Another little something I have been working on..

[Zub]

haven't tried this (although it looks very handy) as i'm a bit concerned about the bandwidth of my jamba channel.
Basically, i have a poor ping (~450) and i think it affects the speed at which jamba updates things (such as follow status etc)
adding more features i'm afraid will make this even slower (as more requests are sent through the jamba channel)

For example, sometimes i click my jamba follow macro on the main, and i see the status bars of my slaves go green/red a number of times before stayingon on solid green.


What i'm trying to ask I guess, is whether adding this feature is going to be very spammy in the jamba channel, how i can improve the speed of said channel, and whether there is maybe a message priority in the channel (like "hp status requests" > "follow requests" > "trade requests' or something)

cheers,

You programmer types that over analyze everything! Geez.

Jamba-Trade only sends stuff on the addon channel when you trade. There is no background chatter at all. If you watch the video, you'll see a delay from when the trade window opens until the Jamba-Trade window opens. That delay is the wait while the inventory is being pushed on the addon channel. So, no, not spammy at all.

Also 0.7 includes a few speed boosts, 1) group up and your settings / follow status will go a lot faster, 2) the ChatThrottleLib settings have been tweaked to allow a lot more traffic through, your alts need to drop to 10fps before it halves the throughput.
