I think that's too much data and goes beyond the scope of this little addon. It's possible to do it and maybe I will do it in the future, but for now I want to see how this one works out.

Best would be if you can see both when toggling always. A button or keybind to send the dps or hps parse to chat would be awesome too.

Looks like it doesnt know when a 'new' fight has started or it doesn't reset properly? Is this because it collects the data from ftc/combat metrics and it depends on that addons combat timeout? I see you are also the author or one of the authors of cmx. Why not adding a group hps/dps share feature to cmx? Seems you have a all-in-one addon then?

Regarding the timing / dps issues, you are right. However I will remove these dependencies in the next version and make this addon standalone.

As of now I don't want to incorporate this into combat metrics. Especially in this case where this is more a proof of concept and a test to see how zenimax reacts to abusing the map ping system for communication means.

Thanks for reporting. I plan to change it so that both is visible at the same time and the button changes what you send. Adding an option to post a report to chat should also be possible then.

Even when I set the update time to 2000ms. Questing/delves, even with 2-man is no problem so far.

I experienced this myself once when combining it with sharing resources (magicka/stamina) using JoGroup or GroupResources. Apparently only one of them or Group Damage Share can be used. Maybe one needs to implement a throttle into both to not exceed the average 1 message per second which could be the lmit for map pings.

Additionally FTC has a DPS sharing option, so if you run this as well you might get a similar issue.
I'd really wish we would get some means to communicate in addons. But so far I feel Zenimax doesn't like the idea.

We should probably add a trottle to LibGroupSocket itself instead of in each handler seperately. Especially since Raid Notifier has ulti sharing in it now. I'll look at it tomorrow, wont be a huge problem but I'll need to make sure the handler doesn't keep queuing things while it waits for its turn on the big pile of pings.

I asked sirinsidiator about this yesterday but so far he didn't respond. But that would be the prime solution. It doesn't handle FTC though which seems to me to be the main competitor in this field. For now I increased the message timeout to 2s

Btw, it might be good to add a few lines to your handler like this:

Lua Code:

local function NumCallbacks()
    local registry = LGS.cm.callbackRegistry[ON_DATA_CHANGED]
    callbacks = registry and #registry or 0
end
 
function handler:RegisterForUltimateChanges(callback)
    LGS.cm:RegisterCallback(ON_ULTIMATE_CHANGED, callback)
    NumCallbacks()
end
 
function handler:UnregisterForUltimateChanges(callback)
    LGS.cm:UnregisterCallback(ON_ULTIMATE_CHANGED, callback)
    NumCallbacks()
end
...
 
function handler:Send()
    if(not saveData.enabled or not IsUnitGrouped("player") or callbacks == 0) then return end
....
end

The main reason is that it will stop the handler from sending if there are no addons using it. This becomes especially needed when the user has addons that use multiple different handlers. What these lines effectively allow is multiple handlers to be loaded (e.g. through the manifests) without issues as long as only one handler has callbacks. I guess it is mainly a temp fix/workaround but it feels a bit more user-friendly by letting the addons themselves (also) have an option to use it or not.

Donations

First of all: I neither need donations for living, nor do they affect my work on my addons.
I usually create them in my free time for myself and my friends to learn about the game and improve my performance in my PvE endeavours.
Nevertheless money can always be spend on fun things or to help out a less fortunate guild mate with a new mouse or headset so we can continue to have fun with this game.

In case you want to donate anyway:
