GWSonar

A demonstration of the GreenWall add-on communication API.

Overview

This add-on is a simple add-on which provides an example of the messaging API provided by GreenWall in versions 1.7 and later. GreenWall is an add-on which bridges the guild chat of multiple guilds (or guild confederations) so that they appear to share the same guild chat.

GWSonar alows a user to send a hidden request message to other members of the confederation. Other instances of the add-on will respond and the requesting can view response time metrics.

This add-on shows how third-party add-on developers can use the communication bridging for building other distributed applications for guild confederations.

2. Close World of Warcaft.
