Presuming that will communicate through a channgel, much like the PartyQuests that use Sky channels.
|
In its current iteration (yes, I've been working on it) it doesn't use channels at all. It uses an "invisible whisper" system.
Basically, you'll /rb send <person> <tradeskill> (maybe eventually that'll be dropdown and text box) and RecipeBook will send them a polite little whisper - something like:
I type
/rb send Ratstomper Blacksmithing
If you *don't* have RecipeBook installed you'll see:
Ayradyss whispers : [RecipeBook_Prefix] Hello, this is Ayradyss's RecipeBook. May I send your RecipeBook my Blacksmithing data?
If you *do* have RecipeBook installed, you won't see that whisper. You'll just see a popup :
Ayradyss wants to send you RecipeBook data for Blacksmithing. Accept/Decline?
If you click Accept, your RecipeBook will send a "sure, go ahead" and my RecipeBook will ship the data - skill, specializations, rank, and known recipes - using those same prefix-coded whispers. It'll all be invisible to you.
Then my RB sends another message to say I'm done, your RB sends a response to say you got it, and both clients "hang up the phone".
I'll see :
<RecipeBook:> Successfully sent Blacksmithing data to Ratstomper. and you'll see
<RecipeBook:> Successfully received Blacksmithing data from Ayradyss.
If you send to someone who doesn't have the RB client installed, they'll get the initial whisper - which, except for the prefix, will be human-readable and make sense - and then after 1 minute of no response, your client will time out.
You can't send data if you have a preexisting session open - i.e. the fastest you can spam RecipeBook sends to someone without the client is once a minute.
It'll be set up with multiple options - you'll be able to auto-accept|prompt|auto-decline from friends or guildmates, and you'll be able to prompt|auto-decline from nonfriends. Anyone you auto-decline to will see a friendly error :
<RecipeBook Error:> Ayradyss is not accepting recipe data at this moment. while you'll get a quick message on your screen that you just auto-declined and who you declined from.
My channels are full full full without any mods using them already
