Hi, thanks and you are most welcome.

I am planning to update this addon including possibly a new method of handling pings that is more accurate/reliable. I will look into whether this will be feasible (in term of multi-ping data transmission for single events) once I dig into that.

Otherwise if I remember correctly you are limited to 5 usable digits (with the 5th being only partially reliable/accurate) due to rounding ZOS performs on the map coordinates which are what the addon uses to send data (encodes into a 'fake' set of coordinates and sends it to the map ping system).

Currently adding more options is not possible due to this accuracy limitation, but if it is possible to stagger evens over multiple pings that should be an effective workaround. I did not like other library options in the past due to larger data sharing components and constant on/off toggles needing to be managed, however this may be possible with LibMapPing, or I might end up just rebuilding the current system.

I finally get to play Greymoor today for the first time really since all the maintenance and updating addons and then my internet was down for a day. Crazy timing! But I will definitely make time for this 'soon.'

Hi Baertram,

I will definitely look into it.

Not really possible or practical given current API limitations. Without getting too technical, there is no "official" data sharing capability within the API. The only method currently available is encoding data within the coordinates (x, y) of map pings which are sent to all group members. The limitation of this is that the game engine uses rounding on these coordinates resulting in a 4 decimal depth of reliable data, beyond which you will end up seeing wrong values for rolls.

Part of this number range must contain the information about the type of roll and result values, and the ping coordinates only go from 0.0 to 1.0, which to put it simply limits the number of possible roll options to the first position after the decimal or a total of 9 options.

I have tried to pick an array of options that satisfy most realistic roll scenarios. The ability to roll out of 10, 50, 100, or 1000 along with the dice options is to me much more important than including one-off scenarios like 50-100 rolls.

I agree more options is (almost) always better, however I also do not feel too much is lost by this limitation of data positions not being able to fit more options like rolling between X and Y and such.

No, thanks. I just did a quick update (libs and API) so users don't have to check "enable out of date addons" anymore. I also added a check that prevents RollCall processing if the player is in combat, which should help cut down on false positive responses to actual pings as well as (hopefully) eliminate the problems some have described in dungeons/trials, which is likely caused by other data sharing addons making use of pings excessively to track group DPS and RollCall previously trying to respond to each of these.

I am not convinced LibGroupSocket is the best solution for this addon to eliminate reacting to actual pings because 1) it also has the same problem on occasion and 2) I don't like the idea of having to manually go into Addon Settings and enable data sharing every time I join a group just so I can /roll with friends, then going back and turning data sharing off again just to avoid sharing other things like my DPS.

The idea of LibGroupSocket is good, but the functionality would have to be duplicated in a more streamlined standalone fashion for this addon. I am working on this for the next update so hopefully it will be able to eliminate the majority of map coordinate rounding errors effecting results (already pretty rare) and also most cases where the addon reacts to actual map pings.
