(Heh, that thread is 3 years old, but very relevant.)

Any problems, please post below.

Cheers,
Jafula.

Sweet! Thank you for your great work with this addon. It really is a treasure for the community.

Thanks Jafula...

Using the curse client to grab this it does not include the jamba target directory. The download from you site does.

Cheers for letting me know. I think I've fixed the problem with release 0.9.1, but I have no easy way of testing it.

Hello Mr. Jafula

After updating through curse I lost all modules. Only team and profile is avaible now in release 0.9.1.

I can see you now have all modules inside jamba main addon. If there is an new option to turn the modules on/off I was unable to find it.
Im back to release 0.9 and all module is online again.

Is there an error in the latest release?

The one on Curse isn't set up right. It looks like they stripped all the modual folders and just stuck everything in the main Jamba folder. I'd suggest going directly to Jafula's site and getting the one there.

Thx for your reply. Im back to 0.9 as shown on your picture on the left,
it's the release from today on your right picture who is not showing the modules.

Jamba Version: 0.9.1
WoW Game Version: 4.3.0
Release Date: 12th January 2012

I see the 0.9.1 release on curseforge but not on jafulas website and not here.
http://wow.jafula.com/remository?fun...derby=2&page=4
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/

I'll wait 'N'follow this thread and see if a new release will fix the bug. Release 0.9 works fine for me.

Opps. Sorry, there was a problem with the package. It's fixed now. If you use Curse, please update again, it's at 0.9.2, but functionally exactly the same as 0.9 from my website.

Thank you very much.

There appears to be a bug in Jamba (probably event handling) that has a drastic effect on load times.

In testing with CPU profiling on, Jamba increases login and UI reload times by ~15 seconds for me, which turns into a lot of waiting when logging multiple characters in simultaneously. I tested this both with very few addons other than Jamba, and with all my addons enabled. UI reloads take a couple seconds without Jamba, and around 20 with. More careful testing shows that the base Jamba addon doesn't take long to load, but every module increases load times by 1-2 seconds.

I found an effective workaround too: Editing the .toc for every Jamba module to support AddonLoader. Jamba doesn't seem to have any issues with being loaded on demand other the minor problem of Jamba's additions to the quest log starting out visible, and my load times are much faster after doing this.

Issue I've been having, can't seem to find a solution.

For some reason, my 4Dk/1Pal team's fps always drops below 10 when I have "Item Use" module enabled. Disabled, my frames go back to normal at 60, exactly how I have it set in Isb. I later made 2 new teams, 5 Shamans and 5 Priests, but they run just dandy with it on. All teams have the exact same jamba configurations for all modules.

So at the moment, I've figured I've done something on my dks team that completely finagled with my frame rates. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem before and was able to get around it?

hey my jamba talk chat dont work someone whispers me and the master dont get the message ?

could someone helP ?

Does Jamba work with 4.3.2? I'm having trouble with it on my iMac :'( It is the add-on that I use the most too!


Never mind. Got it to work. Donation coming your way.

I seriously can't PvE box (i.e quest to lvl ) without it! You are a genius mate!

Awesome you got it to work! And thanks very much for the donation. I was rather surprised when paypal emailed me, I haven't had a donation in a long time. Yay!

Are you still having this problem? Do you have other teams that work ok? If so do you have other addons with this team that has the problem that the other teams don't have? I'll get back to you after you've answered those questions...

If you screenshot and post your /jamba-talk configuration screen I might be able to help. Does it work if you disable all your other addons?

Thanks for the heads up. I can't do what you have done because I'll have a dependancy on AddonLoader, but I can do the same thing internally. Will do it if I have time; there are a few higher priority things to do before that, but I need to find the time / inclination to do more Jamba development. (I'll always make sure it _mostly_ works for each WoW patch.)

Mate,your add-on is easily the most useful add-on in WoW. Coupled with carbonate, a boxer doesn't need anything else.

I genuinely can't tell you much time your add-on saves me every day! I was getting so sick of selecting 'pass on loot' and other things every time I made a group, like having to share each quest manually!

I can't believe other boxers who use your add-on aren't donating money as well! Expect a donation from me every time that your add-on works with a new patch :) And increasing amounts as I'm increasing the number of toons I box so your add-on becomes even more of a time saver!

Has anyone had difficulties getting Starter Edition Accounts to work under Jamba? I created a new starter account using RAF to finish out some boosting I'd missed but I can't get it and the original account talking. I'm using the same config that works for my 5 boxing so it's not that I've forgotten something basic but maybe starter accounts can't send messages to private channels?

As I want to boost some toons to 60 anyway I may just breakdown & give blizzard the $20 but I thought I'd ask first

Jeremiah: thanks for reminding me to do right by Jafula.

Boost em to 80 bro. RAF now goes to 80!

How good is this add-on? It should be included in the in game UI. Master auto shares quests, toons auto accept quests and you can track how many pickups each party member has. Would be fantastic for single-boxers to use as well!

From

http://us.battle.net/support/en/arti...on-account-faq

>> In-game access to public chat channels unavailable; players are limited to communicating using only say, party, or whisper
>> Characters are not able to send whispers to other characters unless they have been added to the characters' friends' lists or have received a whisper from a character first

Yes, starter editions cannot use private channels, but you can turn off the private channels in Jamba, by checking the core:advanced option "assume all characters are online".

But Jamba still needs whispers to work, so you'll have to make sure your starter and original characters are friends.

That should be enough to get you going, but I've not tested this. Feel free to let me know how you get on.

(I figure the donation was from you, thanks very much as well!)

ok i just returned to boxing after building a new computer and now im having issues with jamba. everytime i switch mains or click anywhere outside of wow it disbands my whole party/raid. i was just wondering if this was a bug or it is an issue on my end. i even set my whole thing back to default and it still does it

Definitely not a Jamba thing.

1) Check that you don't have Jamba's disband team key binding set up in the wow keybindings.
2) Disable all other addons except Jamba and see if the problem still happens. If the problem goes away one of your addons is causing issues.

Forget this post :D i was being a dum a$$

~~
im stupid :D

I'm having an issue with getting the Jamba Quezt Watcher to track quests. I'm running Jamba 0.9.

Description:

I'm running a 5 man party. Jamba is installed on all 5 toons, and works wonderfully for quest accepting, taxi'ing, etc.

When I accept a quest this is what happens:

1) The name of the quest appears, but it only displays that 2/5 (two out of five) party members have the quest. It's always the same two party members (both are set as slave). Yes, I've confirmed that all five toons do indeed have the quest. Jamba Quest Watcher just seems to only to be able to identify two of them.

2) I can force the quest watcher to update if I go into the quest tab and hit track all, and then I'll get all 5/5.

If this is the best it is going to be, then so be it, but I'm thinking that since the quest watcher is picking up that 2 of the slaves are getting a new quest, it should be able to identify that all 5.

Any ideas on what something has gone wrong or a work around? thanks!

Your two slaves probably have the Blizzard WoW UI option (not Jamba) that automatically tracks quests when they are picked up turned on. You will need to do the same on your other three toons. Sorry, I can't remember where the option is in the UI and I am not at home to be able to look. The option will be on for the two slaves that work and off for the others. A bit of poking in the WoW UI options and you should be able to find it, something like automatically track objectives.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, that fixed it. :)

So, just for future reference, for the Jamba Quest Watcher to work correctly the Automatic Quest Tracking (under Interface -> Objectives) must be checked. Right?

Short version:

Yes

Long version:

Well, if you want it to appear in the list immediately, yes.

Otherwise you can do what you did as a workaround and toggle tracking using the Quest UI.

(Basically Jamba piggybacks off the Blizzard quest tracking mechanism, so if you want to track a quest with Jamba, you must track it using the Blizzard UI and Jamba has tools so you can toggle quest tracking on all your toons from one toon.)

Awesome, thank you very much! :)

Now I have a question, since i happened to think of it earlier, now i know this might be a bit unconventional, but is there any way that you could integrate a shared professions feature with jamba, that would sync professions across accounts. So I could be on any toon on my jamba team and have information on professions from any other toon across that teams set of accounts? I mean im not sure how much demand there is for such a feature, but I have quite a few toons with different professions on different accounts with different recipes, and I currently have an addon that would let me save "friends" professions but those have to be manually logged and updated by relinking the profession. Now if you had something where it just took note of everyones professions saved them account wide, and then when you were in a team with your other toons you could see them it would be ideal. Anyhow just my thought/idea/suggestion in the form of a question if this is something you have considered

I don't know how long ago this worked, but I went back to an old team and have been questing to level them up to 85.
The issue is that I don't see a confirmation message on the main toon when other toons have accepted or completed a quest, or have made progression in a quest (such as completing one part or getting a needed item).
I've fiddled with all the options in Jamba I can think of that might help, but no joy.
Not a huge deal, but a little annoying, since I know it used to work at one point.
What am I missing?

Hey patrick you should check out altoholic. Alternatively, you could just have them in the same guild and see it via there...although that would be like the least efficient work around.
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/altoholic

Keep in mind this addon can quickly become a memory hog...

This feature would be nice to see in Jamba, just because Jafula could easily remove everything from Altoholic that is unnecessary to us. I guess the only immediate problem I would see is the increase in memory that this would require. Some of us are already jammed up on memory as it is.

Jamba is modular, which is very cool.

Enable the pieces that you use.
Disable the piece that you don't.

Not sure if I'll be able to get an answer here, but since the patch, I've gotten multiple LUA errors constantly popping up from Jamba Team and Jamba Item Use. Attached is the 3 main ones (the last one is repeated multiple times for each button). Anyone seen this before an able to help me find a solution?

Oh, I'm running Jamba 0.9.2...

Yes granted I could go to altoholic, but I prefer to stay with Jamba, just because of the fact that it is modular. The other thing that it would do well is that since it syncs data on the fly, I can have an update to one toons profession while I am actively crafting my engineering while leveling up.

They are actually already in the same guild. The problem is that it isn't so much trying to get the primary professions of that set of multiboxed toons, it is trying to get the other characters on the accounts professions which are scattered across multiple toons. I was figuring jamba would be the easiest to build this on just because it has the communication already setup.

Is there a list which describes what each module does? I probably can disable over half of the modules but just the name isnt enough to know if I use it or not.

Same here.

It seems like my slaves used to mirror the master's gossip choices, but it's not working for me in 0.92. Has this option been moved/removed? The add-on web site has mirroring options listed under the Quest section, but I don't see them in the latest version, and I think the module description is outdated since that page (http://wow.jafula.com/addons/jamba/jamba-quest) hasn't been updated in a while.

The option is still there. Make sure your slaves are all in the same team on each toon and that you have pushed the settings to all slaves.

Hi all,

I've been dualboxing for a couple of months on two 85s (which I'd levelled to 85 before beginning dualboxing and then transferred one to my new account). Now I'm trying to level two chars from lvl 1 to 85, through a mixture of dungeons and instances. Jamba seems to be the obvious choice to use for quest acceptance, but unfortunately, after over two hours of trying, I can't seem to get it to work. By this, I mean the following:

• Features such as automatic quest acceptance and auto-vendoring junk work fine on the master character (Saelena), but not on the slave (Saelene).
• I can see all modules of jamba on my master (by looking at the UI brought up by the /jamba command), but on my slave I only see core and profile. All modules are enabled on both on the addons menu.
• When I push settings on my master, I see the line 'sending settings for all modules' followed by 1 line of sending for each module and ending with 'settings received from Saelena'.
• When I push settings on my slave I see 'sending settings for all modules' and then 'sending settings for: jamba-core'. Apart from these two lines, nothing occurs.
• Messages sent to the slave are not forwarded to the master, despite this option being enabled within the UI.
• Commands such as '/jamba-team' are recognised on my master but not on my slave. The command '/jamba' seems to be the only jamba-related command that works for both.
• On logging in, my slave is prompted to enter the password for channel 'JambaTeamIsOnline', while my master is not. I changed the password from the default to 'Saelen'. Whether both characters are in this channel or not, the above errors are still experienced.

This suggests to me that Jamba is completely non-functional on my slave. I imagine I am doing something rather stupid, but I would very much appreciate it if anyone suggested how I might be able resolve these issues.
