Jamba-Quest (0.5) option screen - opinions requested.

[Jafula]

I have been updating Jamba and wondered if I could get some feedback on the Jamba-Quest option screen. I feel the current options are too confusing and I have attempted to simplify them.

The options no longer contain "abandon or watch" options as these only occur if you press a button on the special Jamba Quest window.

The quest completion wording has been simplified. Does it make sense? :P

Should I integrate the decline quest option in the select and accept quest. I cannot imagine not wanting to mirror declines if you are mirroring selection and acceptance.
-OR-
Should I separate out quest acceptance from quest selection? Not sure I won't to do this, but open to suggestions.

The screenshot shows the default options.

If you have any suggestions on how things could be improved or think options are missing, please let me know.



Jafula.

OMG .. That looks nice... each version gets easier than the previous
Do you want me to translate your UI to french ? This could be great for the french community and could be done for your release

Do you have planned to add the sell of quest items over all toons at the same time as we spoke previously ?

Considering the new Feature "interact with target" introduced in the 3.1 perhaps you could consider adding it somehow with jamba to auto select/turn-in or whatever to enhance the slaves experience, don't you think ?

After looking through the options in the screenshot you provided: All of them make perfect sense to me. I like the option "If Slave Reward selected, Complete Quest with Master". I don't actually know if that is in the current version of Jamba but it's somewhat annoying to select the same (useless) reward on a few slaves because you can't use any of them

About your question: "Should I integrate the decline quest option in the select and accept quest. I cannot imagine not wanting to mirror declines if you are mirroring selection and acceptance."
I personally think you should although it's not a problem for me just turn both options on. I haven't been in situation yet where I wanted my slaves to not mirror my quest decline.

Good luck making a choice

*Edit*

I can see in the screenshot, "Slave chooses same reward as Master".
Does the other option, "If Slave reward selected......" behave the same as, do not mirror the master's selection?

Yes; you can infer the opposite like you do:

If a slave reward is NOT selected; the quest will NOT be automatically completed.

Do you think this needs to be more obvious?

It should be easy to do as it is only new locale files that need to be made. I will get in touch nearer the time.

This idea: [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=172214#post172214'][Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. 12th Update - 0.4d released.[/url] - yes, I do want to do that; with the key modifiers; means that any item, not just quest items could be sold by all toons at the same time. Its a really good idea.

I think the new interact with target function is protected; so you could only use it from a hardware event (key press, mouse click).
See posts 9 and 10 on this thread .

This option is in the current version of Jamba - it is on the Jamba Quest screen and called "Complete Quest If Slaves Have Choice Selected". Its description is: "Using the mirror master no reward choice, check this option to pre-select the reward choices on the slaves before completing the quest on the master.

Essentially you still have to select a reward on a slave; but when you press complete quest on the master, the slaves will complete the quest if they have a reward selected.

Question is; do you want an option where in some cases, you don't care what the slaves get - just get them to pick a random one (or the plate item or the sword, etc, or the masters choice)? So another option that might read "if no selection made and master complete quest, then pick 'best' reward" or "if no selection made and master complete quest, then pick master choice". Should this be another seperate option to be able to turn on?

That sounds awesome and would be great if you could make that possible.

I like the look a lot, seems much simpler and looks like it does almost exactly what i like by default.

Is that "All Auto accept any quests" now going to include the main? If so, then thank you, it was always a bit odd for me having to manually accept on just one guy when everyone else already had the quest. (and then if i really don't want to continue the quest chain i just use your abandon function)

Looking foward to the next update.

The auto accept quest line is when someone in the group does an escort.
The dialogue box pops up and says, would you like to do this quest too?

The slaves will then automatically click yes, with this option.
You still need someone in the party to take the quest initially, which will probably be you on the master's active screen.
