[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Old Thread

[Jafula]

Jafula i got a question, or maybee a request for next update/version.

Is it possible to get something like this

like /jamba-follow master all

but instead something like this

/jamba-cast assist party1 "spell" "tag"

if thats possible i only had to make "macros" on my main :)

Thanks otherwhise for a wonderful addon :), btw is it ok because of ToS/EULAHey; addons are not allowed to cast spells for you (Blizzard says so); so I would not be able to do this for you. I am planning (eventually) a method to make macros on one character and push those macros to other characters.

[Elloreaes]

Awesome addon, keep up the great work.

Is it possible for you to add a "Dismounted" warning in 0.5?

In the same vein of "(Toon) is attacked!", I'd love to have a warning for "(Toon) is dismounted!" for all those times when I'm running my group through mobs. Would be wonderful not to have to keep checking their mount icon.

Hey Jafula - I've seen several threads about Jamba-0.5 coming along nicely -- the dreaded question -- any thoughts on when it might enter a beta state? I'd be happy to do some testing :-P

Oh ok, didnt know that :).

But im gonna test the addon youve done and see how it works and give you a review :)

Wow. this a super long thread. (on page 4 of 50-some) I would like to say that i love this addon, but i am having one problem. (it may be adressed somewhere in this thread, but i havent come across it yet.) I can't seem to get the spam follow funtion to work. i have to manually tell the toon to follow (using /jamba-follow command) and it doesn't go back to following if follow is broken for whatever reason (use of arrow keys, jumping in water, right click movement in the slave screen, etc.) it auto follows after combat like it is supposed to, tho.



All in all, great add on! I still need to fiddle with settings to get it all going, but it is awesome! keep it up!

- ElloThis would be spammy if it sent a warning everytime you dismounted (i.e. when you wanted to dismount). There would need to be a way to distinguish when the dismounting was happening because of running through mobs. I'm guessing when the dismounts happens, the toon will also be in combat. How about the warning occuring if a dismount and in combat? This assumes I can use the WoW api to find out when a character has been dismounted (I'm sure there will be a way).

(it may be adressed somewhere in this thread, but i havent come across it yet.) I can't seem to get the spam follow funtion to work.It is called follow strobing; and you can use the following command from your master toon to start it:

/jamba-follow strobeonme all

and to stop (from the master character)

/jamba-follow strobeoff all

Remember once command above has been issued and the strobing has stopped; you still need to press a movement key to stop your characters from following.

Here is a list of current slash commands ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=142561&highlight=slash#post142561') .

Hey Jafula - I've seen several threads about Jamba-0.5 coming along nicely -- the dreaded question -- any thoughts on when it might enter a beta state? I'd be happy to do some testing :-PIt's not going to be anytime soon. I'm currently shifting from London to New Zealand via some very lovely European countries. I only have my netbook with me and it JUST runs one WoW (badly), I doubt it will run two instances.

Having said that, if I can find a WiFi spot and convince my better half to settle in for half an hour; I can update some code (or reply to messages on this forum). I would like to get 0.5 out as it has been dragging on for a while and all this renewed interest in it (thanks to Ellay's post) has fired me up :-).

All going well you might see something mid-May, but I'm not promising anything.

Something you can do now (if you want) is try Jamba on the 3.1 PTR (because I can't). See this thread ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=20349') .

Oh, and if you are around when 0.5 does reach beta, I would love your help testing!

[Blubber]

Just a little question about Jamba internals Jafula, is it possible to get the follow status for all characters in the group list? I'm trying to make a Pitbull addon that can display follow status in the pitbull unitframes, but I can't seem to request the follow status.You will be able to do that in Jamba 0.5; Jamba will have its own "api" and you will be able to subscribe to messages Jamba sends (like follow status). Unfortunately there is no easy way to get the follow status currently.

Nice!

[Fuzzyfurball]

hey i love jamba :love: :love: :love: x 9000 lol but i was wondering is there any way u can add in an talant thing where it will mirror the masters talants

[Fuzzyfurball]

ames. The code is supposed to be able to handle all the special characters, but people have reported problems. I'm sorry you are having trouble with them. I'm writing a new version of Jamba, and I'll take extra care when working with those characters.

i had this prob to what happen was i was useing the upercase ver of the special characters and wow turns them all lower case -.- :love:

[Huwa]

Me and my GF switched to Jamba 2 days ago.
Awesome :) still need to sort out stuff, but we're getting there!
Keep up the good work!

This assumes I can use the WoW api to find out when a character has been dismounted (I'm sure there will be a way).That would be great, as that is really the point. Slave toon gets dismounted by mob, warning occurs so I know to go back and save his bacon. You could even cut down the spam a little more by only making the warning apply to slave toons as there really is no point in a warning for the master since you're playing him.

There is an additional way to eliminate the spam, but I'm not sure it's possible. This would be to only give the warning if the Master is moving (not the slave as they may have been rooted). Normally, when I dismount while multi-boxing, the master is stationary. Not sure if there is a way to poll for movement as opposed to stationary though.

After trying the above macros, I've found what is about the only functional way Jamba will work for me, with following the leader, is to simply have /focus <desired toon> bound to f8-f12 (and set focus to master selected in switch). However, once the switch is made, the New Main toon keeps refocusing, restrobing on the previous master, very very very annoying, as it keeps snapping the main toon back to following the previous master. Even while the current toon is shown as the focus. It seems to take between 1 and 5 minutes before Jamba finally realizes that <current toon> is the main toon and it quits focusing, and forcint the following, of the previous master (just the current main toon does this, the rest of the group focuses correctly)...
Suggestions? I have seen the problems you are having when switching master. I thought I caught most of them with the updates after the updated vehicle follow patch.

So, make sure you are using the latest version of Jamba.

From memory, I think that it may be possible for the master to get out of sync in high lag situations if you use the Focus method (which you are). I need to investigate this more.

Switch OFF the "set focus to master selected" in the switch menu and try the following macros for switching master:

On the toon that is going to be the master:
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/jamba-follow strobeonme all
/focus NewMasterToon

On all the other toons:
/focus NewMasterToon

Also, it seems like the messages Jamba sends between toons are taking a long time to get through. Are all your wow instances running at least 20fps? If not, the message rate is halved (which is bad). This is because of a third party library I am using.

Please let me know if you are having problems with those macros; they should work without issue.Is there any way to find the FPS of my alt screens (while they're not the active large screen? I use 4 stacked on the right and my main is on the left.

I'm going to be switching my macros to the above tonight and will report on the "leader lag" situation.

BTW EVERYONE... I hope ya'll donate REGULARLY to Jafula/Jamba. The freaking author responds. If that's not worth a donation I don't know what is... this addon makes multiboxing possible for me when the straight macro method fails. Thought I'd plug that before I send another donation ;)

[Jafula]

Is there any way to find the FPS of my alt screens (while they're not the active large screen? I use 4 stacked on the right and my main is on the left. If you focus (click) in each WoW window and press CTRL-R; it should show the FPS in the middle above your action bars. When you focus onto another window, you will see the fps drop to whatever you set maxfpsbk to.

Edit: If you want to try and change the ChatThrottleLib that causes half output when FPS drops below 20; the instructions are here ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=188950#post188950') .
I'm going to be switching my macros to the above tonight and will report on the "leader lag" situation.I hope that fixes your problem.

As for the donation; you can't right now; I don't have a paypal account as I am moving countries. You could try again in a months time if you still have the urge then. I should be setup by then.

Hi Jafula.. I have an issue while follow strobe is ON ..
my clones cannot drink or eat anything... even with the option for eat or drink turned on, they sit and then stand up..
I have to turn the autostrobe off before eating or drinking anything.
Any idea to get this solved ?

thx

[Tasty]

Hello hello. Firstly I'm still using your addon and I still love you for it :P

Kinda wondering if I can make a request. At the moment you can forward whispers you receive to guild chat. Is at it all possible to forward whispers you send to guild chat? Its just that sometimes I have conversations with people and instead of having to copy paste my responses into guild chat it would be awesome if it did it automatically, that way my guildies could see the full conversation. if its not possible or you don't have the time (who does?) I'll still be your friend :D

Master: /jamba setmeasmaster all /jamba-follow strobeonme all /focus NewMaster Vyntica

Using the latest versions of Keyclone and Jamba (installed on 3/3/09).

Suggestions?

[Eastt]

Hmmm... is there any reason my Jamba Display only shows stats (Exp, Health, Follow Status) for my group leader? For the other charactes its completely blank. Wondering if anyone is having the same problem.

[Ivanhalf]

2 Eastt

I've encountered it.
If you set everything up correctly and it is the 1st boot with Jamba you will not have information updates for your toons until their Health/experience will change. Effectively I suppose that Jamba on toons sends information only when there is some change, not by timer. Untill your toons receive some damage or kill something for XP you will not see anything but just empty bars.

Hope it helps.

1st and foremost - thanks for the great addon. I'm using it for 2 days and i definitely
love it. Keep it up!

I have some suggestions which might be nice improvement for the addon in mind.

1) Range Meter

On my main i have addon http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7297-RangeDisplay.html
which is great help to me as it shows the very accurate range numbers. As
multiboxer i have very big issues with aggro radius as my team usually fights
mobs 2-3 levels higher than me. So I always try to engage mobs from as far as
possible. The best thing for this addon is that it not only have capability to
estimate the distance to the target, but also for the focus.

Screenshot from the Wowinterface (without Focus range as there are no focus)

http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw8425.jpg

My current setup is one priest+4mages (just started them after the shammies)
And as priest stands real close to mages i have some idea based on range
numbers whether my mages are able to blast target or not. But as soon as i add
some melee tank for instances i will lose such possibility. Right now i plan to
add this addon to my slaves setup to be able to track distances for toons and
distance to main (i have focus on main). But it is inconvenient like hell.

What i have in mind: in the Jamba team window along with the "follow
status" add the "range status" to target and to focus. It can be
done with color map for different ranges or numbers just like in the addon i currently
use

What it will do:

- Ability to see if all the toons are able to blast mob
- Ability to see if a healer can heal tank (if tank is set to focus for healer)
- Ability to see if toons are dangerously close to mob AOE
- Ability to see if toons are in follow/trade/decurse range
- Overall better manage the distance

Also it will be nice to get information about the facing of the toon if
possible (in the crowded PvP/PvE it is big issue). I have in mind some sort of
green/red border around the distance numbers if the target is in front or not.

2) Status window
the second improvement i have in mind is the status of actions

Now toons report their status to chat, but with similar names (common practice
among multiboxers) i can not tell fast enough which one of my toons have
troubles. Furthermore when i mashing some DPS/healing button the information in
chat window scrolling like mad if the spell ir not ready or similar so it is
possible to not even notice that something is wring.

I really do not need health or experience bars for each toon to display on my
main window. As for health/mana bars i have Xperl or default WoW interface. As
for XP i do nor really need to see the XP for the team constantly and after i
hit 80 i will not need it at all.

But i definitely need status of action for each toon.
Ideally:
- If the action i try to make is not possible due to STUN, SILENCE, FACING, NOT
READY, ACTION IN PROGRESS etc...
- Castbars for each toon similar to Quartz with displayed Latency? so I can
actually know when to press the next spell to maximize DPS output (nit an issue
for PvE but BIG issue in PvP)
http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw8026.jpg
- Ability to see short time buffs (Clearcasting, Eclipse, etc) and this ability
should be customizable so i can chose which procs to display FOR EACH TOON (multiclass setups)

The ideal castbar IMO should be:



[frostbolt----------| | 100ms 1.1][3.0s][4.2s][7.2s]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


I'll explain
1- the name of the spell casting OR the reason why it cant be cast BOLDFACE AND RED
2- the progress bar
3- the start of the latency notifier (similar to Quarz)
4- the latency in ms (really can go without but can be useful)
5- time left to cast/channel
6- Proc 1 [icon] with the time remaining shown in number of seconds as with OmniCC
7- Proc 2
8- Proc 3

This castbars can replace healthbars/xp bars in the current setup IMO

Wow kinda long post...

Jamba Setttings: Switch tab: Set Focus To Master When Changing Master Checked.

On Focus Change Set Master To Focus Checked.

Suggestions? Yes, uncheck both of those options.

Especially the "on focus change set master to focus" as that will interfer with the /jamba setmeasmaster all command.

(And make sure all your toons have the same settings.)

You should be good to go after you uncheck those options.

[Jafula]

Hmmm... is there any reason my Jamba Display only shows stats (Exp, Health, Follow Status) for my group leader? For the other charactes its completely blank. Wondering if anyone is having the same problem.As well as what Ivanhalf mentions, make sure that the toon list on all your characters is the same. You should also check the settings on each character are the same as well.

With Jamba every toon in your team should have the exact same settings as every other toon.

[Jafula]

thxIs anyone else having this problem? All I can think of is that maybe your toon settings are out of sync. Make sure your toon settings are all the same. Unfortunately I am not in a position to test the code anytime soon. When I do get a chance, I will test the code again.

First of all, thanks for the very quick response!
I checked all the settings, and all the team lists everything is the same on all three toons. However, it still doesnt show any info on the other characters. Also... how does Jamba-Quest work exactly, do i need a /command?

No one focuses., no one follows. All switch tabs are the same.

Do all your toons have the tag "all"?

On your master character, if you type into the console

/jamba-follow strobeonme all

do all your other toons start to follow that toon?

[Jafula]

Also... how does Jamba-Quest work exactly, do i need a /command? Make sure the settings in the fourth tab in the /jamba options (called "display") are the same accross all toons. Go kill something and see if the info appears.

Jamba-Quest:
Open a quest npc with your master toon and the same quest npc with your slave toons. Anything you do on your master toon should be mirrored by your slave toons.

[Eastt]

Show Team List, Show Team List to Master Only, Show Follow Status, Show Experience Status are all checked, and show health bars are greyed out. And it is the same on all characters, on another note, my characters have special characters like Ø and Ê in their names, is that a problem?

[Jafula]

my characters have special characters like Ø and Ê in their names, is that a problem?

Ah, that could well be it. Some people have had trouble with those. I bet that will be what is causing the issue. Could you try with a couple of level 1 alts with names without special characters and see if the problem goes away? If it does, I'll see if I can release a patch to fix the problem for you.

It worked fine with the level one alts, so i suppose the special characters are the issue...

I believe all my options are set correctly, but im still not gettin mirror moves from my alts... any common issues with this? Or am i being stubborn.
Great add-on by the way, has saved me sooo much time!

[Marious]

Quick question for you Jafula since you are in the answering mood :) I have a team of 5 and what I noticed was that for some reason my healer and sometimes some of the others will randomly run at me like if I pressed the follow key, which I did not. So the issue was in follow strobe I guess, I checked all the follow options at first or rather the stop follow actions. Normally my set up is as follows, I run in spread out the team and start casting totems then pull with the tank and then start killing everything, most of the time the healer would run at me and get killed, some of the others do it sometime but it seems the healer is the one that does it. So I turned off follow strobe on the healer and she does not do it anymore. I am not sure how she was the only one that did it when the others had the same exact settings. I did check the macros to make sure I did not have follow in there by accident or something and it looked fine no follow on any of my healing/dps(wand) macro so not sure what the heck the healer was doing. If you have any thoughts I am all eyes.

But other than that an I have posted before great addon! I love it makes my MBing a great experience and could not live with out it :)

[Dotalot]

WoW ........ kinda lost for words .... i have been putting off downloading this addon thinking (it will just be another junkie addon i never use) ... well i downloaded it ... and it's not .... it's fooking awesome O.o so many fetures ... so many USEFULL features ..... wow .. i think this is the best addon i have ever used ... IDK how i have been boxing all this time without it .. wow .. lota work went into it and thanks for that ... LOVE the auto decline duals .... LOVE the toons auto pick the same flight path as main ... LOVE the auto invite/set to ffa ... well just plane love it .... one segestion ... idk if it can be done but an auto toon ignore would be great ... is a pain adding the same person to 5 ignore lists .. ty :) best addon EVER :thumbup: :thumbsup: :thumbup: :thumbsup: :thumbup: :thumbsup: :thumbup:

[Jafula]

WoW ........ kinda lost for words .... i have been putting off downloading this addon thinking (it will just be another junkie addon i never use) ... well i downloaded it ... and it's not ....Excellent.

I'll see if I can add a command like

/jamba-ignore toon-to-ignore tag

that will add toon-to-ignore to all of your toons that have the tag "tag".

This is assuming I can call the ignore function using the WoW api. It's on the list for 0.5.

But other than that an I have posted before great addon! I love it makes my MBing a great experience and could not live with out it :)Jamba cannot stop following for you, but it can stop issuing follow commands. Make sure that when you use the jamba command to stop the follow strobing, that you wait a second, then you also press a movement key to stop the character from following as well.

If you use "/jamba-follow strobeoff all" from a master toon, you need to give the system a couple of seconds to send the stop following command to all characters.

If you use the key and macro command on each toon to stop following "/jamba-follow strobeoff", then the toons get the message immediately on keypress and you do not need to wait for the addon messages to be sent and actioned.

If that doesn't make sense, post your follow strobing start and stop commands for each toon and I'll tell you if you can optimise them.

If that is not your problem, then ... sorry, I have no idea why your priest is running to you if all your settings are the same over all your characters and the priest is the only one that misbehaves. You could try deleting your wtf, interface and cache folders for your priest and start over (annoying I know, but it might solve the problem).

Hello hello. Firstly I'm still using your addon and I still love you for it :P

Kinda wondering if I can make a request. At the moment you can forward whispers you receive to guild chat. Is at it all possible to forward whispers you send to guild chat? Its just that sometimes I have conversations with people and instead of having to copy paste my responses into guild chat it would be awesome if it did it automatically, that way my guildies could see the full conversation. if its not possible or you don't have the time (who does?) I'll still be your friend :DI have added your request to my bug tracking system. Yay, that you are still my friend..., so when I come to visit Aussie, you'll buy me a beer? :P

In your case, to get your other toons to follow the master, use:

/jamba-follow master all

Hi Jafula, any news on the 0.5 update ? are you waiting for 3.1 to be released ?

[Caspian]

Hi Jafula,

I have a question about Jamba focus. I have Set Focus to Master when changing Master set. I also have tried using the /jamba setmeasmaster all and /jamba setfocusmaster all and /jamba setfocus NAME all. NAME being my master's name. All 4 of those cause my slaves to report back that their focus is my Master but none of them actually set their focus. Also macros like /assist focus or /target focus do not work.

All I want is for my slaves to Set the Master as focus and then assist focus. Now I did make a normal macro with my Master's name, but sometimes I change masters so using Jamba to set the master as focus would be best.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Jafula, any news on the 0.5 update ? are you waiting for 3.1 to be released ?
thaxYes news I cant wait

[Maxion]

WoW ........ kinda lost for words .... i have been putting off downloading this addon thinking (it will just be another junkie addon i never use) ... well i downloaded it ... and it's not ....Excellent.

I'll see if I can add a command like

/jamba-ignore toon-to-ignore tag

that will add toon-to-ignore to all of your toons that have the tag "tag".

This is assuming I can call the ignore function using the WoW api. It's on the list for 0.5.
Personally i just broadcast my keys and type /ignore name
However I do not know the /command for reporting spam, which i'd prefer over ignoring. At least most of the time.

Thanks!Addons cannot set focus for you. The best I can do, is get the addon to make a macro that does set the focus and a keybind to that macro.

So when you see the messages from the slaves saying that the focus is the master, then you need to press the key you assigned to Jamba Focus in the WoW keybind menu (make sure you broadcast this key to all your instances of WoW). Please note that focus changing does not work in combat. You will have to wait until you are out of combat and try again.

Hi Jafula,

thanks for this awsome addon. Using it for about a week now and cant imagine to play ever without it.

[Moorea]

do you still have to make upi the macros like before when multi boxing to get all your toons to attack the same as your main?Yes.

What, jamba doesn't actually play for you all the other 4 toons ? damn... not as great as I heard it was...

j/k: Jamba is the awesomest addon ever for boxers !!!

[delafoo]

... So now in the Switch tab I only have Display Switch Messages checked, and the new macros as listed previously in and I get nothing.

No one focuses., no one follows. All switch tabs are the same. Bizarre.

Do all your toons have the tag "all"?

On your master character, if you type into the console

/jamba-follow strobeonme all

do all your other toons start to follow that toon?They did have the all tag... I will try the strobe command and see what it does.strobe command doesn't really work either... not sure if the update 'f-ed me up or what. Still have to use just /focus Toon for macros as it is the only thing that will work.
Suggestions?

[Skeuomorph]

With Jamba every toon in your team should have the exact same settings as every other toon.
Does the push to characters button only push that one page, or all settings? It appears to push just the current settings page, which is expected behavior. I'd like, though, a "push all settings from all pages" button, to make sure all settings are perfectly matched.

As for the health or XP being blank on other party members, I've noticed that as well, but it fixes itself after the party member takes damage or gets XP.

I see a lot of requests here for making Jamba into unit frames, but I'd hope you can avoid the temptation. Let people use RAID leader add-ons, there are plenty of man hours invested in those. Hopefully you can stay focused on the pieces there aren't other mods for, so there's time to add the features that really don't exist anywhere else.

One big example from another thread today is party inventory management:

Important:
- leader can see "party" bag
- allow leader to dump contents of own bag to party member bags
- allow leader to get contents of party member bag back to own bag
- from the leader, trade items from toon to toon
- from the leader, tell a toon to equip an item

Nice to have:
- class/usability coloring (click party toon icon, color items in bag red if out of class or level)
- hook into PAWN and show if any items in bags represent an upgrade for an equipment slot on a party member (outline upgrades in gold)
- in the upgrade mode, show the overall PAWN score for each toon, so you know which one should get the upgrade

This last item would really reduce time consuming equipment decisions when leveling a mixed team. After configuring PAWN with the stats weights, one will see easily if there are drops that are upgrades.

Thank you, Jafula, for an extraordinarily useful add on.

[SoulSeekerUSA]

Jafula,

How is everything looking for 3.1 considering it is confirmed for tomorrow? Everything still work?

[davedontmind]

When I'm in a fight, I'm usually bashing my DPS button at the rate of about 4 or 5 times per second.

However, I'm noticing that on my main toon, for literally minutes after the fight has finished, i'm seeing messages like this in white, in the main chat box on my main

ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: I can't do that yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
...
and so on, where "ToonName" is the name of one of my slaves.

I unchecked the "forward errors" and "forward warnings" in Jamba-comms, and pushed to all toons, but I'm still seeing these messages (which must use a fair amount of bandwidth - perhaps it explains the times I've had about a 30-second delay when switching master?).

While writing this post, I just realised that I only ever see the name of one of my 4 slaves in the above messages, so maybe it's just a setting on that one toon - can you suggest what I need to check? Is it those Jamba-comms settings I mentioned above?

[dubiox]

Why are both of these options combined into one configuration checkbox: accept all quests from questgivers and accept all shared quests. Is it possible to separate out this functionality? I have a nice macro to accept the shared quests so I can turn this off, but it would be nice to have it accept shares automatically.

Also, it is very unintuitive to figure out which boxes to uncheck to stop the error/warning spam from all toons in the chat window. I unchecked probably 6 boxes through all the different options panes before getting it to stop. I really have no idea what all those things do. Multiboxer puts those errors in the team frame which is very nice.

Thanks,
-K

Yeap, have to disable jamba to get the group together. Haven't tried reenabling it after though.

[Thulos]

Yeap, have to disable jamba to get the group together. Haven't tried reenabling it after though.Turning off all the auto accept options in Jamba group will allow you to manually click the accept for a group invite. Haven't tried testing any of the other functionality out though.

[Oatboat]

just remove them from your friends list and then invite. ... wierd i know.. but it works.

[Valorin]

Definitely something weird going on. I disabled Jamba entirely because I have an "accept invite" in my "big party button" and that was also declined.

Oat, could you explain in more detail about the friends thing? I have my leader in individual friend's list to help easy mail with a funny ø but that didn't seem to help. Not being able to party easy really sucks.

[Oatboat]

not much to explain.. i have a jamba-invite macro that wont work if they are friended in this 3.1 patch. If i remove them from friends it wont auto accept invite but it wont decline it either so its easier... not fixed but easier.

[Iceorbz]

Yeah my jamba is broken :( i cant invite anyone lol.

Ouch, but wasn't the test realm up at that time couldn't it have been tested then?

[Spudgun]

Haha Thanks for the spamming the invite key tip sounds crazy but it works!

[puppychow]

its a bug in 3.1, hiding the party popup right after doing an AcceptGroup() causes you to decline the group invite. For now here is my temp fix until Jafula comes back, edit the file Jamba\Modules\JambaGroup.lua, go down to around line 530 and comment out the hidePopup = true; line. it will look like this:

-- Accept the group invite if allowed.
if acceptInvite then
AcceptGroup()
--hidePopup = true;
else
-- Otherwise decline the invite if permitted.
if autoDecline then
DeclineGroup()
hidePopup = true;
end
end

just add -- to the line after AcceptGroup() ==> --hidePopup = true;

You will still have the ugly party invite group on your screen, you can do the regular macro to accept-all to get rid of it or it'll go away after a few mins. Unless Blizzard fixes this bug the only real fix is to fire an event like 3 secs later to hide the window, instead of doing it a few lines down.

This is a temporary fix for Jamba 0.4d (the version name is still 0.4d, but it is a changed addon!):
http://www.wow-multiboxing.com/files/Jamba.zip

Changes:
- changed TOC version so it doesn't get marked as an out-of-date macro
- diggla's temporary fix that hides the group invite popup as it should

[edit] Updated!

[Fef]

I didn't have time to do a lot of testing, but it seems some other things are broken. For instance, the special Jamba "Abandon Quest" button does not work anymore.

I can however confirm that spamming my "Grouping" button does work, for some reason.

[DgtlSorcrs]

Folks, there's a better fix...

I ran into this issue in my own addon, and asked for help at the wowace forum.

The user Borlox gave me an effective piece of code


for i=1, STATICPOPUP_NUMDIALOGS do
local dlg = _G["StaticPopup"..i]
if dlg.which == "PARTY_INVITE" then
dlg.inviteAccepted = 1
break
end
end

StaticPopup_Hide( "PARTY_INVITE" )


So, update the StaticPopup_Hide( "PARTY_INVITE" ) so it looks like the example above and it will work.

NOTE: It worked in my addon, but I don't use Jamba, so I can't guarantee it will work there.

Hope that helps

[Heenan]

Now for the next logical question... due to the changes to group order, is there a way to change Jamba for slaves to always accept invites in a particular order?

It works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

[DgtlSorcrs]

Now for the next logical question... due to the changes to group order, is there a way to change Jamba for slaves to always accept invites in a particular order?Well, my guess is that since it was never really an issue before (as the order was predetermined by some strange hudu as I recall), I'm betting that they're just iterated trough in whatever order the team members are in the table.

It seems logical that some kind of sort order / weight / organization could be added and a small config page for managing it would be in the realm of the do-able.

[DgtlSorcrs]

It works perfectly. Thanks a lot.No problem. It's not the most elegant solution... I'm researching a much better long-term fix, but it works well enough for the moment.

Borlox from the wowace.com forums is the one to thank... I just had the good sense to ask and wait for someone smarter than me to hand me the answer on a sliver platter, then share the love. :p

Seriously though, that's why I love the developer community... we help each other out.

Thanks for all the fixes it is MUCH appreciated!!

No problem.

Jafula has helped me out in the past, answering some questions when folks reported issues with my addon and I hadn't checked the board in a while.

The great thing about the dual boxing community and the addon developer community is that there is a great deal of cooperation and camaraderie.

Patch 3.1 was giving every indication that it was another few weeks away, then BOOM! there it is, and it threw a lot of us. I had to solve that very issue with my own addon, so when folks were running into it on Jamba, the only right thing to do was to help out.

Also, I'd like to say that the person who originally came up with the fix for the AcceptGroup() was Borlox from the Wowace.com forums... I just applied it to Jamba. Also, Noctiluca came up with the Quest watch update, I just applied that as well.

[hendrata]

I have another issue with Jamba since the patch: follow after combat no longer works. When my mage slave casts Arcane Missile, it break follow, and after combat he no longer automatically follows the master. It used to work perfectly fine. It's not that big of a deal, I just need to get into habit of hitting my follow macro after combat.

I loaded up the fan fix version of jamba last night to give it a whirl as I haven't used jamba since late last year and wanted to see the changes. There is something though that is puzzling me, the DPS on my 4 shammies has dropped from 1500 to 1200. I use targettarget macros, does jamba require me to use focustarget?

[delafoo]

I've been having trouble with Jamba for a while, since before update 3.1

Switching master's seems to be my main problem. All jamba's for all my toons are set the same,

change main... Jamba, Switch Tab, Set Focus To Master When Changing Master

is selected and Display Switch messages is selected.

This seems to be the ONLY way Jamba will switch my masters, after about a 1-3 minute delay.

I have noticed, however, that selecting the desired master unter the Team Tab and pushing it to

the other toons seems to be almost instant.

Is there a macro or coding that can be done to do this (select from the dropdown menu and push)?

Believe me, I've tried almost every other method and macro given by Jafula and only the focus method has been working.

My toons are: Vantica, Ventica, Vintica, Vontica, Vyntica, Assigned to switch screen and master from F8-F12 Accordingly.

Thanks in advance for responses.

I used to get a ton of "Item is not ready" and "Ability is not ready" messages because I had trinkets/etc. macro'd into my attacks and it used to create a line of spam that would go on for minutes on end after a few fights.

I turned off one of the reporting options to see if the "setmeasmaster" action is getting "queued" and is taking awhile before it gets initiated. I don't know if it's a placebo effect or not but since turning it off it's been much better.

[delafoo]

I hope something happens with it... I tried both of the macro methods for boxing, spent probably about 18+ hours per method trying to set them up to no avail...

I might resort to a reinstall of WoW and Jamba.

This is because having the addon change your focus for you doesn't work in combat.

I have my master/focus change macros set up so that jamba doesnt have to do anything with that, my macros change my focus, and the character becoming the main/focus does a /jamba setmeasmaster all

I see a lot of requests here for making Jamba into unit frames, but I'd hope you can avoid the temptation. Let people use RAID leader add-ons, there are plenty of man hours invested in those. Hopefully you can stay focused on the pieces there aren't other mods for, so there's time to add the features that really don't exist anywhere else.

One big example from another thread today is party inventory management:

Important:
- leader can see "party" bag
- allow leader to dump contents of own bag to party member bags
- allow leader to get contents of party member bag back to own bag
- from the leader, trade items from toon to toon
- from the leader, tell a toon to equip an item

Nice to have:
- class/usability coloring (click party toon icon, color items in bag red if out of class or level)
- hook into PAWN and show if any items in bags represent an upgrade for an equipment slot on a party member (outline upgrades in gold)
- in the upgrade mode, show the overall PAWN score for each toon, so you know which one should get the upgrade

This last item would really reduce time consuming equipment decisions when leveling a mixed team. After configuring PAWN with the stats weights, one will see easily if there are drops that are upgrades.

Thank you, Jafula, for an extraordinarily useful add on.Push to characters only works for the current page. Version 0.5 will have a "push all" ability. I have no intention of doing any sort of unit frame work.

I like your party inventory management ideas; some of which are new to me. I'll see if I can fit some into version 0.5.

When I'm in a fight, I'm usually bashing my DPS button at the rate of about 4 or 5 times per second.

However, I'm noticing that on my main toon, for literally minutes after the fight has finished, i'm seeing messages like this in white, in the main chat box on my main

ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: I can't do that yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
...
and so on, where "ToonName" is the name of one of my slaves.

I unchecked the "forward errors" and "forward warnings" in Jamba-comms, and pushed to all toons, but I'm still seeing these messages (which must use a fair amount of bandwidth - perhaps it explains the times I've had about a 30-second delay when switching master?).

While writing this post, I just realised that I only ever see the name of one of my 4 slaves in the above messages, so maybe it's just a setting on that one toon - can you suggest what I need to check? Is it those Jamba-comms settings I mentioned above?The option is in Jamba-Talk. You need to untick "Forward UI Errors" and "Forward UI Information" in order to stop those messages (as you have done). Make sure all characters have these settings unchecked.

Why are both of these options combined into one configuration checkbox: accept all quests from questgivers and accept all shared quests. Is it possible to separate out this functionality? I have a nice macro to accept the shared quests so I can turn this off, but it would be nice to have it accept shares automatically.

Also, it is very unintuitive to figure out which boxes to uncheck to stop the error/warning spam from all toons in the chat window. I unchecked probably 6 boxes through all the different options panes before getting it to stop. I really have no idea what all those things do. Multiboxer puts those errors in the team frame which is very nice.

Thanks,
-KThe quest functionality is getting an overhaul; I'll see if I can seperate out the accept all from quest givers and the accept from share.

In Jamba-Talk, you need to untick "Forward UI Errors" and "Forward UI Information" to stop the spam. Version 0.5 will have these options off by default and if you do turn them on, you will be able to decide which messages get forwarded.

[Jafula]

Now for the next logical question... due to the changes to group order, is there a way to change Jamba for slaves to always accept invites in a particular order?Well, my guess is that since it was never really an issue before (as the order was predetermined by some strange hudu as I recall), I'm betting that they're just iterated trough in whatever order the team members are in the table.

It seems logical that some kind of sort order / weight / organization could be added and a small config page for managing it would be in the realm of the do-able.I have already added this functionality into 0.5; you can see the up/down buttons in the screenshot below.

Last night I tried aborting a quest, and only my leader aborted it. Anybody else seen this?I've just tried it with 0.4e (the version that DigitialSorceress provided) and the abandon worked for me on my slave toon.



Is there a troubleshooting guide for this? I'm currently using ISXboxer and this addon annoys the crap out of me when I make them /assist my main and use the "interact with target" button. They spam me with "You have no target" and "You cannot follow that unit"

?(Jamba-Talk options - Uncheck "Forward UI Errors" and "Forward UI Information".

[lans83]

i imagine it's been brought up before, but like the /follow strobe function, this nifty addon offers, would it be possible or legal to implement an auto assist function pretty much the same way? like give us the option to turn it on and off like the /follow strobe onme deal? wasn't sure if Blizz would allow this or not. for some reason my /assist focus macro won't select the enemy as fast as it should, but when it targets NPCs like vendors and questgivers right off the bat most of the time. i usually have to mass the /assist macro a few times to get everyone in my team to focus on my main's target both before and in the middle of combat when switching targets after i down one.

I found /assist to be quite slow as well and I ended up using "/cast target=focustarget SpellName" type macros instead. I was running a casting group, not a melee group. However, I think the lag is probably the same either way.

[lans83]

thanks for the quick reply Jafula. I'll change up my macros some and test them that way. see if they're any faster and don't require me to wear a hole in my keyboard from pressing so much.

Hi, I've been away awhile, and certainly haven't read these 57 pages of thread, and, heck, I may even have reported this already, so bear with me if I am being retarded.

Anyhow, I had enchanted some grey gloves with the +Fishing enchant, and noticed the grey auto-seller happily sold it. I know I can list things not to sell, but it was gone before I realized what happened. Just thoguht that if a grey had an enchant that maybe it should be auto-excluded. Not a huge deal, but hey, thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for the great add-on and the recent update, which I'm grabbing *right now* yarrrr!

I get white stuff to enchant; seems risky to enchant grey stuff - what items are available in grey but not in white [eg tradable] ?
(this being said sure, it's a nice addition)

I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful piece of software that makes my life so much easier while playing a video game. Of all the addons I use, yours is the only one I feel I can't live without while playing. When you finally hang up your keyboard on Jamba, I'm gonna kidnap your ass and hold you hostage ala the movie Misery. Break your ankles and all that jazz so you can't escape. "Type you bastid!!! TYPE!!"

Okay, maybe a little harsher than Misery, but the results will be the same. It'll all be for keeping your faithful followers happy.

Hi, another suggestion. From time to time I disable all addons so I can log into alts more quickly. When I re-enable add-ons, Jamba, and few other add-ons have windows reset to the center of the screen. This happens for the 'Jamba Team' window. Other add-ons preserve their window postions, and that is what I'd like Jamba to do.



I'd also like to know how it is done, so I can tell the other addon authors (SmartBuff's, for one) how to fix their code without haveing to tell this story over and over :)



Thanks!

I've been digging through the site, but have yet to find anything that looks like it answers a question I have about jamba-purchase: I just can't seem to get it to work, and I wonder if anyone is actively using it? I want to be able to auto-buy ammo for my team of 5 hunters. On the master, I checked everyone's tag for "all" and pushed that out to the other four. Then I dragged a stack of arrows over to the jamba-purchase screen and it appeared to correctly load into the item name box. I've then tried a few different quantities: 1 (for 1 "stack"), 200 (since the arrows come in stacks of 200), and various numbers in between. After I add the item (using the "all" tag), I then push the change to the other four characters. However, nothing happens when I right-click to start a buying session with an NPC who sells the arrows. I've tried it on all five characters after pushing the changes, and I've tried it just on the master without pushing the changes. Neither way results in anything happening.

Is there someone out there using jamba-purchase who can clue me into what I'm doing wrong? Or is this functionality just not completely working yet?

Thanks!

[Huwa]

Hi,

I really like Jamba it's great.
Maybe a nice feature would be to add a functionality like profiles, like Titanpanel etc use.
I'm one of those ppl that uses many different teams, and loading a profile from an already setup character would be handy.
Another nice feature would be a Team option:
Define Team A - Char1, Char2, Char3, Char4, Char5
Define Team B - Char6, Char7, Char8, Char9, Char10
...
Define Team F - Char1, Char7, Char13, Char20, Char5
I hope you get the idea.
This way mixing would be really easy.
Would be nice if it's an option you could implement.

Hans.

Thanks!I don't have it in front of me but, I think you set the number to the amount you want to maintain. I have my Shaman set to keep 10 Ankhs and my Pally set to keep 100 Symbol of Kings as an example. For your arrows, since they now stack in lots of 1000 keeping that number at say 5000, 5 full stacks, would make your dudes purchase arrows every time you were at a vendor that sold arrows and and they had less then 5000.

Grr, I wish I wasn't at work so I could try this out. Thanks very much for your help, I'm going to set this up right as soon as I get home tonight.

Did you remove the donate button from your website? Or have you never had one? If it's the former you should put it back and if it's the latter you should add one :).

[blast3r]

I come read this thread every so often but haven't read every page (lots of them!). This may have been discussed before and I just missed it. I am getting in the mode to start 10 boxing. I currently use the FTL system which makes it a bit cumbersome to drop toons into groups and such. Would it be possible that an addon could detect the current toon in the active window, make it the main and tell all the other toons to focus on it? I'm actually wondering if there is an easier way to get a redundant team setup without having to do a lot of hotstrings with keyclone and having to restructure all your macros when you change a member of your group/raid. If each toon in the group/raid could know who you are currently controlling a simple /assist focus would be all you would need instead of complex fancy smancy macros. I suppose there is one problem where the main would try to /assist focus as well because the macros is telling it to and there is not a nomod situation.

I would love to be able to just drop and add toons on the fly but not sure if there is a feasible way to do it. I posted this question in the jamba section because well, i figured this is where it should be. :) *wink*

[Caspian]

If you are using focus based macros you can do this with Jamba, but not automatically. There is a Jamba slash command to make yourself master, I think it is /jamaba makememaster . There is also a /jamba setmaster <name>. Then you can set the option "when master changes set focus to master".

Depending on the rest of your setup you could tie in the same hotkey you use to switch to a different toon to change the new master and change your focus. Or you could switch over manually and hit a macro to do it.

I am not at home so I don't have it in front of me so I might not have the names exactly right, though the slash commands might be in this thread somewhere. Once you see that and play with it a bit I think you will be able to do what you want.

Thanks a lot! Maybe this weekend I will play around with it and see if I can get something to work for me.

[Maxion]

While i know you said you use FTL system, I would recommend using a system that lets you have conditionals in your casting macros that lets them work regardless of whether the toon is the master or not.
Not sure how possible that is to do with a FTL system.

Since I use a focus the leader system, and example of how i macro it would be:

/cast [target=focustarget,exists][target=target,exists][] Lightning Bolt

(i realize the abbreviation of "focus the leader" is FTL too, heh, normally just call it a focus system, but anyway, I assume by FTL you mean focusless targetless leaderless system, which is only useful in hardcore arena pvp)

So like the subject says: Issue with WoW windows crashing when I don't take all the toons on a taxi run. So has anyone experience it at all? I think its related with JAMBA but not sure.

[Diablostar]

Hi guys,
I'm havin an issue with Jamba. I'm running 4 toons from one WoW folder on my slave PC. Each toon uses its own config.wtf. I installed jamba in the addon folder and set up a group with my main char on my main pc. The problem is now that jamba doesn't store the settings when i logout with my toons. So when I login again the only charater in the jamba-core is the char itself. But all the other team members are gone.

I'm using ISBOXER with jamba and I have the Jamba-ISBoxer.lua in my saved variable folder. But that's the only one.


So what do I wrong?

Assuming you are running windows vista you need to make sure the permissions on the savedvariables .lua files are set to allow writing.
Either run wow in admin mode (which adds an annoying confirmation box before starting each one),
or set the permissions on the files/folders to allow user/owner/admin to write to them.
(what i do is just set it for the whole wow orwtf folder, so it changes it for everything inside, just remember to do it again after running the game after installing a new addon so its .lua files are there)

Hmm. Well, as you know, I am enamored by the Battered Jungle Hat as of late. I got another one today, and when I went to sell, off it went... which I've been watching for, and I bought it back and went into /jamba-sell to set the exception and Battered Jungle Hat was already there! All of the proper boxes were checked, but the sell exception was being ignored. I re-added the item, and it returned to working properly (``DID NOT SELL <cherished grey item on excetion list>'') The bug was happening after relogging. Not certain what other info would be helpful in tracking this down.

[Drecan]

I've noticed a few bugs with this addon but haven't used the sell stuff part yet due to the fact that I have a 'sell junk' addon on all my toons and I watch what it sold just because I've always been that way. But honestly I think something should be programmed or tried to be (sorry I would attempt to do it myself but not very good with lua stuff lol I'm a VB type of guy) making the 'master' ignore the 'follow after combat' rule cause it sucks having to get it set up on the master to push it to the others and then forgeting to uncheck that and he just randomly trys to follow one of the slaves lol. if it is an option send me a PM saying i'm dumb lol.

I've been using auto follow after combat with no problems.

If your master is trying to follow one of the slaves, then I would assume that your master has a slave set as his master. Go in to your Jamba Team settings and make sure all characters have the same team and follow settings. The master should have itself as its own master so it knows not to follow itself...

Hey,

I havent been able to actually experience DB'ing myself, but I soon will be going to. (Have to finish exams first)
At the moment, I am just researching on what programs to use and which macro's and add-ons.
As for now, I am going to use KeyClone.
I will be DB'ing a Shaman+Hunter.

After searching for the options available to use as add-ons, it seems that the Jamba add-on is the best.
But I have a few questions about this add on:
-------------
*Does this add-on allow your second character (slave) to actually copy the acceptation of quest my main does?
- For example: If I go to an npc with my main, my slave will follow me (cause of /follow macro). Then I will talk to the npc and select a quest. Will my slave automaticly
talk to this npc too and accept the quest? Or do I need to use the share quest option, and then accept it on my slave?
-------------
*Does this add-on allow you to perform the actions needed for an quest on your slave (mirrored from my main)?
-For example: I accepted a quest on both my main and slave, and now I need to plant a banner. If I plant this banner on my main, will my slave automaticlly perform this action as well?
Or how do I need to manage this?
-------------
*Does this add-on allow your character to automaticly repair stuff at an npc?
- For example: I am talking to an npc with my main. I select repair all items. Will my slave automaticly repair his items as well?


I hope you guys can answer my questions, as I am still learning :P
Thanks in advance guys!

No, you first must open the NPC window on both. Then it depends on the quest, but JAMBA does all it can to help. (you can't share quests when the NPC give you an object)

"*Does this add-on allow you to perform the actions needed for an quest on your slave (mirrored from my main)?
-For example: I accepted a quest on both my main and slave, and now I need to plant a banner. If I plant this banner on my main, will my slave automaticlly perform this action as well?

"

Depends on the quest. Some will give credit to every party member ( the good quests, MB wise) and some won't. Jamba can't help here

"*Does this add-on allow your character to automaticly repair stuff at an npc?
- For example: I am talking to an npc with my main. I select repair all items. Will my slave automaticly repair his items as well?"

Again you have to open the NPC window. Jamba has a option to auto-repair.

Hey jafula, are you putting the code and beta on curseforge as you mentioned a while back ? when ?

Looking forward to the new release

A suggestion about the defaults: don't set UI error fwding on by default as it cause tons of lag and spam when you spam a dps key ("the spell is not ready"... x4 sent ... = lag ) - I suspect it may also cause disconnects

Thanks

[Tdog]

First off, simply awesome add-on man. I only installed this last week and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Just makes everything about multiboxing easier.

So far the only issue I've come across is whenever I change focus several times within a few minutes when I go to say complete a quest the followers will not mirror the masters choice selections even though they have the correct toon set to master in the jamba-core section. Nor can I "push" any of the settings to any of the followers either. Every other way Jamba will keep working, vendoring, repairing, auto accepting rezzes and invites, etc... but it just won't mirror the master's choices or allow me to push any settings. Nor do I experience any disconnects, or any of some of the other weird stuff people having been reporting in this thread.

It will however eventually start working again after approximately 2-3 min.s of doing absoultely nothing Jamba related, and when it does start working again it will switch the master to the last master I had focused on, then switch the master back to the toon I currently had it focused on.

So my best guess is that something is getting backed up when I change the master causing Jamba to run really slowly. I doubt it's any of the other addons I have installed as I have disabled everything on all toons except Jamba and it still does the same exact thing for the same amount of time. When I do not switch masters however I never experience this problem, or least not in the last week and a half I've had this installed.

Any help is appreciated :D

Any help is appreciated :DYup; it's Jamba swamping the addon channel with too much information. You can reduce what your toons send to each other. I suggest turning off the Forward UI Errors and Forward UI Information options in the Jamba-Talk options. This should help a lot.

If you have macros that use jamba commands that use tags; you can minimise traffic by duplicating the macro on all the toons and removing the all tag. (Sorry I can't explain this further right now.)

Jamba uses the Ace3 library which in turn uses ChatThrottleLib. ChatThrottleLib is designed to make sure your characters don't get disconnected when sending addon traffic. Hence when Jamba sends too much information over the wire, you see delays and this is ChatThrottleLib managing the addon traffic. ChatThrottleLib will halve its output rate if your toons FPS is below 20. This sucks for most of us as our slave FPS is usually between 5 - 15.

A solution to this is to make sure all your toons have a minimum of 21 FPS. Another solution is to find all instances of ChatThrottleLib.lua in your Interface/Addons folder and change this line (its near the top of the file):

ChatThrottleLib.MIN_FPS = 20 -- Reduce output CPS to half (and don't burst) if FPS drops below this value

Glad you like Jamba and I hope some of what I have said helps!

[Jafula]

eta on next version?I aim to have a beta version of 0.5 out for folks to test at the start of June.Sorry folks; I'm going to have to push this date back to mid June. Silly RL getting in the way again!

Glad you like Jamba and I hope some of what I have said helps!Well I've read through something like 30 pages of this thread last night, my eyes hurt :( , and I've seen you make mention of the /jamba setasmaster all and /jamba setmaster {toon} all commands which I tried which didn't seem to help. However I didn't try the putting the command on the followers so I'll try that again later and see if it helps.

[Tdog]

As far as the fps yea they are usually running at about 10-15 fps on my alts. I was about to go buy a vista 64 so I could use more ram anyways so I suppose I'll just go buy that today and see if it helps.

[davedontmind]

So like the subject says: Issue with WoW windows crashing when I don't take all the toons on a taxi run. So has anyone experience it at all? I think its related with JAMBA but not sure.Same here. Anyone already on a bird crashes to the desktop when the master takes a flight path. If they're not on a bird, you just get the warning about "I cannot figure out where to go" message. You should be able to switch it to solo mode before doing that if you're not all synched up.

/jamba solo

I've been meaning to try that but it's so rare that I do anything to cause the problem that it's not been a priority. :PI was not able to reproduce this on my EU server. Are folks still having problems?I've had the problem a number of times, but I don't think it can possibly be Jamba per se - it's a proper WoW crash (the WoW equivalent of a BSoD or core dump), and addons can't cause that sort of crash.

It usually happens when I have a toon on follow but don't get that toon to open the flight path NPC, so he then attempts to follow (on foot) a toon that takes off on a taxi flight .... crash!

[Jafula]

it's a proper WoW crash (the WoW equivalent of a BSoD or core dump), and addons can't cause that sort of crash.Yes, they can; I've done it a few times while writing Jamba code.

[Bettysue]

I can recreate the crash on EU and US by:
1) disabling all addons
2) loading more than one WoW instance on a single PC (group all chars)
3) having 2 characters follow a "main"
4) take a flight on the main when my ping is less than 100ish (the chars on follow are within interact range of the flightmaster, though no dialog is open)
5) The 2 on the ground now drop to desktop...

Or I can
1) enable only jamba
2) ...same load group follow scenario as above...
3) open dialog with flightmaster on 1 follower but not the other
4) take flight with master
5) master now crashes, no dialog guy stands there looking silly, seconds follower rarely drops but does more often with a higher ping.

I used 2 routers before my cable modem to cause the higher ping for testing...

I don't think jamba is the cause, but it does change the nature of the problem so perhaps it's simply interacting with a bit of code causing trouble in WoW.

[Shannara]

Hello!

I am new to all of this. Unfortunately, I could not get the newest version of Jamba to invite members at all. Followed instructions on the site, it's the only addon installed to. All slaves kept rejecting invites. With all jamba turned off, the slaves will be prompted to be invited. So I know it's Jamba refusing the invites. It doesnt even prompt to allow invites. It just auto-denies. The Jamba-Group addon is setup correctly.

Could this be a broken version of Jamba? If so, is there an older version w/o this bug (if it exists)?

[DPAD171]

Is there a way i can make it so that whenever the Master targets something, the slave also targets it?
If so, that would be a major help.
So please lmk if there is a way to do that with this addon, or just a way in general. (without having to click a button though)

[species6729]

I have move to a 2 box, 1 box running my main and the 2nd box running my 4 slave.

When I use 1 computer to run 5 toon, Jamba will warn me if 1 of my slave broke follow. Since I updated to use 2 computer, I have been loosing follower left and right. Follow after combat work fine. I have toggle to options in the jamba-follow on and off and on again, no change. When I push the new option to the slave, I see the message in the chat window. I know the whisper is being forwarded to my main, becasue I got one of those multibox hater whispering to my slave saying he is going to report me.

I have downloaded the lastest ver of jamba 0.4e to both my computers.

[Xzena]

I just have to say that I love your addon and I appriciate it a lot that you continue updating it. Its by far the best multibox addon I have used so far! Thanks,

Jafula, your here :) how did your moving back go? still doing good i hope?

[niknak]

is HotKey Net requireed to run this? Or is it included?

Also, I'm running on a Mac. Is there any issues there? (Didn't think so as its a WoW addon, but just making sure.)

Thanks.

[Catamer]

I think jamba crashed my alts.

I made a mistake when trying to logon to my bank toon ( a 6th account) and happened to logon to my team leader account while my team was in flight.
once I fixed the problem my team leader had landed at a location prior to the rest of the team.
when I used the flight master to fly to where the team was all 4 of my alternate screens crashed, wow equiv of BSoD.

[Moorea]

Feature suggestion: option to auto accept BG and Arena - tia !

[MiRai]

Feature suggestion: option to auto accept BG and Arena - tia !Preform AV Enabler ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/preform-av-enabler.aspx') should help out in the mean time. Don't think it works with Arenas though.

[Moorea]

I use "join as party" which works fine - I don't want to solo join simultaneously - what I want is accepting the dialogs

[MiRai]

what I want is accepting the dialogs AV Enabler does just that. If all of your party/raid members have the addon enabled and you open up the Preform window just use the 'checkbox' for whichever BG you'd like to join and it will autojoin your members if their BG # all match. If after like 15 seconds their numbers don't match it will auto re-queue everyone and continue to attempt it all over.

[pewshamanper]

one good feature though of this add on is replacing lots of other addons which are big but we need 1 little thing inside them like preform av enabler. I believe that this feature would be small and easy to implement so why not have all the things you need in 1 small memory efficient add ons.
i love this add on btw :love: have my babys

[MiRai]

It would be nice to be implemented into Jamba but I'd still have to have both addons in my WoW folder anyway. Unless Jamba duplicated AV Preform's code and was exactly like it...I'd still have to load AV Preform on my main character so I could do premades with other people because my Jamba edition wouldn't work with other people's AV Preform. Whether Jafula wants to add it in or not is completely up to him. Having to download one extra little hidden addon, that doesn't show itself until you want to play in BGs, does not bother me.

[Starbuck_Jones]

I did a search and it seems its been mentioned twice in this thread, but I would like to see a Jamba-buff option like smart buff. Set the buffs, push to slaves, and buff away.

smartbuff works for me; it's a one time setup and then I bound it to a key (home in my case) and spam that key before combat

Is there a donate via paypal button?

This addon is worth at least the 19.99 I paid for a keyclone license just because of how useful (possibly even essential) it is.

[ElectronDF]

One of many things that would be nice is to have Jamba not spam "So-in-so is not in your group" when it tries to update info. Probably the HP since I put HP as the display bar. I want to group up with an alt or drop a char and not have the chat spammed. Also, it would be nice to have some options to let you use focus as the action instead of just master, maybe even like Multiboxer, let you choose what goes in there. FP, do what focus does. Accept quest, do what focus does, etc since I again would play with an alt that might not always be master. And the biggest thing, but I think you are already working on it, is to accept quests from (focus/master/guild/leader/etc), but not auto from NPCs. That way I can share quests with my alts, but if I talk to an NPC, they don't auto get the next quest if I don't want them to.

And can't be said enough, thank you for the addon and updating it. /bow

[Elnaira]

I seem to have a problem with inviting my group still... They all instantly decline it.

I got all my slaves added with the right main on all chars, yet it's not working. I would appriciate some help :)

edit: a new day and it seems to work now! Thanks for the addon, brilliant piece of work :-)

[chaosultimamage]

I'm sure it's covered somewhere in these 60 pages, but I didn't see it anywhere. This was a thought brought up by a thread from another poster in another section.

For Jamba, do you need to be using one installation of WoW or can you use any number of installations as long as the addon is copied into each ones' addon folder?

I just don't understand how the latter would work. I've downloaded the addon, but haven't gotten around to using it yet, so I haven't had any issues, just wondering about how that worked.

[Maxion]

There is internal communication in the addon between the clients.

[Multibocks]

Can you list the procedure for questing? I notice if I dont open the quest window on slaves and I accept quest on main that jamba will tell me the slaves accepted, but when I check they did not. Also on escort quests with "Auto accept escort quests" checked, if I open window for escort on all slaves and hit accept they will accept the quest, but for some strange reason only the master gets credit. Even the WoW quest pane indicates they are on the quest, but they just wont get credit for it. I solved that by only opening the quest window on the main (for escorts) and it now works fine. I just wish there were a standard such as, "For all quests open quest window dialog with quest giver on main AND slaves so that they accept quest." OR "Only open quest pane on Master for all quests in order that slaves accept it." My2cp.

Escort quests only the master opens the dialog and starts the quest (otherwise it does not work).

Getting quests / handing in quests requires all have the dialog open.

Slaves saying they accepted a quest when they didn't is a bug.

having trouble inviting party members to my guild. Tried checking guild invites. Do you have to be in same city?

[MarkHR]

I'd also like to know about the guild invites. I added the group to friends on each, made sure the jamba options to accept invites were checked and nothing (guild invite message in chat pane but no pop up). After a few failures I logged, disabled addons, invited and accepted then went back to normal addon use.

[Multibocks]

Did you uncheck the auto deny guild invites?


Also another question: Is there a way in game to stop the follow strobe? It seems it shouldnt spam me when my group is flying on a taxi, but damn if it doesnt spam the crap outta me. It would be nice to be able to hit a /jamba stopstrobe macro or something =)

Forgive me if there is an option that I missed =X

You want.

/jamba-follow strobeoff <tag>

I suggest you use the all tag, so the final slash command that you can macro up is

/jamba-follow strobeoff all

All this does is stop Jamba from strobing the follow command. You still have to press a movement key to stop any existing following.

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9506/7deadly.th.jpg ('http://img197.imageshack.us/i/7deadly.jpg/')Yes, Jamba assumes that character names only have one capital letter at the front. Jamba automatically capitialises the first letter and lower cases the rest of the name. So the O in the middle of that character's name is causing Jamba problems. Sorry about that; it is something I need to work on.

[Aldercy]

I just wanted to point out an issue I've found with abandoning quests using Jamba.

I was running CT on my main and had it set to display quest levels next to the quest in the log. I tried to abandon a quest on my main and expected to see it repeated across all slaves, but instead they reported that they did not have the quest (even though they did). This puzzled me as Jamba used to work fine on my setup, but since I updated my addon's this functionality was now broken. After thinking about how Jamba was likely handling this request it hit me that it was probably pulling the quest levels injected by CT along with the quest name, and I was no longer running CT on my slaves. Jamba would then send the quest name to my slaves who of course would not have a quest named [71D] Quest...

So be careful if you’re running any mod that will affect quest names, you must also run the mod on your slaves too. (I don't think it’s reasonable to expect Jamba updated to compensate for this but a note on the site may help prevent confusion)

- Aldercy

[MarkHR]

So the problem was with CT or whichever quest addon you used and not Jamba :D

edit: usefull info, I use one wow folder with keyclone, jamba and questhelper (a few other mods that don't affect the quest log) running 5 wow clones and haven't had any problems (accepting, selecting, abandoning via jamba) other than user created ones, i.e., only one person in the group should accept escort quests.

As a mod author I know that Jamba *could* be changed to tolerate this, however I personally don't think that is necessary. I posted this to be useful and constructive feedback for anyone who may find themselves in the same situation; I know of at least one person who has posted a similar problem that no one could figure out, maybe this was their issue too. Ultimately though this is an inability of Jamba to tolerate a specific class of mods and if you wish to use these mods on one client you will need to run them on all, that's all I was trying to say.

(Jafula: please don't take this rant the wrong way; personaly I don't know where I would be without Jamba and I certainly don't have the time to create a similer mod for my needs, your work is well appreciated *worship*)

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9506/7deadly.th.jpg ('http://img197.imageshack.us/i/7deadly.jpg/')

You're using a completely different character than the one you should be for your toon's name in Jamba. You're toon's name is Gluttöny, in Jamba, you put GluttÖny. Two completely different codes. The code for Ö is Alt+0214 and the code for ö is Alt+0246. Go back into Jamba and change that character in your toon's name or delete that name and retype it using the lowercase ö and not the uppercase Ö. It's not the same as mixing up upper and lowercase o and O. It's like mixing up M and T instead. Change it and you'll see.

I've been hearing that for about a year now. (seriously). :)

But when you say "modular" do you mean each module will be a separate install - or is it going to require XML editing like it is now?

I'll just sit back and wait - and continue hacking up Jamba to remove the extra stuff.Jafulu posted somewhere in this ocean of posts that the next version was modules and submodules for easy (as in checkbox based @ addon screen) removal of mods you dont use.

[chaosultimamage]

Just wanted to stop in. I've started using jamba now, gotta say I love it. Very helpful, very flexible. Thanks for the awesome addon, Jaf, keep up the good work!

I do have a question though. Jamba doesn't show my slaves' health on my main's screen. I have the option checked on all of the characters to show health, and it shows each individual on their own screen.

[ElectronDF]

Just my thoughts. Does it show no health what so ever? That may be until your health changes, it might now show it. Buff and unbuff or something and see if health shows up. Also, I have gotten used to setting settings on my main and then "push(ing) to chars". I am not sure if that is required (if your alts need to have health setting also), but I do it anyway.

The big things I want. The way to stop "CharName is not in your party" or signed on, whatever the message is when I play with alts and Jamba wants to talk to chars that aren't on. And to have a "Accept quests from Main/Focus/Guild/Party" only not every NPC. And to have a way to do stuff based on what you type into a box for actions..."Do what (Main/Focus/Party1/CharName) does". I am pretty sure it only does what main does now. It doesn't have to be all of them, just a box so I could type in what I wanted the alts to use to do. If you want an example, I think Multiboxer v2 does this, that is where I got it from.

Thank you for the addon and your work to support it. /bow

Just wanted to stop in. I've started using jamba now, gotta say I love it. Very helpful, very flexible. Thanks for the awesome addon, Jaf, keep up the good work!

I do have a question though. Jamba doesn't show my slaves' health on my main's screen. I have the option checked on all of the characters to show health, and it shows each individual on their own screen.If they don't show each others health, it may be that they don't know about each other.

Make sure you have set up your group correctly.

[Jafula]

Request: Jamba lite.

I find that i only use the Jamba Taxi and Jamba quest portions of Jamba. I disable everything else in the XML config file.The next version is fully modular.

I've been hearing that for about a year now. (seriously). :)

But when you say "modular" do you mean each module will be a separate install - or is it going to require XML editing like it is now?

I'll just sit back and wait - and continue hacking up Jamba to remove the extra stuff.Like Zanthor says; you can use an addon manager in 0.5 to turn Jamba modules on and off (so back to what you suggested in the early days :) ). And it has been 10 months (first post was early September 08 ).

[Jafula]

The big things I want. The way to stop "CharName is not in your party" or signed on, whatever the message is when I play with alts and Jamba wants to talk to chars that aren't on.
Yup, coming in 0.5. See in the image below (new 0.5 gui) that Yasprie is offline.

And to have a "Accept quests from Main/Focus/Guild/Party" only not every NPC.

Can you explain this some more?

[Jafula]

And to have a way to do stuff based on what you type into a box for actions..."Do what (Main/Focus/Party1/CharName) does". I am pretty sure it only does what main does now. It doesn't have to be all of them, just a box so I could type in what I wanted the alts to use to do. If you want an example, I think Multiboxer v2 does this, that is where I got it from.Can I have a concrete example? I'm not sure what you're asking here!

[chaosultimamage]

If they don't show each others health, it may be that they don't know about each other.

http://wow.jafula.com/addons/1-jamba/15-how-to-configure-your-groupI think I found my problem. I added all the toons manually on each character, I figured it'd help for switching mains and stuff if I didn't wanna have to relog and sign in on a different client and stuff. Oh well, I can live with it.

Thanks again Jaf!

[ElectronDF]

And to have a "Accept quests from Main/Focus/Guild/Party" only not every NPC.

Can you explain this some more?

Right now there is an option to accept quests, but it ends up as accept quest from every NPC and player you ever encounter. I would just like to be able to accept quests from my main or focus or guild or party or a specific char name. Basically I want to share a quest from my main/focus...etc and have the alts accept it. There is an option to turn that on, but it makes it accept quests from NPC, so if I do 3 steps in a chain, the alts auto accept the 4th step even if my main doesn't. Hope that helps.

I might want to level up an char outside of a party. So they don't have a main listed. I use a healer and DPS/tank that is from a group, so I don't want to mess up their main settings. They just follow the char around and help heal/DPS. I take a flightpath, and they just look at me and stare, since there is no main setting. I might get a quest that they have missed, so I share it with them and go out. But they won't do what the char does in the quest NPC box, since there is no main set. I would just like to be able to put in do what main or do what focus or do what leader/party1 or do what specific char name does. That would let me not have to set main settings for people that aren't going to keep that and mess up when I switch chars around. Hpe that helps.

[midnightrain]

I'd also like to vote for a 'share all quests upon acceptance' option whereby the main toon automatically shares new quests as they are accepted. I sometimes run with mixed teams, and it's not always clear who has done what quest. With the quest-related achievements now in the game, I'm also going back to pick up gray quests, with mixed participation among my alts.

I love the inventory management ideas mentioned a couple pages ago. In it's simplest form, auto-trading junk, potions, and cooking items to alts who have room would be a really nice time saver. A more advanced version might trade all cloth to a particular alt, all gems to the enchanting alt etc but programming that is probably more trouble than it's worth.

edit: update - looks like Tynk linked to some quest sharing code in this thread: Slave quest ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=163272')

Hey,

first i would like to congratulate you on that gg addon. But i have some issue and i can't get it to work. The current patch on it is 3.0.9, knowing that i tried different version of jamba it gives me that error which is send to everyplayer in the group that i selected:

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7767/sanstitrehws.jpg

I would really like to play with a group of 5. I know that talking about private server is not allowed here, but i assure you thats it's only me and it's not public. (GURB, If you know its not allowed here then why do you talk about it? Lookin for a ban?)

Anyway i used the version 0.4b to 0.4e and all of them gives the same errors. (knowing that 0.4b was around the patch 3.0.9, so it should work)


Thanks for reading if it doesn't get deleted =)
Have a good day!

Hello!

I am new to all of this. Unfortunately, I could not get the newest version of Jamba to invite members at all. Followed instructions on the site, it's the only addon installed to. All slaves kept rejecting invites. With all jamba turned off, the slaves will be prompted to be invited. So I know it's Jamba refusing the invites. It doesnt even prompt to allow invites. It just auto-denies. The Jamba-Group addon is setup correctly.

Could this be a broken version of Jamba? If so, is there an older version w/o this bug (if it exists)?There was a bug like this and it has been fixed. Make sure you are using the latest version 0.4e from the website: http://wow.jafula.com/

Hmm, you must mean the future version 0.4f since 0.4e contains this bug :(

The only way to invite is unclick everything in Jamba-Group and click on the invite pop-up on each toon. Otherwise the alts auto-deny party invite

[moosejaw]

Make sure you aren't using another addon that deny's party invites, such as "Automaton". I am using version E and my invites work perfectly with multiple groups, and my group members are not on each others friends list either.

[Jafula]

Can you try installing Jamba-0.4f and see if that helps. You can make sure you have 0.4f installed by typing

/jamba version

Let me know how you get on.

Should he delete the saved variable file also, to be sure?

d/l'ed and installed 4f last night but WoW was down, I will delete the file before I start playing tonight

which file am I looking for and where?

[Deumus]

Do you plan to include an life/mana(/castbar) tracker like XP/Life track already exists?

And do you have an ETA for the 0.5? It seems to be very cool ;)

[Lowcorn]

knowing how ignorant this is gona show i am but i have to ask. In my experence anything that is Automatic/automated is violating TOA. I read the first 10 or so pages and diden't see anyone bring it up. I just wana point out that i think this is the single coolest freeking mod iv ever seen lol and i <3 you for makeing it

[blast3r]

Still loving the hell out of Jamba!

I'm not sure if this was suggested before but to me would be VERY useful. At times my bags will fill up on one of my alts and I pick up a quest that has an item. I hit the accept button on the main and run off not even knowing one of my alts didn't get the quest. Then end up having to do the quest again. It would be awesome if Jamba can detect this and let your main window know. Just a suggestion.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

[Jafula]

Is there any way to make changing team leaders a bit smoother?

IE: My main team.
ToonA
ToonB
ToonC
ToonD
ToonE

It is quite often I swap A for ToonF, so I have to add ToonF's name to all the alts, and resync everything with the "push to alts" button. Then when I switch back to ToonA, I have to do it all over again.

I run 1 - 5 toons all the time, my team makeup and size is constantly changing.

Thoughts? :)Jamba 0.5 can handle offline characters in the same team without you having to change anything. So you could have one massive team with all your toons in it and Jamba will ignore the offline ones.

Will that work for you?

(Jamba 0.5 is also going to have profile support.)

0.5 Team window - see that Yasprie is offline.

I've been able to spend more time on Jamba recently, but I can't say when it will be ready.

Hey Jafula,

First time using Jamba and I am pleased so far. Love you for this mod! One thing, though, well, maybe two. But they're both with the Jamba Team panel.

First, any way to get it smaller? I have several toons with max-length names and trying to get is sized down to something reasonable {for me...I *hate* clutter} ends up cutting off part of the name {fine...unless the names start the same} and the % {annoying}. If I could size down the bars {height, too?} and the text even more, I'd be very happy. Second, I would really, really love to see levels on the Team panel. If there were an option to replace the %'s with current level, that would so rock.

Gods, I hate asking for things, it always feels like I'm telling someone something they did isn't good enough. :(

[Endless]

On the subject of group bugs, my wife is having problems with group invinting. The master will invite the alt, who will join and immediately leave the group. So far the only fix we have found is to disable everything in the jamba-group panel, then manually invite. Even with everything disabled in jamba group, the alt auto accepts, which shouldn't be the case. She's using v0.4f.

Delete all the Jamba.lua files in WTF/SavedVariables and reconfigure Jamba. Make sure you do this on all WoW installs (and check each account/character).

If you are still having trouble, make sure you are not running other addons that attempt to do the same functionality.

Now I see this turning into a full Jamba module. Male/Female, Milk/beer, Cookie/chips/burger, one time/auto-send/daily/weekend and then the maintenance costs. No slave costs nothing, but might be cheaper then a spouse

[Jezebel]

testing out CCing with the Jamba-Target feature and it works great except for one problem. how do you clear market targets out of the list target? the clear target hotkey clears your current target, it doesnt remove that marked targets from the list. even after you kill the mob, the existing marked target/icon doesnt dissapear and it wont let me mark new targets with the same icons while there is an existing target marked?

its probably something really obvious im missing, or im sure this would have been commented on before :D

http://wow.jafula.com/addons/1-jamba/18-jamba-target

Removing a target from the list.
If you mark a target and fail to kill the target or target the wrong mob, you can remove the target from the list, by selecting any target, pressing and holding the Mark Target (Press & Hold) key, and right-clicking on the raid icon already assigned to the wrong target.


However, you should be able to target a new mob with the same icon... so might be a bug there. Try the right click to deselect for a start and see if that helps. Let me know if you still can't re-mark with an existing marked icon.
