Jamba, the Dual-Boxing addon you wish you always had

[Ellay]

Jamba, made by Jafula is quite possibly the most awesome Addon ever made for the community.

http://wow.jafula.com/addons/jamba This addon is Free :)

It's pretty much an all in one package, and a diamond in the rough. I use it exclusively now as far as addons go.
A quick snippet of the functionality it has.


Team
Add all your characters into Jamba and designate a character as the master character. Commands available to switch master characters on the fly; change master based on the characters current Focus. Display health or experience bars of Jamba team members even when they are not in the same party. Party
Create a complete party from among all your characters with just a few clicks. Automatically set loot methods when creating a party – free for all, master looter for master and opt out of loot for slaves. Automatically promote the Jamba master character to be the party leader. Quests
Quest selection, accepting, abandoning, completion and watching on one character are mirrored by your other characters. Automatically accept quests and escort quests. Automatically complete quests with no choice of rewards. Follow
Displays follow status (following / not following) on a small screen. Option to automatically follow after combat. Ability to warn master character in a variety of ways if a slave stops following. Commands available to strobe the follow command every second (great for boxing melee characters where combat breaks follow). Talk
Whispers to slave characters can be forward to the master character as well as master replies. Can direct replies from slaves to a particular character from the master character (/w myslave @myslavetarget hello there). Can forward guild chat from one character to another. UI Errors and UI Information from slave characters can be forward to master character. Taxi
Slave characters automatically take the same flight as the master character. Merchant
Automatically sell grey items and sell other specified items. Automatically purchase items from merchants. Automatically repair at a merchant (optionally using guild funds). Character
Automatically deny duels, deny guild invitations, and accept resurrection requests. Warn the master character when health and mana fall below a certain percentage. Target
Provides a targeting system, using raid icons (moon, skull, cross, etc) allow mobs to be marked and their health to be watched. Marking a mob creates a /targetexact mobname macro on each character; allowing for quick target change using keypresses. Macros can be edited to crowd control. Misc
Configure Jamba options for all characters from just one character. Messages to master character can be sent to various places (guild, guild officer, private channel, default chat, etc). Links

My hats off to Jafula, a very valuable member to our community.

Gonna try it out, wasn't sure if it was still in the testing phase or what. Seems like a dream come true :thumbsup: .

[Kayley]

So it's like Twoboxtoolkit with more options? neat. I'll have a look at it once the servers come up :P

[Ellay]

Ya I've been using it for months now, it's pretty top notch.

[Feider]

I've been using it since I started out. It's fantastic. I can't imagine boxing without it.


Truthfully I have not even tried out the targeting functions because I was a little overwhelmed but I need to take another look.

THANK YOU Jafula!!

I was reading the forums and saw it mentioned by someone who was giving advice to a new multi-boxer. I decided to check it out and haven't been without it since. It removes a lot of the hassle from xboxing and leaves the fun ;) It's a great, must-have, add-on.

[blast3r]

I adore this addone. I use it on all my teams. Since I picked my rogues back up I started using the auto follow and boy it helps.

[Jafula]

I must say that Jamba is heavily influenced by the initial multiboxing addons written by various other community members (twobox and multiboxer) and the community here has been very helpful with bug reports and feature suggestions. Thanks to you all.

[Siaea]

I started out with Multiboxer v2 but I definitely prefer Jamba, very nice addon.

[an0mali]

Ive been using Jamba for a few months and like it quite a bit =D

[Ferrea]

I probably would not box without this addon, it makes life so much easier. Saves you a half dozen macros as minimum.

To answer a few questions for new Jamba users, to use the same flight point or accept/return a quest, the slave must have the same NPC screen open as your main. Then use your main to select the option (fp, accept quest etc.,)

[Greythan]

I can second Ferrea's comment.

Without Innerspace and Jamba, I don't know that I'd multibox. They're indespensable to me.

[Seldum]

I absolutely love this addon. I even use it when I solo (because of the autosell and block of invites etc).

I don't know what I would do without it! Yir! 8|

[wolpak]

How all-in-one do you want/plan to make this? It is great, but if you are looking to add more features, what are they?

[Moorea]

Yes Jamba is awesome - I'm suprised that anyone who frequent these forums would discover it only now but I guess there is always a tail end to adoption...

And... Remember to donate ! :-)

[Tonuss]

I used it after I started playing again in December, and it definitely made multiboxing a LOT more fun, by getting rid of (or severely reducing) many of the small aggravating parts of multiboxing. A few of the features by themselves would make it an awesome add-on, as a package it's indispensable.

[Agim]

I use this addon for few months and it's just great. It has so many useful features in one package. :thumbsup:

I got just one cosmetic problem with it. When I create new team list, it seems characters are sorted randomly in the Jamba Team Display. I've tryed many ways how to add them, since I would like to have them sorted some way. Main first, then Acc2, Acc3, .... But no luck. My main is usually the third and the rest randomly above or under, it's not alphabetically even. In the standard WoW group UI are my characters sorted well, since I've created them in reverse order (account 5 first.., then account 4, 3, 2 and 1 last). Any help how to sort it?

[rnm632]

How did I ever live without this?! It's like when Dorothy gets to Oz and finally sees everythings in color!



Now if it could go to the fridge and get me a beer I'd be set for life =P

Any help how to sort it?I'm working on this for the 0.5 release. Basically you will be able to set an order for your team. You can see screenshots of progress (slow...) in the main Jamba thread (you'll have to search).

Currently it's "Sorta Modular" so any parts you dont want you can simply delete. In .5 it's been announced that its going to a fully modular format so you can just disable the mods you dont want to use, etc.

I can tell you that if you have a feature thats not in Jamba, ask for it, this is how Jamba got the auto-follow strobe feature added. Jamba replaced ALL my multi boxing utilities with a single package.

Nice. Great news, thank you for fast reply.

[ElectronDF]

The link to the Jamba website at in the first post has a space at the end so it doesn't take me there. If you take out the space, it works. Just trying to help.

Thanks ! it's fixed now

[Gomotron]

Seems broken with 3.1 ;(
My group autodenies group invites now, and nothing I change can reverse that. I am going to try removing the Jamba-Group portion and see if that helps.

Anyone else having that problem?

I guess all do, just try very fast spam invite button and it works :)

[diggla]

i coded a small workaround for the Auto-Decline group invitations

add the following to the file "World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Jamba\Modules\JambaGroup .lua" at line 29

StaticPopupDialogs["PARTY_INVITE"].OnHide = function(self) self:Hide(); end

so that the file looks like:

function JambaGroup:Initialize( dbOptions )
StaticPopupDialogs["PARTY_INVITE"].OnHide = function(self) self:Hide(); end
-- Initialise utility functions and constants.
self.utils = LibStub( "JambaUtils-1.0" )

--- snip -------

autoaccepting invites works again then.

Anyone else having that problem?I've found I can switch the offending auto-deny-ers to "Enter Solo Mode", toss the invites and accept them using the general accept quest/party/etc macro. Once you do that, just switch them back to "Party Mode" by enabling all the members of your party.

tried this addon out....I like it...but I did notice a few things I would like to see added to it but forgot to write that down. Will get back to this post once i figure out what I wanted. I do remember it was rather simple and intuitive to the addon.
Ooo and while I am thinking about it...could you make an addition to Jamba for some of the commands...like auto invite group or push to characters...make this an addition to WOW UI keybinding group. So you could assign a key press instead of opening Jamba up and actually pushing the button.

will post other things as I see them..
thx

thxYou can use the slash command

/jamba-group invite

to invite your group. You can put this in a macro and drag it to your action bar.

But yes, a dedicated key binding for some stuff would be nice.
