Quest Reward Management

[ThisIsDrakul]

I have plagurised a lot of code from Jamaba (and Multiboxer) and have assembled my own very personalised addon

In case it helps anyone else, I thought I would share where I got to in trying to optimise Quest Reward Management. (It might prompt Jamba author to implement, as I suspect it would be quite easy for him)

I raf'ed loads of alts and am now trying to level various groups 60-70 and 70-80. I am 2/5 through 70-80 groups and I have 1 more group needing 60-70. This is only relevant because my groups fall into the following types -:
Groups where
All 5 are the same class
I have 1 of one class and 4 of the same class
I have a mixed group, although this usually has 3 of one class

I have implemented the following 'schemes'
Mirror Team Leader
Straight-forward, Team leader sends message to all team members and they accept the same reward

Mirror Class
Any member that manually accepts a reward, publishes their choice. Receiving members accept the same reward if they are the same class as the publisher

Mirror ItemTypes (Only covers Armor at the moment)
This is potentially a bit fiddly, I have set a default sub-type (cloth,plate,mail,leather) for each class and then
Any member that manuualy accepts a reward, publishes their choice, Receiving members accept the same reward if the sub-type of the reward matches the default sub-type for their class if the reward is armor.

My objective with the above was to reduce the number of clicks I have to make on alts screens. At the moment I am levelling 4 shammys and a priest to 80 and it works very well with the mirror class scheme (I select Priest and 1 shammy

Might be interesting to someone!!!!

Apologies for wasting your time if this is already perfect in Jamba......(I havent actually used Jamba, just stole the code :P )

I'd personally recommend you get permission from an addon author before using their code.
It is fair to view their code to see how something was done.
But you should do it yourself, rather then steal their work, unless you have their permission.

Jamba does the mirror options quite well.
I suppose Jamba is not distributed as separate packages, so you might only want the quest selection section.
I'd talk to Jafula, he/she's a regular on these boards.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I have changed Jafula's code significantly. Also I am not distributing my efforts.

I was actually trying to give something back for having been able to utilise his excellent approaches and solutions. If this hasn't come across properly then I apologise

If Jamba does the mirror class scheme then great.....as I said I apologise for wasting people's time.

I run 2 groups, each with 4 different classes at the moment so I can understand your need for choosing quest rewards. But for me this really depends on the rewards of the quest. Sometimes the rewards are just useless for everyone and in that case I would like to do only 1 click instead of picking all of them manually. While for other quests I'd pick one manually for all characters. So for that matter I don't mind taking a bit longer choosing out quest rewards.

You should look through this thread a bit:

It is about the new quest option screen for the next Jamba version.

You can borrow my code and I'll borrow your ideas! Deal? :P The code is rewritten for 0.5 anyway...

IMHO: The more addons that help the mb community the better off we all are.
