Party Order Randomness

[Ghallo]

Ok, maybe I am behind the times on this (did a search, didn't find anything) but anyone else notice that invite order now determines party#? I used to ALWAYS have the same party order... not that I loved it, but it was the same every time. Now when I have Jamba send out invites ... I don't know who will be where. So... how do I get Jamba to do the invite so I get to keep the order? As it is, even a macro causes this to be random ... because it depends on when the invited toon accepts.

As it is, I invite my toons one at a time to make sure my macros and keyboard layout will work :P

Yes, party order is now by order that they join the group.

It used to be the order in which the accounts were made.
Now its the order in which the toons are invited.

Of course everyone is F1 on their own screen.
And F2 is the first party member.
So F1 and F2 will vary by which toon you're on.

Don't you mean F2 is party leader?

[Ualaa]

That's the problem with targeting via Fkeys.

F1 is your own toon, but F2 is the party leader for others and your first party member for the leader.

Make jamba not autoaccept invites on slaves. Clicks on the accept group invite button manually on each slave in the order you want --> problem solved.

In my case I do this way exactly, and I do it only for aesthetic reasons... it works and I'm happy. Perhaps not an elegant solution, but you have to do it only once at logon, so it's not a big deal.

You do know that the new Jamba is set up to delay invites by 100ms or something so that as long as they're in the order you want them in the Jamba-Team master list, they'll be invited in the order you want 'em?

Neat, was not aware of this new Jamba feature.

With IS Boxer clicked repeater regions for heals.
Or sometimes assisting the mob...
The party order doesn't matter so much for me.
GridCustomLayouts gets an alphabetical order on every screen.
Still a very nice feature to have.

Didn't know neither. Thanks for the tip.
