[Addon] Jamba 0.6a-preview #2 available for test run...

I've been working hard the last few days and have made a heap of changes to Jamba. I'd love for some of you to install it and try it out and send me some feedback.

Jamba 0.7 has been released now...

To speed up Jamba's communications (pushing settings, quest watcher) up considerable, please put all your toons into the same group/raid.

Changes:

Core: Communications

• No more changing team online channels for Jamba! Option added to Core: Communications that when checked will make Jamba assume all toons are always online (on by default).
• Performance improvements for Jamba addon channel commands and messages. Make sure your toons are all in a party / raid and pushing settings, etc, will be much faster.
• Added an option to tweak ChatThrottleLib settings to allow for faster addon traffic. Option is in Core: Communications and is called "Boost Jamba to Jamba Communications". The main change is to reduce FPS to 10 before the CTL cuts the traffic in half. This is on be default and may cause disconnections. If it does, please let me know.

Quest: Watcher

• Massive performance improvement when completing quests. Should no longer get any lag.
• Quest heading now shows (X/Y) where X is the number of toons that have the quest (watching it) and Y is the total number of toons in your team.
• Can now click through to the background when over the quest watcher area.
• Quest Watcher now needs to be unlocked (an option) before it can be moved with alt + left drag.
• Added option to hide Blizzard's Quest Watch Frame when Jamba's is enabled.
• Can now click on quest objectives to toggle the display of toons progress underneath.
• Added option to show completed quests as 'DONE" rather than '10/10'.
• Added option to _not_ hide completed objectives.
• Quest Watcher heading now always visible (even if not watching any quests).
• Added option to hide quests that are completed by all toons in the team.
• Jamba Quest Watcher Is now in its own module so it can be disabled by those that do not use it.

Toon: Warnings (PVP)

• AFK warning removed and replaced with InActive buff warning (you can actually turn this one off). Can some please test this works - I don't PVP.

Core: Settings

• Settings are no longer tied to the Blizzard Addon area and are now in their own window. The window can be shifted around, and is a lot larger than the previous area. Each Jamba module now has its own help section (which still needs to be populated with helpful information, but at least has the slash commands for each module listed).

Follow

• New slash command: /jamba-follow train <tag> Type "/jamba-follow train all" to have your toons follow one after the other. The follow order is decided by the order your toons are in the Core: Team list.

Tag

• /jamba-tag add and /jamba-tag remove slash commands have been changed. They are now:
  
  • /jamba-tag add <name|existing-tag> <tag>
  • /jamba-tag remove <name|existing-tag> <tag>
  
  

• Class based tags are now automatically applied to a toon. These tags cannot be removed or the tag added to a toon that is not that class.

Proc

• Window location for the proc header bar now gets pushed with the other settings.

Cheers,
Jafula

w00t! Can't wait to test out the quest watcher changes. Good stuff! =)

ya looks great i will test

And there was much rejoicing.... over the quest watcher changes. Bye bye quest helper (again).
Thanks for the proc header location fix. I thought I was crazy.

Btw the follow chain should be very interesting with a group of female space cows. :)

Jafula has to be commended. Multiboxers have come and gone. For whatever reason. Jafula has created AND steadily improved part of the backbone of our boxing.

So far so good on this update. No issues so far. Team updates are faster than fast. Amazing improvement in communication. The instant I release the mouse the update is applied on the slaves.

Three thumbs up!

Jafula, did this macro:

/jamba-team iammaster all

change at all in 0.6a?

I am having some weird behavior with the slave I switch to automatically becoming my master. It appears that the 1st time I switch to a slave, the become the master (however the Team listing stays hidden even though it is set to show) but when I switch back to my Main, they do NOT become the master... like it only semi-works the first time.

I've not been multiboxing long but have come to need your mod as its so useful. Tested this version out today and its great, it may seem trivial but I was most looking forward to the hide blizzard quest tracker option which works great btw! The performance improvement is really noticible also with my 5 character team, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the update:)

So far so good, though no realid whisper forwarding working yet, so I'm guessing you did not get that done yet?

Will keep sending you realid whispers whenever I see you online hoping that you reply someday and in case it might help you test it Jafula. :)

Mmmm, follow chain. I toyed with the idea of making the /train sound play when you executed the command, but thought better of it.

Where did you get your third thumb from? A third thumb would be mighty useful (like a gripping hand, ala The Mote in God's Eye, by Niven and Pournelle).

Nope, nothing has changed with that macro or any of the master switching stuff. I did a /reload and typed that command on a slave and everything worked. Still having trouble?
