Blizzard provides the /assist command. They also provide an option to "Attack on assist". If this is something Blizzard does not like, they will remove it.
Also, give the ability to use target=focustarget on spells/abilities without the need for an additional keypress makes me think blizzard won't mind this. If they do, then they'll limit it.
To be honest, I have no idea. I'm not Blizzard. I'm just using the tools they have provided and I'm playing by their rules. Their definition of automation seems to be "multiple actions on a single hardware event". There is no way an addon for world of warcraft can do this type of automation.Quote:

As for targeting that Jamba-Target does, there is nothing to stop you writing /targetexact mobname macros on each of your toons. Sure, it would take a while, but for heavy boss fights, you might want to do that. All I'm adding is a quick way of doing that. And it is flawed in that, it does not work for multiple targets with the same name - which is Blizzards intention.
Jamba-Target still requires a key press to change targets; kind of like pressing tab, but with better results.
As for the standard group argument; what about all the other things that multiboxers do that are not "standard": slaves follow masters, all fire lightning bolt at once, all target from a master toon. All of that can be classed as "automation" as well (as many others complain about on the wow forums).
I really cannot dispell your fears for you. If Blizzard change the rules, I'll adapt accordingly. Until then, let's have fun!
Edit: spelling.

For a work around to your problem before 0.3 gets released.
Jafula-
I am having an odd problem that I can't seem to replicate on demand.
I invite my group together. Each time, I have to set the tags on the 3 clone toons to "all". Once I do, the jamba-follow feature should take over. I use the strobeonme all. The problem comes up when I tell them "jamba-follow strobeoff". They keep following. Then, at some point, it will pick up and work like it should, but I'm damned if I can figure out what the "xfactor" is that triggers it. Right now I have all 4 toons in an inn, and I can NOT get them to quit following the master toon. I currently have a macro on the master for strobeon, strobeoff, and strobeonlast. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas?
Okay, well EDIT 1, I switched to one of the clone toons, and moved it out of the inn and back in. While it was in the main window, I broke follow the other 2 as well, switched back to the master, and they aren't following. I restart the strobe, and again I can't shut it off from a command in the master window. If I break follow on the 3 clones and then move the master, they won't follow again until I turn strobe back on. If I tell them to sit and drink, then issue the strobeoff command, they will get up and follow, but if I do strobeoff first, then sit, they won't follow. Is this working right?
They will keep following if you issue a strobe off command. You have to stop them following by using a movement key as well. Strobe off should just stop the resending of the follow command.Quote:

should turn strobing off for all your toons. I'll have a play with follow strobing tonight if I can and see if I can reproduce your issues.
[quote='sedory',index.php?page=Thread&postID=130756 #post130756]Also, there was an option about setting the focus on master change, but it never automatically set the focus (I just run as focus = leader) or even automatically followed no matter the commands I used.. Am I understanding this wrong? I'm sorry, I just haven't found decent examples and the thread is extremely large at the moment. I'll prolly read through all of it later at work today. [/quote]This [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=125677#post125677']post explains it[/url] . Jamba cannot automatically set focus for you, you need to press a key. A better way is for Jamba to watch for when the focus changes and then set the master accordingly. Please post again or send me a PM if you need more explaination. There are some examples in this thread (I think). I'll write some documentation up soon...
TYVM for the link, that works for me and explained quite a bit. I'll toy with it when I get home tonight.Quote:

Would also be cool to be able to relay Guild chat to a chat channel, based on tags. Especially helpful when i'm using my main as a slave and people in my raiding guild think I'm ignoring them =D
You hit it on the head, Jafula. Hitting a movement key of some sort breaks the follow every time, and that's what I wasn't doing. Because of that it seemed like the other 2 were buggy, but I'm all good now, thank you.Quote:

[quote='sedory',index.php?page=Thread&postID=130756 #post130756]the auto-follow-post-combat bug for a bit as well. I'm only 2 boxing but it seems like the mod was getting confused on who the master was.. I was getting the master trying to occasionally auto-follw the slave post combat,[/quote]I had that issue and eventually found a fix for me. Generally when using a Duo I like them equally interchangeable for pick-up quests and whatnot. Here is the macro I use for switching:
[size=10][color=navy][font='Arial']/jamba setmeasmaster all[/font][/color][/size]
/clearfocus
/focus player
/jamba-follow master all
second macro (set to the same button as the above macro on the other account)
/clearfocus
/focus OTHERTOONSNAME
/jamba-follow master all
So on account 1 map the first macro to lets say F5 and the second macro to F6. Then on the other account put the first in F6 and the second to F5. Voila, you can alt-tab accounts, hit one button and its a full control, focus and follow switch. Probably a backwards way of doing it, but it seems to work for me. You can set all of your attacks to something like:
/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast Fireball
Jafula, thanks for the great addon. The Jamba-quest stuff is not working for me but everything else seems to work better than other options I have tried.

In this screen here
[url='http://wow.jafula.com/images/stories/jamba/Jamba-Core-0.1.jpg']http://wow.jafula.com/images/stories...a-Core-0.1.jpg[/url]
you need to make sure that all the members are ticked on your master and your slaves. This is an old screenshot, now this list is under the team tag, but you get the idea. If the checkboxes are all ticked, then the slaves will obey the master.
So check all these boxes on your main, push to characters, and then try the quest stuff again. Let me know if that solves your problem.
Sorry Jaf but this wasnt quite the problem i hadQuote:

the problem was that even after switching the focus using my focus macro i have bound to F8 to F12
which consists of:
/focus {name}
/jamba setmemaster all
and some graphic settings
that the autofollow after combat got screwed up and it doesnt autofollow the new jamba master neither the new focus char.
instead it autofollows the FIRST char to have been jamba master at log in
even though it changed master in jamba, (i clearly see in the jamba settings on all accounts that the master got changed)
even though focus is set correctly on each char.
hope you see where im going, if you want more information on how to reproduce this let me know !
and i just like to repeat myself and everyone else
Awesome addon ! ;) keep it up, and did i miss it or have you not added a paypal link yet ? :D
Is there a command line for Set Master as Target I can add to a macro? Prior to Jamba I had a macro that I would hit after every combat to do 2 things: reset follow to my master and set my master as the slaves' target. I don't use targettarget or focus as I'm one of those that wants my slaves to target a current mob while I may have my master (Paladin) targeting other mobs for aggro management. So, my DPS macros are all
Of this variety. If there is another way to have my slaves all retarget my master after combat has ended (i.e., automated method) that's even better.Code:#showtooltip frostbolt
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] frostbolt
/stopmacro [exists,harm,nodead]
/assist party1
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] frostbolt
Thanks.
I am trying to make my toons auto buy reagents. But i couldnt manage it. I added the item and quantity. But still when i open the vendor nothing happens.
I think its working, I just made some mis-assumptions about what exactly it did. tyQuote:

I read that you're working on a Nightfall proc alert. I was curious if there would be a way to expand that to include other procs and/or abilities. Just being able to flag certain icons to show up super-big on alts would be useful, I would think, especially with changes coming up in 3.0.2. If you could flag, say, Eclipse, Nightfall and Missile Barrage procs to be 5-10x bigger icons that would be swell. Maybe a super-big casting bar as well?
I forgot to reply back about my previous post. Thanks for the fix with the Text.
Everything seems to be working pretty damn good.
Indeed, would not be too hard. I've added it to the (long) list!Quote:

Ramble away! Don't be sorry, I love rambling myself :D. My better half is too polite to tell me to shut up, poor thing! (See, that's a good ramble.) What you are asking for cannot be done by an addon (AFAIK). You'll need to investigate mouse broadcasting programs (like hotkeynet or octopus). There are plenty of posts on this topic. I still manually click all 5 quest givers!Quote:

Did you add a tag to your items? Both your characters and the item have to have the same tag. Please reply back if that doesn't make sense and I'll explain some more.Quote:

Ok, there is no way to do the automated targeting to the master, you need to press a key. Jamba sets up a macro likeQuote:
Originally Posted by 'Greythan',index.php?page=Thread&postID=131131#pos t131131
/target master
where master changes to the name of the master character (when the master changes). You can access this macro by binding a key to it. If you look in the keybinds for Jamba you will see a binding for a "Set Master As Target" key. You can bind a key to that on all of your characters to have them target the master. BUT for this to work, you also have to check the option in the /jamba Team tab called "Set Target To Master When Changing Master". Now you have a key that will target the master when you press it.
Please note that if you change masters in combat, Jamba cannot update the target master macro to the new master. But it works great if you have one dedicated master that does not change very often.
Does that answer your question?
Thank you for the feedback. I was hoping my fix would work. Yay!Quote:

Yes, the plan is for cooldowns from all your characters to be channelled somewhere (to the master) and displayed in certain ways. Nothing definite yet, but my 3 minute mage is a 10 hour mage and that sucks, so its a driving force for me to implement the system (including procs). If you have any more ideas on how you would like this to be done, please post here.Quote:

I've thought about the Jamba release frequency and I need to be consistent. So I am changing my release plans. Basically I'm going to work on 1 feature and bug fixes for a week. Then I'm going to release on the weekend.
This way, I get feedback quicker, it's more discipline and motivation for me to make this thing happen. So some weeks might only be bug fixes, but hopefully I'll be able to add features in as well.
I'll update the version number as I see fit and I'll list the changes I make each version, so you can decide when the correct time for you to upgrade Jamba is.
I hope you all appreciate this will mean a quicker turn-around and a better addon for us all. So please feedback bugs, etc as you notice them as I personally do not use all the features in Jamba and when I do play Wow, I want to level my team to 70 (er, 80 at my rate) rather than test everything. :)
Well since this is a multi-boxing mod (and an awesome one: you rule) I think that most folks will have their non-main windows visible, but not immediately in front of them. So something like making the proc icon really big, or making the screen pulse red/blue/green/whatever when you have a proc, something that you can see out of the corner of your eye I think would work really well. While sending the info to the main would be nice as well I think something on the alt screen would work too (and might be easier to implement?).Quote:

Getting the screen to pulse when you have a Missile Barrage proc would allow a multi-boxer to run an Arcane mage, which would be nice. Well... would allow more of us less-observant multi-boxers to run an Arcane mage, I suppose... ;)
I'm only 3 boxing, but since I play on a laptop with relatively small screen, I've got them all maximized and only see the current leader's screen. So anything that send info to the main in a small compact format would be money for me. :thumbsup:Quote:

I like the idea of moving to a relatively scheduled update plan, and I agree it'll be motivational (at least for a while, eventually you'll be dragging yourself to the coding).
One thing to always let us know when you do update, whether we need to dump old files before installing and which ones.
I haven't made the move to 0.2b yet for that reason.
Love the Jamba though, boom de yada.
Just delete the old Jamba folder and install the new one. I *should* be keeping your settings from one version to the next from now on.Quote:

dont know if its been brought up.
on my druid when i change forms to cat or bear, i get the warnings that my mana is low (though the bars have now changed to rage or energy bars). how do i stop this from happening apart from simply turning that feature off?
Jafula,
This may have been mentioned on one of the other pages, but I wasn't about to read through all the posts. Any chance of getting this put up on the curse website, so it can be updated automatically through that client, that way we don't have to keep coming back to the website to check for updates all the time?
I don't want Jamba on curse (or any other website for that matter) while it is in development (beta). Right now, I would like the audience for Jamba, just to be the people that read dual-boxing forum (and their friends). Sorry, but you are going to have to keep coming back to the website to check for updates.Quote:

No one has mentioned that before. I'll have a look for you and see if I can detect what stance you are in and suppress the message accordingly.Quote:

Are they adding a feature in WOTLK, where you see your mana bar in cat or bear form? Can't remember....
Yes, this happens to me as well. It seems that the addon is just checking for UnitMana() and not checking what power type the mana is (energy, rage, runic power). When a druid shifts into form, he starts out with mana usually, and then the mana bar drops to zero as it changes to an energy/rage bar.Quote:

I want to start by saying a big thank you for this wonderful mod. There's a few things I had to manually click on each screen (flight paths, quest pickup and turn-in, accepting shared quests, accepting rez, etc.) and I love how those are automatic now. I'm not done converting my setup to fully use Jamba's abilities, but I'm doing it one step at a time (leveling is more fun so I tend to always put aside making changes to my setup :whistling: ).
One minor detail I noticed, is that if I have my slaves on follow, then open the flight master on all toons, and pick a destination with my master, they will all go on their way and that works great, but I'll get the error messages on my master screen about how my slaves have broke follow (the "help! I'm no longer following you!" message). Like I said, very minor, but I figured I'd say it anyway and let you decide the priority on it. ;)
Keep up the awesome work! :thumbsup:
Nice, I'm going to check it out. We'll see how it works on the beta servers :)
WoW 3.0 Updates
This thread is huge but hopefully you will see this. Anyway these are the changes that are needed to make it work in the Beta. I will try to keep it updated.
*** ToggleQuestLog no longer exists.
As a quick and dirty fix I added the following function
JambaCore.lua
Code:function ToggleQuestLog()
ToggleFrame(QuestLogFrame);
end
*** InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame has been renamed InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory.
I changed the following lines
JambaCore.lua
Code:--
InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory( JambaComms:GetOptionsFrame() )
-- InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame( JambaComms:GetOptionsFrame() )
Wow! I was actually replied to! Thats awesome! xDQuote:

Anyways, I currently use hotkeynet for my dualboxing warlocks, and looked at the mouse broadcasting, but gave up on it because I don't know how I would get all the camera angles the same, etc.
And I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I currently (with my dualboxing setup) use a /target focus setup for my macros (I'm going to try using this mod soon :D), I was wondering if someone can give me an in-depth tutorial (that makes sense) on how I can make my alt able to run by herself. Currently the macros target my mains target, so if I'm not also playing my main, I can't do anything, also, when my main dies, my alt can't do ANYTHING.
My macros go like this (after setting main as focus):
/target focus
/assist
/cast Shadowbolt (I don't put a rank so it casts the highest)
/stopmacro (can't remember the actual command I put in there, might actually be stopmacro)
And I just press that.
You think you could spare some time to help a noob like myself? I'm currently 27/28 and have died 4 times.
Oh yeah, like I said, I don't care if its an addon, or a command you bind to a key (like TURNORACTION), so if there is a command like that, that owuld be awesome to know aswell ;)
Otherwise I'll have to figure out how to broadcast mouse co-ords, figure out camera angles, and then bind a key to TURNORACTION and broadcast that key. Oi.
Blizz loves us so much so that they won't help us one bit.
-.-
