[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Old Thread

Sorry to post again but did you folks see my issue with master looter not transferring to the group master?

On a positive note, Ive implemented my buttons for my different groups and your disableallmembers button works like a charm, thank you so much for implementing that feature Jafula.

Thanks.

A few feature suggestions:

- Showing reputation-bar in main window (instead of healt/experience)

- Option to count amount of accepted quests. When doing dailies, sometimes the add-on due to lag or whatever, misses a click and only 4 of 5 chars accept the quest - it would be great if the chat on the master could read something like "Accepted quest: The AIrstrikes Must Continue (5)" instead of five individual lines. That way I wouldn't have to check the individual screens or the main questlog every time :)

- Option to warn of full inventory on slaves (I'm not sure if this already exists)

I absolutely love:

- The sheer amount of configuration options
- The autobuy option (/cheer)[/quote]Your welcome, obviously the options don't overwhelm you. I'll add in a reputation option for the bars display. I think the inventory full warning, should come through with the new Jamba-Talk option of forwarding UI errors and UI information. The aggregating information "(5x) accepted quests" is a good idea. It'll be a bit of work, but I'll try to add it in a later release.

And to Plonk:

[quote='plonk',index.php?page=Thread&postID=146818# post146818]Let me develop, I had one time an addon that was allowing me to see what was the target of any player in the group, I think the addon was X-perl or something... by that time I was not multiboxing, but re-thinking about that possibilty, I think that could be really cool to see at one glance what is the target of each slaves before entering combat mode :D
[/quote]... there can be only one! [url='http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/perl-classic-unit-frames.aspx

Perl Classic Unit Frames[/url] has a "group target frame" so you can always see what alle the other toons has targeted - priceless ^^

---

I use X-Perl for group-targets, but I'm not sure if this is what you want.

Jamba was updated Sunday? I can't wait to try it tonight. (as long as the severs don't crash w/ WoTLK)

does it by any chance include a: /jamba-assist master all ?

I thought there was a mention of that feature as a possibility. I, for one, would love to see it included at some point.

Thanks for your hard work. You're the man.

---

No problem, I didn't add a master assist in. I plan to change the 2 master keys, target and focus, to generic master macros where you can type what you want in, like assist, or focus, or target, etc. Like Jamba-Target, you will use a placeholder for the master name (#MASTER#).

Im having an issue with master looting wtih jamba and im not sure if its because im misunderstanding what the addon is supposed to do in that regard.

My thoughts are... if you have it to auto select master looter... and you have it set to change group leader to master, that it should also change the master looter to the group leader when you switch. So if char1 is leader and masterlooter.. if i switch to char2, it will switch him to master looter. It doesnt appear to be behaving this way at this time.

I can right click my portrait and select a new master looter that way.

Am I misunderstanding what the add on is supposed to be doing with master looting?

Thanks for your help.

---

It's a bug and two others posted about this, thank you for mentioning it. I'll make sure master looter changes when the master changes.

Wonderful addon Jafula, thanks.

I'm seeing a minor problem though. The Auto Promote Master To Leader function is only working once for the first change of focus, and not for any subsequent changes.

---

Thanks, I'll have a look.

No filters for that yet. What sort of filter would YOU like, a filter of messages not to send, or a filter of messages to send? YOU being anyway that uses Jamba and reads this post

---

I would personally go for a selection box that says something like "no filtering, list is block list, list is permit list". [edit] ... but ifyou would only provide a small fixed set of filters, then it doesn't matter, because the list is small to change.

---

Hmm, I thought about that as well. Will default to filtering out lines, like the "spell not ready" one and have an option to change to only send through the list. Or is that too complicated?

I did see it. I'll check it out when I get a chance. At the moment I'm enjoying playing WOTLK :).

Feature request of minute importance:

I would like a slash command to toggle display of Jamba Team or the ability to hide in combat.

Thanks for Jamba as is. :)

Is there any way I can decrease the follow distance to 1/2 or less what it is? ty

I'm pretty sure /follow (distance) is a default amount controlled by Blizzard.
The only distance we can configure to do with follow, is camera follow distance.
Unfortunately that does nothing to change how far back my following toon is from my leading toon.

M'kay :D

This is problem a user problem ;) but my slaves are automatically selecting quest rewards and completing quests without waiting for the master selection. Any ideas?

Loving Jamba now more than ever :D

That's built into WoW, and Addon authors have no ability to access it.

Check your options in Jamba-Quest; make sure the option to automatically accept/complete quests are off; these two:

Slave Auto Accept ANY Quests
Slave Auto Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)

You'll need to check all your toons (or just push settings out).

If those settings are already off on all your toons, make sure you are not running any other mods, like multiboxer / automation that also have this behaviour. Also with your "big button" with the /script AcceptQuest() /script AccceptTrade() in it, make sure you are not hitting that when you shouldn't.

Apart from that, I'm about out of ideas. Reboot?

Looks fine to me.

Fantastic addon, I will definitely be donating. Please keep up the good work.

I'm working on JambaThreat :D (at least, Jafula lets me call it that way) and is currently made for notifying the master/raid/party about any PvP threats in the neighborhood.

The idea is to have enemy presence info forwarded and displayed:
Any combat log message that is enemy-related(e.g. a rogue going in stealth) will trigger an 'alarm'.
This event then warns the master/party/raid.
It will be active in battlegrounds, in contested areas(PvP server only) and in "free for all" PvP zones(e.g. world arenas).

I might add PvE threat info later, similar to Omen.

For some reason my second box is not showing the Jamba exp bars. I have it on the main box and have pushed it to the second box but even with log out/ log back in it is not showing up. I am using the most recent version.

Also, not to sound TOO dense, but how can I set the second box to target my main's target? Is it possible to do this automatically?

Thank you for a phenominal add-on!!

There is an option in the display tab of the /jamba interface that goes something like "Only display bars on master character". You will need to uncheck that to see the box on your other character (and push the settings).

Easiest way is to have you main as focus on you second character.

/focus Main

then in macros you can use something like

/target focustarget
/startattack

or

/cast [target=focustarget][] Lightning Bolt

There are plenty of examples around these forums / wiki of these types of macros.

And you are welcome.

Another way of doing the same:

/assist [target=focus,exists]
/cast Lightnig Bolt

The benefit of this over "/cast [target=focustarget][] Lightning Bolt" that you don't have to rewrite the focus code when you have multiple spells in 1 macro:

/assist [target=focus,exists]
/cast [nomod] Spell1
/cast [mod:shift] Spell2
/cast [mod:alt] Spell3

I am personally going to improve it to this:

# Some cast macro
/click MultiBarRightButton1
/cast [nomod] Spell1
/cast [mod:shift] Spell2
/cast [mod:alt] Spell3

# My main 'target select' macro on MultiBarRightButton1 which is an account-global macro:
/assist [target=focus,exists]

The benefit of the system above is that you could easily change the target selection of ALL your macros (on 1 account) by changing 1 simple macro.
There would be a target selection macro for attacking and a separate one for healing.

More info: http://www.wowwiki.com/Making_a_macr..._button_clicks

[edit] For healing I actually do "/target [target=focustarget,exists,noharm,nodead][target=focus,exists]" so I can see that my healer has targetted the right party member in the member list on the screen. This is important, because sometimes you have selected the wrong team member because of lag. With DPS this lag isn't so much of an issue, but healing is quite crucial at some points.

Oooo, Jamba got stickied, awesome, thanks!

I'm working with Ken on a proper API / module system for Jamba. The idea being that Jamba can be distributed as a core addon and other developers can write modules for Jamba, that use Jamba's subsystem, but distribute them as their own addons. This way the community can have a multiboxing addon that anyone can write modules for.

Hopefully as more developers come on board, we can cover all the requests for functionality.

Ken is an absolutely fantastic developer, so I'm sure we'll come up with a flexible subsystem, that maximises performance.

Yeah, thats sounds very good, perhaps i will join in a little. (although i have no real experience with lua-programming only 'normal'-one like c++,c#,java...) I would love to see the tag-based-macro-creating-magic.

I use a /click target method myself and am fairly happy with it. From time to time I have an issue with a little lag when trying to use /click targetting for heal so I had to go another route when it came to that. When it comes to DPS it works great.

Jamba-0.4a released.

I have fixed the master looter issue. Now your master looters should change with your master changes. Jamba-Sell was refusing to sell some items - I have sorted this now. Please let me know of any problems you find.

I can't remember if I or someone already suggested this but here it goes:

When setting up new teams; it's very cumbersome to use the UI on all toons to make the team - I'd like to do the following - using command line:

DNP on (key broadcast)

/jamba master MasterToonName

this would add the master to everybody and make it the master

/jamba reportToMaster

each toon will send their name for addition to the master's team list

PAUSE on (keys only to master)

/jamba push team

will push the newly created team to everybody

What do you think ? (or does this already exist and I missed it ?)

remotely adding the master to toons via a remote command would open us up for all kinds of trouble. What would stop folks from sending that command to change the master to themselves and adding 10,000 banana's to our merchant purchase.

Jamba-Target documentation for you all...

[Howto] Jamba-Target - the elves finally wrote some documentation...

---

You didn't read my post / you missed the DNP part: I want to leverage the fact you can send the same keys to all toon : it's not remotly; it's typing the same command on all windows at the same time.

The "reportToMaster" one can pop up a confirmation : "do you want to add..." or we could do "/jamba reportToMaster somesecret" which has to match

... let me think about this one ...

I know its something you have been considering, but some type of persistent way to see when certain abilities have proc'd or are available would be awesome.

I'm thinking specifically of an ability like the Mage's Hot Streak. Its a notice (in case you don't know mages) that an insta-cast big boom spell is ready. Its a spell that you otherwise wouldn't cast in a regular damage spam macro. So, something that would place an icon, say on or around the Jamba group window?, that a quick glance might tell me what abilities have proc'd and/or are available by toon would rock.

Continuing to love your addon. Couldn't multi box without it.

Thanks.

Okay its def not jamba cause its also canceling invisibility on my mages as well as interrupting arcane missiles :|

Feature Request: Jamba-Use

An onscreen UI that basically lets you drag an item to it quickly and easily, this needs to be small, could be a stand alone UI or at the bottom/top/etc of teh group UI. You get a quest item, you drop it there. You then have a hotkey which jamba keeps updated to use that item.

Good idear Zantor, would make it easier to do quests like filling a vial or something. But you can use the /use bla bla and make all the toons use the quest item.

I was just gonna ask about a proc alert for hot streak, just like nightfall.

Best multiboxer addon ever!

One more request from me. I am now dual-boxxing Death Knights and figure someway of tracking my slaves runes would be nice. Right now I have both of them the same spec, so for the most part I do the same rotations, but if I were to try something more complicated, being able to see the other death knights rune cooldowns would be a welcome feature.

The /use item you should be able to open up another addon and see how it was done. I'm using ELBA's tourguide file for leveling and enjoying it a lot. I have lightheaded, tourguide and tomtom installed, and one of them popped up a floating button for the mining pick for the quest where you get a sample of the huge crashed crystals in the draenai area. only gave me that option for one of the toons since I only installed those addons to the primary toon to save memory. Also don't know which of the three did the functionality, since they go hand in hand.

im pretty sure that was tourguide with the quest item pop up button

Follow strobing spams "unknown unit" errors when using flight paths.
You can't follow while on the taxi, so there's no reason to strobe while on the taxi.

Can "pause while using taxi" be conveniently implemented? :D

Actually, the same thing happens when you're dead. Hard to follow when you're dead.

Really love this addon, but with version 0.4, quite a few errors started to appear. The first few are already at startup. Is is due to other addons i have? Or is this a bug in Jamba?

It seems like you have a corrupt install. Delete Jamba from all your Interface/Addons directories. Install a fresh copy. Make sure you delete the old directory, do not overwrite the files.

awesome! thank you. i'll see if that works in-battle! hehe.

oh and one other thing. when im on my main to select a quest reward, and i pick a slave's quest reward, and then another slave's quest reward (all different quest rewards) is there a feature that will complete the quests with their chosen quest reward? or do i have to manually click complete for each one of them?
thanks!

Speaking of the quest reward selection or not, would it be possible to add an option that lets you still broadcast the "complete quest" button even without the reward selection broadcasted?
This would allow me to select the reward on each character before hitting complete on the main and everyone getting the reward they selected. Thus letting everyone still complete the quest at the same time.
I guess this is kind of a minor thing since i have to click something in all the windows anyway, but it would return the satisfaction of having them all level up at the same time in the case of a quest that is the last xp needed to ding ;)

---

Well, 2 months later and I've implemented this feature. It's the only thing in Jamba-0.4b (just released). You have to check the option in Jamba Quest for it to work. It is called "Complete Quest If Slaves Have Reward Selected" and it only works with "Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)". Enjoy :)

Quote:

---

Added an option to JambaQuest to allow reward selection on slaves before clicking "Complete Quest" on master when using the Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice) option.

---

As I was boxing today I had to keep reassuring myself what quest rewards were safe for all (ie - no one can use, or only a good caster or tank item, etc) and was thinking it would be great to pick 1 for the 4 followers and then another for my main.

I recently mothballed the lead warrior of my 4 shadow priests and popped in a DK instead and it's been a ton of new fun - but only at 65 so far, so getting the right quest items quickly helps smooth out the leveling. I had to do the The Vengeful Harbinger twice because the guy disappeared before i could evaluate the choices and then do all the clicking.

Thanks again for the great, and continuing, work !!
