My ideal situation is to set warnings to MSBT or SCT and chat/status updates to a specific channel. I can use msbt filters to control some of that action externally.

One thing I am noticing is how I am becoming numb to raid warnings. Where in the past RW was something very important during a boss battle that really captured my attention it is now a bit spammy from /follow breaks and hit warnings. I am become very accustom to it going off. I suppose the best example would be car alarms. They go off so often these days that folks barely pay attention to it. The gut reaction is to double check if its your car and to roll back to sleep if it is not.

---

Thank you for your reply. I've added your suggestions to the list; I think they are good ideas and in a future release, I'll split out warnings and chat to be configured seperately.

I think I'd like to change the raid warning look and feel to be something specific to Jamba, as I agree with your issue with it. At the moment, I'll leave it as is for the folks that want it; and hopefully you have a workaround below.

I have had a quick look at MSBT and I see how you could do the filtering. Does this work with text that gets sent to the default chat window? Or is it just wow api events / combat log?

If default chat works, would it be possible to capture the message that Jamba sends about slaves not following and show that using MSBT? (Jamba-Warning has the option "Show Warnings In Default Chat (Master)".) I'd be very interested to know if this works for you. If it does, you could turn off the "Show Warnings In Raid Warning (Master)" option.

Thanks for the great response for bugs. Nice to have an active developer around. Here is a small request to put on your todo list...

Create an option for changing the raid warning messages (follow broken, under attack, etc). I think it would be nice to customize the message some without having to edit the lua file. Just a text box next to the option that changes the default message to what is typed.

---

You are welcome. Your request is on the list...

[quote='Ishar',index.php?page=Thread&postID=117927# post117927]In merchant, have exceptions to the buy list. Eg, why would the pally stock up on ankhs, or the teleport reagent? (class based would make the most sense. ) conceptually, the ability to manage the 'autobuy' list centrally is very nice. I used to use reagent re-stocker for that functionality, and managing that sort of things x5 is a pain, especially when changing food.
[/quote]Thank you for the great feedback!

I've added your auto-rez, jamba gold total ideas to the list.

Your class merchant exception idea is a natural extension of what is there in terms of central management. It's now my goal for Jamba that you should never have to leave your main to configure your alts (apart from trust).

Re: Merchant, rather than Jamba forcing class based buying; what do you think about the "tag" based system that discussed in this [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=13028']thread[/url] ?

When you add an item to buy to the list; you also tag the item. e.g. I add 20 ankhs with a tag of "shamanbuystuff". On my shamans in the /jamba interface I tag each of my shamans with the same tag "shamanbuystuff". Now when a visit to the merchant occurs; only that characters with the same tag as the tag on the item will buy that item.

This way you can customise your buy lists from one place; and have a reasonably flexible system. (Likewise for sell lists.)

What do you think? Good? Bad?

Hey Jaf,

I'm not having issues with the slaves accepting, but if I abandon, i get the spam. But, I now run my slaves on quest silently and its no biggie. I LOVE the fact that my toons aren't flying to different areas :: Does Cabbage Patch ::

No other issues as of yet. Thanks again for the hard work.

---

Thank you for confirming the workaround for that issue works! I'm glad your toons are not rebellious in the skies any more.

I ran into a weird one yesterday, with a new team.
I had Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice) checked and Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) unchecked

Yet all the slaves just selected the reward.

Checked it agai,n pushed it out again... no joy

So then I checked Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) pushed it out
then unchecked it and pushed it out

And it worked as expected, the slaves stopped mirroring the master if there was a reward.

Weird I tells ya.

Also some feedback, Questhelper with Mirror Master Quest Watch seemed to create a fair ammount of spam. Not really an issue since I use quest helper to watch the quests I just disabled the quest watch option.

---

:love: Woot! Some feedback on how to reproduce a problen. I'll try it out later and I see if I get the same result. I'm going to scan the Jamba-Quest code again looking for configuration problems like this. Thank you so much!

5 boxed for the first time tonight (brought a team of 2 and a team of 3 together now that I've got more ram.)

Side note for those who hit this post in a search. 5 boxing on a macbook pro upgraded to 4gb of ram is fine for a PVE environment. Probably too slow for PVP.

Back to Jamba. I'm having the delay in quest accepting and completion also. I can't tell you offhand what settings I have enabled but I'll run some tests tonight when I get home and get you data. Things I miss from multiboxer v2 are party exp and any sort of status frame. Gonna take a quick look and see if your dev plans include a GUI status frame. Also, auto-follow after combat but that's in the works. I do like the raid warnings. Kept me from losing a toon multiple times last night. All in all very impressed with the functionality at such an early stage. Looks to be an extremly well fleshed out multiboxing tool that could become part of everyone's arsonal.

---

Congratulations on the 5 boxing! More power to you! I really would appreciate some more data on this issue. GUI status frame is on the list. I've added party experience as well. I'm glad you like Jamba and can see its potential. I really appeciate your feedback on the other thread as well. :)

Re: Merchant, rather than Jamba forcing class based buying; what do you think about the "tag" based system that discussed in this thread ?

---

If i'm understanding you correctly the tag thing would work fine as well, and would allow much finer-grained control over who buys what. The class-based exceptions was just the first thing that came to mind, but tags would let you to centrally manage, but buy different things for different characters. I was thinking, what if you have a staggered group, or groups, that both interact with the same main... you might be different levels, so you might to buy totally different stuff. I Like the tag idea. Or, what if you have hunters with different pet types and thus need different kind of pet-food? yeah, ok, tags are super cool.

It sorta ties in with the future plan 'auto upgrade food/water' idea, in that jamba could automatically apply a 'level' and 'location' tag to toons, and have a hidden food/water list that worked off that. (theres probably much much easier ways to implement that, though, lol.). And location is sorta unnecessary, only level is really applicable to food/water. (cant buy what the merch doesn't have, lol).

Honestly, the nicest thing about Jamba (for me) is the 'push to characters' design concept. Thats just, so cool and useful for multi boxers.

Here is my frozen v0.2 goals for those that are interested. My main concerns are the quest delays and the quest / player not found spam; followed by ...

I really don't know. I've documented how to remove a module should the end user wish to do so. I'm torn between the single addon idea and having the modules as separate addons... Splitting to addons would take a bit of refactoring and I rather concentrate on 0.2 and 0.3 for now. Its definitely an option for the future.

ok i cant seem to get chat warning to work when they get hit,
so how his the chat being relay to master maybe i have combat log turned off
also should i MB2 turned off?
also when is the do the auto team work or how?

I prefer your idea of commenting out the line for each module in one file. Makes /console reloadui much less painful. ;)

Also, as a follow-up to the delays when group-selecting quest accept/complete/etc., I was able to reproduce it mainly when spam was coming across (xxx does not have quest blah). I did, however, try setting them all to "Silently Quest" or whatever the silent checkbox is. It helped but I was still able to reproduce 5-9 second delays where w/o silent, it was 20-40 seconds. Improved but hopefully your planned updates will resolve the rest of that latency.

Automatic Follow sounds great but could you include '/jamba autofollow on|off|toggle' so that we can easily control it from macros. I probably want it on for most trash but want to toggle it off when sending my tank into a larger group or a boss etc.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks for trying out Jamba.

Chat gets relayed through the wow api addon channel. So combat log turned off is ok. The chat warning is probably not working because your characters don't trust each other. To fix this, make sure ALL your characters have each other in their list and that every one is selected (tick in the box) on the member page. You can get this member page by typing /jamba.

Your slave must have your master in its list and the tick box selected.
Your master must have your slave in its list and the tick box selected.

MB2 and Jamba do similar things; you can have both running at once; but they conflict a lot in their functionality and its not good to have two addons trying to do the same thing. I suggest you have one do one thing and the other not do that thing.

I hope that helps and you get the chat warnings to work.

Do you mean when you are in a group with other players and you get the pass/greed/need window appear? And you want your toons to automatically pass? I can certainly see if this is possible to do and if it is, I'll add this as an option into jamba-group.

Maybe throw in an option to have your alts opt out of random loot as well.

Improved but hopefully your planned updates will resolve the rest of that latency.[/quote]I have Mobmap installed (not updated in a while). On my quest log, if I collapse a quest headers (group), so the quests underneath the header are invisible, I get this spam / delay problem...

Mobmap hooks the QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event. In the handler for this event, Mobmap can call ExpandQuestHeader and CollapseQuestHeader. It also calls SelectQuestLogEntry which is what Jamba picks up on and uses to send a select quest command to the slaves.

Mobmap works when the quest window is hidden. Mobmap is calling ExpandQuestHeader inside a handler for QUEST_LOG_UPDATE; problem is that ExpandQuestHeader causes the QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event to fire, which then calls this handler, which then calls ExpandQuestHeader, causing QUEST_LOG_UPDATE, ... infinite loop (well until you expand all your quest headers).

Jamba goes for a ride on this infinite loop and sends commands to the slaves EVERY UPDATE. Noooooo.... ;( This is what slows all the commands down and is A cause of the delays.

If you are curious install about what events are happening in the background, you can install the [url='http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info3999-DevTools.html']devtools addon[/url] . Type /dtevents to see the event listed as they happen.

I could uninstall MobMap; but then all your fine folk might have similar (slightly buggy in certain situation) addons like this as well; so I can't beat this that way. My solution is to only send Jamba quest commands when the quest log frame is visible. (And I don't collapse my headers in my quest logs anymore.)

(Aside: I love MobMap and I mean no offense to Slarti; its a quick fix for Mobmap to stop this and it only happens if you have collapsed quest header groups; its just that MobMap affects Jamba and I'd like to let others know about this problem as you may have the same setup as me.)

If you have MobMap installed and are getting command delays; try and make sure all your quest header groups are expanded.

So I have implemented a rule to only do Jamba-Quest commands when the QuestLogFrame is visible. Which solves the problem! And is a logic thing to do. Coming to you in 0.2. Edit: This does not apply to the slave auto-accept, auto-accept-escort and auto-complete quest options.

Is there any one out there using Jamba-Quest, that has a non-standard quest log or other addons that they think might have similar behaviour?

Nice addon. Only thing I missed was a "auto-free-for-all" function, so I've added that to the group module. I can send you the changes if you want, not sure how you want them? (I can make a diff file, or just PM you the new files)

Also, some features that would be nice:
- Reagent tracker
- Party members XP info
- Bag space / gold info
- Cooldown info (So clones can warn when some cooldown is up)

Thanks for the compliment, glad you like the addon! And that you are a keen lua hacker as well. :thumbup:

I've already added the auto-free-for-all functionality into jamba-group ready for 0.2, but I'd be keen to see your changes anyway (how you have done it, coding style, etc). I'm definitely open to considering patches. A PM of the diff will be fine; I've got the 0.1a release in a subversion branch so I can easily see what you have done.

If you spot any "bugs" in Jamba please do tell!

Most of your feature requests are on the roadmap; I'll add the ones that are not. I'm not exactly 100% sure what you mean by reagent tracker. Do you want to see how many ankhs your shaman slaves have left on your masters screen for instance?

Looking forward to the diff.

I just copied your style in this case, since it's your source. Anyway, I'll PM you my JambaGroup.lua and JambaCore.lua files.

With the reagent tracker I mean some kind of frame that tells you how much of a certain item the clones have, like Ankhs, soulshards, arrows, drink and food stuff like that. You can easily integrate this with a clone gold / free bag space frame.

I use Carbonite and experienced some pretty serious delays when I tried Jamba. I've since uninstalled Jamba since it was unreliable and turned my old tools back on with the intent of tracking down the problem later... I run a pretty heavy UI so there may be other issues of interop at hand as well... the big problem I have at the moment is with RAF burning my 90 day timer, I've got my locks to 40 now, I expect they'll hit 60 this weekend without much effort... I'll take a week off leveling in between the locks and my boomkin group... so I'll rework some UI love then.

Sweet, thanks for the information. I'll have a look at Carbonite and see how Jamba behaves with the new 0.2 fixes. After discovering the mobmap issue, I'm not surprised you were getting serious delays. If you are up to PM'ing me a list of your addons, I'm up for trolling through them all looking for quest event handlers and hooks that might affect Jamba. I'm all for getting Jamba stable and be able to play nice with as many addons as possible.

RAF > Addons. Enjoy your lock levelling!

Hmm...I'm running carbonite quest as well. Might be something to that if more than one CQ user is seeing it.

I definitely do not collapse my quest logs (I use QuestsFu) so I know that's not part of my particular experience.

Thanks again, Jafula, for helping us help you resolve this. :)

Just wanted to give a big thanks for this awesome addon! Loving it :D
One thing tho, maybe have the "auto decline group invite" OFF by default, since the first time you wanna invite someone, they decline, and then you have to open Jamba and change that setting before you can group up :)
Just a "I'm too lazy, so maybe we can change the program"-suggestion :D

Thank you for your thanks! Sure, I can do that, that is a much friendlier out of the box setting. Are they other defaults that people think would be friendlier out of the box?

THanks for this add on I love it

There is one request I have For the follow command section

on the change area event It auto follows the leader.


meaning when you go through a loading zone it auto makes them follow again

You could make it a check box option so if they don't want they don't have to use it

Thanks and love

Great addon! Was wondering 2 things though:

1. Is there a way to incorporate the auto-accept trades script into your mod? So I can open up a trade with my slave and as soon as I hit "Trade," he automatically accepts/trades?

2. I'm having problems where my slave is choosing the same quest reward my main is choosing and then completing the quest with the wrong reward choice.
This is what I have checked in Jamba-Quest:

• Mirror Master Quest Selection
• Slave Auto Accept Escort Quest
• Mirror Master Decline Quest
• Mirror Master Abandon Quest
• Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)
• Mirror Master Quest Watch

I don't have the Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) selected at all, but it still seems to do it for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

1. Unfortunately no, AcceptTrade() is a protected API function and addons cannot call it. So you need your "big button" macro to do this for you on a key press.

2. To fix this; try and follow the steps below (and the don't change the quest settings after you get it working). There is something not quite configured correctly with the defaults. I have made changes to fix this, just need to test them. Try test runs on lowbie quests where you don't care about the reward (if you can). Let me know if you are still having issues after this tweaking.

then unchecked it and pushed it out

And it worked as expected, the slaves stopped mirroring the master if there was a reward.

Weird I tells ya.

Also there is a bug where complete quest will not work properly unless mirror master quest watch is also selected.

To fix this now before 0.2; you can make sure Mirror Master Quest Watch is always selected.
-OR-
you can change line 991 in JambaQuest.lua

Code:

---

function JambaQuest:DoSelectQuestLogEntry( sender, questName )

-- If the mirror master option is on...
if self.db.mirrorMasterQuestWatch then
-- If the sender was not this character and is the master then...
if (sender ~= self.playerName) and (self.comms:CharacterIsTheMaster( sender )) then
local questIndex = GetQuestLogIndexByName( "  "..questName )
if questIndex then

---

Change line 4 above (line 991 in the JambaQuest.lua) to

Code:

---

if self.db.mirrorMasterQuestSelection then

---

Also, make sure you are using Jamba-0.1a. Lots of bug fixes and stability fixes coming in 0.2.

THanks for this add on I love it

There is one request I have For the follow command section

on the change area event It auto follows the leader.


meaning when you go through a loading zone it auto makes them follow again

You could make it a check box option so if they don't want they don't have to use it

Thanks and love

Glad you like the addon, I'll see if I can make that change for you.

/cheer

Downloaded today and it works great! I love how much this helps with everything. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I am a Jamba fan.

Ok, 0.2 development is pretty much done; just got to test the lot and write some docs, so I'll try and have it released before the weekend.

You now have control over where the warnings and chat that comes from your toons go. Pushed this forward from 0.3.

Warnings dialog.

What happens when you have all the warning options on (its real spammy).

That's all for now.

Hey Jaf, first off thanks for this imba addon, it definitely made multiboxing a breeze.
I ran into the same issue with quest reward selection and something that I didnt see mentioned is that it looks like the addon is misreading quest info (or one of my addons is causing it to do so). I say this because I see chat messages from Jamba saying 'Choices: 0', 'Choices: 2' etc when i'm about to complete the quest and yet some times that info is wrong, eg it's a quest with a gold reward yet I see 'Choices: 2' in my chat messages.

I am using QuestAnnouncer, Lightheaded(on Master only) and DoubleWide for questing, should I try disabling all 3 of them and see if the problems persist?

@Jaf

lolol at the "Very dangerous Boar" there in your screenshot. ;D


Thanks for the updates!

Sure, if you wouldn't mind disabling those addons and trying. Then we could narrow the problem down to Jamba (or wow api) or an addon. Did you see my mobmap comment above? There are other non-quest addons that like to read the quest information as well (as I discovered).

Can you remember if the choices were ever wrong when there was a choice? E.g. its a quest with a choice of rewards and you see 'Choices: 0'.

(I'm wondering if the quest info is updated properly from the api when there are no reward choices. I'll have a closer look at Blizzards quest code and see if I can match what they do exactly.)[/s]

Enthusiastic! ;)
I'm not letting 0.2 out the door the same way I did 0.1! It's not released yet, give it a couple of days... I'll post in this thread when it is released.

I hope 0.2 fixes some of the bugs I've been experiencing lately.
It seems that Jamba sort of hangs on my slaves, and reloading UI doesn't always help either.
Symptoms: I first register the problems when delivering a quest, and the choices aren't being transmitted/copied by my slaves. Then, when I try to broadcast some settings, no feedback. After a few minutes (if I don't bother relogigng or reloading UI(whishc someitmes help)), I get update messages on my slaves.

It sure does. The delay on slaves has been reported and its mainly due to other addons parsing the quest log and calling wow api quest selection routines (some of them buggily as in the mobmap example previous).

Jamba (0.2) is smarter now and works around these other addons and will only send a select quest command if the quest name has changed.

So jamba sends the "select quest A" command once and won't send another "select quest A" command. If the master selects quest B, then Jamba will send a "select quest B" command, but only once. And now another "select quest A" command could be sent (but will only be sent once).

Also quest log functions are now only broadcast to the slaves if the master has the quest log open.

Another fix is that Jamba now only sends quest commands to the slaves, where as before, the master also got the command (redundant and wasteful).

I'm confident the fixes above will solve most of the problems. But, there may be an addon out there that still conflicts.

If you want to help, you can PM me a list of all your addons and I can (try to) check them for compatibility with 0.2.

I would love to see the messages on slaves screen. I dunno how :D I mean the messages like " you are facing the wrong direction" while trying to cast something to a mob, "skin failed" , "mine failed". These types of warning.

And something i experienced this weekend. My slaves were very slow on accepting quests.After my main accepts the quests it takes 30 to 45 secs for my slaves .This didnt happen before and I am using "quest silently".

Thx for all great effort. And PM me if you want to beta test your new version. :)
