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

I have a simple question that might have been answered already but is there a way that I dont know about that makes it eaiser to add members to the team. I recently updated jamba and it took all my toons out of the team. Its easier for others that dont use ò, ô, ì, and so on to add chars but for me it takes a bit because all 15 of my team names have some sort of ascii text. The task of typing instead of being able to[shift] click the name is tearing me up. 210 times to type them in across all chars, i have to ice my hands. LOL

thanks for your time jafula!

dont know if there is shift click option but you sure dont need to type them to all you chars. Just your main char and when all your team is invited you just push that push settings button in right corner of jamba setup console.

Invite all your toons to a party. Then type

/jamba-team addparty

This will add all the toons in your party to the jamba team.

Type

/jamba-team

to go to the team window.

WOOOOT!
You are a god!

Does this include the messages such as "I am unable to take the same flight path", and "Item not ready for use"? If so, I liked it a lot, and actually held off upgrading to 5.0 for a long time when I found out it wasn't included yet.

Yes, that's correct. Any suggestions about how you would like to see these messages are welcome.

Hey Mr.Jafula-Man..:)

First, THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!!And sorry for my bad english....BOW DOWN FOR JAFULA, Your Addon give me a better-taste of Multiboxing...:p

.....but i really miss this "Old-Jamba-Target" thing..the one with the little nice RaidIcon-Roundup for a QuickMacro-Assigment and TargetHealth-Display to get a "visible" UnitStatus-Relation.:(

Ive spend hours in Interface-Modding, since your drastic change from V4.xx to V5.xx, people laught to me, seeing me and my toons sitting around, while ive to understand the Philosophia behind Jamba-Macro...anyway, ive "modded" 2 another Addons to get my MultiTargetWindow back;
Ive rearranged the ChildFrames from GCP and placed Vuhdo-Bars in a new Parental Frame:D

My Question now;

Is it possible to add the "Old" TargetMacro-System as a new Jamba-Modul?So i can "fill" in Variables for hostiletargets "on the fly" and see them in a Jamba-Frame?:cool:

Situation; Bossfight, Boss+1Heal, Maintoon (Focus on Boss) attacked Boss, Slave1 is MainHeal, Slave2 is MainAssist.
Slave1 (Focus on Maintoon) has healed the Maintoon, Slave2 (Focus on EnemyHeal) sheeped the EnemyHeal.

The Display (GCP) looks then like this;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------Target(Dist)------ TargetTarget------NextThreat(%)-------Focus(CC)-------Focustarget----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----A.BossName(>8)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-------A.BossName(20)-----MainToon----
-----A.BossName(20)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-----------MainToon(0)-----------Boss-------
-----A.BossName(20)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-------B.1HealName(10)------Slave2------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(only 3 Targets, because i am Triboxing...the idea is expandable...)

Ive placed a GroupFrame (Vuhdo) over it, now the Targets have Bars, RaidIcons and are Clickable,too.Now I can easy remeber Casts,Toons and Targets with RaidIcons and have a random acess...the Targets, not the FocusTargets, this need more improvment with Macros inside and Delays outside of wow...this is an another thread....blabla...:eek:

Hello,

I can't find the courage to read all 157 pages of this thread, so please accept my apologies if the subject has already been raised before :

Jafula, are you interested in having the addon translated into foreign languages ? Have you considered it ? (not sure how much work it would be to change the code so that the addon supports language files) Jamba is a very popular addon among foreign multiboxers, although some of them have trouble configuring it to fit their need because they can't read English. So I would be happy to do the French translation if you'd like to take the plunge but needed help for the translations ;)

This applies to the current version of Jamba-0.5.

Yes, that would be great. You can make a start already. In each of the module files there is a directory called locale. In that directory there will be a file xxxx-frFr with lines like

L["Hello"] = true

You would need to change the lines in the Frfr file to something like

L["Hello"] = "Bonjour"

Just changing these files should be enough. Please let me know if the instructions were clear enough or if you have questions. When you have finished we can work out a way for you to send the files to me.

Cheers!
Jafula.

Your instructions are clear enough;) I'll work on it this evening as soon as I'm back home and will let you know. I guess I should be able to check the results in game directly when I'm finished with the translation of a module :)

A question though :
I see you sometimes include a parameter inside a string and therefore use ' as a string delimiter instead of " :

Quote:

---

L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = true

---

in that case, how can I safely use ' as a word separator (as in "I'm glad to see you"), please ?

Quote:

---

L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = 'Etes-vous sûr(e) de vouloir supprimer "%s" de l'ensemble de variables ?'

---

Not sure wether there is an escape character in LUA language like in C language (\X) or if I should put two single quotes or something ? For now, I've workaround-ed this problem by wording differently the sentence but I'm curious to know the proper way to do this :p

Hey Jafula I have come to bother you again...lol Ok since everytime I make a new team I somehow mess up my macros, is there anyway I can use my first one I made for my shammy druid team that works fine and just add the names of the other team. Or is there anyway I can just copy the old one and just change the names so I have both? Oh and I mean my 1 button leader swapping macros you helped me with before

Translation done. There might be some minor changes to be done after I've submitted my work to the French speaking community.

However I've tried my modified version of the addon but it still shows in-game in English (although the "core:profiles" tab is in French and has always been). I can't figure out a way to see my changes ingame, still trying. I guess there's something to change in a config file to tell the addon which language to use ?

I've hosted my preliminary work here : http://www.chez-cheos.org/jamba/Jamba-0.5d-fr.zip (please be gentle to not download it if you don't need it because I have limited bandwidth ;))

Getting back to WOW after a 4 month, a lot has change since that. I have downloaded the latest ver. of Jamba. I have a lot more fuction than before. I am have some problems with it. I am unable to move the Items bar and the Team Display. I have disable all the other addon and both of this box are sitting in the middle of the screen. I can use the check the hide box in Jamba but I will like to use both of this display. I am not able to left or right click and drag the boxes to the side of my display.

/faceplam
I need to use the Alt and left click.

http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=28573

UseItem is not working for me. When i put an item in one of the slots on the master toon it appears on slave toons bar, but when the master toon uses the item via hot key or clicking the item on the bar the master will use it but slave will not.

Did you set the keybindings on both via the Keybindings menu in WoW? Make sure the binds aren't also tied to something else by default.

And i'm pretty sure clicking it won't work, only the keybind you set on everyone.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but:

Would like to see a level filter on chat forwards. I have a spam filter, but it seems that Jamba forwards before the spam add-on filters (bad-boy in my case) - I wouldn't really need a spam filter if I could simply specify to filter out all messages from characters with a level lower than 10 (or whatever) - would be great and save me an add-on.

Also, I'd love to see an option to switch off jamba. I realize that this can be done in part with profile, but not completely. Rigth now I use ACT to do that, but it would be nice to be able to macro it.

Also - great work, love the add-on - especially the macro functionality is brilliant!

Agreed on the level filter, the spammers have become more numerous lately, and it would be nice to still have some of my chat log intact by the time I manage to broadcast type /ignore and the horribly iffy-to-type names they often use.

Ive noticed when a whisper relays from a slave to my master toon, that sometimes after I hit enter to send the message, the type box stays open on the slave. Ive never had it happen before and I am using the most current version..is there anything in the addon itself I need to look for to fix it? Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided :)

Would you happen to be using the WIM addon?
If so, it's in the WIM settings.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for such a great addon.

I was wondering if you are able to include the functionality in order to make the "Jamba Team" section able to be detected by "Clique" 's frame selection.

As a multiboxer this would be great.
I use IsBoxer and could use the repeater region to overlay the "Jamba Team" section for healing.

I would be able to remove grid / healbot and free up UI space. I have yet to check out the lua code, so am unsure if this is possible. Just thought I would make a post here as it may be usefull.

Thanks again.

An update on this subject : thanks to the French speaking multiboxing community, the translation of the addon has very well progressed and is now almost complete saved a few technicals issues that should be very easy to solve on your part ;) :
- as the translation is not automatically enabled yet, we figured out a way to test our work ingame using an awful hack :D
- a few text areas could be enlarged a little as the translated text is currently cut even though here is available room on the configuration panel. See example below :
http://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/11/04/6...h/jamba-10.jpg
- in the displayTeam module, the name of the blizzard dialog background is included in the translation file, but it seems it shouldn't as things got messed up when I translated that text.
- not sure if it would be also be possible to make it possible to translated titles of the modules as seen in the left panel of the configuration screen ?

Jafula, thanks again for that great addon and for offering it to the community :)

Is there any chance that Jamba can copy my bartender-4 config to my other toons ?
I must say though, in the last year ( about the last time i played ) jamba has shown a lot of improvement. Im impressed.....

Cant all the directories be placed into one main directory? Takes up alot of room in the addon directory and the addon list. Would be easier if it was just a jamba directory.

Nope, still using the same addons I was using when it worked correctly last time...dunno what it could be, just started noticing it when I went to the newest version :/

Now that I think about it, if you have unbound the default key to reply to whispers on your alt, but still have it bound on your main, and used it while forgetting to pause your key broadcasting, when you hit enter to send the message, your alt will open their chat input. (since the R didn't do it for them, the enter did).

I know I've made this mistake several times.

Hmmm, didnt think of that, Ill check that this weekend when Im able to play. Thanks for the info Max :)

Greetings.
First of all thanks for a wonderfull addon. This one is indeed a life saver.

I am a first time user of this addon, and I need some help with the proc settings. I want to see procs from my slaves on my main screen.

So far I have gotten clearcasting from the druid to work, but my mage Hot Streak isnt working at all.

Is it me that completly misses an obvious thing or is it a strange error or something?

Blizzard changed the way the Hot Streak and other procs were reported in the combat log. This means that Jamba-Proc no longer works correctly. I'd like to fix it some day, but in the mean time, I suggest you do not use Jamba-Proc, but use MSBT instead.

Here is a video of how to set it up team procs with MSBT.

Hope that helps!

Nope sorry, they need to be in seperate directories as some people don't use all the functionality and like to be able to disable the modules they don't use. This is the most user firendly way to do this.

Sorry, Jamba cannot move configs from one toon to another for non-Jamba addons (like Bartender).

You might like to check out the curse.com premium client. If you pay for it, you can copy configs from one place to another. I think if you set up your wow games in the curse client, it might be able to do this. Please note, I'm not 100% sure about this, you'll need to check it out yourself.

Glad you like Jamba! Thanks for the praise.

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for such a great addon... it has to be the single most important multibox mod ever!

Just a small issue I've noticed with jamba right after logging on (after waiting for all addons, including jamba, to load completely):
Sometimes after logging on, the team display is not getting populated with the whole team (usually either characters, or 3 out of 5) and then hitting my "/jamba-team invite" macro only invites the characters currently displayed in the list (either none or the other two in the example above).
And the only way to get the whole team invited is to either disband and try again (in the case of partial invites) or to open the jamba-team config menu and hit the invite button manually (in the case of no invites happened).

Please see if you can fix this :)

Also, eagerly anticipating the next update, thanks for a great addon! ^^

I was wondering if with the advent of the new 3.3.3 battleground system if something could be added to the Jamba addon for battleground ques. Just like how you can control quests/tracking maybe something that can control battleground queing and entering even with macros.

Thanks for a great addon

in version 4 there was a feature jamba-target that used raid icons.

is there a way to do this in version 0.5d?

i suspect the macro function would work. but i cant figure out how to use a raid icon as a substitution variable. this function is certainly useful so i must be missing something.

ty,
jlw.

Hey jamba! Love the add on, but having huge issues with jamba proc. Is there any way to make the proc portion customizable ? I really wanna move the bars and change their color and positioning, ie vertical instead of horizontal lol. Is there any way you can make this happen for us? With the 3 selections we have available its always right in the way of my field of vision hehe

Can't you move it with MoveAnything? at least? (haven't tried it myself)

--Ello!

Been a while since I posted, (had to quit for a while, recently picked back up and started 3 new shammys). Anyways, reinstalled Jamba, and noticed suddenly I wasn't able to see party/whispers/loot/etc. I went ahead and did a 50/50 check, then narrowed it down to jamba. Somethings causing it to not show messages. Anyone else see this problem?

Did you get the newest version and set the team up properly on everyone and the related modules for the functions you mentioned?
