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

this really is driving me nuts, i had it fine before :( now its broke i done something i don't know what, i,ve turned off strobing, but when i have autofollow after combat on its autofollow 24/7 never leaves me alone :(

btw cog the all/justme/slave tags are there by default, and i just tested they can't be removed

well, this is going to sound strange but i'll recommend it anyway. add another tag to your entire team, ie "pleasework" and assign that tag to everyone. then set pleasework as the tag the jamba-follow goes off of. If that works, then praise the gods as we would say and term the call :D

if that doesn't do it, then you can always take the bliz tech approach and delete the associated toon's wtf folder.

jafula would have to confirm but I think that there is a hidden key binding that he uses to break follow, ie down arrow or something. If your bad toon had that keybinding remapped accidently, then that would break jambas ability to break follow. reset your keybindings for that toon before you do the wtf and a repush of jamba settings.

Thanks for helping out coglistings; there is no way for an addon to stop following. An addon can start following, but not stop it. Jamba can stop strobing follow, but once that is done, you still need to press a movement / jump / sit to stop following.

my problem is my shamen keeps following me in combat, when he is supposed to be ranged caster, he breaks cast mid spells if i move on my pally tank, i had it setup fine so when he got into combat he stayed still (sometimes he wouldn't be facing the mob so i would have to drag to mod in front of him but that was fine)

but i broke it, i,ve tryed the slash commands to turn strobing off " /jamba-follow strobeoff all " but it still doesn't work :(

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of Jamba, as there have been several bug fixes for follow.
2, Make sure no other addons are enabling follow as well. For example, ISBoxer can /follow for you through its interface and in game addon.
3. If you want everyone but your caster to follow, tag every other toon as "melee"; then issue the command: /jamba-follow strobeonme melee. Make sure your caster does not have this tag.

Still not working after checking this and coglistings advice? Write back and I will try and help some more!

Hmmm, I deliberately kept the windows settings out as like having them in different spots on my slaves vs my master. I don't have this issue anymore as I use ISBoxer now, so I could push the settings through.

I'll see if I can add a seperate button for the window postions so as not too annoy anyone who relies on this feature. I assume you want both the display team and item bar window positions?

my team display is not showing the rest of the team, it seems to only display the main character on that screen.
any ideas what would cause this?

Back in version .4, you had mentioned that strobing was causing the follow display not to update properly. Is this still the case? The follow indicator never seems to sync back up, even after over an hour of playing and the guys following using strobing.

Perhaps a feature request to occasionally resync things, and perhaps another to do a manual sync of things between the master/slaves?

Thanks for the great software, and if you need a bounty to add these features, I'd be willing to pony up some dough, or just donate if you prefer that.

Thanks again

Has it worked previously? Your team not being in the team list on the affected toon would cause this.

When you are follow strobing, the follow indicator is turned off. Otherwise the addon channel would be flooded with follow on/off messages every second.

Settings don't go out of sync by themselves and auto resync seems overkill.

You are welcome re Jamba. Feel free to donate at any time! :-)

I find the follow indicator really helpful.

I wish there were a way to link that indicator to other unit frame addon's.

Not that I don't like the Jamba team display, just looking to reduce the amount of UI clutter.

Any chances of this working with other's mods?

Jafula my team does not display at all. The first time I installed the newest release it worked, but now when I log in it doesn't even show my team as online( not even the master!)

Make sure they have the same communications channel (or change it to a custom one) then relog.
Or tried that already?

The other mod authors would have to build this into their mods.

/agree with poster

the default channel is sometimes screwed with. You can debug by looking at your chat channels ingame, key o, chat tab gl :)

Do you think there could be a way to simplify the channel configuration part ? Nearly all jamba related questions we have on the French forums are about "main shows off-line" and other similar issues with the channel. It seems this is the same here as well. I have no real trouble with this myself (if I create a new team and one toon is shown offline in Jamba I will solve the problem within a few seconds) but it's often very difficult to get newcomers to understand the issue, how to investigate it and eventually how to get it solved :P The concept of a discussion channel doesn't seem very obvious to understand at first (but it's indeed a very nice and powerful solution to the communication problem). I've thought a bit about it but can't come up with a suggestion for an easier way to do this yet. Maybe an error message upon login that says "I can't find toon X in the communication channel despite being listed in the team, please check their channel settings" ?

Good idea! I will add a toggle which turns the warning on/off and have it on by default; as having a toon offline can be a legitimate situation.

What parts of the display team? What action do you want to happen when you click on a particular part?

I would start at a whole line.
"Portrait" "Health" "Experience" "Power"
If you click anywhere on that line for a char, it selects that char.

It used to do that, and it was nice. Imgine you are in a BG and your team is spread out, you can select a person that is hurt to help heal them. You can select a person that is not near you to summon them out in the normal places. You can select a person with a bad debuff in a raid so you can fix it. It just helps so much to be able to pick a person on your team so you can do something to them.

Keybinds are fine for some people, but for things that happen once every 10-20 hours of game play, a click works for me.

well.. when i klick the name or health bar or anything related to that char i need to have him as target .. thats everything -.-

Ah I didn't think of trying that. Also how do I stop this spam when I'm in a random PuG:

You are now a passing on random loot x 10

This is in a random PuG and I can't get it to stop or let me be eligible for loot. Even after checking the option for strangers in group.

Goto to the Jamba - Core: Team options. Scroll all the way to the bottom of that and make sure that the option "Slaves Opt Out of Loot" is NOT selected. If it is selected, that is your problem. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

what about my problem ? ^^
and btw.. is there a command to invite my team ?.. i found one once but didnt work.. dont wann go to jamba and klick invite everytime ^:<

Hmmm, I might put a fix in for you, so you can click on the display team and target the character you clicked on. Will release it today, so check back in 24 hours time for a new Jamba release.

Edit: Its done. Release to come.

Ok, I guess if I'm going to PuG I should disable Jamba.

Wait, thats not good. Let's fix the problem. Was that option not selected for you?

jafula i have a similar issue, i often pug raids with several of my toons, and i have the same spam going on, whenever anyone zones in or out, or is invited to the group it spams the passing on loot garbage. Its a handy thing to notify, but it is really spammy at times. problem being, i WANT them to opt out of loot i just dont want them to spam me all afternoon about it.

Ah, thank you for explaining that. I have fixed the opt out of loot option so that it will only change when it actually needs to change. This should stop the spamming you are experiencing. Should be a new release within 24 hours.

nice nice nice thanks :D

and thanks for the command too.. got a similar but did not work -.-

Jamba 0.5i released, changes below:

General

* Text boxes associated with sliders will now cause the slider to update its value when enter is pressed.

Jamba-Proc

* Disabling the proc module from the Proc options will now work!
* Procs that you add using the GUI will now work!
* Procs no longer reappear after being deleted!

Jamba-Team

* Slaves opting out of loot will now stop telling you everytime a party member joins/leaves, party leader changes, etc.

Jamba-Display-Team

* Clicking on a toons portrait or bar in the display will target that toon.
* Team display location information is now pushed with other settings to all toons.
* Can now set the transparency of the team window.

Jamba-Item-use

Make sure you are using 0.5i. Also disable every other addon and see if it works then.

works fine :D thanks alot!
if u want some ideas how u could advance jamba in future.. i would make the display team thing a real unitframe solution with all the options other unitframes have :)

for examble the alignment of the different bars!

Since downloading the new Jamba, all the toons in my Jamba-team list are permanently offline, including the lead character. Can't group invite them or use any jamba-team actions. The only thing I changed was updating Jamba.

Change the core:communications channels on all toons. Make up your own channel name and password (no spaces) and enter this information seperately into each toons core:communications options. Seperately because these channel settings cannot be pushed. Then log out of all your toons and log them back in. Give it 30 seconds and they should all be able to see each other.

Let me know how you get on.
