Hi Jafula,
Thanks for the updates!
I'm currently using Jamba as my full time MB mod, keeping Multiboxer2 for 3 things:
- the autofollow when combat ends
- the constant display of the /follow status of my slaves (green if on /follow, red if not)
- the messages from the slaves (exampe: "not in range", "you are mounted", "Quillboard tusk: 24/60", "Discovered Veil Lilthic" and what not.)
All in all, great job on the addon.
Just wanted to say thanks and that Jamba rocks :thumbsup: !
I used to use twoboxtoolkit but I'm switching to this. I love Jamba-Repair/Sell for instance
For the throttling/spam/msg issue you could consider using ace chat lib which I think handles/makes sure you don't exceed too many msgs/sec across multiple addons (which use ace)
To add to the long wish list you already have:
Some integration with WIM (Wow instant messenger, a really nice addon to manage chats; including full history; across toons) would be nice (such as I can use my main WIM to handle replying to chat sent to slaves)
Thanks again for a great addon; I hope you find the energy to keep maintaining/improving it
ps: this needs to be stickied and in the list of recommended addons
Hmm...I'll go out on a limb and say I'm making some noob mistake or have a conflicting addon, but I cannot for the life of me get this working. I have yet to make it past the Jamba-Core instructions. I'll go update my mods and double-check spelling and such.
[edit] OK, got it working. Apparently, if you screw up and get the "add member" list out of sync somehow, you have to delete 'em all and start over. No idea what it's doing but it's working now. I'll report back if it becomes an issue while setting up my other groups.
[edit2] Heh...regardless, I love you just for the "group abandon quest" mechanic. http://l00py.net/phpbb/images/smiles/hug.gif
OK, lets start by saying NICE JOB!!!!!
This is a great addon, may need a bit of polish, but so far so good.
Only ran a few dailies but I'm liking it. Especially the vendor mod, I run a mixed group and am always forgetting to buy this or that reagent. Problem solved. That by itself makes it worth having.
I also like the raid warnings for breaking follow, low hp/mana, and getting hit the first time (nice idea, not spammy, but still lets you know your alt is getting attacked). I don't even know if it is possible, but I would like to be able to color code the raid warnings by class, or be able to assign colors to them based off what slave sends them. Is it even possible?
I'm going to second, third, fourth, whatever the idea of setting loot to FFA. I was always forgetting to do that before I found multi-boxer.
Also, checking the memory usage with PerformanceFu, this one is running pretty light, nice for people that are pushing their computers already.
Overall, great job! /bow, /clap, /cheer
Keep up the good work.
[EDIT}[s] After rebooting I was unable to use the Pause or PiP functions of Keyclone while running this addon. I have the default <pause> for pause, and F1, F2, and F3 for my PiP. Once I disabled Jamba, and rebooted keyclone and WoW, both functions started working again. For me, Pause and PiP are MUSTHAVE options to play (playing on a laptop so I run one large window, and two very small windows).
Like I said above, you have a great start, just need to polish it up a bit. Keep going, this is a good addon.[/s]
[EDIT 2] OK, must have been a coincidence because I've tried to replicate the error, and no dice. Or I should say, no error. :D
I would personally be happy with a window that simply showed item links, item levels would be a bonus...Quote:

I guess another feature that would be handy along with this would be "vital stats", for example it may make more sense to give an item to slave3 because it will bring his spell crit and +dmg closer to the others...
Thanks for the feedback, I'll have to play with this this weekend...
Looks very nice indeed. I am trying it out now with my 5 box.
I love the vendor intergration I use a mod called Steal Your Carbon that is pretty outstanding. The one feature I like about it that sets it apart is the auto upgrade water autobuy.
I will second a request for autofollow after combat.
The GUI window from Multiboxer is pretty invaluable.
Thanks for the work you have put into this, it is much appreciated.
Just a few quick notes while I am using it.
1. Auto accept rez would be great
2. The warnings are a bit spammy. The following warning sometimes triggers after battle this might have to do with me using auto follow after combat on the Multiboxer mod.
3. I love /rw chat but would also like to see MSBT or SCT intergration as well.
All in all its looking very good so far
small bug report: I have the latest (0.1a) installed and I'm currently soloing a toon and each time its mana or HP goes down I get an Ace Chat error about sending whisper to a unexisting character... I don't have any master configured so I'm not sure who is it trying to send to... in any case I think it should work without any alts logged in
thanks
edit: exact message is "...ce\AddOns\Jamba\Libs\AceComm-3.0\ChatThrottleLib.lua:420:SendAddonMessage():Whi sper message missing target player!
same happens at vendor; so I guess somehow it's not able to even print normal messages on the console (the usual "sold..." msg are missing)
(so I guess you do use Acecomm, that's the good news :-) )
Thank you everyone for the feedback; I'm busy soaking it all up.Regarding slaves auto accepting shared quests from Master in Mutilboxer - does this functionality in multiboxer also auto accept any quest (if a slave interacts with a quest giver npc); or just shared quests from the master? If it is the former, then Jamba does this, you just need to turn the option on in Jamba-Quest: Slave Auto Accept Quest; if it is the later, then I'm impressed!Quote:

The raid warning is just the raid warning functionality baked into wow. I'm think I could write something similar that was coloured; I think I'd prefer the colour based off what the slaves send (with perhaps the slaves name being class coloured). I'll add this idea to the list.Quote:

That is so bizarre that you get problems with a wow addon and keyclone. Hmmm, has anyone else had this problem (thesavagetony reported something similar)? If you reboot again and enable Jamba, does it still happen? If its still a problem for you, can you PM me your keyclone/maximiser setup and a list of addons you run on each instance of wow and I'll see if I can reproduce your problem.
Ok, I never thought anyone would run this addon without a master! I'll make some changes so its happy in this case. If you select a master, your errors will go away (but I think you figured that out already).Quote:

Here is the list of things I plan to do for version 0.2. You can see the full future release candidate list if you wish.
Version 0.2 "My father worked with a horse plough"- ETA: ?
The Goal for 0.2
The idea with Jamba is that if you have multiple groups, you should be able to add all the characters you'll ever play into Jamba and then use the /jamba screen; and enable the ones that are currently in your group and disable the ones that are not. Hopefully the only ones that are enabled are online, so when you push the settings for Jamba (core) to your other characters, they all get the same setup and you are ready to go. Also, Zub's idea for automatically creating a group invite list.
Jamba
* Add an option to set the master/main as the focus on startup. [Zub]
* Add a script option to set focus to the master. [Zub]
* Add functionality to allow the master to be changed via script; like "/jamba setmaster Yasham" which will change the master on the character that called and broadcast the master change to all the other characters (and change focus if the option is set). [Jafula]
* If no master is set, then use self for messages. [Moorea]
* Make sure Jamba works without any alts logged in. [Moorea]
* Add option to silence all messages to the master. [Jafula]
* Add option to silence all messages to self. [Jafula]
* Add note to the gui: about case-sensitivity of names. [Abyssal]
* After adding a member, enable that member by default. [Moorea]
* Make sure that self is always on the list. [Moorea]
* If self is the only character on the list, then set self as the master. [Moorea]
Jamba-Group
* Add an option to automatically set to group loot to Free-for-all (/ffa). [Zub]
* Add a script command to invite whoever is on the list of toons (enabled) to create the group. [Zub]
Jamba-Merchant
* Add auto-upgrade water option. [Fizzler]
* Add auto-upgrade food option - user can specify lookup list; i.e lvl 15 - Moist Cornbread, lvl 25 - Mulgore Spice Bread, etc. Prepopulate list with common foods. Make sure don't overlap on different food types - i.e. want a total of 40 food, but end up with 40 cheese and 40 bread. Pet food? Still in wotlk? [Jafula]
* I'd like to drag and drop non grey items to auto sell (for instance on some alts I end up selling claws, food, etc... a bunch of white stuff I don't feel like auctioning for coppers of profit and need the bag space more) [Moorea]
Jamba-Warning
* Don't complain about following breaking if not in combat (i.e falling damage). [Tiffany]
New: Jamba-Follow
* Move follow breaking warning from Jamba-Warning to Jamba-Follow (refactor warning handlers to core). [Jafula]
* Add an option to specify the text when follow breaks - default to "Follow Broken". [Maat]
* Automatic /follow from the slaves to the master when exiting combat. [Zub]
* Follow strobe: Needs to be fleshed out: The way I currently have mine setup (as an autoexec script in my rdx implementation) is with /script fzStart("name"), fzStop(), fzStart()... this allows for starting to follow a new main, stopping follow, and restarting follow on the existing target. Currently my implimentation strobes a follow command once per second, this is great for situations that break follow such as fear [zanthor]
* Maybe I'll do this one in 0.2 - not so sure as it requires a GUI: The constant display of the /follow status of my slaves (green if on /follow, red if not) [Zub]
Documentation
* Document script options for all modules. [Jafula]
* Update Jamba-Group doc and screen shot ( the change from Friends to Members). [Jafula]
