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

Thanks so much for the updates, it works really well, the only problem that I'm having is slaves not turning in the quest when master does, anyone else with same issue?

I didn't notice anything wrong when I was completing quests the other day? Are you still having this problem?

I'm having a similar problem - well, maybe I'm not too sure how the quests work with Jamba: I currently have to turn in the quest with each character individually... should I also be able to pick up quests at the same time?

By default, quests only turn in individually when there is more than one reward choice. You can override this behaviour. As for selection / accepting, you should be able to open the npc on all your toons and then do the actions with the master. The slaves should mirror the masters behaviour.

I don't know if this has to do with Jamba, or just the new patch... but it seems that escort quests are hosed. I've done 3 back to back in Darkshore on my new team and only the main toon gets credit for the escort. I've done them repeatedly and it's the same thing every time.

Jamba is allowing the alts to auto-accept the quest when the master picks it up, so I don't know if it's Jamba's fault or not. This is really annoying as I've escorted Remtravel 3 times and can't get the alts to complete it. But every time, the master completes just fine.

This could just be a bug in 3.2. Anyone else see this?

So I didn't see any fix / solution / reply to the issue of WoW crashing to the desktop when one of the toons takes a taxi.

I've had this happen a lot, and I'm terrible at not updating addons, so I'm not sure which version this was. I just updated everyone last night to the newest version, so I'll be able to experiment tonight with this.

But what was hapenning was this:

Group standing at FP. Main has group members enabled. Main takes FP. all 4 slaves crash to the desktop. ( slaves don't have FP window open, or are somewhere else in the world)
Group standing at FP. Main has group members DISabled (/jamba solo). Main takes FP. all 4 slaves stand there (working as intended).

This also happens when any other group member takes a FP, the main will sometimes not crash, but all the other slaves DO crash. As far as I can tell, if the toons don't have the FP window open, and the main (or any other toon) takes a FP, wow will crash. I didn't save any of the reports but it was generic 132 wow crashes. Like I said, I updated to the newest version last night, so I'll make sure I'm still current and test it out tonight to see if it's still there and give you some detailed steps on what I'm doing to cause it.

It only seems to happen on certain servers or is very intermittent. I've never been able to reproduce. I'm going to add some code into Jamba-Taxi to check for the taxi window being open before trying to fly. Hopefully that will fix the problem....

I was seeing this prior to the patch. Escorting that turtle all the way across Tanaris to only have half of them get credit made me have a PMS moment. I just turned off auto-accept quests and have the slaves mirror the master choices instead. Then have a SLAVE start the escort, and my master clicks the "Yeah, lemme do this escort, too" dialogue, with the other slaves mirroring that click. Haven't had the no-credit issue since.

It's probably not Jamba, I show that I've got the quest on everyone in nQuestLog and in the default log, I just don't get completion credit.

Interesting. I never saw this before, but I was powerleveling/RAF'ing my accounts up. This is the first time I've quested a team up. Although the escort quests in instances never bugged out for me. Hmm.

Oh well, I'll try what you suggested. Thanks.

Its the way Blizzard do escort quests. You need to not auto-accept escort quests (Jamba cannot tell the difference between escorts and normal). On the slaves, do not open the npcs dialog. Just open the dialog on the master. Start the quest. If you have auto-accept escorts quests check in the Jamba-Quest options, all the slaves will automatically join the masters quest. Otherwise you will have to click the Join Quest dialog manually on each slave.
