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

[DrChaos]

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.

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...

.....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

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?

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...

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 " :

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 ?

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
