Hi there, love the addon, wish Id had something like this back in the day when I 6 boxed EQ. Im not sure if this has been asked in the past or not, or if its even possible, but could there be a way to have jamba notify of a break or have a timer on the mains screen for Polymorph, Hex etc? Since the word about CC being big in Cata, Ive been practicing it, and have come to realize that in a simple extra pull or what ever I can easily keep tabs on it, but when I have a large amount of mobs with lightning bolts, missiles and shields flying everywhere, I do tend to lose track of time and end up with a very whooped up mage hehe.

If anyone knows of an already existing addon that does this, please let me know, would love to have it

Thanks in advance for any info provided

There is a good one called CCwatcher that I use.

Well I can only get 16 or so on the team list at one time now, I used to be able to get them all in (36). It goes up to 16 then when new people on the team list get logged in it collapses back to the lead character and then adds the new log ins and the old ones are lost.

What has changed in the last updates to cause this? What did you use before the communication channel?

Is there some setting I should be looking at more carefully?

Is there more information I can give you?

Nothing has changed. If you have been using any of the 0.5+ series successfully then nothing has changed. Before 0.5 (the communications channel) I didn't use a communication channel.

Jamba uses two different communication methods. The communication channel you configure with a username and password is only used to see what team members are online / offline. Everytime a toon comes online Jamba joins it to the chat channel. When a toon goes offline a toon leaves the channel. This way other toons can query the channel list to see who is online.

Before this system I just assumed all the toons in your team list were online. Back then, some folks didn't update their team list everytime it changed and they would complain of "player not found" messages. The communication channel I added fixes this issue.

Given this is a regular chat channel, I cannot imagine that Blizzard has limited it to 16 players.

The addon channel is where Jamba sends follow status updates, quest commands, taxi commands, etc.

Righto, just because I haven't changed anything does not mean that Blizzard haven't changed the way things work.

Question Time:

Sam, have you changed the channel to be your own? Do all your toons have the same channel setup? What do you mean 16 only on the team list? Surely you can add all 36 onto the team list? What do you mean by collapse?

Jamba does not do this at the moment, but I would like it do so for the 1.0 release!

I can't guarantee that I'll work on this, but at least its on the "todo" list.
