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

[Jafula]

Since I leveled to 85 already, I don't have a vested interest in this getting fixed, but here's my contribution since I used it. At a minimum maybe it can help someone else:

1. When i enable jamba-quest, a big window appears in the center of the screen that I cannot move. Since I needed it, I just edited the wtf file and moved it to the upper right corner. Since I finished leveling, I have just turned it off.
2. Occasionally (very rarely) the quest tracking for who has how many of what gets out of sync. Recently I was running a quest in twilight highlands for 30 minutes before I realized that everyone had been done collecting for a while.
3. It may be that my data is stale (from older Jamba), but when I went to add the 5th to the team (old team already existed-1), I'd add the name and click the button, but nothing happened. I ended up playing the entire time with 4 synced in Jamba and 1 partially synced (new member still had the master).

Thanks for your feedback, it's appreciated.

1. There is an option in /jamba-quest which allows you to move the window.
2. Not sure I can do anything about that given its very rarely. I hope the update button helped you.
3. Several others have reported this problem (it only came to my attention yesterday), so I think it might be a bug, will be having a look at it today.

Edit: Looks like switching off "Auto Follow after combat" fixed the issue. I think both ISBoxer and Jamba were doing it after combat which was causing the error.

Hello.
I stopped multiboxing back when jamba was getting its footing and now that I'm back I decided to get ISBoxer and Jamba going since they seem like the simplest solutions for getting a team up and running.

Everything was working fine during getting everything set up but when it came time to go out and do some fighting I keep getting the following error popping up at the end of every fight but only to 2 of my characters (one of which is running nothing other than ISBoxer, Jamba, Xperl & DeadlyBossMods).

Needless to say, its making it almost impossible to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to play with "Auto follow after combat" on. Just tested it, and it still works. Make sure you are using 0.7d.

ISBoxer does not do auto follow after combat, only Jamba. It looks like Jamba is looking for the name of one of your toons and cannot find it. Have you set up your master and team correctly?

Your toons names are just made up of numbers are they?

Jafula,

Found the problem. I had not configured ISboxer correctly. What I did was instead of running the wizard, I copied an existing team and changed the players. I wanted to keep my regions and other setting in the new team, and only really change out one character.

The problem was in the character switch just like you said. I had defined a key to switch the characters, but the do mapped key was unchecked. I checked the box for do mapped key, then control, jamba master.

Thanks again for a wonderful addon, that makes 5 boxing such a joy.

Hi guys, I installed LUI and my Jamba stopped working Damn!! Here's the post I submitted to LUI forum that refers the issue:

First, thanks for this awesome UI. I've never seen something so close to what it should be. Very good!
Now, I installed LUI and spent some time configurating and learning how things work, then I went to the field to test it out with 2 of my chars. I'm multiboxing so Jamba is my absolute priority addon. It makes MBxers life so much easier.

The problem is: Jamba has a feature that changes Party Leader when changing master toon (/jamba-team iammaster all). This stopped working. I think, for some reason, LUI is preventing Jamba to contact the other clients so all the orders sent by Master are not received by the Slaves. It can't even Push Settings.

I'm posting this issue to Jamba forum aswell and I hope to see if there's some workaround or fix to this problem.

Thanks a lot for some your feedback you may give to this.

Found a solution for the problem above (LUI+Jamba):

Open the <WoW Directory>/Interface/AddOns/LUI/LUI.xml file and remove the line containing:

   <Script file="scripts\partyfix.lua"/>

Silver Tide Hollow flight path to Sandy Beach in Vash'jir does not function with Jamba. I can mouseclick broadcast it but Jamba will not process it. I get an error telling me no direct path exists for that connection or something similar. I don't go there much but just thought you should know.

Can someone else confirm whether goblin quests on the starter isle of Kezan work at all for you? I could not get Jamba to accept the master's quests at all there and had a bunch of issues getting it to complete some of them too. I just got off of Kezan to the level 6 area on Shipwreck Shore and the quests here seem to accept OK, so hopefully it was just Kezan.

Thanks, will check it out when I can.

Blizzard changed wow ages ago so that the game (not Jamba) automatically accepts quests and leaves the dialog up for quests under level 5 (or in the starting areas). It leaves the dialog up so you can read the quest text. I haven't changed Jamba to deal with this yet.

Edit: Some of the quests also might be the new in the field quests and I've only just added the new in the field complete quest mirroring into my development build.

[Jafula]

Changes in 0.7e

Quest

* Mirroring now works for the new complete quest button in the quest log and also for the "in the field" complete quest button found in the Objective Tracker as well.
* Now mirrors accept quest for quests that have been auto accepted by the game (commonly found in newbie areas < level 6).

Quest Watcher

* Will now display new "in the field" complete quest and quest offer buttons (these are similar to the buttons found in the objectives tracker).
* Objective headers now collapse when a new quest is tracked (there is currently no option to change this).

Talk

* Now able to forward via both real whispers and fake whispers.
* Fake whispers have option to add sender/forwarded to the reply queue on the master. Yay!
* New option to choose which chat window the fake whispers are sent to.
* Fixed a lua error with RealID messages.

Follow

* Made /jamba-follow snw smarter. Now it will suppress any follow warning that happens immediately after it. Precede the /jamba-follow snw command before any /follow command to get warningless refollows.

ISBoxer users - I recommend you change the "FTL follow me" macro to:

/jamba-follow snw
/follow {FTL}

Team

* New slash command /jamba-team removeall which will removeall all team members except for the current toon.

Taxi

* Fixed an error where the unable to fly message was causing a lua error.

Trade

* Fixed a small error when 0 money was being withdrawn from the guild bank.

Macro

* Can now build macros when not in a party or raid (playing solo).
