[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Version 5.4.0 release thread.

[Gidaeon]

So a bug I ran into, somewhat self induced, caused me a bit of pain today. Somehow, not really thinking about it I had dropped a spell from my spellbook onto the itemuse bar. Now I have a team of 5 monks (1 bm, 1 mw, 3 ww) and the spell I dropped I don't think they all had, or maybe they all had slightly different versions (monks have a lot of that). I don't actually recall which it was, but the end result was my BM became basically unusable with a massive rate of LUA errors (the count was spinning up into the thousands on the same final error). Something about a bad spell id. In either case. A bit of playing around and I find it's not that hard to recreate the problem. It seems the itemuse bar doesn't do very sanity checking when spells/items are dropped or pushed out to the team and a bad item can cause a serious error loop.

I found that I had issues with item use and had to disable it.. toons were breaking follow it sent my system crazy.. anyway I turned off every addon one by one.. to find it was that one aspect of Jamba.

Sorry you guys are having issues. The item bar is a complex beast. I agree the spells aspect of it is lacking in validation. I though items were mostly okay from my testing. If you ever get the problem happening again, you can use the command

/jamba-item-use clear

to clear the item bar of all items for the current character. I suggest broadcasting the command to all your characters at the same time.

I find it a little weird that the item bar was causing your toons to break follow. Maybe if they were getting plenty of lua errors it might cause them to freeze up and the lag makes them stop following. The clear command above should stop the errors in that case as well.

Hey no problem the addon is really awesome and I can survive without item use
