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

[Jafula]

About evey 3-5 mins I get a LUA error window from jamba.

Any clues on how to fix this?

Nope, what's the error?

[moosejaw]

cool, I didn't even realize there was a bandwidth issue. In the meantime I have a macro set up so when I open bags each toon just says it to the party channel and I just quickly total it up. (thanks to Natch on irc).

/run OpenAllBags()
/run SendChatMessage("[Money Pouch] contains "..(GetMoney()/10000).." gold.", "PARTY");

That is so darn handy it should be patented.

I've been working on Jamba-Proc as part of 0.5 and I'm reasonably happy with what I have come up with. I still need to write the config gui, but as you can see from the screenshot it is working ...

I configured it to say 'Free Exorcism' when Art of War procs.

holy crap that is amazing

Oh, this will be nice. Our 10-box team has several sets of multiple toons and I was trying to hobble together a way for my husband to be able to tell which of his warlocks gets a Nightfall proc. How configurable will it be? Right now I have Mik's set up to tell me not only when I gain certain procs/auras, but when I use/lose one. IE Maelstrom x5 > Maelstrom Spent! Mor Earthshield plx!

The configuration has the following: the name of the spell as it appears in the combat log, the text you want to display and a tag (all, slave, master, paladin, etc).

Each time a toon gets the proc, the tag is checked to make sure that this toon can send a message. If the toon has the tag that relates to the proc, then a message is sent to an predefined proc message area (currently there is 1 area for all the procs but this could be changed).

So far it is proc gain / refresh only.

The proc message area is configurable - it can be a party chat, private channel, raid warning or a scroll area in Parrot or a scroll area in MSBT.

Currently the display format is toonname - message.

I hope to release a 0.5 alpha soon and get some feedback on this.

Hi Jafula,

When the 3.0 went out, the new vehicle system broke the follow function.. this was really annoying.
they released a tiny patch weeks later enabling the follow of a toon on vehicle.. pretty handy..

but, remember, the way the follow was coded the main char was always following him/herself until you released a patch to enhance this... and it was really good

Now 3.2 is out and I'm encountering this bug again, the main char IS actually following itself (again) when on a vehicle
I'm using this kind of FTL follow/focus setup :

/focus [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Celestis;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]Celestîs;
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]Celestïs;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]Célèstis;
[nomod]player
/follow focus

any idea how to disable the "self-following" annoyance when on a vehicle ?
thanks

[Bettysue]

The easiest way to prevent self follow is to remove the toons name from the follow macro, for instance say you had the macro you posted on the character Celestis, you would remove

[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Celestis

or if you use something like keyclone or HKN to send the modifiers to the alts but not the main then put your "targetting" macro on a bar somewhere, and then make the follow macro something like

/clearfocus
/click [mod] MultiBarRightButton1
/follow focus

that would click the top right button on the right side bars

and that button would have the following macro from your example

/focus [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Celestis;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]Celestîs;
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]Celestïs;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]Célèstis;
[nomod]player

I'm still getting the crash when the main takes a FP but the slaves don't. I wasn't able to reliably reproduce it. I'll keep working at it.

I'd taken a temporary pause in true mb'ing while waiting for 3.2 and cheap mounts. Now that 3.2 is here I'm actively controlling 3 toons.

Previously, I used to get quest status updates on the master in the default chat when the slaves progressed on a quest, be it killing mobs or looting items. It was very helpful to know whether or not the slave actually had accepted the quest, and their progress without having to glance at the second monitor when they loot something!

Since I started up again, these notifications are gone. I've made sure that "Quest Silently" is turned off in my jamba options, and none of my jamba options have changed except I've added a 3rd toon to the team (was just two toons before).

Any idea what option might be causing the total lack of quest progress messages?
