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

[Jafula]

I have a feeling that im not utlizing most of the features of Jamba, but only because I don't know how to. I can't find instructions that tell you how to use it. What does "FTL" stand for and do? How about <tag>? Is there a way to autoinvite your group when loading the game? How about automatically enable strobing when loading the game?

I have to write my own addon bits and pieces to accomplish some of these things for me which makes me wonder if maybe I am just not seeing that it's already built into Jamba. I have searched the forums and google but am not finding much info.

Jamba toons have tags. By default all toons have the 'all' tag. You can add your own tags to toons. Any slash command that takes a <tag> as a parameter will send that command to all toons that have the tag. Toons without the tag will not get the command.

You can invite your team by using the slash command

version 0.4:
/jamba-group invite

version 0.5
/jamba-team invite

There is no option to automatically invite the team when the game loads, nor is there an option to automatically turn on follow strobing when the game loads either.

Thanks for your response. I did finally find a page that explains a few things. The problem is that Jamba is such a great addon, that information for it is kind of spread around all over the place, and much of it is out of date. I did finally find your page with up to date information.

I was actually the one to write the original "Multiboxer" addon, and I still tweak it to accomplish a few things like auto-inviting and what not. Keep up the good work on Jamba, I was torn between working on my addon and playing the game. Obviously playing the game won out

Sorry about that; the documentation will be getting a lot of love before I officially release 0.5.

Thanks for writing the Multiboxer addon, it was a great inspiration for Jamba!

I know Ver .4 is almost gone, but I have noticed the Jamba-Quest box will not abandon a quest. I am doing something wrong or maybe the add-ons.

Abandon quest (0.4) works for me. Some things to check:

1. Jamba is enabled on all your toons.
2. All your toons are in the team list and enabled.
3. The option 'Mirror Master Abandon Quest' in Jamba-Quest is checked.
4. All your toons have exactly the same settings.

Let me know how you get on.

I was using Jamba version (F) and the Abandon quest function was not working. I downloaded the (G) version and it is working now.
You may try the G version if you dont have it installed.

For those that are interested I've released 'Jamba-Macro' for some testing.

trying to use Jamba with IS/ISboxer. now the ISBoxer i can get to use in the basic form. and can do quite a bit with it with the basics. but i followed the " up and running with WOW in 30 seconds video. i ran the quick wizard and did the exact same thing Lax did and nothing more. but my outcome was alot different than his.

My groups didnt join up and follow automatically, and therefore couldnt assist. I could turn mouse and keymaps on and off, make all the other toons jump, etc. but the invite wouldnt work, and of course the accept didnt either.

so, im not sure what the hell i am doing wrong, but ive been playing with this for 3 days.

Jamba needs to be aquired to make the auto follow/assist/join things to work i take it. my question is what do i do with Jamba? i unzipped the folder called jamba into the proper WOW folder, but what confused me was the directions told me to do that for each character, master and slave. thats where i am totally lost and need it explained to me like I am 2.

I am thinking that because i dont have jamba in right, that my follow/join/assist/etc wont work right. any help would be appreciated. and as for my ramblings up til this point, if i dont make sense, please ask questions. i dont explain things very good sometimes.

Thanks in advance.

Hey and welcome to the forums!

From your post, I'm not sure that you have your team set up correctly:

http://wow.jafula.com/addons/1-jamba...ure-your-group

This lets your team members trust each other (and thus be able to communicate).

To invite your group; type

/jamba-group invite

on your master toon.

Once this is set up correctly, you should be able to get them to follow the master by typing this command on the master character.

/jamba-follow master all

With quests, you need to open the quest dialog from the NPC on each character before you start doing actions on your master. Your slave toons should mirror the master actions.

Hope that helps a bit, please post if you are still having trouble.

when i follow Lax's video on how easy it is to use the quick wizard and immediately have a fuctional group in 30 seconds. i have followed that video, and wizard identically. and there is automatically a keyset to invite the group. i checked the macro and all the names are correct and all. but when i hit that key, it does nothing.

After playing around with this for a few days, i can only assume that i didnt install Jamba correctly. I followed your directions to unzip it in the WoW, interface/addons folder. so now in that folder i have a Jamba folder and a ISBoxer folder. is that correct? and if so, why doesnt the predetermined key work like it does in the video?

I know i could get this thing running with my group without using all of these newer features. i used to play EQ and ran a 5 man team there for awhile. But all of these newer features seem real nice and would make alot of things easier once i get the problem figured out.

oh, and btw...nice idea on your addon and what it does. i saw the video and was floored on how i could just switch toons and the rest would just follow whichever group member i chose without any hastle.

If Lax would explain in a little more detail what he does and what needs to be pressed and what to do to get a certain result he is trying to show.
thanks
