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

[Moorea]

putting back some suggestion I made in the macro thread:

the communication channel thing seems broken (I haven't upgraded to 0.5c yet maybe it's better/fixed) - toons go offline/online randomly - I think the work around I found is to use your own channel and password but setting that is inconvenient - I'm wondering also if the channel / pass is a security hazard (can someone make your alt do something or at minimum snoop on you if they are in the channel ?) - could you replace that with pairing UI like bluetooth for instance - or just an initial setup command - when you want to add toons together in team for the first time:

/jamba-setup master <optionalpassword>
typed once in the master would generate an 8 digits random number and show it on screen if you haven't specified one and enter pairing mode

/jamba-setup slave <mastername> <password>

would talk to the master and send it (privmsg) the password and pair

that way a new team addition is just typing 2 command (the second one is broadcasted to everybody so it's really done quick - would help with not having to type all the slaves anyway)

what do you think?

I think this might be used more so out of party/raid where he has private channels that people cannot hijack. i am thinking of ungrouped boosting.

This could be done. Its not a high priority for me as its a bit of work as I would have to add special methods to send information that bypass the team online checks.

The communication channel is only used to see which toons in your team are online, it cannot be used to make your toons do anything.

Anyway, here is a ticket for your suggestion; at least you know its on the todo list now.

jamba can still use a channel instead of pair wise communication after that setup but the command and method I suggested is about to pick said channel and boostrap the team list effetively - the party addition is nice too but typically on a new team I setup jamba first and then jamba-team invite - so I'd like to do all that with 2 commands as above or similar

I had a team
Toon1 slave
Toon2 master
-- No other toons in the ilist

When I click the SHOW button on the macro /assist #Master# - it showed this as
/assist toon3

Ie it was translating master to a toon name I didnt have
I believe this was due to me removeing the toon3 who was marked as master - it appears as if that toon is rememberd as the master even when I set different toons to master

When I added toon3 back in it was slave/offline -but the problem went away

You need to rebuild the macros after you have changed masters. Jamba-Macro does not automatically rebuild macros.

cool, thanks, when do you plan to get the first release available through curse (that'd be very handy as most of my other addons are there and I use curse client)

How do I move the two windows that show up? One is labeled "Items", I cannot find an option to unlock it or move it from the center of the screen. All I can do is just not display it. The other is the Jamba Team box. I can't move it either. Ugh, help! Otherwise it is a great program.

[Greythan]

Hold "alt" while left clicking to move. Just figured that out myself.

[cyankee]

Thanks. That did it.
