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

[TheFallenOne]

I assume that you are still using an older version because of this.

For now I'm still using the newest version and have just removed the round robin functionality, as it's not essential while I'm questing - once I hit 80 (at 74.5 right now) I'll either be downloading an old version or reworking my macros into whatever form works with the current version (since I won't be changing macros much at that point).

[Reglar]

I have a weird issue, just popped up in the last few weeks, no changes that I recall making to jamba.

I have my toons setup to purchase water and reagents when they shop. They now buy 5x as many of them as I needed. When I say 5x the number, it actually does 5 discreet buys, each time buying the amount needed.

I turned off auto-buy to see if it was another mod buying stuff - nothing bought so no other addons doing it

I deleted and re-added the items in case the data was corrupt - no change, still bought 5x what I needed.

I thought maybe there was some party multiplier going on, so dropped and logged out a character, still 5x.

I checked the .lua savedvariables and it looked ok:

            ["merchant"] = {
                ["autoBuy"] = true,
                ["autoBuyItems"] = {
                    ["|cffffffff|Hitem:44605:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:80|h[Wild Spineleaf]|h|r"] = {
                        ["tag"] = "all",
                        ["name"] = "Wild Spineleaf",
                        ["amount"] = 20,
                    },
                },
            },

I checked the purchase module LUA but nothing jumped out at me.

----

I debugged it some more, procedure ProcessMerchantShow is being invoked 5 times. I traced it back, and yes, its being invoked 5 times from the event, so I am at a loss. I checked registration and MERCHANT_SHOW is only registered once.

I guess there's some add-on conflict, I'll experiment more.

----

Update 2 - well its an interaction with ISBOXER, when I enable that mod then 5 purchases are made, if I disable it, normal 1. I'll see what I can dig up and if necessary open an ISBOXER thread on it.

----

Update 3 - I logged onto the ISBOXER chat channel, but Lax didn't have any ideas why it would happen, so back to asking anyone who has ideas...

----

Update 4 - and I found the issue, I had ISBOXER setup with a repair key sequence, and it invoked another key sequence to interact with target, both used broadcast to all, so it was chain broadcasting and each window was getting hit with 5 interact key requests. I changed it to not call the other key sequence and my issue went away.

Not sure why this wasn't happening before but just glad its fixed.

Sweet, not a problem with Jamba then, that's what I like to read!

Hi Jafula..
what a wonderful add on you've made !!
I'm amazed by your work !!

thanks for the good work...

I really do enjoy the Item buttons bar, I wish it could be used for vanity pets, mounts or even spells, which is not working atm !! If you think it's doable.. I'd be pleased by a feature like this !

again, many thanks

Hi jafula, I'm pushing this up as I'm sure you haven't saw my post.
thanks for the reply

Hi jafula, I'm pushing this up as I'm sure you haven't saw my post.
thanks for the reply

Hey, sorry I missed your post, I hear you. I wanted the item bar to be used for pets and mounts, but I couldn't do it easily at the time of writing. I can't use the item bar for spells easily as I would have to use an action bar for that, and wow only has a limited number of them, most, if not all, of which are used by addons like BarTender.

Plus, I think the item bar should be for items, not spells. Perhaps someone could make a spellbar module for Jamba if you really wanted spells.

I think that pets and mounts don't work, because they are now classed as spells, which is a shame. If I get some time, I might see if I can make something work, but please don't count on that.

I really like your suggestions (esp. the sell item on all toons idea), so if you have more, please let me know.

How did you get on with the French client and the words 'Drink' and 'Food' regarding the Jamba-Follow option that was do not strobe if eating or drinking? Did changing the words in the locale file work for you?

[king.pa]

Oh My, Jafula.. happy to help, the sell item on all toons work like a charm.. I'm pleased that you liked it and I'm very exited about this wonderfull feature which was good on paper.. but even better live !!

I'm really disapointed by the vanity pets and/or mount feature missing from the item bar, but it makes sense... those are no longer items but spells.. anyway, if you manage to get just two buttons : one for the vanity pets, and the second for the mounts, It will help synchronise and siplify the use of pets and mounts (especially when entering "parade" mode in dalaran ) : I set up a macro that cast my brewfest kodo or my GT4 flying mount and that's it .. and I have plenty of mounts .. i'd like to change once in a while without having to recreate my macro on each toon each time...

at last, I'm very happy that you're mentionning the stop of follow strobing on toons which btw don't work in the french client at all.. I've saw the locale files but haven't cheked'em out.. I'll keep you posted with the result of translating the words in the fr_FR file.

thanks again Jafula.. and If I find more other good ideas, you'll be the first to know
happy to help

My Jamba isn't working right!!
I downloaded it - it was all in one folder so i added the folder to my interface>addons folder and nothing showed up. I logged out and extracted all the folders in the one folder and put them individually in my addons folder (I did this on both of my toons that I am trying to run)
Here is the Interface options I am getting --- It looks different than the screen shot I saw from the link where I downloaded the addon.


ALSO -- On my master (at first it was on both but after i re-installed the addon it's only on my master)
this is what I see right smak in the middle of my page


I was able to remove the item bar after taking the screen shot but the two bars that have my toons name are still there.

what am i doing wrong!!!

[Khatovar]

I don't really see a problem with the GUI for Jamba, that's the way it's supposed to look.

Since you didn't specifically ask any questions other than "What am I doing wrong"...

/em starts psychic mode

For the Items and Team boxes ALT+Drag to move them.

Jamba > Display: Team > to resize, hide and otherwise alter the appearance of the TEAM window.

Jamba > Item Use > to do likewise for the ITEM bar

ESC > Keybindings > *scroll scroll scroll scroll* Jamba-Item-Use to set keybindings for the ITEM bar. Do this on BOTH toons.

/em ends psychic mode.

According to the link I found where I downloaded Jamba, (the link on these forums took me to a page that had the download and this link) under getting started shows the add on looking like


Now, im not the most computer friendly person - but if the page that i downloaded the add from tells me this is what it's supposed to look like - thats the only thing i expect it to look like - maybe the pic is outdated or... what i thought, was i screwed up - i explained my steps so when i asked "what am i doing wrong?" i meant am i doing anything wrong in process, but i digress.

I toyed around with it a little and found how to disable the boxes that were in my way but thank you for telling me how to move them (another reason i thought something was wrong was i didnt know to alt+click)

sorry for causing psychic mode --- hey i already knew about key bindings *grins innocently*

The picture on the website is quite out of date. Your addon is fine.
