Downloaded today and it works great! I love how much this helps with everything. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I am a Jamba fan.

Ok, 0.2 development is pretty much done; just got to test the lot and write some docs, so I'll try and have it released before the weekend.

You now have control over where the warnings and chat that comes from your toons go. Pushed this forward from 0.3.

Warnings dialog.

What happens when you have all the warning options on (its real spammy).

That's all for now.

Hey Jaf, first off thanks for this imba addon, it definitely made multiboxing a breeze.
I ran into the same issue with quest reward selection and something that I didnt see mentioned is that it looks like the addon is misreading quest info (or one of my addons is causing it to do so). I say this because I see chat messages from Jamba saying 'Choices: 0', 'Choices: 2' etc when i'm about to complete the quest and yet some times that info is wrong, eg it's a quest with a gold reward yet I see 'Choices: 2' in my chat messages.

I am using QuestAnnouncer, Lightheaded(on Master only) and DoubleWide for questing, should I try disabling all 3 of them and see if the problems persist?

Sure, if you wouldn't mind disabling those addons and trying. Then we could narrow the problem down to Jamba (or wow api) or an addon. Did you see my mobmap comment above? There are other non-quest addons that like to read the quest information as well (as I discovered).

Can you remember if the choices were ever wrong when there was a choice? E.g. its a quest with a choice of rewards and you see 'Choices: 0'.

(I'm wondering if the quest info is updated properly from the api when there are no reward choices. I'll have a closer look at Blizzards quest code and see if I can match what they do exactly.)[/s]

Enthusiastic!
I'm not letting 0.2 out the door the same way I did 0.1! It's not released yet, give it a couple of days... I'll post in this thread when it is released.

I hope 0.2 fixes some of the bugs I've been experiencing lately.
It seems that Jamba sort of hangs on my slaves, and reloading UI doesn't always help either.
Symptoms: I first register the problems when delivering a quest, and the choices aren't being transmitted/copied by my slaves. Then, when I try to broadcast some settings, no feedback. After a few minutes (if I don't bother relogigng or reloading UI(whishc someitmes help)), I get update messages on my slaves.

It sure does. The delay on slaves has been reported and its mainly due to other addons parsing the quest log and calling wow api quest selection routines (some of them buggily as in the mobmap example previous).

Jamba (0.2) is smarter now and works around these other addons and will only send a select quest command if the quest name has changed.

So jamba sends the "select quest A" command once and won't send another "select quest A" command. If the master selects quest B, then Jamba will send a "select quest B" command, but only once. And now another "select quest A" command could be sent (but will only be sent once).

Also quest log functions are now only broadcast to the slaves if the master has the quest log open.

Another fix is that Jamba now only sends quest commands to the slaves, where as before, the master also got the command (redundant and wasteful).

I'm confident the fixes above will solve most of the problems. But, there may be an addon out there that still conflicts.

If you want to help, you can PM me a list of all your addons and I can (try to) check them for compatibility with 0.2.

I would love to see the messages on slaves screen. I dunno how I mean the messages like " you are facing the wrong direction" while trying to cast something to a mob, "skin failed" , "mine failed". These types of warning.

And something i experienced this weekend. My slaves were very slow on accepting quests.After my main accepts the quests it takes 30 to 45 secs for my slaves .This didnt happen before and I am using "quest silently".

Thx for all great effort. And PM me if you want to beta test your new version.
