Looks very nice, Ill try it out over the next few days. Since I hassled Smurphy, I guess Ill hassle you to for an enhancment request....

Macro Inserts.
Basically allows you to write a macro using a variable to replace a character slot (ordered by how it is seen from the masters UI) and then inserts the correct character name into the macro (on the slaves) when the group is formed. See http://www.threedruidnoob.com/2008/09/perfect-mod.html for more detail about what I was personally after

eg.
Master is Tank and see's the following
Tank
DPS1
DPS2
DPS3
Heal

Therefore P1 when used in a macro would be replaced with Tank, P2 with DPS1, P3 DPS2 etc...
SO the "Template" Macro would look like
/cast [target=P1] heal
When the group is formed (or a command is executed) it would change it to :
/cast [target=Tank] heal

No doubt you would have to have some way of writing the macro from the mod and inserting it into a particular macro slot.

Wow, I have a huge problem. I log onto my main, I dont even need to have my other guys on at this point, but its SPAMMING something about all of my other guys already being on my friends list and then I get kicked off after 2 seconds or so. I cant even configure it. >_>

I had the same idea but you did a much better job writing up the description. This would be an AMAZING tool for mboxing. Would make re-macroing so much simpler. But anyways, awesome job on the addon again. Hope to get trade windows soon. :P

Also, when you hit Set defaults on all settings, it makes the window come out of Maximized from Keyclone and become a normal window.

looks very nice gonna try this tonight

did i understand correct ? with this i have to chose the quests rewards and it does other talking what master cha selects ?

Sounds like a good thing. I will check it out as soon as I get home.

Auto flying alone is worth the mod, maybe the vendoring module works for me as well :-)

I'm sorry that is happening for you. I've tried to reproduce it; but cannot get it to happen. Could you try Jamba as the only addon loaded for that character and and see if that fixes the problem?

The only reason the feature that is causing you issues exists is for Jamba to know when you characters are connected. This isn't strictly necessary; so if people are having issues with it, I'll pull it out.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone not having this problem?

Also, when you hit Set defaults on all settings, it makes the window come out of Maximized from Keyclone and become a normal window.

Did you manage to get the spamming issue sorted? Are you refering to the push to characters for the settings? Thats really unusual behaviour; there is nothing in Jamba that alters window settings. Hmm...

Make sure every character has every other character set up in its member list and enabled and they all have the same master. Let me know if you are still having problems; the spamming is definitely solvable if its still an issue.

[Jafula]

Playing around with it... quite amazing so far!

Very simple to set up, seems well polished also.

One note: the "push to other characters" , does it only take effect when you relog? ( because when I Push my settings, it doesn't show any difference on the alts screens )

Thanks!

When you push the settings; your slaves should print a message to the default chat like "Jamba-Quest settings updated successfully". The changes take effect immediately, you should be able to see the changes happen if you have the options open on your slaves.

Can you check that:

• all your characters have the same member list;
• and that all the characters on the member list are enabled (ticked);
• and all have the same master (including the master)

Please get back to me if you this process still is not working for you.

[quote='Zub',index.php?page=Thread&postID=115564#po st115564]I'll have a go as well, i like the name ;-)

just curious, do you intend to keep playing/updating this addon for a while (i.e. Wotlk+) ?
Thanks
-Zub[/quote]Yes, yes and yes! I'm torn between working on Jamba, playing my 5 characters to get them to 70 before Wotlk and sleep. :whistling: [quote='Zub',index.php?page=Thread&postID=115566#po st115566]Had a quick browse through the doc, didn't see this anywhere.
Is it possible to set the master/main as 'focus' ? and broadcast choices (flights/rewards) from / whispers to the focus?[/quote]I could add an option in Jamba-Core to set focus on each character to be the master on start up (perhaps a script option to reset focus to master as well - will only take effect out of combat). As the broadcast always goes to the master, will this be enough for you? Do you have a specific reason to broadcasting to focus as opposed to the master?

I intend to add functionality to allow the master to be changed via script; like "/jamba setmaster Yasham" which will change the master on the character that called and broadcast the master change to all the other characters (and change focus if the option is set).[quote='alfa',index.php?page=Thread&postID=115664#p ost115664]looks very nice gonna try this tonight

did i understand correct ? with this i have to chose the quests rewards and it does other talking what master cha selects ?[/quote]Yes, you did, you need to make sure you have the quest giver open on all the characters before you start on the master.

How bout a system for displaying proc on alts. As in, when one of your slaves procs nightfall, it gives your brain the warning. Doable under current scripting restrictions?[/quote]I'm in two minds about adding a system for buff warnings (I can see party buffs using X-Perl unit frames); but if I do this, I don't see why I can't try to add procs to this. I'll have to investigate some more; just having a quick look it seems there are [url='http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11894/']some[/url] mods that do this (not sure that they are multiboxer friendly).
