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

[arpy]

First thanks again for a perfect Multiboxsolution like Jamba.And sorry for my bad English
And thanks for the way to "communicate" with Jamba...ive messed around with it and my Gameprogress is really loooow since Jamba-Api is born.

There are two Main-Tasks for every Multiboxer; How to steer my Team and how to Aim with them...and its not hard to Know how, but how to use the Physics and the Philosophie of FTL wih elegance

For everything else..all this little Itchi-and scratchy like Questprogressing, Macrosharing, Tradingstuff, Whisperforwarding or anything else...all becomes really tasty with Jamba.

But my Question is...what about Jamba-Target?

Ive more than 100 Addons (mostly small and simple and with Libs, not every addon is Permanent active...) but no one helps really in Multitargetmanaging....exept the GPC-IngameMod with some small modifications.

Now im progressing on a Active-Target-Management-System with "Splitting" my Team into a really fast switchable and Rolebased system, my Opinion is to got a Global solution for Targetmanaging.

Hard to explain, like FTL, it needs to "free your Mind", and my Progressing on it is nearly 50%....now i need a Visual-Design and im not a Designer....but let me show a Screenshot, it may be easyer to explain..



The Concept is targetsharing- assistment without a fixed Target, its nearly Irrelevant who is targetting who, every Teammember share the same Targetlist and may automatically Switch into another Assistmentrole if another member becomes Unavailable (Dead,Offline,Sheeped,Controlled...)

...i think i start a new Thread...

I was helping a friend to set up his home wireless network the other day, so there was a button on his wireless access point you had to press in order to easily add a new computer to the network and this gave me an idea for Jamba about a problem that has been raised quite often recently.

Let's suppose you want to create a new team from scratch. I thought it would be nice if you could do the following :
- add all your toon into the same party/raid
- configure Jamba to fit your needs on your master toon
- open jamba settings on all toons (/jamba)
- on all slaves, press a "accept a new master" button, a 60s counter starts
- on the master screen, press a "send an allegiance request"
- new teams is formed. Also Jamba automatically pushes settings from the master to all new slaves.

Icing on the cake : implement two new key bindings so one can create new teams within seconds (which happens often when you're boosting toons during RAF period). One key bind would have to be set on the master account, the other on the slaves accounts. That way you could group toons, press let's say ctrl+shift+a, then press ctrl+shift+s and voila your new team is ready to be rushed through dungeons with your favorite boosting toon.

Thoughts ?

While in VP today when trying to res a slave the confirmation box would disappear and character would not be res'd. I relogged a few times and it happened every time.

This already exists. I think its /jamba-team addparty all or something.

Do you use any other addons that could be interfering with it? Tukui for instance.

From here

Now what?

• The first thing you will want to do is set up your team or group.
• Invite all of your toons to a party.
• On every toon enter "/jamba-team addparty" in your chat box.
• On every toon enter "/jamba-team" in your chat box.
  
• You should now have the Jamba "Core: Team" window open. It should now show your whole party in the Team List.

What's this "Master Slave" stuff? Everyone says that they are the Master and everyone else is a Slave.

• You will need to pick your main toon. This is the toon that you are focusing on as you play.
• In the chat box on your main enter "/jamba-team master <name> all", where <name> is the name of your main toon.
• All of your toons should now show your main as the master and everyone else as a slave.
  
• Congratulations, your team is set up, you can now make all the changes you want to Jamba from your main toon and "push" them to the rest of your team.

What do you mean "push"?

• Whenever you make a change in your Jamba settings on your main, you can use the "Push Settings" button in each section of Jamba to force your slaves to copy them from your master. This means you only ever have to make changes on your main, your slaves will automatically update their settings to match your master's settings whenever you click that button.
  
  
• There are 2 places to find the Push buttons. The first is on the Jamba main window. Sending the command from this button will update all of your settings. The second is on each individual subsection of the Jamba GUI. Sending the command from this button will only update that single area.

I already know this The idea was merely to simplify the process by removing the need to type commands you have to figure out first and combine multiple steps (you're guaranteed to systematically do each time) into basically one self-explanatory action : push a button. Maybe it could help new users too by making this more accessible.

I know how bad I am at using commands. Most of the time, I forget about them and only realize too late I could have used a command line. If I somehow think of using a command, I have first to google for a guide and skim through it until I find what I'm looking for. Lame I know Not saying these commands are useless of course, I use many of them all the time in macros mainly.

Push a button and win. Life needs more of theese "win" buttons.

Well I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not but just in case : Jamba basically is an assistant (that's what the last 'a' in 'Jamba' stands for) or more exactly a swiss army knife combining a plethora of assistants for all sort of things ingame. So I think throwing out ideas to improve the assisted configuration of the assistant can't be wrong Anyway I'm not claiming my idea in itself is so good. Maybe it'll give Jafula more (and better) ideas to improve the addon.

[Maat]

Jafula, I've got a feature request for you:

If Group Loot is set have the clones choose same option (Need/Greed/Disenchant/Pass) as team. If an item is Bind on Pickup accept the confirmation window too if a toon wins the roll.

[Perrigrin]

A wierd problem I have just gotten: After configuring a new team in isboxer, and setting a new jamba profile on my main char to reflect that.

on the main when i do /jamba - the screen wont show up - no errors, nothing seems to be not working, but cant configure - very anoying as he is the main :P

any ideas?
