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

[moog]

Sounds like a great addon but it appears to insist on adding the 4 other chars to my friends list, which is already full overflowing on my main, causing an infinite loop of /friend attempts, resulting in a DC from the spam

[Zub]

The addon is working perfectly for me. Good job, it is looking VERY nice.
The options are very easy and intuitive.

The only thing i had a doubt about, was the PUSH button under Jamba(Core)
I thought it would push the list to the toons in the list. Tried a couple times until i realized you needed to add the toons on each list first.

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).

This would be awesome. It would allow me to put it my PiP/focus macro to always have the master on the big screen. (discard my previous question about having 'focus' in the list - this replaces it)

Thanks again for this awesome addon.

Another thing (just throwing them out at you;-) it would be good if there was an option to automatically set to group loot to Free-for-all ( /ffa ) and a script command to invite whoever is on the list of toons (enabled) to create the group :-)

Yes, you did, you need to make sure you have the quest giver open on all the characters before you start on the master.

Great thanks alot i will try this today

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?

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).

Script to change master would be nice idd.

Other recommendations:

• Forward the name of the player that whispered the slave. It can become confusing when you try to talk with multiple players through the same slave.
• I edited the lua to reduce the length of the error msg when follow brakes. It was just way too long for me. Imo "!FOLLOW BROKE!" is enough, no need for a full sentence, it just makes things spammy.
• An option to throttle together the "follow broke" error msg in case follow broke at same time on the slaves selected at the Member List. Yet again, less spam.
• I know you still havent implemented the CD watcher. But it would be extremely nice if it could track any given spell not just bloodlust. example: warstomp. Preferably have a movable icon/frame for it too.

So far, so good, keep it up! :P

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. >_>

im having the same problem

I know how to fix this and I'll get onto as soon as I get home from my day job... I have a feeling that the issue might be caused by a large friends list. Anyway, the point is moot, as I'm going to pull that part of the code that does this as its not really necessary.[quote='Zub',index.php?page=Thread&postID=115722#po st115722]The addon is working perfectly for me.

[/quote]Thanks, I'm glad it is working for you. The initial push can push out all your member list to your slaves, but you need for them to be able to trust the pusher. If you add and enable one toon on each slave and push from that toon, it should work. I tried to explain it [url='http://wow.jafula.com/addons/1-jamba/12-jamba-core']here[/url] - if I could be clearer I am open to suggestions.

I'm on it! After the infinite loop friend bug.

Do you have a lot of friends on your main? If you try loading the addon on a new character (that has no friends) and then slowly add others does the problem go away? I'm going to be removing the code that causes this, but I'd like to know why its happening...

[Zub]

doing good:-)

Bug fixes > new features, so don't worry too much about my suggestions lol
- Automatic /follow from the slaves to the master when exiting combat
- Automatic accept Rez
- A "/jamba gold" script command for the master to ask how much money the slaves have
- Same as Maat: Forward the name of the player that whispered the slave. It can become confusing when you try to talk with multiple players through the same slave.


You'll soon regret you've opened this to the public, you'll get ALOT of work :-)

cheers

1) I assume that you are not using the request /who information and the forwarding of system messages in this case. I could make this change; but I cannot make the name clickable in this case; but you will still have the name. How do you want the name forwarded - as a postfix or prefix?

2) I'll add an option for that; and default it to "Follow Broken".

3) Hmmm, I'll keep this one in mind, I'd like the idea of combining similar messages within a certain time frame together. You won't see this feature immediately, but know that it is on the [url='http://wow.jafula.com/addons/1-jamba/14-future-jamba-releases']list[/url] .
