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

[materia]

Hi everyone,

Jamba beginner here, having a bit of a hard time to get started.

1) Once I have created my group and asked Jamba to invite my toons (only two of them at the moment), should the slaves automatically auto-follow the master? This doesn't seem to be happening for me.

2) When my master accepts a quest, my slave doesn't. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for any help...

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I often switch targets in combat but want my DPS to maintain its drilling of my previous target (master). My current macro's acquire the master's target and stay on it unless I hit another key to make them focus on my new target. To attempt to make switching easy, I have my Target Master key hotkeyed to the same key in all five toons. So, if I want to get my DPS to switch when I hit it, obviously, my main loses its current target and is now targeting himself.

I've not used focus nor targettarget so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Any thoughts?

Ok I am in need of some serious help as I am for some reason unable to figure out why I am unable to get most of the functionality of Jamba working, while I had things working pretty damn well in MultiBoxer 2.0

The lack of documentation makes figuring out how to setup Jamba a complete pain in the ass but true-fully it looks like it has some pretty damn amazing features, but the hurdle seems to be much higher then what I have been currently doing.

A few things from my earlier setup:

My Focus Macro:
Main Machine:

/clearfocus
/focus [modifier:ctrl,modifier:shift,target=Boltee] [modifier:ctrl, target=Boltea] [modifier:shift, target=Boltae] [target=Boltaa]
/clearfocus



Slave Machines:

/clearfocus
/focus [modifier:ctrl,modifier:shift,target=Boltee] [modifier:ctrl, target=Boltea] [modifier:shift, target=Boltae] [target=Boltao]


My Lightning Bolt Macro:
Main Machine:

No special macro, just Lightning Bolt from spell book.


Slave Machines:

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt


My Follow Macro:
Main Machine:

/stopmacro [target=focus, noexists]
/follow focus



Slave Machine:

/stopmacro [target=focus, noexists]
/follow focus



What I think I have working....

New Follow Macro:
This seems to work reasonably well, though I am not sure if I need the the Main Machine Macro on my slaves too or if the shorter one for the slave machines will suffice,
I want to make sure that if I need to switch to a slave machine and make it my main that I can do what is needed properly...


Main Machine:

/focus Leader
/script SetView(5);SetView(5)
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/jamba-follow strobeonme all


Slave Machines:

/focus Leader
/script SetView(5);SetView(5)

No matter what settings I use I can't get ANY of the quest automation to work, no idea why, I have tried every combination of options, no dice.
My old Lightning Bolt attack macro doesn't work anymore, even though I get messages saying that Boltao, my main is everyone's focus... so my LB Macros should fire off, but that is not happening.
I can't get any of the sales things to work either.

I am just wondering if I am missing anything in my setup, I made sure to designate all members in my 5 man shaman group to be on each machines list, and that the Master is set to Boltao.

Any hints, tips, thoughts, or macro help will be happily accepted, thanks!!

I had this the other night too when I rerolled some locks on maelstrom. I thought "jesus I had this dialed in with my shams..." turns out I hadn't selected a master... I pushed the tags but hadn't actually selected one for the job inch: . I'm sure jaf will be answering your other questions soon.

[nakago]

I checked all my slaves and my master, and the all indeed have Boltao selected as master. As for tags, I think all I have is the all tag, which was the default. I am missing something then?

Any chance you would be willing to share some of your Shaman's Macros especially in concern to how they work with Jamba?

tested addon this week, nice features but seems to disconnect single chars randomly, still have no clue why. still a seriuos issue because a disconnecting toon in the middle of a fight is not what you want i'm sry i can't give a situation where it always happens the only thing i can state is without jamba i only get a disconnect when my provider refreshes my ip

[Jafula]

just as an aside Focus sucks so hard at PvP its unbelievable. Focus drops off all the time-- PvE its fine but I had guys just standing there randomly and other times they would dps. Nasty and unreliable. Not a jamba issue its a focus issue - targettarget at least can be relied upon most of the time .

Could you elaborate a bit on this? I've never seen any issues with my focus setup in PVP.

Likewise, focus is solid for me. Please DO NOT rely on Jamba switching masters and then updating its own "Set Focus To Master" keybind. This can only happen outside of combat and if you try to do this while PVPing and (in combat) it will fail. The alternative is to manually /focus toon in your macros and get Jamba to switch master when the focus changes.

Thanks for any help...[/quote]No, the slaves will not automatically follow. You will need to macro up the command:

/jamba-follow master all

on one of your toons (pref. the master). When you run this command, all your toons will follow the master.

For the quest mirroring, make sure all your toons are checked in the Jamba Team tab. Check [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=126727#post126727']this post[/url] out for more details.

Please let me know if all this does / does not work for you.

Do you have the "Set Target To Master When Changing Master" option selected in the Jamba Team section? This needs to be checked; then you can press the Target Master key. Give it a go and let me know if that gets you working.

In the Team section as well, make sure that all your toons are checked (on all your toons).

(You don't seem to be switching masters in combat, but please be aware that Jamba cannot change target to master when in combat.)
