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

[Fizzler]

I can well understand that you dont want to add to much in (as it is Jamba is very very cpu friendly) but adding mana and hp bars, and a target and target of target frame in the team display would allow users to junk X-pearl or Pitbull. Also as your product keeps growing at some point you can just plain charge like $9.99 or something. I mean I dont see why someone would not pay a minimal price for a ready to roll multibox add on set up. If you had a pre made full UI similar to Cath or something (keeping CPU usagae to a minimum which is obviously critical to boxers) with Jamba you easy could just charge a flat fee (exspically if you had a way for the slaves to get the UI also with ease when there is a update).

I don't want to build unit frames replacements. And I'll never charge for Jamba either. Jamba isn't open source at the moment, but when I have finished development, I'll more than likely open source it and others could take over and make their own modifications. But until then, I'll do my best to accomodate as many of you as possible. :)

Building Unitframes is a full time job all in itself or could be. Pitbull and others allow enough custom abilities to create the bars you want. I fear that this mod might grow to large myself. The addition of buy and sell is outstanding but again there are mods that do that very effectively now and while this has allowed me to do away with those mods I would have been just as happy without this feature.

what I am excited about is the targetting featues. I do not use them yet but I see so much potential.

Keep up the great work I can not tell you how much we appreciate it.

The additions look great I can not wait to try it. Do you suggest dumping the WTF file as well?

I sent you a donation.

Jamba target:
- the jamba bind for clear target just seems the same as pressing escape. Isnt it meant to clear the target #? Atm relogging seems to be the way to clear the list
- the macro's don't do anything. I cleared the /targetexact line replaced it with /polymorph, but the slave toon's jamba bind to target just targetted the mob as before... no poly with or without a /targetexact line. The macro was on the slave.
- the /jamba settarget command on the wiki doesn't register.

what if, jamba-follow had an option to form a follow chain automatically.

Been using Jamba for about a month now, LOVE IT. Will probably send a regular donation

For taxi, I've noticed it doesn't work. I have the flight paths open in all windows, and take off with the leader, and nothing.... I have all my team members in each other's list, taxi is checked on, and I still have to manually select each location.. in each window.

Suggestions?

No you should be fine to leave it, only about 3 options reset to defaults, auto repair and auto deny duels/guild options.

Ok, clear target is the same as pressing escape (except it clears the target, as escape might close a window first). No way to clear the target list completely. I'll add something like that in.

Polymorph works for me:

/targetexact #MOB#
/cast Polymorph
/targetlasttarget

Did you press the accept button after changing the macro? Please let me know if you are still having trouble. I'll try and check it tonight.

The wiki is wrong, I never wrote those commands.

The follow chain idea has been in my todo list for a long time... yes it would be cool.

Thanks for your donation. :love:

Hmmm, taxi works for me in 0.4.

Has taxi ever worked for you?

Are your toons are all enabled (checked) in the team list (and enabled on each character)?

I found the clear target didnt clear the target from the list or remove the raid icon.
Yeah I mean, I pressed accept. I played around with a bit. That the macro still targeted when I removed all targetting told me theres some other problem so i left it. Next time I play i'll see how it goes, but I expect the problem remains.

[s]ok, can't wait to try this new version some more. Howeve4r, you are refering to jamba-target and macro's, a quick glance over the options menu does not show me the tab I saw in one of your screenshots for jamba-target. Are we supposed to make m[/s][s]acro's using wow's own macro feature or is there supposed to be a seperate macro screen which I am missing ?[/s]

edited:

Ok, it seemed by just copying over the new version not all files got updated by Vista which resulted in a mixed bag. I have now deleted the original folder in my interface dir and cleanly installed Jamba 0.4 and I now have the additional macro tab inside my jamba-target settings.
