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

[Ken]

Hmm, I thought about that as well. Will default to filtering out lines, like the "spell not ready" one and have an option to change to only send through the list. Or is that too complicated?

Looks fine to me.

Fantastic addon, I will definitely be donating. Please keep up the good work.

I'm working on JambaThreat :D (at least, Jafula lets me call it that way) and is currently made for notifying the master/raid/party about any PvP threats in the neighborhood.

The idea is to have enemy presence info forwarded and displayed:
Any combat log message that is enemy-related(e.g. a rogue going in stealth) will trigger an 'alarm'.
This event then warns the master/party/raid.
It will be active in battlegrounds, in contested areas(PvP server only) and in "free for all" PvP zones(e.g. world arenas).

I might add PvE threat info later, similar to Omen.

For some reason my second box is not showing the Jamba exp bars. I have it on the main box and have pushed it to the second box but even with log out/ log back in it is not showing up. I am using the most recent version.

Also, not to sound TOO dense, but how can I set the second box to target my main's target? Is it possible to do this automatically?

Thank you for a phenominal add-on!!

There is an option in the display tab of the /jamba interface that goes something like "Only display bars on master character". You will need to uncheck that to see the box on your other character (and push the settings).

Easiest way is to have you main as focus on you second character.

/focus Main

then in macros you can use something like

/target focustarget
/startattack

or

/cast [target=focustarget][] Lightning Bolt

There are plenty of examples around these forums / wiki of these types of macros.

And you are welcome.

Another way of doing the same:

/assist [target=focus,exists]
/cast Lightnig Bolt

The benefit of this over "/cast [target=focustarget][] Lightning Bolt" that you don't have to rewrite the focus code when you have multiple spells in 1 macro:

/assist [target=focus,exists]
/cast [nomod] Spell1
/cast [mod:shift] Spell2
/cast [mod:alt] Spell3

I am personally going to improve it to this:

# Some cast macro
/click MultiBarRightButton1
/cast [nomod] Spell1
/cast [mod:shift] Spell2
/cast [mod:alt] Spell3

# My main 'target select' macro on MultiBarRightButton1 which is an account-global macro:
/assist [target=focus,exists]

The benefit of the system above is that you could easily change the target selection of ALL your macros (on 1 account) by changing 1 simple macro.
There would be a target selection macro for attacking and a separate one for healing.

[edit] For healing I actually do "/target [target=focustarget,exists,noharm,nodead][target=focus,exists]" so I can see that my healer has targetted the right party member in the member list on the screen. This is important, because sometimes you have selected the wrong team member because of lag. With DPS this lag isn't so much of an issue, but healing is quite crucial at some points.

Oooo, Jamba got stickied, awesome, thanks!

I'm working with Ken on a proper API / module system for Jamba. The idea being that Jamba can be distributed as a core addon and other developers can write modules for Jamba, that use Jamba's subsystem, but distribute them as their own addons. This way the community can have a multiboxing addon that anyone can write modules for.

Hopefully as more developers come on board, we can cover all the requests for functionality.

Ken is an absolutely fantastic developer, so I'm sure we'll come up with a flexible subsystem, that maximises performance.

Yeah, thats sounds very good, perhaps i will join in a little. (although i have no real experience with lua-programming only 'normal'-one like c++,c#,java...) I would love to see the tag-based-macro-creating-magic.

I use a /click target method myself and am fairly happy with it. From time to time I have an issue with a little lag when trying to use /click targetting for heal so I had to go another route when it came to that. When it comes to DPS it works great.
