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

[Jafula]

I like the idea of moving to a relatively scheduled update plan, and I agree it'll be motivational (at least for a while, eventually you'll be dragging yourself to the coding).

One thing to always let us know when you do update, whether we need to dump old files before installing and which ones.

I haven't made the move to 0.2b yet for that reason.

Love the Jamba though, boom de yada.

Just delete the old Jamba folder and install the new one. I *should* be keeping your settings from one version to the next from now on.

dont know if its been brought up.

on my druid when i change forms to cat or bear, i get the warnings that my mana is low (though the bars have now changed to rage or energy bars). how do i stop this from happening apart from simply turning that feature off?

Jafula,

This may have been mentioned on one of the other pages, but I wasn't about to read through all the posts. Any chance of getting this put up on the curse website, so it can be updated automatically through that client, that way we don't have to keep coming back to the website to check for updates all the time?

I don't want Jamba on curse (or any other website for that matter) while it is in development (beta). Right now, I would like the audience for Jamba, just to be the people that read dual-boxing forum (and their friends). Sorry, but you are going to have to keep coming back to the website to check for updates.

I will be releasing an update every weekend now, so you could limit your checking to Monday evening...

No one has mentioned that before. I'll have a look for you and see if I can detect what stance you are in and suppress the message accordingly.

Are they adding a feature in WOTLK, where you see your mana bar in cat or bear form? Can't remember....

Yes, this happens to me as well. It seems that the addon is just checking for UnitMana() and not checking what power type the mana is (energy, rage, runic power). When a druid shifts into form, he starts out with mana usually, and then the mana bar drops to zero as it changes to an energy/rage bar.

Ah, power type as well. Thanks. I'll investigate and see how I can fix it. Funny my warrior never complains about low mana .

I want to start by saying a big thank you for this wonderful mod. There's a few things I had to manually click on each screen (flight paths, quest pickup and turn-in, accepting shared quests, accepting rez, etc.) and I love how those are automatic now. I'm not done converting my setup to fully use Jamba's abilities, but I'm doing it one step at a time (leveling is more fun so I tend to always put aside making changes to my setup :whistling: ).

One minor detail I noticed, is that if I have my slaves on follow, then open the flight master on all toons, and pick a destination with my master, they will all go on their way and that works great, but I'll get the error messages on my master screen about how my slaves have broke follow (the "help! I'm no longer following you!" message). Like I said, very minor, but I figured I'd say it anyway and let you decide the priority on it.

Keep up the awesome work! :thumbsup:

Nice, I'm going to check it out. We'll see how it works on the beta servers

WoW 3.0 Updates

This thread is huge but hopefully you will see this. Anyway these are the changes that are needed to make it work in the Beta. I will try to keep it updated.


*** ToggleQuestLog no longer exists.
As a quick and dirty fix I added the following function

JambaCore.lua

function ToggleQuestLog()
        ToggleFrame(QuestLogFrame);
end

*** InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame has been renamed InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory.
I changed the following lines

JambaCore.lua

--
        InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory( JambaComms:GetOptionsFrame() )
        -- InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame( JambaComms:GetOptionsFrame() )

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but when you talk to the questgiver on your main, do the slaves also talk to the quest-giver?
ZQB + 5box + talking to questgiver on all 5 = pain.

I mean I would settle for a command (that I could put in a macro/bind to a key) that would make my slaves talk/loot the target when pressed.

I'm rambling, sorry.

Ramble away! Don't be sorry, I love rambling myself . My better half is too polite to tell me to shut up, poor thing! (See, that's a good ramble.) What you are asking for cannot be done by an addon (AFAIK). You'll need to investigate mouse broadcasting programs (like hotkeynet or octopus). There are plenty of posts on this topic. I still manually click all 5 quest givers!

Wow! I was actually replied to! Thats awesome! xD

Anyways, I currently use hotkeynet for my dualboxing warlocks, and looked at the mouse broadcasting, but gave up on it because I don't know how I would get all the camera angles the same, etc.

And I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I currently (with my dualboxing setup) use a /target focus setup for my macros (I'm going to try using this mod soon ), I was wondering if someone can give me an in-depth tutorial (that makes sense) on how I can make my alt able to run by herself. Currently the macros target my mains target, so if I'm not also playing my main, I can't do anything, also, when my main dies, my alt can't do ANYTHING.

My macros go like this (after setting main as focus):
/target focus
/assist
/cast Shadowbolt (I don't put a rank so it casts the highest)
/stopmacro (can't remember the actual command I put in there, might actually be stopmacro)

And I just press that.

You think you could spare some time to help a noob like myself? I'm currently 27/28 and have died 4 times.

Oh yeah, like I said, I don't care if its an addon, or a command you bind to a key (like TURNORACTION), so if there is a command like that, that owuld be awesome to know aswell

Otherwise I'll have to figure out how to broadcast mouse co-ords, figure out camera angles, and then bind a key to TURNORACTION and broadcast that key. Oi.
Blizz loves us so much so that they won't help us one bit.
