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

[plonk]

Just a big THANK YOU to you, Jafula, for this really nice addon for multiboxer ! Just keep up the good job !

@jafula - I run around with a prot pally and a enh/resto shm, yeah i'm weird, and use the 'follow after combat' option instead of strobing. This works well for me, but I noticed that each time the shm does her first swing it'll give the warning that she stopped following. I do want to be warned about this, but is there any chance for an option to not warn about follow failure mid-combat?

How do you initiate the follow, do you use /follow or /jamba-follow master all? I'm surprised you get a warning about follow being broken. I'll try this myself, I assume you are using /assist or something similar. My toons either are not following during combat or they are following and if they are following during combat and I break follow by movement, I don't get a warning. Perhaps its the assisting that causes this.

Are you using any other addons that would interfere with Jamba, like Multiboxer or something else that could potentially initiate a follow?

Anyway, yes, I could add an option to not warn about follow breaking in combat - it will be off by default. (I personally, want to be warned if follow breaks in combat.)

Ok, I can reproduce this. My shamans, have a macro

/target focus
/assist
/startattack

that causes this. I don't use it much, but I see it would get annoying quickly. I'll make sure that option goes in soon.

Edit: Actually, this doesn't seem to work. My shamans are not in combat when they take their first swing; so I still get the follow broken message.

A workaround for this to press a movement key on your shaman (like step forward) before swinging.
[s]Another method would be to add something to your macros to tell Jamba to suppress the message; like:

/target focus
/assist
/jamba-follow nowarn
/startattack

But not sure if thats worth doing... option 3 seems better.[/s]

Edit2: Perhaps you can turn off the follow warnings completely and just use the red/green follow status on the new team gui?
I've added the option in anyway, it doesn't seem to want to work for initial swing. Lets see how you go after the patch and Jamba 0.3. [s]If its still annoying, I'll add the /jamba-follow nowarn command that will just suppress the next warning to happen. Option 3 seems better.[/s]

Edit3: Hmmm, perhaps even better would be to supress the warning if any of your team was already in combat. That way as your main is already fighting, there would be no need to add the /jamba-follow nowarn to the macro.

I had a conflict between QuestHelper and Jamba, like a few others here. It seems to work perfectly otherwise but it just doesnt show the graphics. I managed to fix like this:

(1. Not entrily sure if this is necessary, but I will include it anyway since I did this before I found the fix. Delete QH addon and downloaded the newest one and installed it after I Jamba was already installed.)
2. Open the map and click on the QuestHelper button in the upper right corner. This enabled the QH graphics. No other setting did anything. For whatever reason, Jamba disables that option and it doesnt enable it even if you unistall it.

Hope that helps.

Also, Im sorry if these are stupid questions but I coulndt find info anywhere. I have set all the members and master correctly.

1. What are tags? What is their purpose and how do i need to set them up?
2. I have 2 slaves and a master. One of them accepts all quests, the other doesnt. The settings should be identical. The "accept all quests" is on.
3. Push the settings, THEY DO NOTHING! Ehm, yea.
4. I have misunderstood something or is isnt Jamba working for me: If I go to sell items with my master to a vendor, should the slaves do the same automatically? Same goes for interaction with quest npcs.
5. I feature Id like. Auto accepting trades from my master.

I was unaware of a /jamba-follow nowarn option.. I can place that in my attack macro (which is just /startattack [target=focustarget,exists,harm][target=target,exists,harm])

How would one turn this back on, /jamba-follow warn ? I have a all-in-one macro I use post combat for totem pickup, focus, & follow.. I can easily add the warnings back on there.

EDIT: omg, i didn't get an internal server 500 error this time.. I've tried posting a response like 3-4 times..

I'm glad you were unaware of that option, because it does not exist. (I was thinking out loud. I was trying to solve your problem.) The no warn would be a one time supression; the next time follow broke you would get a warning. But that method is too heavy, you need to mess with macros to get it to work. I'd rather that if one of your other characters was in combat, then Jamba supressed the follow broken message. What do you think?
