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

Excellent!

I have been following your general code layout with an eye toward making some minor extensions of my own. I look forward to an API, esp. to the XP and follow party data. I was just going to snoop the data and reparse the things i needed, but an api could be much more efficient.

Can I download some older versions of the program? Better inf. have at PM. Thx for answer

I don't want to let people have older versions because they all are old. Old versions have bugs that have been fixed in newer versions, have features that are incomplete, and I don't want to have to deal with those again.

but the newer version doesnt work properly on patch 2.4.3 /cry

Awesome addon, thanks for your work!

Cool; let me know if there is anything else you would like in the api.

I'm making a JambaModule table that you mixin to your addon; like so

JambaTaxi = LibStub( "AceAddon-3.0" ):NewAddon( "JambaTaxi", "JambaModule-1.0", "AceConsole-3.0" )

Currently the methods mixed in are:

• JambaRegisterModule( moduleName )
• JambaSendCommandToTeam( commandName, ... )
• JambaSendCommandToSlaves( commandName, ...)
• JambaSendMessageToTeam( message )
• JambaSendWarningToTeam( message )
• JambaSendSettings( settings )

and your addon will also have to implement the following

• JambaOnSettingsReceived( characterName, settings )
• JambaOnCommandReceived( characterName, commandName, ... )

There will be a JambaTeam global table that will contain all the team information; methods like:

• ActiveCharacters() - an iterator over all active characters (enabled characters).
• boolean CharacterIsInTeam( characterName )
• boolean CharacterIsTheMaster( characterName )

And using AceEvent-3.0; you will be able to subscribe to messages that JambaTeam sends; the messages will be along the lines of

• FollowStarted, characterName
• FollowStopped, characterName
• HealthUpdate, characterName, healthAmount
• ExperienceUpdate, characterName, experienceAmount, isRested

Anyway, thats just a taster of what is to come; I'll make sure it is all documented and I'll walk through a few small examples (like JambaTaxi) in the docs as well.

Issue: Raid Warning / Experience Bar do not work for one specific Toon.

Toon name: PSA

(All my other toons in the party work great with Jamba.)

PSA's settings in Blizzard Interaface and Jamba are the exact same as all the other toons in the party.

I have removed the Jamba variable file for PSA, I have removed all mods and left just Jamba active. Why do I have the feeling it's the name "PSA"?

PSA will communicate to the the Master via Party and Whisper. If I type "/rw <text>" the <text> is dislayed properly in Raid Warning. Using Jamba will not display in RW for follow breaks or attacks, or anything else.

Any thoughts?

(yep, I donated about 2 weeks ago! Excellent mod! Thanks so much!)

Great Addon! I had previously used Multiboxer v2, but i never saw any updates, and it died. Glad to see you are continually working on it!

I use wowmatrix to keep my addons updated. Any chance on getting Jamba to show up on it's updates? I have no idea how it works on the backend, but I assume it just checks a bunch of websites for new versions. When I updated to .4, it had a bunch of LUA erors, until I deleted the jamba folder and put in the new one (first time I had just copied the new files into the old folder, there must have been an old file that is no longer there messing something up) Having it able to be auto updated would be awesome.

When my finances are a bit better, I'll be sure to donate to this great cause!

Just wondering you drop the word automate alot... I was thinking about using this.. looks wonderful but its scary lol.. Automate usually = bad.
