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

[Jafula]

Hi Jafula,

I have a question about your quest log window helper. What are the base requirements for this to function?

On my horde server it has never worked correctly. When I would choose "select" only one alt ever followed the main's selections. I recently changed servers, and as soon as I made my new team it worked flawlessly. I believe I had installed 0.4f before starting there, so maybe that was it. But within the last 2 days the functionality has completely stopped working. It won't do group selects or abandons (a bummer when you're running through areas grabbing all quests just to see that they're gray).

I really love this functionality. Do you have any ideas? Corrupt .lua files maybe?

Edit: I've been running the same mods for the last year, so nothing has changed there.

Edit2: I've purged all Jamba related files and reinstalled 0.4g. This is still not working. Anyone know?

Hi,

Sorry you are having this trouble.

Serveral things to check...

1) Are you opening the quest log/quest npcs dialogs on all the toons first, before you do the actions on your master? If not, you need to start doing this.

2) Is your team configured correctly, i.e. the same toon list / master / all toons enabled on _every_ toon. Read this article.

3) Have you tried with just the Jamba addon (and no other addons)? Maybe a mod has been updated that now conflicts with Jamba.

So I didn't see any fix / solution / reply to the issue of WoW crashing to the desktop when one of the toons takes a taxi.

I've had this happen a lot, and I'm terrible at not updating addons, so I'm not sure which version this was. I just updated everyone last night to the newest version, so I'll be able to experiment tonight with this.

But what was hapenning was this:

Group standing at FP. Main has group members enabled. Main takes FP. all 4 slaves crash to the desktop. ( slaves don't have FP window open, or are somewhere else in the world)
Group standing at FP. Main has group members DISabled (/jamba solo). Main takes FP. all 4 slaves stand there (working as intended).

This also happens when any other group member takes a FP, the main will sometimes not crash, but all the other slaves DO crash. As far as I can tell, if the toons don't have the FP window open, and the main (or any other toon) takes a FP, wow will crash. I didn't save any of the reports but it was generic 132 wow crashes. Like I said, I updated to the newest version last night, so I'll make sure I'm still current and test it out tonight to see if it's still there and give you some detailed steps on what I'm doing to cause it.

It only seems to happen on certain servers or is very intermittent. I've never been able to reproduce. I'm going to add some code into Jamba-Taxi to check for the taxi window being open before trying to fly. Hopefully that will fix the problem....

I'd taken a temporary pause in true mb'ing while waiting for 3.2 and cheap mounts. Now that 3.2 is here I'm actively controlling 3 toons.

Previously, I used to get quest status updates on the master in the default chat when the slaves progressed on a quest, be it killing mobs or looting items. It was very helpful to know whether or not the slave actually had accepted the quest, and their progress without having to glance at the second monitor when they loot something!

Since I started up again, these notifications are gone. I've made sure that "Quest Silently" is turned off in my jamba options, and none of my jamba options have changed except I've added a 3rd toon to the team (was just two toons before).

Any idea what option might be causing the total lack of quest progress messages?

Sorry, I turned that functionality off by default in a recently release.

Go into Jamba-Talk options, and check 'Forward UI Errors' and 'Forward UI Information'.

[Jafula]

I don't know if this has to do with Jamba, or just the new patch... but it seems that escort quests are hosed.

Jamba is allowing the alts to auto-accept the quest when the master picks it up, so I don't know if it's Jamba's fault or not.

Its the way Blizzard do escort quests. You need to not auto-accept escort quests (Jamba cannot tell the difference between escorts and normal). On the slaves, do not open the npcs dialog. Just open the dialog on the master. Start the quest. If you have auto-accept escorts quests check in the Jamba-Quest options, all the slaves will automatically join the masters quest. Otherwise you will have to click the Join Quest dialog manually on each slave.

So I fixed my problem in case anyone runs into this.

The problem was the Jamba quest log helper would not select quests for the group for abandoning and marking. CT_Mod (CT_Core specifically) was conflicting with this. I had enabled the "show quest level in quest log" option. As soon as I disabled that it worked again. I didn't want to have to disable CT_Core, but disabling the quest levels made it work again. QuestHelper shows the levels in its log anyway, so it's fine.

I apologize if that has been already mentioned but a quick search did not yield any useful results.

Would it be possible to get some sort of lvl1 spam filter?

I do have Spam Sentry on my toons but even those gold selling messages do get blocked they still get relayed to my main and due to the fact that the increase of those annoying gold spams is getting worse by the day it is driving me bananas.

I still find the whisper relay function really useful but I just wish I could block them by level.

Once again, if that has been alreay brought up - my apologies.

Hello,

The blocking whispers by level functionality is not available. I had a quick look at implementing it a while back and decided it was too complicated for a quick fix. I'm not sure I'll be able to get to looking at this anytime soon, but do be aware it is a task on my Jamba todo list.

[Raskaz]

Oki, and thanks for your reply!

I am quite sure an addon already exists that does this.

True, but slaves frequently still pass the whispers through to your main. In one case, my master auto reported all 4 of my slaves for spam (BadBoy addon), SpamMeNot lets the whispers through to the main too. I've had these types of addons put slaves on ignore, or remove them from my friend list as well. Ugh, anyone have a good one that plays nicely with Jamba? It seems that at least one of the servers I play on regularly is inundated with spammers, and I conider Jamba a "must have" addon.

I for one woud love to have Jamba hide whispers from lvl 1, 2, and 55 toons. No reporting, no auto /ignore, nothing like that, just keep the whispers from showing up in my chat log. Until Jafula has time to write such a module (or I find one that really works like I would want) I will deal with it.

Thanks again for a stellar mod Jafula!
