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

[Jafula]

Anyone mind telling me where to find a tutorial on the follow functionality?

I am running a 2-box and just want my slave to follow me -> attack when I hit attack (using keyclone this works) -> and then follow me after combat is complete.

Thanks!

Have a look at the options in the Jamba Follow options screen. There is a checkbox for auto follow after combat.

To get a slave to follow you can type (set up a macro) on the master:

/jamba-follow master all

One thing Im really looking forward to is Jamba-Tooninfo. How close is that? Or is it on the drawing board still? One thing I would love to see with that is just expanding the comparison tooltip that already exists. Just add a few tooltip windows that instead of "Currently Equipped" say "ToonA has equipped". Something like that having the tooltips lined up side-by-side.

Sorry to say that it is on the drawing board. I haven't tried to write it yet.

If I was going to build something it would probably build a static window that you could popup by alt-clicking an item, that showed the icons for the item equipped on each toon in the same slot as the item you clicked on. Mousing over those items would show you the items stats.

I am trying to get Jamba working and I am having some trouble. I download and unzip the file into my addons file like I do with all my addons. When I go to play wow Jamba does not register as and addon. I have downloaded and reinstalled numerous times with no luck. instillation path is file:///C:/Users/Public/Games/World%...erface/AddOns/ any suggestions would be helpful.

Your folder should look like :

Interface\AddOns\Jamba

Inside the Jamba folder should be

Libs, Locals, Modules, Textures, Binding and so on

If you have Interface\AddOns\Jamba\Jamba you need to move everything from the second Jamba folder into the top level Jamba folder

If you have Interface\AddOns and a bunch of files, you need to create a Jamba folder, delete the Libs, Locales, Modules, textures Bindings, Jamba* files and re-extract them to the Jamba folder.

It's an older addon, but I think boxers everywhere would benefit from the ability to share macros.

If the abilities of this addon could be expanded (development of a gui, ability to choose whether the macro to be shared should be general or character specific, etc) It would make a great feature.

I definitely agree with you on the ability to share macros. For the 0.5 version I have build Jamba-Macro

It is a lot more powerful than regular macros and probably not what you want.

I'm happy with the Jamba-Macro and I probably will not write a macro sharer for the original WoW macros. But that doesn't stop someone else from building a macro sharing module that hooks into Jamba or a standalone addon. The FTL Helper in Jamba was built by olipcs. Redbeard wanted to build a macro sharing addon and might have made a start on it.

Sorry, I uploaded the 0.4h version missing the Jamba directory around all the files. If you download it again, you should get a fixed zip file.

Khatovar, thanks for posting the info.

I find myself missing an add-on to keep an eye on the health, mana and castbars of my chars when not grouped with my slaves (in battlegrounds for instance). Is there any chance of having you implement some more unit-frame options in jamba? :-)

Also, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems that the healthbars in the jamba display is updating slower than it is on my party frames - or is that just me? Also, thanks for a great add-on, it's on my must-have list and the work you put into it is very much appreciated!

Jamba 0.5 has health and mana bars for your team. I'm really don't want to move into the unit frame area as there are plenty of good unit frame addons out there already and if I was to build one, I'd have to add feature after feature to keep up with the existing addons (you guys are relentless) and etc. I could probably hack up an existing addon like X-Perl (which has an open source license), but that is probably the extend I would go to.

Having said that, I might change my mind one day.

The health display in Jamba 0.4 is very slow, it uses updates from the team over the wire rather than from the combat log. In Jamba 0.5, the display uses the combat log and now matches the unit frames.

Thanks for the kind words.

Would it be possible (see also "easy") to add support for click-based mods (i.e. Clique) to the team window? Just a thought for those of us that use clicker mods and lose our party frame in raids (and BGs).
