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

[Jafula]

Ok I see the list let me ask another question, but first thanks for the link and help. I notice some of the actual in game keybinds are gone for setting master and setting master as focus. I used to through 3 key clicks make new master leader and focus, so that no matter what window I had to jump to from deaths or what ever I was set. Is there now an easier way to do this, and if so I would greatly appreciate any help with how to set it up. Thanks in advance.

Just upgraded to .5b, I am used to using a "/jamba setfocusmaster" followed by executing that with a keybind. What is the new way of doing this?

This functionality is gone. You can replace it with Jamba Macro, but you'll need to write your macros. Using Jamba Macro, you will be able to switch masters and set focus in one key press.

Here is a howto post I made for switching masters:

Is there any way to have my slaves relay their quest progress to the master?
I know jamba used to do that. Has this feature been removed?

This feature has gone, but I plan to bring it back where you can configure which messages get sent (rather than sending all of them).

Hey Jaf,
Nice to be back boxing! First, I've searched the forums using Jamba, Razer Naga and got one hit that had nothing to do with my problem sooooo... Here's my problem:
I use the Razer Naga mouse (12 keys right at my thumb). Bound to those 12 keys, I have the num pad N0-N9 plus N- N+ . I was playing with the macro module last night and trying to bind keys. Unless I'm doing something wrong, Jamba is not recognizing the keystrokes from the mouse as numpad keystrokes. It sees them as 0-9 rather than N0 - N9. If I bind actions to the keys via the in game keybinds menu, the keystrokes are recognized as N0 - N9 etc, but in Jamba they are not.. Am i missing something?

I've said this to you privately, but its worth saying over and over what a godsend this mod is, and how cool you are for offering it for free. I can, and will, work around this issue if I have to, but I just wanted to let you know this was happening.

I'm not sure I can help in this case. I use the Ace3 GUI library key binding control. I don't know how it works, but it obviously is a little different to regular wow key bindings (based on your experience). I'll have a look at the code for the control when I get a chance and see if its doing any key/mouse filtering.

I see that example, I guess it's non intuitive in that its more steps upfront than normal. Especially if you mix groups and cannot reuse the toon1-5.

But to be clear on the defacto example, the master you want me to setup a variable for each character (your tom,dick -> #toon1#, #toon2#) then use those variables just like someone might normally /focus tom or /focus dick. Then push those to the slaves (again if you swap in characters your going to need to augment this procedure since the names are defined it seems)

/jamba-team master #toon1#
/focus #toon1#
/jamba-follow master

This seems quite intensive, is there a mechanism to allow the master to set a variable and then push it (out of combat). Something akin to this

/jamba-macro iammastervar #MASTER#
/jamba-macro push

/focus #MASTER#
/jamba-follow master

This wouldn't help the pvp people that want to swap characters i understand or work during combat since your rewriting the internal macro upon iammastervar.

eine frage klappt das auch unter version 2.4.3?/does it work with patch 2.4.3?

[Maxion]

I simply replaced my old
/jamba setmeasmaster all
with
/jamba-team iammaster

Something along those lines.

Re: you cannot reuse toon1-5.

The idea is that you tag your characters with these toon1, toon2, toon3, toon4, toon5 tags. When you change your group composition, you rearrange the tags on your characters appropriately. All you do is change the tags on your toons, push the updated tag settings, the run the /jamba-macro use xxx yyy all command. Note that you don't push the jamba macro settings as these are already defined on your toons.

If this is too much bother, you can use profiles to predefine these.

Edit:

jamba-macro looks for variables as tags on your toons first, before using the variables defined in jamba-macro.

Another way would be to setup several macro sets, one for each unique group of characters.

Ok maybe I did something wrong but I am sure I did the exact same thing on all 4 toons I made the....
master1

/jamba-team master #toon1#

slave1

/jamba-team master #toon1#
/focus #toon1#
/jamba-follow master


With each toon tagged all my toons did the !toon1 !toon2 till toon 4 I checked they all say the right things according to the post, or my interpretation of it....lol but when I swap lets say I am on toon 1 swap to toon 2 I have differant toons following differant people for some reason.1 and 2 swap fine but 3 and 4 follow 1 or 2 not who ever is set as master and then if I swap to 3 or 4 1 and 2 mess up. All this being said has anyone got a screen shot of 4 or 5 toons with the macro set up working that I can take a peek at? I am sure I just fudged something up somewhere just not sure where. Thanks for all the help so far guys. Oh and do the # go around the names I tried with and without I belive?

Make sure you only make the macros up on one toon and then push the settings to all the other toons. You need to make sure that all toons get the macro on the correct keys. When you hit the master key, the master should run the master macro and all the other slaves should run the slave macro.

The #'s go around the variables or toon tags.
