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

[Jafula]

I am working on the class specific quests at level 50 and have different classes. The slaves spam every second that they are missing the quest that the master has. I had to turn off the option for mirroring the master's quest watch (2nd to last option in quest section). This stopped the spam, but now I can't get the slaves to use the flight master's or mirror the master's selections in quest dialogs.

Thanks for your feedback; I appreciate it, I like bug reports! (As Jamba gets better when they are fixed.)

You can stop the spam; by choosing the Quest Silently option in Jamba-Quest.

I believe this is a bug and I'm not clearing down the last quest selection variable properly in some cases and it gets stuck thinking your master is selecting a quest on certain quest event updates. I'll investigate tonight.

After finishing the class specific quests I removed the addon and removed the saved variables lua file for each character. I then placed the addon back in and set up the settings but its still broken. Everything else seems to work, but not the flight master following and quest dialog following.

I think I know why this has happened.

Jamba sends quest spam/commands across the wow addon channel. Jamba throttles the rate these messages get sent, so you don't get disconnected, should spam like you noticed happen because of a bug. Also wow throttles the rate at which the addon messages are sent from the server to the master. If you left the spam running for a while (like you say finishing class specific quests), there could be a big queue of it on the server.

Because of this particular bug you mention, I believe that the commands for the flight master and quest dialog are getting queued up at the wow server side behind all the quest spam. So what is happening to you is, is the characters are still processing the spam quest addon messages and the new characters master/quest selection commands are at the end of that queue and have not made it to the master yet...

So to fix this NOW before I fix the bug you can:

Wait about 10 or so mins or so for the spam backlog to clear; start wow for each character individually, and choose the Quest Silently option in Jamba-Quest. This will stop quest messages being sent to the master.

To help try and confirm this, was there much time between when you removed the addon/saved variables and restarted wow?

I'll get on and fix that bug.
