Does each page need to be updated with the button or does the button on the first page transfer all of the settings across

It's per page.

I thought so. I only asked because Im not able to test at the moment and I wasnt able to get it working before to even test it.

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.

I haven't played since mid-day yesterday. So tonight when I get on I will go through each character as you said. I'll post to let you know the results.

Thanks for the great response for bugs. Nice to have an active developer around. Here is a small request to put on your todo list...

Create an option for changing the raid warning messages (follow broken, under attack, etc). I think it would be nice to customize the message some without having to edit the lua file. Just a text box next to the option that changes the default message to what is typed.

first off, the addon sounds awesome. great work!

a few suggestions, and apologies if they've been covered (i didn't read the entire thread, sue me, but i did glance over the planned features and didn't see them...):

In merchant, have exceptions to the buy list. Eg, why would the pally stock up on ankhs, or the teleport reagent? (class based would make the most sense. ) conceptually, the ability to manage the 'autobuy' list centrally is very nice. I used to use reagent re-stocker for that functionality, and managing that sort of things x5 is a pain, especially when changing food.

It might make sense to have a 'synchronize' button for the buy/sell lists, as well, especially if you allow auto selling of specified non-grey items. Kinda a minor thing. (Eg, a union of everyones 'to sell' list)

I was looking at the no focus manifesto, and it occurred to me that it would be cool if you could provide an auto-rez macro or button. LOL. since (with the exception of druids, i believe?) all rez's are non-combat rez's, i wonder if that would allow you to provide logic? like, whoever has the most mana cast rez, or if 3 people are alive and all can cast rez (not uncommon for the shammie-heavy groups i'd think lol) when you hit the button two target a different guy and cast rez... (I know this could be done on a regular macro easily enough by staggering the target, but you could change this button/macro dynamically if your 'group' changed; one less thing to rewrite.

eh, on reflection you would provide the rez-button functionality implicitly if you implement Jamba-Macro =0. Would still be kinda cool to have a key bind for 'rez' and avoid a macro. (smartbuff does it, apparently anyway). Yeah, i'm really lazy.

/jamba gold (planned feature) sounds fun, especially if it would do the math behind the scenes and tell me how much money we collectively have. hehe. (ponders a jamba-auditor or something, lol). I'm all about quasi useless information. Tho, actually, the total would be pretty useful, at least when working towards some goal (like, 3k gold for mounts)

anyway, awesome work =0.

Another feature request. In the TwoBoxToolkit addon it has the slaves auto except resses if they are from the master.

Hey Jaf, great addon here. I was able to clean out ~5 other addons that I used prior to Jamba. :thumbsup:

I am one of the people plagued by the "Player cannot be found" spam. I am in the process of searching this thread for the solution (if it is listed). My dyslexia makes that a chore in itself. lol

Anyone figured out what is causing this???

I can subjectively confirm this. I've been having a quest click bug where the alts won't click the quest completion/accept/etc. buttons for up to 30 seconds. If you sit and wait patiently, though, it will eventually click the correct buttons.

I'll try the "quest silently" workaround tonight.

Thanks for the subjective confirmation Ughmahedhurtz. When you noticed this situation were you getting a lot of "I don't have this quest spam" from the alts or was the traffic from Jamba "normal"?

Please call me stupid if needed. I'm probably totally missing the option needed to fix my problem.

Anyway, I can't get the slaves to NOT mirror my quest reward choice. Im running a paladin and 4 clothies. I obviously don't want everyone to mirror the paladin and choose mail/plate. I unchecked

- Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)
-Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)

and have

- Slave Auto Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)

checked. The rest, to me, dont seem like that they would have anything to do with the quest rewards. I pushed the options to the alts. I have NO idea whats wrong.

1. If you have forward system messages ticked in jamba-talk on; and your master is offline, you will get this message.

2. If you have some jamba-quest options selected and one of your slaves is offline, you will get this message.

So, when ever you start a new playing session load up all your characters, go to the /jamba interface on your main* and unselect any characters that are offline. Then click the push to characters button to tell the other enabled online characters that the offline characters are offline.

So for each character listed in /jamba...

Enabled (ticked) in /jamba = online. Jamba will try to communicate with it.
Disabled (unticked) in /jamba = offline.

Does this help and solve your problem?

*You can actually do this on any character; does not have to be your main.
