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

[Zuri]

New: Jamba-Follow

* Move follow breaking warning from Jamba-Warning to Jamba-Follow. [Jafula]
* Add an option to specify the text when follow breaks - default to "Follow Broken". [Maat]
* Automatic /follow from the slaves to the master when exiting combat. [Zub]
* /jamba followmaster [Jafula]
* Don't complain about following breaking if not in combat (i.e falling damage). [Tiffany]

Automatic Follow sounds great but could you include '/jamba autofollow on|off|toggle' so that we can easily control it from macros. I probably want it on for most trash but want to toggle it off when sending my tank into a larger group or a boss etc.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I most definitely can!

is it possible to make toons auto pass on loots ?

[Jafula]

ok i cant seem to get chat warning to work when they get hit,
so how his the chat being relay to master maybe i have combat log turned off
also should i MB2 turned off?
also when is the do the auto team work or how?

Thanks for trying out Jamba.

Chat gets relayed through the wow api addon channel. So combat log turned off is ok. The chat warning is probably not working because your characters don't trust each other. To fix this, make sure ALL your characters have each other in their list and that every one is selected (tick in the box) on the member page. You can get this member page by typing /jamba.

Your slave must have your master in its list and the tick box selected.
Your master must have your slave in its list and the tick box selected.

MB2 and Jamba do similar things; you can have both running at once; but they conflict a lot in their functionality and its not good to have two addons trying to do the same thing. I suggest you have one do one thing and the other not do that thing.

I hope that helps and you get the chat warnings to work.

Do you mean when you are in a group with other players and you get the pass/greed/need window appear? And you want your toons to automatically pass? I can certainly see if this is possible to do and if it is, I'll add this as an option into jamba-group.

Yes that is what i mean and thx

Maybe throw in an option to have your alts opt out of random loot as well.

[quote='Ughmahedhurtz',index.php?page=Thread&postID =120181#post120181]Also, as a follow-up to the delays when group-selecting quest accept/complete/etc., I was able to reproduce it mainly when spam was coming across (xxx does not have quest blah). I did, however, try setting them all to "Silently Quest" or whatever the silent checkbox is. It helped but I was still able to reproduce 5-9 second delays where w/o silent, it was 20-40 seconds. Improved but hopefully your planned updates will resolve the rest of that latency.[/quote]I have Mobmap installed (not updated in a while). On my quest log, if I collapse a quest headers (group), so the quests underneath the header are invisible, I get this spam / delay problem...

Mobmap hooks the QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event. In the handler for this event, Mobmap can call ExpandQuestHeader and CollapseQuestHeader. It also calls SelectQuestLogEntry which is what Jamba picks up on and uses to send a select quest command to the slaves.

Mobmap works when the quest window is hidden. Mobmap is calling ExpandQuestHeader inside a handler for QUEST_LOG_UPDATE; problem is that ExpandQuestHeader causes the QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event to fire, which then calls this handler, which then calls ExpandQuestHeader, causing QUEST_LOG_UPDATE, ... infinite loop (well until you expand all your quest headers).

Jamba goes for a ride on this infinite loop and sends commands to the slaves EVERY UPDATE. Noooooo.... ;( This is what slows all the commands down and is A cause of the delays.

If you are curious install about what events are happening in the background, you can install the [url='http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info3999-DevTools.html']devtools addon[/url] . Type /dtevents to see the event listed as they happen.

I could uninstall MobMap; but then all your fine folk might have similar (slightly buggy in certain situation) addons like this as well; so I can't beat this that way. My solution is to only send Jamba quest commands when the quest log frame is visible. (And I don't collapse my headers in my quest logs anymore.)

(Aside: I love MobMap and I mean no offense to Slarti; its a quick fix for Mobmap to stop this and it only happens if you have collapsed quest header groups; its just that MobMap affects Jamba and I'd like to let others know about this problem as you may have the same setup as me.)

If you have MobMap installed and are getting command delays; try and make sure all your quest header groups are expanded.

So I have implemented a rule to only do Jamba-Quest commands when the QuestLogFrame is visible. Which solves the problem! And is a logic thing to do. Coming to you in 0.2. Edit: This does not apply to the slave auto-accept, auto-accept-escort and auto-complete quest options.

Is there any one out there using Jamba-Quest, that has a non-standard quest log or other addons that they think might have similar behaviour?

Nice addon. Only thing I missed was a "auto-free-for-all" function, so I've added that to the group module. I can send you the changes if you want, not sure how you want them? (I can make a diff file, or just PM you the new files)

Also, some features that would be nice:
- Reagent tracker
- Party members XP info
- Bag space / gold info
- Cooldown info (So clones can warn when some cooldown is up)

Thanks for the compliment, glad you like the addon! And that you are a keen lua hacker as well. :thumbup:

I've already added the auto-free-for-all functionality into jamba-group ready for 0.2, but I'd be keen to see your changes anyway (how you have done it, coding style, etc). I'm definitely open to considering patches. A PM of the diff will be fine; I've got the 0.1a release in a subversion branch so I can easily see what you have done.

If you spot any "bugs" in Jamba please do tell!

Most of your feature requests are on the roadmap; I'll add the ones that are not. I'm not exactly 100% sure what you mean by reagent tracker. Do you want to see how many ankhs your shaman slaves have left on your masters screen for instance?

Looking forward to the diff.
