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

[Blubber]

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

Hehe, well, I'm a keen python hacker, not so much with lua, but it's ok .

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.

I just copied your style in this case, since it's your source. Anyway, I'll PM you my JambaGroup.lua and JambaCore.lua files.

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?

With the reagent tracker I mean some kind of frame that tells you how much of a certain item the clones have, like Ankhs, soulshards, arrows, drink and food stuff like that. You can easily integrate this with a clone gold / free bag space frame.

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?

I use Carbonite and experienced some pretty serious delays when I tried Jamba. I've since uninstalled Jamba since it was unreliable and turned my old tools back on with the intent of tracking down the problem later... I run a pretty heavy UI so there may be other issues of interop at hand as well... the big problem I have at the moment is with RAF burning my 90 day timer, I've got my locks to 40 now, I expect they'll hit 60 this weekend without much effort... I'll take a week off leveling in between the locks and my boomkin group... so I'll rework some UI love then.

Sweet, thanks for the information. I'll have a look at Carbonite and see how Jamba behaves with the new 0.2 fixes. After discovering the mobmap issue, I'm not surprised you were getting serious delays. If you are up to PM'ing me a list of your addons, I'm up for trolling through them all looking for quest event handlers and hooks that might affect Jamba. I'm all for getting Jamba stable and be able to play nice with as many addons as possible.

RAF > Addons. Enjoy your lock levelling!

Hmm...I'm running carbonite quest as well. Might be something to that if more than one CQ user is seeing it.

I definitely do not collapse my quest logs (I use QuestsFu) so I know that's not part of my particular experience.

Thanks again, Jafula, for helping us help you resolve this.

Just wanted to give a big thanks for this awesome addon! Loving it
One thing tho, maybe have the "auto decline group invite" OFF by default, since the first time you wanna invite someone, they decline, and then you have to open Jamba and change that setting before you can group up
Just a "I'm too lazy, so maybe we can change the program"-suggestion

Thank you for your thanks! Sure, I can do that, that is a much friendlier out of the box setting. Are they other defaults that people think would be friendlier out of the box?

THanks for this add on I love it

There is one request I have For the follow command section

on the change area event It auto follows the leader.


meaning when you go through a loading zone it auto makes them follow again

You could make it a check box option so if they don't want they don't have to use it

Thanks and love

Great addon! Was wondering 2 things though:

1. Is there a way to incorporate the auto-accept trades script into your mod? So I can open up a trade with my slave and as soon as I hit "Trade," he automatically accepts/trades?

2. I'm having problems where my slave is choosing the same quest reward my main is choosing and then completing the quest with the wrong reward choice.
This is what I have checked in Jamba-Quest:

• Mirror Master Quest Selection
• Slave Auto Accept Escort Quest
• Mirror Master Decline Quest
• Mirror Master Abandon Quest
• Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice)
• Mirror Master Quest Watch

I don't have the Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) selected at all, but it still seems to do it for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

1. Unfortunately no, AcceptTrade() is a protected API function and addons cannot call it. So you need your "big button" macro to do this for you on a key press.

2. To fix this; try and follow the steps below (and the don't change the quest settings after you get it working). There is something not quite configured correctly with the defaults. I have made changes to fix this, just need to test them. Try test runs on lowbie quests where you don't care about the reward (if you can). Let me know if you are still having issues after this tweaking.

I ran into a weird one yesterday, with a new team.
I had Mirror Master Complete Quest (No Reward Choice) checked and Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) unchecked

Yet all the slaves just selected the reward.

Checked it agai,n pushed it out again... no joy

So then I checked Mirror Master Complete Quest (WITH Reward Choice) pushed it out
then unchecked it and pushed it out

And it worked as expected, the slaves stopped mirroring the master if there was a reward.

Weird I tells ya.

Also there is a bug where complete quest will not work properly unless mirror master quest watch is also selected.

To fix this now before 0.2; you can make sure Mirror Master Quest Watch is always selected.
-OR-
you can change line 991 in JambaQuest.lua

function JambaQuest:DoSelectQuestLogEntry( sender, questName )

-- If the mirror master option is on...
if self.db.mirrorMasterQuestWatch then
-- If the sender was not this character and is the master then...
if (sender ~= self.playerName) and (self.comms:CharacterIsTheMaster( sender )) then
local questIndex = GetQuestLogIndexByName( "  "..questName )
if questIndex then

Change line 4 above (line 991 in the JambaQuest.lua) to

if self.db.mirrorMasterQuestSelection then

Also, make sure you are using Jamba-0.1a. Lots of bug fixes and stability fixes coming in 0.2.

Glad you like the addon, I'll see if I can make that change for you.
