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

[Jafula]

I would love to see the messages on slaves screen. I dunno how I mean the messages like " you are facing the wrong direction" while trying to cast something to a mob, "skin failed" , "mine failed". These types of warning.

And something i experienced this weekend. My slaves were very slow on accepting quests.After my main accepts the quests it takes 30 to 45 secs for my slaves .This didnt happen before and I am using "quest silently".

Thx for all great effort. And PM me if you want to beta test your new version.

I think the messages you are referring to are UI error and UI info messages. The plan is to add an option to forward those as well (0.3).

The slow on accepting quests should be gone in 0.2. Currently, the quest silently workaround was just a way of lessening the spam that got sent. There probably is still some invisible spam happening in the background which is contributing to your delay. I suspect it will be one of your other addons affecting it. Although I can't prove anything.

I'd love the beta test help, if you're willing to do that, I'd be very grateful. :love: I'll do some quick tests myself (tonight) and then I'll PM you the download location for 0.2pre. Thanks!

I'm using Jamba at the moment and loving it - thanks for a great addon!

Is there a /script line I can use to manually change the master from a macro? I'm using the leaderless/focusless system that I found on these forums, so I often use Keyclone's PiP switching to switch main character, but Jamba still thinks of the configured toon as the master, so I'd love to be able to press a key to tell Jamba the master has changed. Is this possible?

Yes, its been developed and coming in 0.2.

/jamba setmaster <target> <tag>

and

/jamba setmeasmaster <tag>

The command is typed/macroed on one toon and all the toons with the tag supplied execute the command as well. There is a default tag of "all" for each toon. You can add your own tags as well.

I'm guessing that in your case, you add "/jamba setmeasmaster all" to your switch macro on each character. Easy.

Jamba can do this IN combat.

Another addition you might like is the ability to send messages/warnings to a private channel. So all your toons have the channel in a chat frame and all the messages/warnings go to that channel. Or party chat or guild chat.

Hey Jaf, first off thanks for this imba addon, it definitely made multiboxing a breeze.
I ran into the same issue with quest reward selection and something that I didnt see mentioned is that it looks like the addon is misreading quest info (or one of my addons is causing it to do so). I say this because I see chat messages from Jamba saying 'Choices: 0', 'Choices: 2' etc when i'm about to complete the quest and yet some times that info is wrong, eg it's a quest with a gold reward yet I see 'Choices: 2' in my chat messages.

I am using QuestAnnouncer, Lightheaded(on Master only) and DoubleWide for questing, should I try disabling all 3 of them and see if the problems persist?

Thanks for the information. I'll make sure I note what my slaves say the choices are when I do my testing.

Sure, if you wouldn't mind disabling those addons and trying. Then we could narrow the problem down to Jamba (or wow api) or an addon. Did you see my mobmap comment above? There are other non-quest addons that like to read the quest information as well (as I discovered).

Can you remember if the choices were ever wrong when there was a choice? E.g. its a quest with a choice of rewards and you see 'Choices: 0'.

(I'm wondering if the quest info is updated properly from the api when there are no reward choices. I'll have a closer look at Blizzards quest code and see if I can match what they do exactly.)

Thanks for reporting that issue; as I have found the problem (it's Jamba). There are two ways of finding quest rewards, one for when you have the quest log open and another for when you are displaying the actual quest. I was using the log (wrong) one. :wacko:

To fix this now, you can edit JambaQuest.lua and replace all 3 instances of "GetNumQuestLogChoices" with "GetNumQuestChoices". It is fixed in Jamba-0.2.

Giev more cookies^H^H^H^H^H^H^H bug reports :P

Neat, I made the changes and i'm off to level my 2nd team to 60 so plenty of quests to test it!

Here's an idea for an addition to Jamba...

I've only been multiboxing for a few days, but I've already spammed guildchat with accidental chat from all characters a few times. Some people in the guild find it annoying. :whistling:

So would it be possible to stop all messages to /g from all character but the master? I know I could remove them from the guild, but then I'd not be able to see /g when I switch main.

I loaded this up last night and my mouse started doing "Stupid mouse tricks". It would just stop and then jump to another portion of the screen. I run two boxes with Mutliplicity and Hotkeynet, the primary(Master) machine has on monitor and the "Slave" machine has 2 monitors. I'll try it again this evening but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this happen.

Anyway great work Jafula :thumbsup:
