First up, Jamba-Quest 0.2 is a lot better than it is in 0.1a (IMHO).

So, I've been doing a little testing on Jamba-Quest.

Without any "questing" addons, seems fine.

With the following "quest" addons installed: QuestHelper, CarboniteQuest, QuestsFu, MobMap (as well as Cartographer, full Auctioneer, Bartender 4, X-Perl Unit Frames, Jamba, DevTools, some others).

Small Problem

The "problems" are mainly to do with the quest log; accepting/declining/completing quests from npcs seems fine.

When I select a quest ... no delay.

When I abandon a quest ... delay of about 10 seconds. I watch my quest log get "parsed" twice, so the slaves run through all the quests they have twice. This is because those addons are calling select quest behind the scenes and Jamba hooks this functionality. I have tried to accept a quest immediately after this; and have had to wait for the other addons to finish "parsing" before the slaves would accept the quest.

I have described fixes in previous posts to help with the delay. I have another proposal.

Proposed Solution

Edit: Made a Jamba-Quest GUI instead after feedback from beta testers. All delay problems solved.

[s]I'm going to add an option to only send commands to slaves when modifier keys are pressed. For instance, only send select quest, abandon quest, quest watch commands when ctrl and alt are pressed. This is going to default to off. You can choose the modifier keys (alt, ctrl, shift - either or left or right).

So you run Jamba-Quest (0.2); if you find you get unacceptable delays, you can turn on the "Only send commands if modifier key pressed" option. Then you have to remember to have the modifier keys pressed when doing select, abandon, watch commands. (And you must remember to select before abandon...)

Should I apply this "modifier key down" only to the quest log or to the npc quest interactions as well?

This solution is for YOU. (I personally won't be using it.) Is this an acceptable solution for those who plan to use Jamba-Quest? Would you use it?

Please comment if you can spare the time. [/s]

Thanks, Jafula.
