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

[wetstreet]

Awesome job Jafula! While I could multibox without Jamba, I would really hate to. Keep up the great work.

The only thing I can think of that is missing is a simple status panel like Multibox V2 has. I use it to see at a glace if everyone is following or not and see the last status message. Multibox has the last message fade to the background color, but I would honestly prefer it faded to another color. Sometimes I'm busy and don't get to it before it fades away. On the other hand, having another color lets me know it is an older message.

As much as I like this idea I think that you would be best off leaving a major combat parser out of the picture until other features are locked down tight.

Agreed. Its a lot of work to something like that. I'd like to do that very much, but start perhaps with interfacing with another mod that does that, SCT or MSBT. Anyone something like that would be cool and is on the todo list.

@zanthor: I've written the follow strobe for you; just have to run it in wow to check; hopefully I'll send it to you tonight.

Cheers! 0.3 is Jamba GUI. If ANYONE has ideas for what to display and how to display it, please post them.

I think a minium is follow status, customisable colours, default red for not following, green for following.
The UI Error and UI Info messages you are referring to that are displayed in the GUI, I think I will just channel them through the current chat/warning system in the /jamba interface. We can tweak this system to display in a GUI if you want and fade, etc.

Do we want to integrate this GUI with toon information, like current stats, free bag space, gold amount etc, or keep it seperate?

What else do you really want to see in a GUI for your slaves?

All ideas welcome and considered.

Superb addon, I've just changed over to jamba dropping multiboxer, backstreet quester and simplifying some macros in the process. I do have a small feature request though.

Any chance the auto-accept quest could have an option to ONLY accept shared quests fromt he master and not directly from NPCs? Having auto-accept turned off makes collecting quests on the leader a pain as you need to accept on all slaves for every one. Having it turned on results in the slaves just grabbing the next quest in a chain from the NPC at hand in even if I am not intending to do it.

The previous addons I was using had this functionality, but of course I had to make all quest hand ins manually if there was a choice of rewards.

Finally, can anyone recommend (or better yet Jamba implement) a quest tracker that shows the progress of the entire party even if the master has completed it? QuestFu almost works, but once the master completes the tracker just changes to <done> and you can no longer follow the progress of slaves without checking their screens. My slave windows are too small to read slave trackers on their own display.

BackseatQuester IMO

GUI Ideas.

SHould be designed so that later, the addition of extra information doesn't break it. For me, options for displayed information should be as follows.

• Clear indicator of follow status. I think info on who is being followed is less important that simply an On/Off view of IF the toon is following someone.
• Option to show who is being followed?
• Bag Space
• XP as a bar and/or as a percent
• Other neato stuff I haven't thought of yet

Hope that helps

First of all, if you have all toons doing the same quests, I'm curious as to why do you not use the default Jamba setup which is to mirror the masters quest actions? As well as this, to speed things along, I usually just accept a quest with my master and then share it with my slaves. I use my "big button" that has the AcceptQuest function in it. This way, share, hit big button, go. I don't run with the auto-accept/auto-complete on. What do you do that's more efficient than me?

How about I add another button to the Jamba-Quest GUI named "Share" - when you click this button it shares the quest with the slaves and they automatically accept it.

Brilliant mod. works well.

More feature requests.
in merchant : Auto Sell soulbound items that are unusable ( except where the usability is a lvl requirement ). I dont even know if this is possible. Maybe take a different tack and auto sell all soulbound items of a certain type ( like leather stuff ). I often take a plate item as a quest reward simply because it will give me the best cash back at a vendor. Of course if you disenchant you might wanna switch this off.
