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

[bbj]

as far as the gui goes, i dont wanna see a new combat mod.

rather, i wanna see stuff that the combat mods dont show, like my XP, %of rep of whatever the last rep was that i gained.

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.

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.

Sounds like we work in a similar way, I'm just not used to having to accept quests on the slaves when sharing. I do run mirror master to make quest hand-ins and move on to the next quest in a chain. When collecting new quests I will run the master around and share them from my quest log. It's the implementation of quest sharing that has changed from the old addon I was using as I was originally able to share and the slaves would automatically accept, they would not however auto-accept a quest when interacting with an NPC. Under Jamba these two functions are "tied together" and I'm unable to have one without the other.

With auto-accept quest on, mirror master will follow correctly until the next quest in a chain is offered at which point the slaves will auto-accept it (even if it's kill Elune with a pointed stick).
With auto-accept off I need to make at least two actions to share a quest from my masters log instead of one, and previous addons have shown that it's technically possible for this not to be necessary (although I'd not setup a "big button" I will look into that).

I'll bind the AcceptQuest function so I don't have to click in each slave window next session when I turn auto-accept off. Jamba share button would well I think.

Talking "Would be nice to have" would it be possible on quests with reward options for us to select a reward on each toon and then click "complete quest" once on the master and have all toons complete with their specific reward? Would be nice when there are follow up quests =D

Thanks again for the mod, it really is superb.

First off, I absolutely love your addon. It rocks and simplifies boxing immensely.

I'm trying to set up a leaderless system, with five toons.
When switching toons, I use my G15 to:
- Send maximizer PiP hotkey to bring that toon's window to the front.
- Target that toon with all toons and make her my focus.
- Clear target and script to make her the party leader.

In the Jamba options there's something like:
- Focus follows master and Promote new master to party leader.
I cannot seem to get this to work, but it would simplify my G15 macro (which bugs out occasionally when server latency gets high).

However, when I switch windows (without my G15 script) to a new master, Jamba still thinks the old toon is the master.
My old toon still has the focus and when I move the new toon around, the original master gets the follow broken message.

How can I make Jamba recognize that a new toon is the master?
Is there a command I can issue, so my G15 will press the Maximizer PiP command to bring the new toons window to the front,
while simultaneously sending a command (to all wow clients) letting them know which toon is the new master?







Feature request.

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but if you could have the slaves open/activate the same npc as the master clicks on.
That's the only improvement for the Jamba questing abilities I can think of; your addon does everything else wonderfully.

Absolutely great addon. Thanks a lot for making all that work available to everyone.

I was using TwoBox Toolkit until yesterday, but I got sick of people continuously asking me why I asked them to follow (TwoBox Toolkit works by issuing a /follow me command which is received by everybody around as a "Fef requires you to follow her" or something like that). Anyway, moving to Jamba, I was up and running in less than 15 minutes with the same functionality as before, and much more.

Features I love :
- Flawless (and SILENT) follow system
- Automatization of quest turn-in an flight node (I run for slave on tiny thumbnails view on the side of my screen, so this helps a lot)
- The warnings (follow broken, alt being attacked and such) are actually visible (appearing on the screen, with a warning noise, much better than chat window only)
- Auto-sell, auto-buy (replaces nicely AutoProfit I was using before)
- The Push Settings option (now that's a great idea !)

Features I would love to see :
- NPC opening automatically on alts, but I am under the understanding that this is not possible (short of using tricks like the ones used in the auto-skin macro and such)
- Automatization of talent points distributions and spell learning at the trainer (no clue how hard this could be)

Features I would like to see but I realize how vain I am for just asking :
- An exclusion list of grey items to be automatically sold. My Draenei Shaman team all wear the Blood Elves Rogue starting outfit (looks great) when in town, and I would not like the outfit to be sold. Yes, I am that shallow.


That's about what I had to say, except perhaps or another big thank you !

GUI Feature...

Haze the screen red if yer dead... Like a red lense over it, make an option to set the alpha and color...

Jamba-PIP... This is something I'd use pretty heavily, but I don't know that others would... A large display overlay that shows in a bright high contrast manner what hotkey brings that window to your focus/main. The label would really need to be customizable because not everyone uses a standard keystroke... I'd like mine for example to be A B C D E and fill just under 1/4th the client window on the smaller windows...

That way at a glance I know which button brings which toon to the front, when I used to have a "main" this was less important, but nowdays with the leaderless setup that I have now I often forget that I'm on client C and have A B D and E available to swap to.

Can't open NPC's, just a reality.
Talent points would be easy between classes, especially with the tag system so you could talent out 4 shaman one way and a 5th as resto, etc...

As for the keeping grays... my god man, don't you run out of bagspace? :P.

xcellent addon very well done!!

Thank you for using Jamba and providing feedback. I love it when you tell me the things you like about it.

Definitely keen to do the talent point idea at some stage. I'll add your exclusion list in 0.3.

How's that follow strobing working out for you? When I was playing with it, it was like my slaves were attached to my master with an elastic band. Hold down a movement key and they move away. Let go and they automatically run back. I spent too much time just doing that...

[/quote][url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=125677#post125677']Focus information is here[/url] . Short answer; don't use the automatic set focus; because it does not work outside of combat. Keep your current macros for focus. But you can change master and promote using Jamba.

You need to use

/jamba setmeasmaster all

in your switch macro.

This command tells "all" - thats all your characters that the character that issued this command is now to be the master.

Make sure all your toons have the "all" tag. If you also have the "promote" to leader option set in Jamba-Group; when that command is run, if one of your toons is the party leader and has been told about a new master, it will promote the new master to party leader.

I just set this system up last night using Jamba - exactly like you want - the key to do the pip swap and the same key also ran the /jamba setmeasmaster all macro.
