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

[Jafula]

@zanthor,Ken,Talos

I have PM'd you with a link to the 0.2b2 test version. It contains the new "on focus change, set master to focus" option that Ken requested and an addition to the follow strobe system for zanthor.

I'm using the focus as master system now (over the [target=targettarget], master as target system) and I love it so much. Ken's idea, makes it so easy to swap master; just a macro with /focus toon on each character. Brilliant. Thanks for suggesting it Ken.

There are reviews? Eeek. Or just this thread? Glad you like it!

Just this thread. It's technically reviews!

I read somewhere else in this forum ( I can't find it or I would link it) that a program that forwards whispers, or lets you use an emote like /followme to automatically have your toons follow you is in fact automation and therefore against the ToS and to be avoided. I had just installed multibox toolkit.
Having just made the leap to 4 accounts, I don't want to risk them over something as simple as auto follow help. Is this ADDON okay to use or is it something to be wary of?
Mind you, I am not criticizing, I just want to make sure I have a grip on the "rules" of multiboxing, both because people have been asking me about it and also to keep from bringing any heat on multiboxers in general through ignorance.

YES THIS ADDON IS OK TO USE.

Anything an addon can do is approved by Blizzard. Blizzard make the rules. Thet only let certain commands be used; the others are protected and an addon cannot use them. Personally, I wouldn't risk the money and time I have put into my multiboxing with anything that would get me banned. I've been using this addon for a the majority of my boxing time and never had any issues and I've been "reported" about 10 times.

You'll be fine with any World of Warcraft addon you download that works.

You're welcome and thank you for the implementation, I will test it out tonight.

Let me share you some macros I made for a focus-based setup (which is mostly interesting if you have shamans):

I found that thread I was talking about here: Need macro help

IMO whisper casting seems harmless of all the things that could be possible "automated".
I am going to give Jamba a try, it seems to incorporate much of what I need to help me out. I'm amazed by you folks who are coding these amazing addons in your spare time. I'm lucky if I can write a decent in game macro.

Hi,
just stopping by to thank you for this incredible addon. I just started using it a few days ago and it is great.
Thank you and keep up the good work,

I will add an assist master function in 0.3 for you; but to use it you will have to bind a key to the "Jamba Assist Master" function. And to assist, you will have to press the key. So perhaps you are better off using your current macro set; that way you can incorporate your /assist along with a command like attack or cast.

Doesn't sound like there's really any reason to go ahead and add that in, unless others actually want it. Sounds like I would be better off just using the assist macro I'm already using (easy enough).


I did have one other idea, and I'm sure even if it could be implemented it would probably take a back seat to other more pressing things to add, but I thought I would throw it out there. Since you can send the settings to other chars for the addon, do you know if its possible to push game settings to other toons as well? Say... Keybindings for instance. I go in and set all my keybinds for one, then instead of going to each one, I could just hit "Push to Other Characters" and they then have the same keybinds. I realize there are a couple of batch files somewhere on these forums that others have written for this exact function, but I have yet to get one to function properly for me. Just an idea.

And as far as the follow, I'm apparently an idiot, lol. I see it right on the first post you made. I hadn't noticed the /commands before I guess, just picked up a few here and there from reading thru the forum.

Thanks again!
