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

[Jafula]

Sorry Jaf but this wasnt quite the problem i had

the problem was that even after switching the focus using my focus macro i have bound to F8 to F12
which consists of:
/focus {name}
/jamba setmemaster all
and some graphic settings

that the autofollow after combat got screwed up and it doesnt autofollow the new jamba master neither the new focus char.
instead it autofollows the FIRST char to have been jamba master at log in

even though it changed master in jamba, (i clearly see in the jamba settings on all accounts that the master got changed)
even though focus is set correctly on each char.

hope you see where im going, if you want more information on how to reproduce this let me know !
and i just like to repeat myself and everyone else

Awesome addon ! keep it up, and did i miss it or have you not added a paypal link yet ?

Ah, I do see, and yes, I'll fix it. It's cool you like the addon and find it useful. No paypal link (yet). I don't even have a paypal account .

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but when you talk to the questgiver on your main, do the slaves also talk to the quest-giver?
ZQB + 5box + talking to questgiver on all 5 = pain.

I mean I would settle for a command (that I could put in a macro/bind to a key) that would make my slaves talk/loot the target when pressed.

I'm rambling, sorry.

Ramble away! Don't be sorry, I love rambling myself . My better half is too polite to tell me to shut up, poor thing! (See, that's a good ramble.) What you are asking for cannot be done by an addon (AFAIK). You'll need to investigate mouse broadcasting programs (like hotkeynet or octopus). There are plenty of posts on this topic. I still manually click all 5 quest givers!

I am trying to make my toons auto buy reagents. But i couldnt manage it. I added the item and quantity. But still when i open the vendor nothing happens.

Did you add a tag to your items? Both your characters and the item have to have the same tag. Please reply back if that doesn't make sense and I'll explain some more.

Is there a command line for Set Master as Target I can add to a macro? Prior to Jamba I had a macro that I would hit after every combat to do 2 things: reset follow to my master and set my master as the slaves' target. I don't use targettarget or focus as I'm one of those that wants my slaves to target a current mob while I may have my master (Paladin) targeting other mobs for aggro management. So, my DPS macros are all

#showtooltip frostbolt
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] frostbolt
/stopmacro [exists,harm,nodead]
/assist party1
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] frostbolt

Of this variety. If there is another way to have my slaves all retarget my master after combat has ended (i.e., automated method) that's even better.

Thanks.

Ok, there is no way to do the automated targeting to the master, you need to press a key. Jamba sets up a macro like

/target master

where master changes to the name of the master character (when the master changes). You can access this macro by binding a key to it. If you look in the keybinds for Jamba you will see a binding for a "Set Master As Target" key. You can bind a key to that on all of your characters to have them target the master. BUT for this to work, you also have to check the option in the /jamba Team tab called "Set Target To Master When Changing Master". Now you have a key that will target the master when you press it.

Please note that if you change masters in combat, Jamba cannot update the target master macro to the new master. But it works great if you have one dedicated master that does not change very often.

Does that answer your question?

I forgot to reply back about my previous post. Thanks for the fix with the Text.
Everything seems to be working pretty damn good.

Thank you for the feedback. I was hoping my fix would work. Yay!

I read that you're working on a Nightfall proc alert. I was curious if there would be a way to expand that to include other procs and/or abilities. Just being able to flag certain icons to show up super-big on alts would be useful, I would think, especially with changes coming up in 3.0.2. If you could flag, say, Eclipse, Nightfall and Missile Barrage procs to be 5-10x bigger icons that would be swell. Maybe a super-big casting bar as well?

Yes, the plan is for cooldowns from all your characters to be channelled somewhere (to the master) and displayed in certain ways. Nothing definite yet, but my 3 minute mage is a 10 hour mage and that sucks, so its a driving force for me to implement the system (including procs). If you have any more ideas on how you would like this to be done, please post here.

I've thought about the Jamba release frequency and I need to be consistent. So I am changing my release plans. Basically I'm going to work on 1 feature and bug fixes for a week. Then I'm going to release on the weekend.

This way, I get feedback quicker, it's more discipline and motivation for me to make this thing happen. So some weeks might only be bug fixes, but hopefully I'll be able to add features in as well.

I'll update the version number as I see fit and I'll list the changes I make each version, so you can decide when the correct time for you to upgrade Jamba is.

I hope you all appreciate this will mean a quicker turn-around and a better addon for us all. So please feedback bugs, etc as you notice them as I personally do not use all the features in Jamba and when I do play Wow, I want to level my team to 70 (er, 80 at my rate) rather than test everything.

Well since this is a multi-boxing mod (and an awesome one: you rule) I think that most folks will have their non-main windows visible, but not immediately in front of them. So something like making the proc icon really big, or making the screen pulse red/blue/green/whatever when you have a proc, something that you can see out of the corner of your eye I think would work really well. While sending the info to the main would be nice as well I think something on the alt screen would work too (and might be easier to implement?).

Getting the screen to pulse when you have a Missile Barrage proc would allow a multi-boxer to run an Arcane mage, which would be nice. Well... would allow more of us less-observant multi-boxers to run an Arcane mage, I suppose...

I'm only 3 boxing, but since I play on a laptop with relatively small screen, I've got them all maximized and only see the current leader's screen. So anything that send info to the main in a small compact format would be money for me. :thumbsup:

I like the idea of moving to a relatively scheduled update plan, and I agree it'll be motivational (at least for a while, eventually you'll be dragging yourself to the coding).

One thing to always let us know when you do update, whether we need to dump old files before installing and which ones.

I haven't made the move to 0.2b yet for that reason.

Love the Jamba though, boom de yada.
