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

[delafoo]

I get the following error on 3/5 of my toons while multiboxing:



Interface\AddOns\Jamba\JambaComms.lua:2434:attempt to

index local 'playerStatusHealth' (a nil value)


I've turned off their chat reporting to try to fix this to no avail. It wouldn't be a problem but the popup error happens
after every fight or spell cast and makes looting a beotch on my alts.

Thanks!

"...ce\AddOns\Jamba\Libs\AceComm-3.0\ChatThrottleLib.lua:378: text length cannot exceed 255 byes." This message pops, if the message I am receiving is long.

Another weird thing we experienced, when people whispered me long texts .. I forwarded the whispers' I received to them somehow. Milat whispered Biuy with a long message (and Biuy got the above error) and Sandrina whispered Xiuy (my alt character). Aiuy was master, when Milat whispered Biuy with the long text. Biuy was Master, when Sandrina whispered Xiuy. To sum it up, I changed Master between the 2 whispers, I changed Master to the Biuy (to check the error message) that got the message above.

Thanks for reporting this. It happens because I prepend the name of the original sender to the text. I'll add some logic in to split the text over two lines if it gets too big.

As for your problem after the error, my best guess is that once an error occurs, the addons behaviour is undefined. I don't know enough about the internals of wow lua to be able to tell you why the whispers were getting mixed up. I am assuming that without the error occuring, everything works.

I have fixed this problem for the next release. But as a workaround before the release, could you make sure all your toons are in each others team list and enabled? Also turn on the team gui (with experience bars turned on) and make sure all your toons have this option set as well. That should stop the problem. If it doesn't, let me know.

Jafula,

While there are a few errors here and there, you're quick to fix things and add new features.
I'd like to let you know we greatly appreciate your addon.
In particular, you're spending a lot of time on these forums asking what people like and do not like about your work... and then making changes for our benefit.
Thank you for sharing your addon and for the excellent support.

Is there anyway to push the quests I accept to the other toons? I'm still having to manually get and accept quests per toon, even with the default quest options checked in the quest section. Thanks!

You need to open the npcs on each toon before you start accepting quests. Do the action on your master and the rest will follow.

Hey thanks, it is really really nice to get such kind words. I appreciate it. I do get a buzz out of peeps using the addon that I wrote. 8) And the forum support is just something that comes hand and hand with something I'm committed to. Thanks to dual-boxing.com.

Is jamba supposed to auto follow the party leader, or do we need to create a seperate (follow) macro on each toon? I've noticed when I switch toons, and use the 'set me as leader' macro, the rest of the toons no longer follow me. Thx.

Thx.[/quote]I should add, this is after selecting myself as leader and ussing the jamba follow macro from the hydra post:

[i][b]The "Make me leader" button...[/b][/i]

/focus Samam

/jamba setmeasmaster all

/jamba-follow strobeonme all

/script SetView(5);SetView(5);


Start...

/jamba-follow strobeonlast all



Stop...

/jamba-follow strobeoff all

I was assuming Start and Stop Enabled the jamba team to follow the current leader?

Also, somehow eveyone's on auto=follow now... I cant set my spreadout formation as the toons keep hooking back into follow, and run back to me when I try to spread out. Suggestions?

Thanks a million.
