[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. 12th Update - 0.4d released.[/url]

one key to set the master and forget about f8-f12 just f8 !!!

I'm still having problems (on my f8-f12 system). If I impliment the above macro based on my toons (vantica, ventica, vintica, vontica, vyntica), I just have to hit F8 to set leader? will f8-12 still allow main screen switching?[/quote]When your on your main toon windows... the push of your 'focus me' macro is done with the combination I've explained in the quoted post
when you select another window, this window become the front window and the keystroke is sent to this front windows and every char now focus and follow the char in this front window
BUT
this can't be used to switch windows with keyclone because the maximizer switch windows while the front window is selected... so as far as I know, no way !

Hmm... well it varies... it seems like Jamba sometimes 'hangs' with Master, or updates. Not sure why, I"ve got a sick pc with a dedicated cable internet line.

Sometimes the 'master', when switched, seems to focus on the previous master, which can be annoying. Sometimes it seems like it takes a few mins before everything syncs up.

im having a problem with the /jamba setmeasmaster all macro. im triple boxing deathknights and when i swap windows with keyclones PiP and hit the macro to make the next DK the master it takes forever for it to kick in. so the current toon is constantly auto following my previous master and all teh whispers get fwd back to that toon and so on. sometimes io just sit and spam the macro (its not keybound i just use the mouse to click it)

Most of teh time i have to open teh jamba window and manually set the new master and use push to all button

any ideas? anyone else having tihs problem? and yes i do have the latest download

thnx in advance

I'm at work so I can't find the link, but someone posted a macro once to use in conjunction with the PiP function of keyclone. You basically macro each toon to the same key you use to swap them to the main screen, and it tells the toon that became the "master" to tell the other ones in Jamba "setmeasmaster all". It also tells the other ones "/focus <main toon>" as well as resetting the jamba follow strobe.



For example, I used F5-F8 with a 4 box team. If my main died, and I hit F6, the macro(s) made it the master in jamba, set the others focus to that toon, and set them to following it. If I did a lot of fast switching I occasionally ran into issues, but all in all it was simple and effective. I think it looked something like this (but again, not positive)

Hit F6...that toon becomes main screen and this macro goes off:

/clearfocsu

/jamba setmeasmaster all

/jamba strobeonme all


and each of the other toons had F6 macrod to

/focus <toon F6>



Sorry, I know it's not technically correct, just tryin to point you in the right direction for something that worked well for me.



****EDIT Found it in another post on this thread. Jafular rules!******

How to switch masters and follow strobe using Focus:

1. Set up your team in the team tab and push to characters.
2. Goto the main Jamba options. Click the switch tab. Check the "On Focus Change Set Master To Focus" box. Click push to characters.
3. Make macros:
   The "Make me leader" button...
   /focus NewLeaderToon
   /jamba-follow strobeonme all
   /script SetView(5);SetView(5);
   
   The "Make someone else a leader" button...
   /focus NewLeaderToon
   /script SetView(5);SetView(5);
   
   How to switch masters and follow (not strobing) using Focus:
   
   
   
   1. Set up your team in the team tab and push to characters.
   2. Goto the main Jamba options. Click the switch tab. Check the "On Focus Change Set Master To Focus" box. Click push to characters.
   3. Make macros:
      The "Make me leader" button...
      /focus NewLeaderToon
      /jamba-follow master all
      /script SetView(5);SetView(5);
      
      The "Make someone else a leader" button...
      /focus NewLeaderToon
      /script SetView(5);SetView(5);

I seem to have this "jamba lag" too. My screen swapping keys, F8-F12 also enable my new leader. I haven't tried the macro types listed here, and I will to see if that works better... for the moment I use just /focus <toon> and it has been working well.... I used to have /focus <toon> on all the slaves and also /setmeasmasterall on the intended master toon but was having problems there... Hopefully these posted macros will fix it.


*** update*****

After trying the above macros, I've found what is about the only functional way Jamba will work for me, with following the leader, is to simply have /focus <desired toon> bound to f8-f12 (and set focus to master selected in switch). However, once the switch is made, the New Main toon keeps refocusing, restrobing on the previous master, very very very annoying, as it keeps snapping the main toon back to following the previous master. Even while the current toon is shown as the focus. It seems to take between 1 and 5 minutes before Jamba finally realizes that <current toon> is the main toon and it quits focusing, and forcint the following, of the previous master (just the current main toon does this, the rest of the group focuses correctly)...
Suggestions?

Quoted from "Darm"[/url]


I'm trying to get Jamba-Target working. I re-downloaded 0.4d today.

When I put a mark a target with a raid icon, the shaman that I want to target that target doesn't do anything. Instead in my text window this appears "/target Dragonflayer Ironhelm". So I know that something is getting passed to that toon, but it's not quite working that way I would hope.

Secondly, in my key bindings there are options for "Target 1 (Star)", "Target 2 (Circle)" etc. I'm not sure what these do, when I bind a key to these, I'm not noticing that anything happens either on my screen or the followers' screens. Any help? Thank you.

Try this:

I have the same problem like Darm and can't fint the solution with the posted link. Can anybody please help me out?

--> ok, found the solution. It was simple... the Toon have to look on the target, too ^^ . Thats all.

I have seen the problems you are having when switching master. I thought I caught most of them with the updates after the updated vehicle follow patch.

So, make sure you are using the latest version of Jamba.

From memory, I think that it may be possible for the master to get out of sync in high lag situations if you use the Focus method (which you are). I need to investigate this more.

Switch OFF the "set focus to master selected" in the switch menu and try the following macros for switching master:

On the toon that is going to be the master:
/jamba setmeasmaster all
/jamba-follow strobeonme all
/focus NewMasterToon

On all the other toons:
/focus NewMasterToon

Also, it seems like the messages Jamba sends between toons are taking a long time to get through. Are all your wow instances running at least 20fps? If not, the message rate is halved (which is bad). This is because of a third party library I am using.

Please let me know if you are having problems with those macros; they should work without issue.

Are all your wow instances running at least 20fps?

I run my slaves at 30 fps on the one that is active (I play full screen only) and 5 fps on the backgrounds that are not active, I have a problem with things updating jamba very slowly. The leader is at 60 fps on another computer. Is there a work around this 20fps limit?

Yes;

You are going to need to find ALL instances of ChatThrottleLib.lua in your Interface/Addons folder and change this line (its near the top of the file):

ChatThrottleLib.MIN_FPS = 20 -- Reduce output CPS to half (and don't burst) if FPS drops below this value

Change the 20 to 4 in your case and see what happens. If your clients start getting disconnected; then you will need to adjust this value and your background fps in tandem.
