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

[Jafula]

Jafula, you rock! I use WowMatrix to update my addons, and i just noticed that version 0.4d showed up there for an update. Thanks a bunch for this addon, and thanks for making it easy to update now.

Haha. Well, it was not me. Cheeky. I was waiting until 0.5 to do that. Still, I'm surprised it took someone this long to do this. If it works, it works...

[Jafula]

Hi Jafula, any news on the 0.5 update ? are you waiting for 3.1 to be released ?
thax

Yes news I cant wait

Not good. I am holiday and cannot update Jamba until May. This means that when 3.1 comes and if Jamba breaks, I'm not going to be in a position to help. Hopefully other mod developers might step in and send me any fixes they do...

Hi Jafula,

I have a question about Jamba focus. I have Set Focus to Master when changing Master set. I also have tried using the /jamba setmeasmaster all and /jamba setfocusmaster all and /jamba setfocus NAME all. NAME being my master's name. All 4 of those cause my slaves to report back that their focus is my Master but none of them actually set their focus. Also macros like /assist focus or /target focus do not work.

All I want is for my slaves to Set the Master as focus and then assist focus. Now I did make a normal macro with my Master's name, but sometimes I change masters so using Jamba to set the master as focus would be best.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Addons cannot set focus for you. The best I can do, is get the addon to make a macro that does set the focus and a keybind to that macro.

So when you see the messages from the slaves saying that the focus is the master, then you need to press the key you assigned to Jamba Focus in the WoW keybind menu (make sure you broadcast this key to all your instances of WoW). Please note that focus changing does not work in combat. You will have to wait until you are out of combat and try again.

Hi Jafula,

thanks for this awsome addon. Using it for about a week now and cant imagine to play ever without it.
I found another addon, which combined to jamba would rock. I'm talking about JasonQuest. The author stopped developing last november. So it might be possible to use his code.
Just to mirror the toons quests to the booster and keep them tracked.

Thanks!

do you still have to make upi the macros like before when multi boxing to get all your toons to attack the same as your main?

Yes.

What, jamba doesn't actually play for you all the other 4 toons ? damn... not as great as I heard it was...

j/k: Jamba is the awesomest addon ever for boxers !!!

[delafoo]

... So now in the Switch tab I only have Display Switch Messages checked, and the new macros as listed previously in and I get nothing.

No one focuses., no one follows. All switch tabs are the same.

Bizarre.

Do all your toons have the tag "all"?

On your master character, if you type into the console

/jamba-follow strobeonme all

do all your other toons start to follow that toon?

They did have the all tag... I will try the strobe command and see what it does.

strobe command doesn't really work either... not sure if the update 'f-ed me up or what. Still have to use just /focus Toon for macros as it is the only thing that will work.
Suggestions?

With Jamba every toon in your team should have the exact same settings as every other toon.

Does the push to characters button only push that one page, or all settings? It appears to push just the current settings page, which is expected behavior. I'd like, though, a "push all settings from all pages" button, to make sure all settings are perfectly matched.

As for the health or XP being blank on other party members, I've noticed that as well, but it fixes itself after the party member takes damage or gets XP.

I see a lot of requests here for making Jamba into unit frames, but I'd hope you can avoid the temptation. Let people use RAID leader add-ons, there are plenty of man hours invested in those. Hopefully you can stay focused on the pieces there aren't other mods for, so there's time to add the features that really don't exist anywhere else.

One big example from another thread today is party inventory management:

Important:
- leader can see "party" bag
- allow leader to dump contents of own bag to party member bags
- allow leader to get contents of party member bag back to own bag
- from the leader, trade items from toon to toon
- from the leader, tell a toon to equip an item

Nice to have:
- class/usability coloring (click party toon icon, color items in bag red if out of class or level)
- hook into PAWN and show if any items in bags represent an upgrade for an equipment slot on a party member (outline upgrades in gold)
- in the upgrade mode, show the overall PAWN score for each toon, so you know which one should get the upgrade

This last item would really reduce time consuming equipment decisions when leveling a mixed team. After configuring PAWN with the stats weights, one will see easily if there are drops that are upgrades.

Thank you, Jafula, for an extraordinarily useful add on.

Jafula,

How is everything looking for 3.1 considering it is confirmed for tomorrow? Everything still work?

[davedontmind]

When I'm in a fight, I'm usually bashing my DPS button at the rate of about 4 or 5 times per second.

However, I'm noticing that on my main toon, for literally minutes after the fight has finished, i'm seeing messages like this in white, in the main chat box on my main

ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: I can't do that yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: item is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
ToonName: spell is not ready yet
...
and so on, where "ToonName" is the name of one of my slaves.

I unchecked the "forward errors" and "forward warnings" in Jamba-comms, and pushed to all toons, but I'm still seeing these messages (which must use a fair amount of bandwidth - perhaps it explains the times I've had about a 30-second delay when switching master?).

While writing this post, I just realised that I only ever see the name of one of my 4 slaves in the above messages, so maybe it's just a setting on that one toon - can you suggest what I need to check? Is it those Jamba-comms settings I mentioned above?

[dubiox]

Why are both of these options combined into one configuration checkbox: accept all quests from questgivers and accept all shared quests. Is it possible to separate out this functionality? I have a nice macro to accept the shared quests so I can turn this off, but it would be nice to have it accept shares automatically.

Also, it is very unintuitive to figure out which boxes to uncheck to stop the error/warning spam from all toons in the chat window. I unchecked probably 6 boxes through all the different options panes before getting it to stop. I really have no idea what all those things do. Multiboxer puts those errors in the team frame which is very nice.

Thanks,
-K
