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

[riffraff]

I'm new to boxing and Jamba. I had just started to use the previous version over the weekend, the 3.3 hits and new Jamba released. So I install it. Some quick things I don't quite understand. I can no longer move the jamba-team window around by dragging it. It's stuck in the center of the screen. There's an item interface with 5 slots in it which not only do I not know what it does, but can't seem to move it either. I've turned off the displays for both of these interfaces for now. Am I missing something on how to use these now?

Thanks for writing Jamba! I hope to get better using it soon.

Hold down ALT and left click to move windows.

On one of your toons, you can drag items (not actions/spells) from your bags to the bars and every one in your team will try and put the same item in their bar as well. You need to go into keybindings and assign a key to each item on the bar on all your toons. Make sure these keys are broadcast to all your toons. Pressing the appropriate key will make every one use the item you placed in the bar.

Thanks Jafula

Yeh, I want to get it on curse, but I gotta learn the package manager and stuff and things. Need code monkeys.

What kind of help do you need ? setting a repository there is pretty straightforward - then you got to webui and tag the repository, if the message starts with for instance

"1.1.8
blah blah blah"

it will make the 1.1.8 release available on curse (I use that for my WhoTracker for instance) and svn commit directly to them - if you want to keep locally your source control system (which may be wise) you can still probably push files to auto build and auto release

Hehe, thanks, I'm halfway there, just got to look at the docs and do it.

Is there a chance we could put macros in the item bar? And can we click on items in item bar in addition to keybinds? I would put the lance for the tournament in a slot, but I don't need to use it quickly or very often. It wastes a keybind just to use something that I don't need to use fast. Same with a macro (/script LeaveParty()) when WG is over. I don't need to do it quickly. I don't need to do it in middle of battle. I just would like to use items/macros on alts through clicking on an item on my main.

Not something I want to do. I just want it to be an item bar.

Addons cannot cast spells / use items for you. Hence the keyboard (hardware input) to use the items. To do this you need to use software like HKN, ISBoxer to broadcast mouse clicks.

I would put the lance for the tournament in a slot, but I don't need to use it quickly or very often. It wastes a keybind just to use something that I don't need to use fast.

Hence, you can drag the lance onto the item bar when you want to use it and drag it out when you are finished. With the item bar, you only need to do this on one character and the rest will follow.

I think this is the more relevant message. It initially comes up with 6 messages and if you try to go back to message no 1 then you get more errors in the Blizzard Debug addon.

Ash is the master.
Æsh is this character.

thinus,

FWIW: I have completed quests across characters (with 3.3) without errors.

It seems that the quest name is not being sent with the quest selection command for some reason.

Can you tell me what other quest mods you are running?
