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

In Jamba-talk module what does the option "Fake Whispers For Clickable Player Names" do?

[Jafula]

I'm having problems with my toons accepting quests from NPCs and completing quests.
This was working for me until just recently. I must have messed some setting up. At present, I'm having inconsistant results. Some toons auto complete, auto accept and do nothing at all.

I have all the toons speak to the NPC before I accept, etc.

Here is what I want:
1. Toons to accept quest from NPCs when one of them accepts the quest. I don't want them to auto accept quest.
2. Toons to complete quest when one complets it. If I'm pressing shift when I complete a quest, I want all the toons to take the same quest reward.

I've tried a lot of differnet settting and nothing is working consistently.
I may have another addon with a conflict, not sure.

Here are the options I've selected for Quest and Quest completion. If anyone sees something wrong, I would appreciate a reply.

Quest:
Toon Select & Decline Quest with Team
Accept Quests
Toon Accept Quest from Team
Only Auto Accept Quests From:
Team
Master Auto Shares Quest When accepted
Toon Auto Accept Escort Quest from Team

Quest Completion:
Enable Auto Quest Completion
Quest Has No Rewards Or One Reward:
Toon Complete quest with team
Quest has more than one reward
Toon Complete quest with team
If modifier Key pressed, toon chooses Same reward
as team otherwise toon must choose own reward
I selected Shift
Override if toon already has reward selected, choose that reward.

Turn off: "Master Auto Share Quests When Accepted" - as you are selecting and declining with team; there is no point sharing a quest everyone will already have.

You are missing "Toon Must Choose Own Reward" in your description.

Apart from that, everything seems fine.

Check that your toons do not have different settings from each other. Get the settings the way you want on one toon and push your settings to all your team members and make sure that they get them (in the default chat window, they should say Jamba-Quest: Settings received from xxx).

In Jamba-talk module what does the option "Fake Whispers For Clickable Player Names" do?

Some people want to be able to click a player name to whisper directly to them rather than using the chat relay functionality.

Whispers cannot be sent with clickable player names in them.

Rather than send a whisper, Jamba sends its own internal whisper command which is then displayed in the default chat window as text (not a whisper, but same colour as a whisper) with clickable player names.

I love this addon.

That could you add a way to configure what options are available with the Jamba Quest log..? I hit abandon all and didn't think things through and just thought it meant abandon on all characters not ALL quests. I hate this button more then any other button ever, why would anyone even want this button. After cussing at my computer for a few minutes as I had just completed 8 dailies on my team and hadn't turned them in yet, I edited the jamba quest file so the Abandon All button just calls the normal abandon button function so I never ever do that again.

Sorry! You have done the correct thing by disabling it for yourself. I have used the abandon all function a few times, it has been useful.

What I will do is change the wording on the are you sure dialog to say that it will work across all toons and all quests.

Ah yes the abandon all function got me the first time. Luckily it was on my lowbie team. When I first saw it I thought nah there is no way it means abandon all quest surely it means abandon this quest on all toons.

putting back some suggestion I made in the macro thread:

the communication channel thing seems broken (I haven't upgraded to 0.5c yet maybe it's better/fixed) - toons go offline/online randomly - I think the work around I found is to use your own channel and password but setting that is inconvenient - I'm wondering also if the channel / pass is a security hazard (can someone make your alt do something or at minimum snoop on you if they are in the channel ?) - could you replace that with pairing UI like bluetooth for instance - or just an initial setup command - when you want to add toons together in team for the first time:

/jamba-setup master <optionalpassword>
typed once in the master would generate an 8 digits random number and show it on screen if you haven't specified one and enter pairing mode

/jamba-setup slave <mastername> <password>

would talk to the master and send it (privmsg) the password and pair

that way a new team addition is just typing 2 command (the second one is broadcasted to everybody so it's really done quick - would help with not having to type all the slaves anyway)

what do you think?

I think this might be used more so out of party/raid where he has private channels that people cannot hijack. i am thinking of ungrouped boosting.

jamba can still use a channel instead of pair wise communication after that setup but the command and method I suggested is about to pick said channel and boostrap the team list effetively - the party addition is nice too but typically on a new team I setup jamba first and then jamba-team invite - so I'd like to do all that with 2 commands as above or similar

I had a team
Toon1 slave
Toon2 master
-- No other toons in the ilist

When I click the SHOW button on the macro /assist #Master# - it showed this as
/assist toon3

Ie it was translating master to a toon name I didnt have
I believe this was due to me removeing the toon3 who was marked as master - it appears as if that toon is rememberd as the master even when I set different toons to master

When I added toon3 back in it was slave/offline -but the problem went away

You need to rebuild the macros after you have changed masters. Jamba-Macro does not automatically rebuild macros.
