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

[Jafula]

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?

This could be done. Its not a high priority for me as its a bit of work as I would have to add special methods to send information that bypass the team online checks.

The communication channel is only used to see which toons in your team are online, it cannot be used to make your toons do anything.

Anyway, here is a ticket for your suggestion; at least you know its on the todo list now.

cool, thanks, when do you plan to get the first release available through curse (that'd be very handy as most of my other addons are there and I use curse client)

How do I move the two windows that show up? One is labeled "Items", I cannot find an option to unlock it or move it from the center of the screen. All I can do is just not display it. The other is the Jamba Team box. I can't move it either. Ugh, help! Otherwise it is a great program.

[Greythan]

Hold "alt" while left clicking to move. Just figured that out myself.

[cyankee]

Thanks. That did it.

Hi Jafula..
what a wonderful add on you've made !!
I'm amazed by your work !!

thanks for the good work...

I really do enjoy the Item buttons bar, I wish it could be used for vanity pets, mounts or even spells, which is not working atm !! If you think it's doable.. I'd be pleased by a feature like this !

again, many thanks

Jafula,
I absolutely LOVE this addon!! It's the best thing since sliced bread! REALLY!

I was wondering if there was any way to add in an option to turn off follow strobing when in a vehicle? I sometimes cart around low level toons with my lvl 80 on my Grand Ice Mammoth and the follow strobing will send a follow broken error message to the master every second, which is what my strobing interval is set to. The only way to stop the error is by turning of the message if follow strobing, which kind of defeats the purpose. If the slave gets stuck on something when not mounted and breaks follow I won't get an error message on the Master with that turned off. Hope you can work that in somewhere in a future release.

Thanks!

You might have to look up the actual commands, but there should be a slash command for stop following, so
/cast mammoth
/jamba-follow(something that turns it off)

Seems like it would mount and turn off follow strobe, then just do a slash command to turn it on when you dismount.
/dismount [mounted]
/jamba-follow(something to turn it on)

Maybe this is what you're looking for to turn strobing on/off:

/jamba-follow strobeonme all
/jamba-follow strobeoff all

Maybe this is what you're looking for to turn strobing on/off:

/jamba-follow strobeonme all
/jamba-follow strobeoff all

YES! Thank you!

I'd still like to see the option added under the follow tab though, if possible! =D
