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

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well I can only get 16 or so on the team list at one time now, I used to be able to get them all in (36). It goes up to 16 then when new people on the team list get logged in it collapses back to the lead character and then adds the new log ins and the old ones are lost.

What has changed in the last updates to cause this? What did you use before the communication channel?

Is there some setting I should be looking at more carefully?

Is there more information I can give you?

I'm not sure Jafula needed to change anything, because Blizzard changed the throughput of the addon channel (I could be wrong).

Nothing has changed. If you have been using any of the 0.5+ series successfully then nothing has changed. Before 0.5 (the communications channel) I didn't use a communication channel.

Jamba uses two different communication methods. The communication channel you configure with a username and password is only used to see what team members are online / offline. Everytime a toon comes online Jamba joins it to the chat channel. When a toon goes offline a toon leaves the channel. This way other toons can query the channel list to see who is online.

Before this system I just assumed all the toons in your team list were online. Back then, some folks didn't update their team list everytime it changed and they would complain of "player not found" messages. The communication channel I added fixes this issue.

Given this is a regular chat channel, I cannot imagine that Blizzard has limited it to 16 players.

The addon channel is where Jamba sends follow status updates, quest commands, taxi commands, etc.

Righto, just because I haven't changed anything does not mean that Blizzard haven't changed the way things work.

Question Time:

Sam, have you changed the channel to be your own? Do all your toons have the same channel setup? What do you mean 16 only on the team list? Surely you can add all 36 onto the team list? What do you mean by collapse?

I think custom chat channels may actually have such a limit to the number of people in them.

Hi Jafula. Have a question about Jamba-Quest. When I press "L" the quest window comes up and the little Jamba window opens w/ the 4 choices. I can't get them to do their named jobs. I click on a quest and then press the choices and nothing happens. I would have to guess I am doing something wrong as the feature has been there forever. People make sure everything works but no one else has said a word. Am I missing an option in the setup?

Hey alcattle,

What are the 4 choices? IIRC, the Jamba-Quest (log) bar has more than 4 buttons. There are no options for this bar apart from the on/off. In some cases, I think the slave toons need to have the quest log open as well.

Have you disabled all other addons (on all toons) and then tried the Jamba Quest log functions again?

Cheers,
Jafula.

first of all /bow for Jamba.

I downloaded the 0.6 version yesterday while leveling my dk + 4 rets and it keeps bugging out for me. Slaves won't complete the quest when the leader does, but when i alt+ tab to a slave and complete it on him, the slaves somehow do follow it and accept it aswell. Has happened close to 10 times now.
Also jamba would randomly spam follow broken every 5 seconds or so from 1 slave. eventhough follow was far from broken, since i was just flying in the air in a straight line.

What's odd, is that the first seems to be fixed when i complete the quest with the old leader. (started 4 rets and leveled those) And the followspam comes from the oldleader aswell(to my DKscreen)

I checked the Teamlist if they did have the correct char as leader and they did.

Just figured i'd inform you, it might be usefull.

Thanks, I figure its due to the new quest watcher functionailty being a bit spammy in the background, will sort it for the next release.

Hi there, love the addon, wish Id had something like this back in the day when I 6 boxed EQ. Im not sure if this has been asked in the past or not, or if its even possible, but could there be a way to have jamba notify of a break or have a timer on the mains screen for Polymorph, Hex etc? Since the word about CC being big in Cata, Ive been practicing it, and have come to realize that in a simple extra pull or what ever I can easily keep tabs on it, but when I have a large amount of mobs with lightning bolts, missiles and shields flying everywhere, I do tend to lose track of time and end up with a very whooped up mage hehe.

If anyone knows of an already existing addon that does this, please let me know, would love to have it

Thanks in advance for any info provided

Jamba does not do this at the moment, but I would like it do so for the 1.0 release!

Ugh, I certainly hope not, that seems a bit weird, I imagine that two different guilds using a custom chat channel would have more than 16 members.

Ok, been a bit hectic here in my real life land. I hope to have some time this weekend to work on Jamba, but no promises...
