Jamba-Quest (0.5) option screen - opinions requested.

[Jafula]

First off, thank you for this great addon Jafula.

Second I do have a request, not regarding the quests or anything, it's perfect(especialy if you add the slaves pick random(best) choice if none selected!). But regarding the group window, I was wondering if it was possible to add an option to A. Rearrange team order so the list is identical in the jamba box on all toons, and B. add mana to the show Health option.

Right now though, I'm having this strange thing where the health of one toon does not show up on the main characters screen and on another toons box doesnt show the health of two characters, maybe I have to reinstall Jamba to fix this?

A is almost done in 0.5 (see up/down buttons in screenshot below) - just have to build the addon that displays the information.

B might not happen, but certainly has been requested a lot, so If I get some time, I'll give it a shot.

Health display problem: don't reinstall, just delete all the Jamba.lua files in your WTF/SavedVariables directories (all toons) and then reconfigure Jamba.

When do you plan to release this build? I actually find the current quest ui confusing, no matter what options I pick ( i dont want it to auto accpet) he just wizzes through the quest screen.

I'm finding more time to work on it, but no definite release date. (Yes, I agree the current UI is really confusing.)

I wouldn't mind a third option in jamba quest, there's

if slave has reward selected, complete with master

choose same reward as master

What about a third option that is a combinaion. if slave has a reward selected, use that one and complete with master, but if slave doesn't have a reward selected, select the master's choice.

I often run into a quest where nobody needs the reward, so i just want the one with the highest vendor value. Other times, (dungeon or elite quests) it is an upgrade, and i want to choose individually, and I have to complete each quest separately to ensure i get the right reward on each toon.

Done it already (and tested)!

See the option at the bottom: Override: If Slave ...



Also, note that with the options shown above, each slave has to choose its own reward; but if you hold the ctrl and shift keys while pressing complete quest on the master, the slave will get the same reward as the master.

Sweet! cant wait for the new version

While im thinking about it, Most of my teams are 3x dps 1 healer and 1 tank. any way to make a "second in command" so i could select one item on a dps toon and the other 2 follow suit? its probably way too complicated, but I figured why not throw it out there

Done as well. Any toon can be the master for quests and the rest are the slaves (no need to set an option for this, it just works). Just open the dialogs on all 3 dps first; do the quest completion/reward selection on one of the dps and the other 2 will follow; then open the dialogs on the tank/healer and do them.

Read the first paragraph titled "Quest Information" in the screenshot below. Does it make sense?

Sweet! Is this new for .5 or has it always been there and I just missed it?

Can you add some way to prioritize messages to the leader. With my 36 jamba group I am having a lot of problems with delay in jamba updating information. Most important to me is the green/red autofollow square which I would like to have top priority, the way it is now my main is being bombarded with info and it takes 30-60 seconds (or longer for the health bars) of doing nothing for everything to catch up. I guess wow gives add ons last priority cause sure the battle spam must be sending 100 times or more the info that jamba sends.

I would guess this isnt a problem for others with 5 or 10 man jamba teams. I do have 20fps on the background (slave) computers but its just that to much information is being sent, or its being limited by something.

Yes, this is something I intend to look at. Folks will be able to make their own little addons that can control what sort of stuff gets sent using the API I have built for Jamba.
