Jamba 0.5 available for testing (Update 12).

[Bettysue]

Sry, for the delay, but i was on a conference and hadn't time to check the d-b.com.
First of all, thanks for the nice comment, and that you like this little addition

Of course I could change it, so that it uses a target instead of assist, and will do so for the next update.
Only little question about this:

Could you give an example of the hole ftl-macro with the target option, as I'm not quite sure what realy is the difference to the assist method..

Thanks in advance,
olipcs

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/click MultiBarRightButton1
/cast [harm][target=targettarget,harm][] Lightning Bolt
/targetlasttarget [mod:rctrl/alt/shift]

The above macro is exactly the same on all chars, the leader will cast on the harm target, the followers will have a "help" target and therefore cast on their targettarget, then because of the FTL modifiers they will target their last target. This gives me the ability to have them pre-target something and cast on that should the leader need to do something else while they are nuking something (ie, build aggro on the tank target while they nuke the initial add. I use the empty bracket so that should something go wrong on the leader it will try to cast regardless, this is more important for dual-use heal/dps macros, but i always include it for simplicity.

Multibar right button 1 is the FTL pick a target button. I have had problems with assist in the past and targettarget just seems to work 100% of the time for me so I am reluctant to switch from it.

Thanks for your work, and help here and on the HKN forums olipcs

and thanks for the amazing addon jafula



Sorry for the long delay been having a bit of a network issue this morning, damn Korean internet :P

I am wanting to try this out myself but not sure if I could go through the pain of not having jamba follow strobe as I lose follow more often than I should >_>

Jamba-Follow is next on the list. I should be able to get onto it this weekend.

Just as an update, I haven't been doing a lot of poke-n-prod testing on update 2 but I haven't run into any issues just leaving things at defaults for comms::channel/password. I really only use the /jamba-team invite, disband and master commands, though. I handle the rest through macros.

Thanks Bettysue, for the explanation!

So what you need is an ftl-button wich simply targets the toon with the active-window (the leader), like:

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA] [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB] [mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC] [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD] [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE]

this should be no real Problem, and also could be quite usefull for healing/following!
I think I will implement this, by simply creating another hidden button (like the JambaFTLAssist) with just the target version. And maybe call it JambaFTLTarget.

Jamba-FTL-Helper (Update 1)

Hi, I updated the Jamba-FTL-Helper to version 0.2 !

New features are:

• the creation of an FTL-TargetButton called JambaFTLTarget in addition to the JambaFTLAssist-Button.
  
  The target button is used to target the toon in the active window (the leader) in an FTL-style. Which could be used for following or healing.
  
  This is done by a macro like:
  /target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA] [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB] [mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC] [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD] [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE]

Thanks alot Bettysue for the request!

You can find the new Version in the attached Zip.

(If you used the first version of Jamba-FTL you need to update the FTL buttons once, through the GUI or /jamba-ftl update to create the target-button)

Edit: fixed a bug,when the settings are recieved (thanks for the hint, Jafula!) and attached a fixed version

Thank you very much for the quick reply and addition, without people like you in the community I would spend so much more time coding instead of just playing.

You guys and everyone that has made something to help the community for that matter, are truly the best kind of people. If they had medals for that kind of thing I'd put all of you in to get one

[olipcs]

Thanks for the kind words! Although I have to say, that most of the credit has to go to Jafula, as I mostly only copy&pasted his code and only added tiny little bits.

Funnily for me its more of the other way arround, I think I put more times in this multi-boxing related site projects (jamba additions, HKN-scripts, FTL/HKN guides) than in actualy playing (which you can clearly see, when you look and my chars and see, that they only cleard strat and gundrak hero till now...). But honestly sometimes I think I love this aspect about multiboxing more than actual playing

Hello folks

how can i avoid the "No player named xxx is playing" when i log on a jamba toon but want to play it alone without the team ?

It spams my chat every 2 secs, guess its the strobing.

Is there a way to remove that ?

[alcattle]

easy way, go to Jamba on the interface section when playing that one toon and click on play solo,
