Jamba 0.5 available for testing (Update 12).

[Jafula]

The follow status bars kinda show at random, as in when i send out the invite 1 or 2 might show up but the others won't all of my characters are running the same setup in Jamba-Dev. If the follow bar doesnt show up none of the other bars for that character show either.

Weird, not getting a bar at all?

Do your characters have names have extended ASCII characters in them (i.e. letters used in languages that are not English)?

Can you check on each toon that in the team list all your toons are online (they will not have (offline) next to their names)?

I don't use the XP bar as all my chars are 80, but the health bar usually is blank till I enter combat or force a change to my max HP (buff, change gear, etc).

Ok, this one is by design. I only update the bar when the HP change.

The the bar will display full HP upon leaving combat and will not update till I enter and leave again, after that it will stay at the HP I was at upon leaving combat. My ping is about 250ish on all toons, and I run 5 at a time always.

Hmmm, I wonder why your HP bar is not updating.

Nice to know I'm not the causing the problem with the remembering whee i put things for once :P Thanks for looking into it.

Heh, should be fixed now.

a) jamba-dev Toon: Warnings module, I have it set to 60 on all toons with the message set to "Start Healing Me Next."
b) I run 5 toons with approximately a 250ms ping, playing from Korea on US client. The buffering seems to be combat related and not lag related as the behavior is no different when my ping is over 1000 in places like WG with a million people around. It has the same behavior in BGs and instances (5-10-25man).
c) For testing with JambaDev I only run it, no other addons at all, on a separate install of WoW. There is no symlink it's a complete and separate install. The buffering happens with both installs however. I have tested this running 5 clients on 1 machine running vista64 and 32, mind you the 32 bit client had memory issues so I excused the buffering behavior for that case. I also run 1 client on vista 64 and 4 on another 64 machine, I have the same issue in all cases.

Thanks, this is good to know.

The good news is the procs seem to work though i miss a few of them in the heat of combat, and things like the shaman proc for elemental oath buffing the entire group gets a little spammy / laggy with each one reporting they got it. It's a nice addon and I can see a lot more that works than doesn't work, so no complaints from me.

As always if you need more information, or there is a way I can send you a debug type file let me know and I'll get the information to you. Thanks for the time you have devoted to the multiboxing community.

Yay! We need to work out why the HPs are not getting updated for your team and why the bars are not showing. Let me think about that some more. Let me know about your character names.

Can you try running you slaves at 21fps background? That will double the message rate.

Just tried this with update 8 and there wasn't anymore noticeable lag at all. Seems my CPU can't handle 9x21fps and 60fps in crowded AV areas though. I put my background fps back down and there still wasn't any lag. All 10 sending messages to all the 9 others must've just been too much. Thanks for the change.

Seriously? Sorted? No lag? You're pulling me leg? Tell me again in a couple of days if its still sweet.

Thanks for telling me your problem, so I could have a go at fixing it!

When I accept a quest on my slaves my main gets 10x the accept message from each and it ends up being instant lag. I wonder if the follow was sent x10 from each too..

I had to turn off quest accept notification because each time I accepted I get 100 or so lines of xxxx accepted quest yyyy.

Doh! 100 lines of text, that is impressive. Hmmm, not sure why that is, will check it out.

Couple of things.

When I accept a quest it automatically shares it which is great. I use interact with target to open quest givers on slaves and with the auto accept they then all try to share the quest with the group. This generates a lot of spam. Which I have been ignoring.

When an NPC has quests and you have automatic turnins activated but one of the requests requires dialog it is currently not possible to go through the dialogue option. I wasnt able to disable the auto complete quests without leaving the game. Alchemist in Zul Drak was the quest giver,.

If that doesnt make sense I will try to grab screenies next time.

Ah, yes, thanks for reminding me. I have been meaning to make sure that the auto share quest only works on the actual master character rather than everyone.

Ah, is this because the automatic turn-in is trying to do stuff and you never get a chance to click on the dialog? I assume that the turn in does not go to the dialog option. Hmmm, not sure what to do here, maybe you have to turn off the auto turn-in in these cases. Do you have any suggestions?

I assume you mean the auto complete turn-in you are having trouble with. I'll see why you cannot disable it.

Thanks for posting. I don't get time to test everything and its great that folks like you take the time to tell me the problems so they can get fixed.

Yes it passes onto the next page before I can click the dialogue.

My apologies for taking forever to reply but no none of my character names have any extendended ascii in them. They all use characters available in the english language set.

Thanks again I'm checking out 8 now

I might be reporting the exact issue Zamok is... Ive run into this twice now, it seems to be when you have more than 1 quest to turn into the same NPC. My example is:

http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11943
and
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11919

I have both completed and auto complete turned on... It opens the dialog and I can see it going to complete Drake Hunt. Then it switches over like its going to complete teh Cell. However, it completes neither, and I cannot manually complete it from this point. If i try to hit OK it does nothing. What I ended up doing last time (i forget what quests those were, but it happened once before) is... clicking the NPC and then very quickly clicking one of the quests and completing it before Jamba could try to auto complete.. had to do it manually on each of the chars.

Other than on these doubles, the auto complete thing is quick and fabulous.

Hope thats helpful.

P.S. Just did them all manually. One of the quests had a quest reward and one didnt. Im not sure if that is contributing to the hang up or not.
