Jamba 0.5 available for testing (Update 12).

why is both parrot and mikbattlescrollingtext used at the same time? are they not the same type of addons? Mik has a better wow factor for some things. What should be enabled and disabled for each of them?

They are not. If you have Parrot, you can send Jamba messages to Parrot. If you have MSBT, you can send Jamba messages to MSBT.

You can set up which one you use in the Core: Messages configuration pane.

One more bug in JambaQuest with the 0.5u1 build. Alts will not complete quests with the master from Elder Atkanok. I can accept them from him, just can't complete any.

I've fixed this (I hope).

I've hit a bug where adding multiple teams full of names and then switching teams repeatedly causes the channel/password entries to become fixed on the defaults and cannot be changed.

How do you "switch" teams?

Restarting the game, closing and reopening the Jamba config dialogs or doing a /console reloadui always causes it to reset back to the default channel/password.

That's not good; I'll have a look.

This basically results in everyone showing up as offline except for the people on the same original teams.

So this means that the ones online are showing up as offline and the offline ones showing up as online?

I've tried hacking in the actual string for the channel and password into the comms.lua but then it just prompts for the same password repeatedly.

Not sure why WoW does that! Will investigate further.

No idea what I did to get it into this state, though I suspect it's because I'm trying to use some of my shammy team with some of my pally team together in a mixed group.

You should be able to add them all to the list and Jamba should ignore the ones that are offline.

Either way, everyone in the shammy team shows as offline to the guys in the pally team and vice versa, in spite of having them added to the list.

I'm assuming that the shammy team is online at the time; i.e. you have 10 toons online.

That's probably a crappy explanation, so let me know if you'd like me to dig further and come up with some way to replicate it

I might take you up on that....

EDIT: Any feedback on the team list? Does the concept of all in on the team list work for you? I'm dual-boxing at the moment and won't be getting more accounts any time soon, so you are about the only one that's got any say in its future....

Holy crap how did I miss this? Going to grab it tonight if I can.

If the proc thing works similar to Mik's or whatever that would be awesome, im fine with the vanilla GUI's combat text, I just use mik's so I can show my party's procs. Question: Is it possible to determine where they came from?

For example, theoretically I have 3 balance druids in my group with the eclipse talent. If one of them procs it I need to know to cast a specific spell on that one toon, it would be nice if the popup could say [Charname] Eclipse! or whatever...

Just throwing it out there,

Thanks for all the hard work,.

Yes, it does that already. The message is "Character Name: your text" when your spell procs - and you can set up the message to go to an area you made in MSBT. You can also tag the "message area" so that only toons with the tag get the message. Use "master" for the tag if you just want the master character to display the message.

You might have to mess around with the Core: Message options. Go in to the Default Proc Area settings and make sure that the tag is set correctly.

Please realise that this is something I hacked together and your feedback will be just awesome.

How do you "switch" teams

I just logout the guys I don't want playing and log in the guys I do want playing. I've added everyone on all teams to everyone's list, then I just do a /jamba setmaster <name> to make sure they all have the right leader.

This basically results in everyone showing up as offline except for the people on the same original teams.

So this means that the ones online are showing up as offline and the offline ones showing up as online?

Here's what I see. Let's say I have Don1, Don2, Don3, Don4, Don5 as paladins and Don6-Don10 as shamans. I'll logout Don6-Don9 and login Don1-Don4 (using 4 pallies from that team with my lead shaman). What happens is that none of the paladins show as online to the shaman but they all show online to the other Paladins. If I login 2 shams and 3 pallies, the two shams see each other as online, the 2 pallies see each other but the shams won't see the pallies and vice versa.

You should be able to add them all to the list and Jamba should ignore the ones that are offline.

I agree, though I've yet to be able to get this working successfully. Only the original 5 in each team show each other online.

Either way, everyone in the shammy team shows as offline to the guys in the pally team and vice versa, in spite of having them added to the list.

I'm assuming that the shammy team is online at the time; i.e. you have 10 toons online.

No, I just login 2 from one team and 3 from another. See above.

EDIT: Any feedback on the team list? Does the concept of all in on the team list work for you? I'm dual-boxing at the moment and won't be getting more accounts any time soon, so you are about the only one that's got any say in its future....

Yes, I like the concept and it works great, except for the part where only the original teams will "see" each other in the team list. I'll try again tonight and see if I can figure out anything else.

[Jafula]

Ugh;

I know you have done this, but I'm asking anyway... Have you checked that all 10 toons are using the same channel? If the two teams are on different channels, they will not be able to see each other.

(If the WoW channels are all messed up you might need to clear out your chat channel information in WTF / Cache, or where-ever it is stored on disk.)

Yeah, that was what I checked the other night thinking I'd simply flubbed that config. That's when I discovered I could not change from the defaults (kept resetting it on me). I'll poke more when I get back from running a few errands and see if I can figure out how I changed the setting originally. I think that I had the pally and druid teams (which work fine) set to an alternate channel/password using 0.5dev original build and didn't use the shammies until 0.5update1 build. That may tell you something. I have both builds on my machine here and will verify if anything changed with regards to channel/password stuff later.

Sweet, thanks. I don't think anything changed re channels between 0 and 1. This weekend, I'll go over the online channel code and sanity check it and add in some controls so you specify when to change channels on each toon (the button discussed earlier). I think if I can fix the problem where you cannot change from the default then the rest of the stuff should hopefully sort itself out...

I will definitely try to provide some feedback. Question: You mentioned that the messages can be displayed in the area I made with MSBT. Should I read this as MSBT is required? If I can get rid of it and use just yours I will.

Just trying to clarify, I will try to provide some feedback tonight / in the morning,

Thanks again.
