Jamba 0.5 available for testing (Update 12).

[Khatovar]

Edit - Quick test with update6, after clearing out all my old jamba and jambaDev files things seem to be working perfectly via the setup below. But now it's dinner time, so I'll have to try to break it later Assume that bug is squashed between the new update between your end or my end. Leaving the stuff below for reference.

I'm assuming you are using JambaDev 0.5.

Ok, I've done some testing and I'm _very_ sorry for you pain. I've just fixed a bug in follow where commands without tags were being ignored. Please get Update 6 when it comes out.

When you mention having a mount macro, it makes me wonder if you are sending the commands to follow from each toon to all the other toons. I assume you need the mount macro on all your toons; but the jamba-follow commands with tags are meant to only be called from one toon.

From what you are describing; these are the commands you want. Please note that these commands do not have tags and are meant to be entered directly into a macro on each toon.

I also assume you have a main master that does not change - I'm going to call it Bob

All toons - mount macro

/mount a mount code here
/jamba-follow strobeon Bob

All toons - spread out key

/jamba-follow strobeoff

Melee toons only - separate key

/jamba-follow strobeon Bob

This will not work correctly without Update 6. Could you try these as they are; and if you do switch masters, we can work on a set of macros and keybindings that use the tags.

These are the macros I had :

Master {Kina}- 

Mount macro
/cast [nomounted, flyable] Swift Red Wind Rider
/cast [nomounted] Summon Charger
/dismount
/script VehicleExit()
/jamba-follow strobeon Kina slave {also tried strobeonme slave, strobeon Kina all}

AF macro

/jamba-team invite
/click [nomounted] SmartBuff_KeyButton
/jamba-follow strobeoff slave {also tried strobeoff all}

Spread macro

/jamba-follow strobeoff slave {also strobeoff all. With this you have to spam a few times since movement starts and continues on keydown breaking AF, but the command doesn't get sent 'til keyup.}

Pull/strobe melee

/castsequence [mod:alt] Sacred Shield; reset=combat Avenger's Shield, Divine Plea, Null
/startattack
/jamba-follow strobeon Kina melee {also tried strobeonme}


Slaves -

Mount Macro 

/cast [nomounted, flyable] Swift Green Wind Rider
/cast [nomounted] Swift Orange Raptor
/dismount
/script VehicleExit()

AF Macro

/click [nomounted] SmartBuff_KeyButton
/cast [nomounted] Totemic Recall
/focus Kina
/follow focus

No macros to match Spread and Pull

So Jamba commands are only coming from the main. I'll purge update 5 and give 6 a try and let you know how it goes.

and BTW, new bar is PURE AWESOME. Can't wait to play with that.

The Item Bar does not hide when you de-select the "Show Item Bar" checkbox.

Edit: If you de-select it and then /reloadui it will disappear.

I'm not getting duplicate repair cost messages (and I'm using guild repair). Is this still happening? Are you using the defaults for core: message settings?

I can't reproduce anymore either not sure what 'fixed' it ... i'll keep a eye on it.

Today i saw another bug where i was accepting a quest that only the master toon had access to and when i hit Accept the slaves reported that they accepted some other quest they already had in the questlog. The slaves had no gossip window up (the NPC does nothing when interacting with the 'wrong' class).

The design of Jamba is have the settings exactly the same on all the toons. If you have to different settings for slave from the master, then I'd like to know what they are. What is the spam you are trying to get away from?

The forwarding of tells from slave to master is another module that I have not yet migrated from 0.4. It will be called Jamba-Talk. I've had several requests from the early days to integrate with WIM and I'm keen to integrate with SpamSentry and the like to help stop Jamba forwarding the level 1 spam.

fixing to try out the update 6 ... one of the fixes you listed was the spam i was talking about .... where my master char would spam the main chat saying that it was following it's self after combat ... so i had to disable it on the masters /jamba so i didn't get the spam for it ...

the other spam i finally figured out ... i didn't have the report part setup right and was missing a module or something so when i went back to default on everything and built the settings from ground up (minus the above listed one) it started working fine again ...

looking forward to the jamba-talk part ... don't receive a lot of tells on other chars but saves some headaches later on if i know about them at least .. esp when running across someone that swears that i am botting.

Jamba - Bar

The new bar doesn't work - at least not the way I expect it too.

So, I place the jousting lance - something I know all my toons have in the new bar. All toons show the "setting recieved from <main>" note. I click on the lance - only my main equips it.

Same result with water - only mains drinks.

Should they all attempt to "use" the item when the <main> clicks on it?

Also, the "show item bar" "hide item bar" etc... check boxers - they do nothing.

Pretty sure you need to actually bind the keys. A addon can't click for you I don't think. Haven't tried it yet so just guessing.

Bah! I'll sort that out for the next release.

So you are saying that the "show item bar" and "hide item bar" are a bit like Ugh's goggles ... useless. Why can't I release a mod whose show/hide check boxes work first time!

Unfortunately, there is no way for an addon to catch the click on the master item and then click on the slaves. Blizzard has protected the use item function, so you need to bind the same keys on all your toons and use key broadcasting to make sure all WoW instances get the key press.

Hmmm, this accept quest bug is one of those ones you are going to have to live with. I had code in Jamba to check to make sure that the slaves were interacting with an npc before they tried to accept a quest. If you read the first few pages of this thread, you will notice Ugh saying that his toons would not accept certain quests where there was no npc involved. When I took the check for npc code out, those quests were acceptable again.

Actually, thinking about it while writing this post, I might be able to check for the presence of the quest window on the screen and only accept if the window is visible. Hmmm.....

Thanks for taking the time to reply and tell me what the spam was. I appreciate the feedback and I like hearing about people using Jamba :-).

just another update ... so far no issues at all with 6 ... only thing that annoys me is a small thing but i think it is a game mechanic more then anything else ... some quests can not be shared .... like if it is just a talk to this person and they give you a quest to talk to next person ... it won't auto share it ...

but everything else is working great so far ... only used the new bar a couple of times .. but seems to work good.

Does the Item Bar use any ActionID's? If so, I see potential for conflict with other addons/setups. I have seen some setups where almost all of the 120 action ID's are in use.

Not much you can do about it, just a consideration.
