Switchable macro sets with variables - Addon - Jamba-Macro

[thinus]

O M F G !!!!

Ok, I got around to installing Jamba-Dev and have been playing around with it a little and I just have to say you are doing an AMAZING job with it!!! It took a bit of tweaking to get my quest selection settings working the way it did before. I started using strobe follow for the first time and it is great for questing.

I just started playing around with the macros and having to click on "Use" caught me out initially.

So one question:
After pushing to the clones I find that I still need to click "Use" on each clone to get the macros generated. I can probably get mouse forwarding setup so I only click it on the main. But is this a restriction at the moment or am I missing something?

You only need to push to the clones once. After that you need to use the macros on each toon once. On reload they will remember the macro set they were using and automatically build the macros as part of the loading process.

From one toon you can issue the command

/jamba-macro use <macrosetname> <variablesetname> all

to get all the toons to rebuild their macros.

Hope that helps.

Thanks I found the "/jamba-macro use" command. Everything seems groovy

I converted my focus macros to be Jamba based and use variables. If I understand correctly for my two team setup I can configure it as follows:

Variable set: TEAM1
C1 = Borck
C2 = Zorck
C3 = Dorck
C4 = Porck
C5 = Corck

Variable set: TEAM2
C1 = Msblonde
C2 = Mswhite
C3 = MsBlack
C4 = Msred
C5 = Msbrown

Macro set: FOCUS
FOCUS1: /focus #C1#
FOCUS2: /focus #C2#
FOCUS3: /focus #C3#
FOCUS4: /focus #C4#
FOCUS5: /focus #C5#

And then I have to use the macros once with the appropriate team logged in:

TEAM1: /jamba-macro use FOCUS TEAM1 all
TEAM2: /jamba-macro use FOCUS TEAM2 all

I thought I'd post the entire thing just in case it helps someone else out.

So you can only have 1 macro set active at a time?

Yes, only one macro set per toon can be active at a time.

I have been wanting to try out the macro feature and I am sure you are anxious to get some feedback I would love to see some additional macro examples or use cases. I am just not creative enough to see how I can really take full advantage of this.

I do admit it seems to have a bit of a learning curve for me I am sure I am over complicating it.

I am away from home for the next few days. I will post some examples when I get back.

I would find it incredibly handy if you could assign a default macro/variable set to each toon in the Jamba-Team settings, which they automatically apply and use on startup.

I've currently got an "Initialization" macro setup on all my toons that I use to set them to the proper variables and macros, but it would let me remove a binding and clean things up a lot if they loaded the macros/vars automatically... Especially since it's the only macro I have to manage outside Jamba.

P.S., loving it so far!!

[Jafula]

The toons will remember the last variable and macro set that were using and apply those on startup again. (Make sure you are using the latest update of Jamba 0.5.)

Will this be enough for you? I could add another configuration page so you could assign a variable set and macro set to a toon, but I want to know if the auto loading of the previous used sets will fulfill your requirements. Let me know what you would like.

What's the limit on the Macro length? Macaroon has a limit of 1024 for it's macros ... does Jamba-Macro have the same limit? Additionally, it does not appear that /script commands can be run from Jamba -
/script SetView(4);SetView(4);
for example does not work.
