Switchable macro sets with variables - Addon - Jamba-Macro

[Jafula]

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.

Would it be possible to have more than one macro set active? I was thinking along the lines of having a generic macro set that I use on both my teams, for instance focus macros where I only change the variable sets. Then for each team they have their own specific macro set.

What I am currently doing is just copying my current macro set to a new one for the second team but if I add a new macro I will have to add it to both macro sets.

PS: Where in NZ are you? Have to buy you a beer or 10.

PPS: The item bar is so amazing I built a shrine to it.

Hmmm, this is tempting to do. I can see it getting harder to manage as you get more teams. I could make a new page that lists macro sets (and associated variable sets) where you could activate or deactivate them as you see fit.

Keep doing what you are doing and if I can find the time, I'll see if I can do it. No promises.

Glad you like the item bar!

I think I found a bug as well, copying a macro set messes up keybinds or something in the new macro set. I can try and narrow down exactly where it went wrong but for right now I can give you the steps I followed.

1. I created a variable set - Characters
2. I created a macro set - Focus
3. I created focus macros and assigned keybindings
4. I used the Focus macro set with the Characters variable set
5. I copied the Focus macro set to a Shaman macro set
6. I deleted the Focus macro set
7. I used the Shaman macro set with the Characters variable set

The output when the macros are used seems ok but when I hit the keys the macros don't trigger at all. The reason I think it is keybind related is that I have a macro bound to F12 but when I hit F12 it just opens a bag which is the default keybind.

I managed to fix the problem by re-creating the macros. I had to change the name though, even deleting the macro and creating it with the same name didn't work.

I'm late in posting this cause I just got back into multiboxing, but this is awesome that you finally implemented this into Jamba. I remember when this was only a dream a year ago when you first came out with Jamba. Awesome job man. Thanks for all your hard work in the mboxing community.

Cheers, it will be a bug. I have made a ticket out of your post. Thanks sooo much for mentioning it.
