Jamba:Macro - What cool new things are you doing now?

[Jafula]

Cool work. I'm going to do a major macro rewrite *ugh* tonight when I get home from work. I'll be using Jamba macro and this should be a good kickoff point.

BTW, we should begin wikifying this so it isn't lost in the ether in a month when this post goes cold. Maybe under the main Jamba article calling it 'Jamba-Macro' or Using Jamba-Macro

Jafula? it's your baby, got a preference?

I'm easy, if you want to write something up, the wiki is probably a good place for it.

No, because Jamba doesn't know which macro set you want to use...

I understand it's more "powerful" that way - yet hopefully you understand it's not user intuitive - there is a probably a way to get both goals :-)

Small nitpick while I'm complaining (I'm not really... just suggestions for improvements) : when I type /jamba foo or /jamba help or /jamba-team help give me the commands supported (ie inline help) instead of "error"

Also; and not sure if it's possible with blizz/addon UI, but when I type just /jamba - could the UI open with the "+" open so I see something (the sub modules) instead of having to click + all the time

Ah, and it's probably not in this thread either but : the communication channel thing seems broken - toons go offline/online randomly - I think the work around is to use your own channel and password but setting that is inconvenient - I'm wondering also if the channel / pass is a security hazard (can someone make your alt do something or at minimum snoop on you if they are in the channel ?) - could you replace that with pairing UI like bluetooth for instance - or just an initial setup command - when you want to add toons together in team for the first time:

/jamba-setup master <optionalpassword>
typed once in the master would generate an 8 digits random number and show it on screen if you haven't specified one and enter pairing mode

/jamba-setup slave <mastername> <password>

would talk to the master and send it (privmsg) the password and pair

that way a new team addition is just typing 2 command (the second one is broadcasted to everybody so it's really done quick - would help with not having to type all the slaves anyway)

Might be confusing in that the syntax for /jamba-macro isn't on the page that is most referenced / pointed to for the syntax.

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jam...lash-commands/

desc = L["Update the macros to use the specified macro and variable sets."],
usage = "/jamba-macro use <macrosetname> <variablesetname>",

desc = L["Push the macro settings to all characters in the team."],
usage = "/jamba-macro push",

I think additionall <tag> is allowed.

Jamba-0.5c changed macro sets in that you can now have more than one macro set active at a time. You can still turn macro sets off.

Cheers, I have updated that page. The macro command has now changed to just:

/jamba-macro use

This is great!

Back onto the point of this thread (while I'm glad people are getting help, this thread is supposed to be a place for great macro set ideas, etc).

With the new option for having multiple macro sets, my management options just got MUCH easier! Especially since you can have the whole set dedicated to a tag. Very nice.

Anyone have some good "PiP-Swapping" macro sets? I'm still working on mine, but I'll post what I have soon.

Edit:

Created a macro called "JMB_DoNothing" - it does exactly what I want it to (nothing).
Any action/key bound to "JMB_DoNothing" gets "grounded" out. That way healing spells for my priest aren't cast by my paladin simply by setting the tag !Priest for any binding my priest will use. Quick example:
Priest Macro: HealFocus
/cast [@focus,help][] Greater Heal
Macro Tag: Priest
Macro Key: F5
Team Macro: HealFocus
/click JMB_DoNothing
Macro Tag: !Priest
Macro Key: F5

Ok, on to my PiP macros. I have 10 macros, 5 for "becoming" PiP and 5 for "leaving" PiP
On PiP1:
Becoming PiP:
Macro Tag: PiP1
Macro Key: Num1

 
/clearfocus
/Console Sound_EnableAllSound 1
/jamba-team iammaster all
/script SetBindingClick("F3","JMB_SetRaidSkull","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F9","JMB_SetRaidStar","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F10","JMB_SetRaidCross","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F11","JMB_SetRaidMoon","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F12","JMB_SetRaidDiamond","LeftClick");
/script SaveBindings(2);

Leaving PiP (the rest of the team calls this)
Macro Tag: !PiP1
Macro Key: Num1

 
/target #PiP1# 
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/Console Sound_EnableAllSound 0
/follow focus
/script SetBindingClick("F3","JMB_DoNothing","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F9","JMB_DoNothing","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F10","JMB_DoNothing","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F11","JMB_DoNothing","LeftClick");
/script SetBindingClick("F12","JMB_DoNothing","LeftClick");
/script SaveBindings(2);

With this setup, when I hit Num1-5 I switch my main. This changes my master, sets my new main to the party leader, and gives my main the ability to raid target with the "F" keys (I use this often to mark targets for CC) when I hit F9 my first mage will target whatever my focus target is at that moment, then if I cast Sheep that mage will sheep her target.
