A little something I have been working on...

[Jafula]

Jamba Quest Watcher which will come out in the next release of Jamba. A little preview for you. I'm holding this back a little and doing a few more quests, to hopefully catch all the bugs.

It works by using the track quests part of the UI. If you track a quest on a slave toon, the master gets to see the progress. The master does not have to have the quest. I have been tracking quest and collapsing the single toon Blizzard Quest Watcher.

There is some aggressive caching going on, so that the progress updates only get sent when they change so as not to overload the addon channel. It works pretty sweet. Can't wait to get it out to you for your feedback.

Incredible!

Not being able to keep track of my slave's quests easily was by far one of the most annoying bumps in the road for me. when I came to leveling my toons by questing I would cringe at the sight of broken quest chains. Many thanks! Can't wait to see it in action

^ This.

I agree completely that not having an accurate quest tracker for my slaves was the single most annoying aspect of leveling while boxing.

I can't wait for this.

Thanks in advance for yet another amazing boost to the multiboxing community, Jafula.

Wow, this looks very good. Very well done. No more forgotten class-specific quest because only one slave has it. No more frequent switching to each slave's screen to check their own advancement while gathering numerous quest items.

Can't wait to give it a try too

First, this sounds awesome. I hate asking questions, but oh well. Can you only show the overall progress for the whole team on a quest, or does it expand every quest until it is done? I don't know what would be best, but maybe (just maybe) of quests that only have <2 items to complete you can give us an option to only show the team progress. For quests that have >2 items you can let it show each person's progress.

Or just let us click to shrink down all the players info so it only shows team. Then if you click it again, it expands it. That would let us decide when to see the players and when to see the team.

I am just imagining a quest guy saying, "Go get my tools". Simple, small, no hunting around, just go to his shack and get them. I don't need help with this, just need to make sure everyone gets it (not miss-click and "Object is busy" that I didn't notice and miss one). But it fills my screen with 5 lines of 0/1's.

For bigger things, "Go get me 10 stupid drops items that have 20% drop rate." Holy hell yeah, I need to track each players progress.

So, maybe an OPTION to have quests with <2 objectives to auto not expand at the start. But have a click ability (shift-click, right-click, any type of click you want, just pick one) to expand or colapse a quest line to only show team progress.

Instead of getting that complicated, ElectronDF, would you be happy to just be able to remove a quest from tracking? That way the end user could decide what is important and what isn't, instead of having Jamba try to figure it out.

Jafula, this looks incredible. Very excitted to try it out!

This is AMAZING...

Goodbye TomQuest2... HELLO NEW JAMBA FEATURE!

I use TomQuest2 for this functionality alone... =) I am a happy muffin.

Question... could you add an optional alert to chat when a toon picks up an item for a quest?

or something? I use the addon QuestAnnounce for this feature and it comes in handy when I don't want to have to peruse through my quest tracker.

Very nice, cant wait to try it out.
