Jamba development - requests wanted

[Kris1234]

I think there is already an addon existingthat warns the group when someone picks up a quest-starting item, so this should be very doable.

Tom Quest 2 does this, altho i'd rather a raid warning or something a bit more noticeable as sometimes its missed.

I don't know if you have it fixed already but the warning on follow breaking would be nice. I have to disable it because it warns whenever I press follow that all my toons have broken follow. That was a great feature.

I have a few days free to work on Jamba. If you really want something fixed or added, now is the time to ask.

Current open issues are listed here:

(I intend to update the documentation this time.)

Let me know what you want fixed or added below.

The Jamba team window interferes with clicking stuff in your bags, so I have to drag the team window completely out of the way to click on stuff in my bags.

Any ideas on how this would look? I'm trying to understand what "cleaner/better/more useful" means. For myself, I use party unit frames and all Jamba team display does for me is follow status and experience.

For instance, do you want to be able to move individual toons hp/mana around (so toona info is position in a different place to toonb)?

I will explain more clearly as last time i had 5 minutes.

Back in the days i used to put all my characters in one raid group in battlegrounds. Now its almost undoable, and i'm looking for clickable frames where i can see my characters with their mana, hp, castbar and name at the left side of my screen.

Its equal to the team watcher unit frames that are currently in jamba, but then i would like to have them bigger. I would like to have mana and hp below eachother and i want to be able to scale them bigger and smaller. Maybe a character portrait would be handy aswell.

I wonder if this isn't too much work, or that i'm able to put the health and mana frames below eachother and add a castbar already at the team watcher. I haven't really took my time to check it out, but as far as i've seen this is hard/not implemented yet.

I'm using Xperl so in raids i can disable my party frames. My idea is to let me party frames dissapear in raid, and then show my 4 characters on the place where my party frames are. It would be nice to make those frames of my characters to have an option to enable.

Example optionlist:
- [X] Only show in raid/bg.
- [ ] Show in raid and when im in a group outside a raid/bg.
- [ ] Always show these frames of my team.

Kind regards,

Team Overdose
BTW: Love you add-on

Currently I use a multitude of addons, usually only 1 non key feature per addon, to get as close as how I'd like to see my info on my screen. Best way to show is through a quick & dirty picture.


1) Currently jamba can only be displayed top to bottom: each toon is represented by a bar that contains multiple values in a column. I don't find that the most user friendly way. So first idea would be to make it so that you can unattach a toon and it's bars from the jamba window (or move around in the jamba window). That way one could list his toons in a horizontal way, which is visually better tmho.
2) Each unit could have the same 'bars' it has now. Power (mana), xp bar and a bar to show if follow broke or not (awesome jamba feature).
3) Debuffs in a graphical way (like shadow unit frames does it nowadays).
4) Something I haven't found a solution for so far: casting bars for my slaves. So far I can only see the party bars when they are in the same group, which is hardly the case in a bg.

If it was me to decided, i'd go for casting bars as an absolute priority.

It would be awesome if jamba could replace the unit frames i have to use nowadays.

Yes adding a unit frame so we can stop using grid, pitbull, or xperl would be great. I agree that the current hp frame in jamba works for some but in pvp it is lacking some features. I certainly do not know how difficult it is to develop unit frames like the above mentioned but if we had something that was clickable and more customizable all inside of jamba it would be awesome.

Main features
-size of each item and the entire window must be customizable
-ability to add or remove unit picture
-color text or bars based on class or not
-banzai aggro alert (red ring around unit targeted)
-cast bars with text option
-the health and mana need to update much faster than the current jamba option does
-clickable so we can use it as a complete replacement for unit frames
-track specific buffs and/or debuffs

the current raid frames that blizzard implemented are pretty good so a copy of those would be a starting place. basically a cross between grid, blizzard, with some of the options of pitbull.

Thank you

Would still really like Chat forwarding to work correctly.

Jamba-Quest Watcher disables Achievement tracking in the Objectives window. I'm not asking to track across the group (as you already addressed this issue when I asked), but I would at least like to see Achievement tracking for the toon I'm currently using, if I chose to track something. Is this possible?

For example, when I track an exploration achievement for a zone, I should see a list of unexplored parts in the objectives window.

There is an option in 0.7d for "only when slaves are outside of following distance" which prevents that spam.

Sweet!
