Jamba development - requests wanted

[Ghallo]

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.

Zenga - this is what I use Shadowed Unit Frames for. I'd love to have this functionality in Jamba, but you can actually configure SUF to use the Unit Name instead of the UnitID to place them on your screen. It is a PITA to configure but you could essentially get what you want.

If this was in Jamba it would become the one addon to rule them all.

maybe you could add a Power bar EG, holy power Dk-power and shammy timers could them bars be added as well?

Are you saying that if i'm in a raid with 5 toons, and AB are in group 2, CDE in group 3, that I can preconfigure SUF such that my 'party frames' will display my 5 toons instead of the group they are in? If so that would be nuts, think many been looking with me for that option. Care to explain?

I didn't think this was a big deal, but Shadowed had written something up about it (or I thought he had) way back in May. I went to go look up how to do it, but unfortunately I could not find the thread.

Sorry to get your hopes up

From what I remember though, the LUA needed to be modified to filter on the names of the people in your team. I did PVP for a couple of weeks, decided I didn't really care for PVP and went back... and now I can't find the file I had setup (must have been lost in all the cata upgrading stuff).

If you post in the http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nitFrames.html comments section he may remember how.

btw, SUF is probably the best UF out there... I have tried them all (or nearly all :P) and never been able to get the config I wanted until I used it.

Is there anyway you could have jamba give a message when a polymorph, hex etc lands or is resisted? and a timer on when it will expire?

There are already other addons that do this.

I'd settle for having all my existing tickets resolved

Please, elaborate I tried using CCwatcher, but I could never get it to work right while boxing.

If they don't already exist in the addon and I am just ignorant of how to enable them, I would like to request the following :

1) The option to make the Jamba Team window click through (non-interactive) similar to the way Omen works.

2) The option to show a reputation progress bar in Jamba Team and possibly the selection of faction watched.

Anyway that you could make it where you can set the focus from the main to individual slaves?
