[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Version 5.4.0 release thread.

[Jafula]

So a bug I ran into, somewhat self induced, caused me a bit of pain today. Somehow, not really thinking about it I had dropped a spell from my spellbook onto the itemuse bar. Now I have a team of 5 monks (1 bm, 1 mw, 3 ww) and the spell I dropped I don't think they all had, or maybe they all had slightly different versions (monks have a lot of that). I don't actually recall which it was, but the end result was my BM became basically unusable with a massive rate of LUA errors (the count was spinning up into the thousands on the same final error). Something about a bad spell id. In either case. A bit of playing around and I find it's not that hard to recreate the problem. It seems the itemuse bar doesn't do very sanity checking when spells/items are dropped or pushed out to the team and a bad item can cause a serious error loop.

I found that I had issues with item use and had to disable it.. toons were breaking follow it sent my system crazy.. anyway I turned off every addon one by one.. to find it was that one aspect of Jamba.

Sorry you guys are having issues. The item bar is a complex beast. I agree the spells aspect of it is lacking in validation. I though items were mostly okay from my testing. If you ever get the problem happening again, you can use the command

/jamba-item-use clear

to clear the item bar of all items for the current character. I suggest broadcasting the command to all your characters at the same time.

I find it a little weird that the item bar was causing your toons to break follow. Maybe if they were getting plenty of lua errors it might cause them to freeze up and the lag makes them stop following. The clear command above should stop the errors in that case as well.

Shame, sorry I'm not going to chance to look at the problem until a month away. Flat out with silly real life :-( Will see if I can spend an evening sooner than a month away trying to come up with a fix, but no promises. Thanks for letting me know.

hey Jafula,
Thanks again for this great addon as always.
Another bug that I've noticed is that with the currency module, it's not updating the screen position/settings when pushed out to all the toons in the group.
Thank you.

*My* complaint about the currency module is that it doesn't seem to understand the "Renown" currency, as provided for grouping and various other miscellaneous activities in WildStar. :-)

Um I don't think this was meant for wildstar? This addon is for WoW

I don't know when it changed since I stopped playing for a few months (3), but when I sign in, the team display doesn't show any chars, none. I have to turn it off and then back on for it to show up. It does this on all my teams. Is there anything I am doing wrong, or how can I get it to show up when I first sign in. Even when I sign out and back in, it doesn't show up.

That's weird. I can't think of any reason that would happen. You could try...

Disabling all addons except Jamba and Jamba-Team?
Is the list of characters in /jamba-team correct? If not something not right.
Are all the characters in a party? Although, Jamba-Display-Team shouldn't care.
If you use ISBoxer try turning off ISBoxer management of Jamba teams.

Last resort, I would destroy (or copy elsewhere) all the saved variables for Jamba, get the latest version down and start over.

I did only Jamba and Jamba-DisplayTeam as only addons. Still did it.
I tried turning settings on and off and still only shows frame name with no people in it, not even my main.
I chose the reset options/settings button in the profile section. It made my main show up. I signed out and back in and it stayed, /CheerSorta
I added the rest of the team and signed out and enabled all addons thinking it would be fine.
I signed in and noting in team display again.
I signed out and only enabled Jamba and Jamba-DisplayTeam and still doesn't show anything.
Anything I am missing. Will keep trying to experiment.


Edit: Found something. If I turn off "Assume All Team Members Always Online" Team-Display just shows up blank. But if I turn it on, Team-Display shows up. Does that help? I normally turn it off all the time or I get spammed with 'SoInSo is not online'.
