Jafula,
Anychance of bringing back Silent Selling/Repair plus the option to skip guild repair?

Right now the master is getting a lot of spam from repair/sell messages.

Thank you

You can already do this. Under toon:merchant you can untick the guild repair option.

If you want to stop getting messages, change the message area dropdown in each section to "Mute (Default)".

Feature request and a thread/post request:

Feature request is a gag toggle that keeps slaves from speaking or using most channels, cuts down on inadvertent spam.

Thread/post request could I trouble you to add in the date of new release of the newest version in the thread title or at least in the headers of the first post where you list the changes?

I'm using Jamba for several months now. It's great.
Is there anywhere an explanation how jamba macro, macro:variables, macro:macros and proc work? I have the feeling I'm missing lots of the power of Jamba by not knowing how to use that.

I maybe have a useful suggestion or two.
I'd like an opportunity to show a characters pets health in the team window.
It then would be a big improvement if I could connect macros to the area of the health bars that can be used by clicking on that area, like "let char <x> use potion <z>", "let char <x> cast Pet Heal", "let char <x> cast heal on char <y> / pet of char <y>". Much like healbot :)

Can I somehow in-game get a list of the currently defined slash-commands, hidden buttons and so on?

[loop]

Jafula,

Not sure if anyone will find this useful - I think they might - I wrote this to support a new quest reward selection method. This code will attempt to choose an item upgrades for each character from quest rewards, if it doesn't believe there is an upgrade, it will simply choose the most valuable item for vendoring. This is my first time writing anything in LUA, but I think dropping this code in AJM:DoChooseQuestReward will get you most of the way there (I've been testing in a separate addon):

At the very top of AJM:DoChooseQuestReward add:


local numberOfQuestRewards = GetNumQuestChoices()
Replace any explicit call to GetNumQuestChoices() with numberOfQuestRewards, for cleanliness.

Then, in the conditional for "more than one quest reward", a new option like "AJM.db.hasChoiceAquireBestQuestRewardForCharacter" would contain the logic below:


-- Choose the best item for this character, otherwise choose the most valuable to vendor:
local mostValuableQuestItemIndex, mostValuableQuestItemValue, bestQuestItemIndex, bestQuestItemArmorWeight = 1, 0, -1, -1
local armorWeights = { Plate = 4, Mail = 2, Leather = 1, Cloth = 0 }

-- Yanked this from LibItemUtils; sucks that we need this lookup table, but GetItemInfo only
-- returns an equipment location, which must first be converted to a slot value that GetInventoryItemLink understands:
local equipmentSlotLookup = {
INVTYPE_HEAD = {"HeadSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_NECK = {"NeckSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_SHOULDER = {"ShoulderSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_CLOAK = {"BackSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_CHEST = {"ChestSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_WRIST = {"WristSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_HAND = {"HandsSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_WAIST = {"WaistSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_LEGS = {"LegsSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_FEET = {"FeetSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_SHIELD = {"SecondaryHandSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_ROBE = {"ChestSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_2HWEAPON = {"MainHandSlot", "SecondaryHandSlot"},
INVTYPE_WEAPONMAINHAND = {"MainHandSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_WEAPONOFFHAND = {"SecondaryHandSlot", "MainHandSlot"},
INVTYPE_WEAPON = {"MainHandSlot","SecondaryHandSlot"},
INVTYPE_THROWN = {"RangedSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_RANGED = {"RangedSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_RANGEDRIGHT = {"RangedSlot", nil},
INVTYPE_FINGER = {"Finger0Slot", "Finger1Slot"},
INVTYPE_HOLDABLE = {"SecondaryHandSlot", "MainHandSlot"},
INVTYPE_TRINKET = {"Trinket0Slot", "Trinket1Slot"}
}

for questItemIndex = 1, numberOfQuestRewards do
local itemName, itemLink, itemRarity, itemLevel, itemMinLevel, itemType, itemSubType, itemStackCount,
itemEquipLoc, itemTexture, itemSellPrice = GetItemInfo(GetQuestItemLink("choice", questItemIndex))
local itemId = itemLink:match("|Hitem:(%d+)")
local isItemEquippable = IsEquippableItem(itemId)
local _, _, _, _, isItemUsable = GetQuestItemInfo("choice", questItemIndex)

if itemSellPrice > mostValuableQuestItemValue then
-- Keep track of which item is most valuable:
mostValuableQuestItemIndex = questItemIndex
mostValuableQuestItemValue = itemSellPrice
end

if isItemEquippable == 1 and isItemUsable ~= nil then
-- NPC is offering us an item we can actually wear:
local currentEquippedItemLinksInSlots = {}
local currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot = nil

-- Figure out what we already have equipped:
for _, itemSlot in ipairs(equipmentSlotLookup[itemEquipLoc]) do
if itemSlot ~= nil then
local currentEquippedItemLinkInSlot = GetInventoryItemLink("player", GetInventorySlotInfo(itemSlot))

if currentEquippedItemLinkInSlot == nil then
-- Of the n item slots available, at least one of them has nothing equipped. Ergo, it is the worst:
currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot = nil
break
else
-- There's an item in this slot, get some details on it:
local _, _, _, currentEquippedItemLevelInSlot, _, _, currentEquippedItemSubTypeInSlot = GetItemInfo(currentEquippedItemLinkInSlot)

-- We haven't yet determined the worst item, or the item we see in this slot happens to be worse than the other item
-- we saw in this partner slot (ie. a ring in one slot is worse than a ring in another slot):
if currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot == nil or currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot.itemLevel > currentEquippedItemLevelInSlot then
currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot = {
itemLink = currentEquippedItemLinkInSlot,
itemLevel = currentEquippedItemLevelInSlot,
itemSubType = currentEquippedItemSubTypeInSlot
}
end
end
end
end

if currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot == nil then
-- We're not even wearing an item in this slot, and the vendor has something we can use, take it:
bestQuestItemIndex = questItemIndex
else
if itemLevel > currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot.itemLevel then
-- NPC is providing us with an better item than what we currently have in this slot:
if armorWeights[itemSubType] ~= nil then
-- Armor subtype is one which we care to select based on some priority order:
if armorWeights[itemSubType] > bestQuestItemArmorWeight then
-- If this piece of armor is a better subtype (ie. Plate is better than Cloth if we can wear it):
bestQuestItemIndex = questItemIndex
bestQuestItemArmorWeight = armorWeights[itemSubType]
end
elseif currentWorstEquippedItemInSlot.itemSubType == itemSubType then
-- This isn't a piece of armor (ie. might be a weapon) - only take it if it's the same
-- subtype as the item we are already wearing (if we're wearing a staff, and NPC offers
-- a staff and a dagger, we'll take the staff):
bestQuestItemIndex = questItemIndex
bestQuestItemArmorWeight = -1
end
end
end
end
end

if bestQuestItemIndex < 0 then
-- If we haven't determined an item upgrade by now, just choose the one that we can vendor for the most gold:
bestQuestItemIndex = mostValuableQuestItemIndex
end

GetQuestReward(bestQuestItemIndex)
All yours if you want to make use of it. Only part of that code that isn't mine is the lookup table for equipment locations -> item slots, which I pulled in from LibItemUtils.

Hey all, lately I have been having a problem with jamba, whenever I open the /jamba menu my fps drops down to nothing and I have to constantly /rl to reload my ui.

Is there a way for me to fix this on my end?

[taurolyon]

Possible incompatible addon problem here - Every time I open a vendor to repair or sell, I get disconnected. I believe it is a problem with an addon I use called SellJunk... It sells grey items and items I blacklist automatically when I open a vendor. With JAMBA, it auto-repairs at applicable vendors. I'm thinking the server's not liking the fact that i'm processing more than one transaction at a time and disconnecting me....

Haven't had a chance to disable SellJunk and enable JAMBA's internal sell junk feature, nor have I had a chance to test to see if this is the culprit addon... Just FYI

[buzzerbeater]

Hello,

I'm new in here and have some questions.

Is there any Starter Guide for this Addon?

Because my first Problem is, that the slave is never Online.
It doesnt matter which Char I use to try it.

Is it a problem to use Win 7 or start WoW from the same direction? Do I need two wow Folders or wow.exe?

[TheFallenOne]

Bit of a minor inconvenience since the latest Jamba update, it kind of broke my round-robin setup. ;) Figured I'd check here if there was another way to do it, or if not, if we could get the functionality back.

Basically, here's how my (random example spell) Frost Nova worked. The macro for all toons was:

/castsequence #RRStart#Frost Nova#RREnd#

Then, each toon would be using a different variable set. Toon1 would use variable set FTL1, Toon2 would use FTL2, etc., all with the same macro set.

FTL1 would have RRStart set as:
FTL2 would have RRStart set as: ,
FTL3 would have RRStart set as: ,,
FTL4 would have RRStart set as: ,,,
FTL5 would have RRStart set as: ,,,,

And then the same thing for RREnd, but in reverse order. This means that each toon would end up with a round-robined macro for Frost Nova without any extra work from me!

It worked great, however, this last update has, as far as I can tell, eliminated the ability to use the same macro set with different variable sets on a per-toon basis. I'm stuck to using one variable set per macro set. I *could* duplicate the macro set for each toon and use tags to turn them on for specific toons, HOWEVER, this would cause 5x the data to be included when I "push" macro sets... and it already takes 45 seconds to a minute to push *ONLY* the macro settings with THREE sets. I can't imagine what it would be like with fifteen.

Is there any way to do this still, or could this system be setup again? The easiest way I can think of is allowing the user to duplicate Macro/Variable set entries in the new "Macro" section, using different variable sets for each. That would allow me to set it up properly using tags.

I'm surprised that you use redundant addons. What con SellJunk do what is not integrated in Jamba?

[taurolyon]

I'm still getting some random disconnects when talking to repair vendors; I've disabled all other auto-sell and auto-repair addons and also unchecked "use guild funds for repairs."

Also, I dual box with my wife's acct, and I was using Jamba 0.5c to assist in helping her quest. I setup our toons as a Jamba team, but when I told her to remove my toon from the team so I wouldn't be spammed with her quest accepts, she clicked DISBAND instead of selecting me and clicking REMOVE. Wouldn't have been so bad, however I was off doing a pug heroic and it was as if I clicked on leave party on my end.

Could you possibly disable the DISBAND button if you are not in the same party as teammates (or solo)??

I know I'm not using JAMBA for which it was originally intended, but it offers so many features that I find helpful. (i.e. auto accept guild party invites, auto repair, auto sell, monitor party member's XP to level, etc.)

[taurolyon]

SellJunk was just a left-over from my pre-dual boxing days and I hadn't the time to disable and uninstall it. Thank you, however, for pointing out the completely obvious... I merely posted this bug as a possibility of addon incompatibility.

Did you put both party members in your team list on both toons? You will need to in order to make sure that JAMBA on both clients update each other and communicate.

I use Win7 x64, and I just reopen the same WOW.EXE each time. You do not need to copy or install a second WoW client.

Hi. I have used Jamba to level two chars to 60 and it works great. Now I decided to level another two chars to 60 again, but I have a problem. My Master (think it doesn´t matter) Auto-Accept all Quests if I´m going to speak to a NPC. I have Enabled/Disabled all features of Jamba but NO option work for me. He is just Auto-Accepting Quests if I talk to a NPC. This is really bad, because I want to look what Quests are available before Accepting and Sharing them. Does someone has a solution for this?

These seems to be a bug with WoW now, even without any addons, characters (at least new ones) seem to accept quests before you even hit the accept button.

I think we'll just have to report it to blizzard and hope they fix it soon.

It was an intentional change on Blizzard's end, though it feels really weird. I guess the intent was that it makes it "easier" on new players.

Do you know any other possible solution to this? I have one char (and only this char) that is in the team list on both computers. He has the addon enabled. But he won't show up as online on the other clients, and on that client everyone else shows as offline. This also means he wont follow the leader when using ISBoxer. Quite annoying. :)

Make sure the channels are set to the same thing in the "Communication" tab on all computers. :)

[Farmerbobbeh]

Yeah, all settings are pushed to all characters.

Could it be something with the tags? I don't seem to be able to remove master as a tag on this character and I can't add master as a tag to the actual master.

[HPAVC]

I would make sure there isn't something wonky with the channel, go to social tab and see what channels you are in for both characters.

Possibly want to: Goto jamba profile, save your profile, create virigin profile, logout, login, form group, add party members, and set master. From there restore yee old profile.

Thanks. That did indeed fix it. Not sure what the problem was tbh, once I swapped to the default channel both the computers recognized the others and then swapping back to the old profile and channel worked. :)

Hi,

Is there a command in Jamba to stop follow?
To leave toons in some place?
I found lots on command to start follow..

/jamba-follow
/jamba-follow push
/jamba-follow master <tag>
/jamba-follow target <target> <tag>
/jamba-follow aftercombat <on|off> <tag>
/jamba-follow strobeon <target> <tag>
/jamba-follow strobeonme <tag>
/jamba-follow strobeonlast <tag>
/jamba-follow strobeoff <tag>
/jamba-follow setmaster <name> <tag>

but no one to stop it.. strobeoff only disables sticky follow.. but toons still follow master..
sry for stupid question :)

[airlag]

I'm still in search for a tutorial for the improved features of Jamba like how to define/use Jamba macros.
Can you please share some good links?

[airlag]

Hi,

Is there a command in Jamba to stop follow?
Move that char a tiny bit, like turning left. That'll break follow as long as strobe is off.

[128z]

Move that char a tiny bit, like turning left. That'll break follow as long as strobe is off.

hehe I understand how to brake follow in game..
question is how to brake it using only mouse on main.. without transferring buttons to toons :)

edit: to start follow i click macros icon on main.
/jamba-follow master all
or
/jamba-follow strobeonme all

question how to stop follow same way.. something like /jamba-follow stop all
or maybe just change follow focus to another toone name?

[Khatovar]

Not possible. You cannot macro movement. Follow can be broken by slave movement, slaves engaging in melee combat {or interacting with an NPC} or slaves using a channeled spell. Either way, you will need to send a command.

You can send slaves to follow another toon, but it will still require a new follow macro and your slaves will turn to face the new follow target, causing them to face the wrong way.

[Jafula]

YES! Thank you!

I'd still like to see the option added under the follow tab though, if possible! =D

Will see what I can do:

Thanks for the info, but not much I can do here. Two different addons trying to do the same thing is likely to cause issues. I can't test against all the possible addons out there. Its up to each individual user to manage their own addons.

I assume that you are still using an older version because of this.

Re: the random disconnects, turn off auto repair and auto buy/sell in Jamba and see if they go away.

I don't want to add more logic to disable the DISBAND button in this situation. I like to be able to assume that you know what you are doing when using Jamba. Obviously this was an unfortunate incident for you, but I'm sure it won't happen again. Also, the whole point of disband (for me anyway) is to have a quick way for my toons leave a party that has strangers in it. Disabling the button in this case makes it useless.

[TheFallenOne]

I assume that you are still using an older version because of this.

For now I'm still using the newest version and have just removed the round robin functionality, as it's not essential while I'm questing - once I hit 80 (at 74.5 right now) I'll either be downloading an old version or reworking my macros into whatever form works with the current version (since I won't be changing macros much at that point). :)

[Reglar]

I have a weird issue, just popped up in the last few weeks, no changes that I recall making to jamba.

I have my toons setup to purchase water and reagents when they shop. They now buy 5x as many of them as I needed. When I say 5x the number, it actually does 5 discreet buys, each time buying the amount needed.

I turned off auto-buy to see if it was another mod buying stuff - nothing bought so no other addons doing it

I deleted and re-added the items in case the data was corrupt - no change, still bought 5x what I needed.

I thought maybe there was some party multiplier going on, so dropped and logged out a character, still 5x.

I checked the .lua savedvariables and it looked ok:


["merchant"] = {
["autoBuy"] = true,
["autoBuyItems"] = {
["|cffffffff|Hitem:44605:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:80|h[Wild Spineleaf]|h|r"] = {
["tag"] = "all",
["name"] = "Wild Spineleaf",
["amount"] = 20,
},
},
},
I checked the purchase module LUA but nothing jumped out at me.

----

I debugged it some more, procedure ProcessMerchantShow is being invoked 5 times. I traced it back, and yes, its being invoked 5 times from the event, so I am at a loss. I checked registration and MERCHANT_SHOW is only registered once.

I guess there's some add-on conflict, I'll experiment more.

----

Update 2 - well its an interaction with ISBOXER, when I enable that mod then 5 purchases are made, if I disable it, normal 1. I'll see what I can dig up and if necessary open an ISBOXER thread on it.

----

Update 3 - I logged onto the ISBOXER chat channel, but Lax didn't have any ideas why it would happen, so back to asking anyone who has ideas...

----

Update 4 - and I found the issue, I had ISBOXER setup with a repair key sequence, and it invoked another key sequence to interact with target, both used broadcast to all, so it was chain broadcasting and each window was getting hit with 5 interact key requests. I changed it to not call the other key sequence and my issue went away.

Not sure why this wasn't happening before but just glad its fixed.

[Jafula]

Sweet, not a problem with Jamba then, that's what I like to read!

[king.pa]

Hi Jafula..
what a wonderful add on you've made !!
I'm amazed by your work !!

thanks for the good work...

I really do enjoy the Item buttons bar, I wish it could be used for vanity pets, mounts or even spells, which is not working atm !! If you think it's doable.. I'd be pleased by a feature like this !

again, many thanks :)

Hi jafula, I'm pushing this up as I'm sure you haven't saw my post.
thanks for the reply

Hi jafula, I'm pushing this up as I'm sure you haven't saw my post.
thanks for the reply

Hey, sorry I missed your post, I hear you. I wanted the item bar to be used for pets and mounts, but I couldn't do it easily at the time of writing. I can't use the item bar for spells easily as I would have to use an action bar for that, and wow only has a limited number of them, most, if not all, of which are used by addons like BarTender.

Plus, I think the item bar should be for items, not spells. Perhaps someone could make a spellbar module for Jamba if you really wanted spells.

I think that pets and mounts don't work, because they are now classed as spells, which is a shame. If I get some time, I might see if I can make something work, but please don't count on that.

I really like your suggestions (esp. the sell item on all toons idea), so if you have more, please let me know.

How did you get on with the French client and the words 'Drink' and 'Food' regarding the Jamba-Follow option that was do not strobe if eating or drinking? Did changing the words in the locale file work for you?

[king.pa]

Oh My, Jafula.. :p happy to help, the sell item on all toons work like a charm.. I'm pleased that you liked it :) and I'm very exited about this wonderfull feature which was good on paper.. but even better live !!

I'm really disapointed by the vanity pets and/or mount feature missing from the item bar, but it makes sense... those are no longer items but spells.. anyway, if you manage to get just two buttons : one for the vanity pets, and the second for the mounts, It will help synchronise and siplify the use of pets and mounts (especially when entering "parade" mode in dalaran :o) : I set up a macro that cast my brewfest kodo or my GT4 flying mount and that's it .. and I have plenty of mounts .. i'd like to change once in a while without having to recreate my macro on each toon each time...

at last, I'm very happy that you're mentionning the stop of follow strobing on toons which btw don't work in the french client at all.. I've saw the locale files but haven't cheked'em out.. I'll keep you posted with the result of translating the words in the fr_FR file.

thanks again Jafula.. and If I find more other good ideas, you'll be the first to know :)
happy to help :)

My Jamba isn't working right!!
I downloaded it - it was all in one folder so i added the folder to my interface>addons folder and nothing showed up. I logged out and extracted all the folders in the one folder and put them individually in my addons folder (I did this on both of my toons that I am trying to run)
Here is the Interface options I am getting --- It looks different than the screen shot I saw from the link where I downloaded the addon.
http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx209/Dragon_Coilfang/Picture20.png?t=1265288712

ALSO -- On my master (at first it was on both but after i re-installed the addon it's only on my master)
this is what I see right smak in the middle of my page
http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx209/Dragon_Coilfang/Picture19.png?t=1265288841

I was able to remove the item bar after taking the screen shot but the two bars that have my toons name are still there.

what am i doing wrong!!!

[Khatovar]

I don't really see a problem with the GUI for Jamba, that's the way it's supposed to look.

Since you didn't specifically ask any questions other than "What am I doing wrong"...

/em starts psychic mode

For the Items and Team boxes ALT+Drag to move them.

Jamba > Display: Team > to resize, hide and otherwise alter the appearance of the TEAM window.

Jamba > Item Use > to do likewise for the ITEM bar

ESC > Keybindings > *scroll scroll scroll scroll* Jamba-Item-Use to set keybindings for the ITEM bar. Do this on BOTH toons.

/em ends psychic mode.

[bi_box_curious]

According to the link I found where I downloaded Jamba, (the link on these forums took me to a page that had the download and this link) under getting started shows the add on looking like
http://wow.jafula.com/images/stories/jamba/0.2/jamba-core-team-0.2.jpg

Now, im not the most computer friendly person - but if the page that i downloaded the add from tells me this is what it's supposed to look like - thats the only thing i expect it to look like - maybe the pic is outdated or... what i thought, was i screwed up - i explained my steps so when i asked "what am i doing wrong?" i meant am i doing anything wrong in process, but i digress.

I toyed around with it a little and found how to disable the boxes that were in my way but thank you for telling me how to move them (another reason i thought something was wrong was i didnt know to alt+click)

sorry for causing psychic mode --- hey i already knew about key bindings *grins innocently*

[TheFallenOne]

The picture on the website is quite out of date. Your addon is fine. :p

That is a picture of the old version, just click the Core: Team module in the options to find the equivalent screen.

Jamba 0.5d has been released. Link in first post.


The changes are:


Jamba-Follow


Fixed toon incorrectly follow strobing on previous follow strobe master.
New option to pause follow strobing when in a vehicle.

Jamba-Quest


Changed wording on Abandon All to be specific about what it does.
New option for quest reward selection to automatically choose best reward for toon (provided by loop (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showpost.php?p=257610&postcount=1505)).
New option to override quest auto select/auto complete with the shift key.

i have serious problems with jamba showing my team offline. In last release it did same thing.

[Jafula]

i have serious problems with jamba showing my team offline. In last release it did same thing.

First of all, grats on getting to Outland with your team.

Serveral things:

1. Make sure every toon has every toon in your team in the team list in Core: Team.

2. Make sure every toon has the same channel name and channel password in the Core: Communications settings page. I would recommend resetting these and then doing a /reload on all your toons.

If you are still having trouble, you can check the "Show Online Channel Traffic (For Debugging Purposes)" box and see if your team gets listed in the channel checks.

This debug traffic is spammy, but you should see a line that is similar to:

[5. JambaTeamIsOnline] Toone, Toonb, *Toonc, Toonf

Every member of your team should be listed in this channel. If they are not, then you know that toon has a problem with its chat channel. Wiping the offending toons chat channel / history should fix the problem.

Please let me know how you get on.

Jafula.

What is the correct way update macros for a team, so if you have made a change to a tag variable and want to change some text in a macro (example being if i have tags for dual spec options, and I want to remove a tag from a character so a different macro-set is used). What exactly should someone be clicking. It seems to take quite a long time (many minutes) for the changes to propagate. Logging in and logging out speeds it up, though I could just be chasing non-sense.

Two things you need to do:

1. Make sure all toons have the same tags and macros. You can use the push settings buttons on Jamba-Tag and Jamba-Macro for this.

Note: If you just use toon tags (Jamba-Tag) as variables, this can be really quick as pushing the tag settings is fast, whereas pushing the macro settings is slow.

2. Rebuild the macros. Click "Macro" on the left hand side and then click the button "Build Macros (Team)".

I switch my paladin between tank and dps by just changing the tags that the paladin has and then clicking the "Build Macros (Team)" button.

Hope that helps, if you have any questions or suggestions, I'm all ears...

Ouch. It looks a bit messed up. Not sure why you are getting the first message.

The second message can be solved by making sure that one of your toons has the tag (see Jamba-Tag) called "toon1" (without the quotes). Your other toons should be tagged toon2, toon3, etc.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have more problems.

I have a simple question that might have been answered already but is there a way that I dont know about that makes it eaiser to add members to the team. I recently updated jamba and it took all my toons out of the team. Its easier for others that dont use ò, ô, ì, and so on to add chars but for me it takes a bit because all 15 of my team names have some sort of ascii text. The task of typing instead of being able to[shift] click the name is tearing me up. 210 times to type them in across all chars, i have to ice my hands. LOL

thanks for your time jafula!

[J6mpsikas]

dont know if there is shift click option but you sure dont need to type them to all you chars. Just your main char and when all your team is invited you just push that push settings button in right corner of jamba setup console.

Invite all your toons to a party. Then type

/jamba-team addparty

This will add all the toons in your party to the jamba team.

Type

/jamba-team

to go to the team window.

Hey Mr.Jafula-Man..:)

First, THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!!And sorry for my bad english....BOW DOWN FOR JAFULA, Your Addon give me a better-taste of Multiboxing...:p

.....but i really miss this "Old-Jamba-Target" thing..the one with the little nice RaidIcon-Roundup for a QuickMacro-Assigment and TargetHealth-Display to get a "visible" UnitStatus-Relation.:(

Ive spend hours in Interface-Modding, since your drastic change from V4.xx to V5.xx, people laught to me, seeing me and my toons sitting around, while ive to understand the Philosophia behind Jamba-Macro...anyway, ive "modded" 2 another Addons to get my MultiTargetWindow back;
Ive rearranged the ChildFrames from GCP and placed Vuhdo-Bars in a new Parental Frame:D

My Question now;

Is it possible to add the "Old" TargetMacro-System as a new Jamba-Modul?So i can "fill" in Variables for hostiletargets "on the fly" and see them in a Jamba-Frame?:cool:

Situation; Bossfight, Boss+1Heal, Maintoon (Focus on Boss) attacked Boss, Slave1 is MainHeal, Slave2 is MainAssist.
Slave1 (Focus on Maintoon) has healed the Maintoon, Slave2 (Focus on EnemyHeal) sheeped the EnemyHeal.

The Display (GCP) looks then like this;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------Target(Dist)------ TargetTarget------NextThreat(%)-------Focus(CC)-------Focustarget----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----A.BossName(>8)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-------A.BossName(20)-----MainToon----
-----A.BossName(20)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-----------MainToon(0)-----------Boss-------
-----A.BossName(20)----MainToon--------Slave1(60)-------B.1HealName(10)------Slave2------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(only 3 Targets, because i am Triboxing...the idea is expandable...)

Ive placed a GroupFrame (Vuhdo) over it, now the Targets have Bars, RaidIcons and are Clickable,too.Now I can easy remeber Casts,Toons and Targets with RaidIcons and have a random acess...the Targets, not the FocusTargets, this need more improvment with Macros inside and Delays outside of wow...this is an another thread....blabla...:eek:

Hello,

I can't find the courage to read all 157 pages of this thread, so please accept my apologies if the subject has already been raised before :

Jafula, are you interested in having the addon translated into foreign languages ? Have you considered it ? (not sure how much work it would be to change the code so that the addon supports language files) Jamba is a very popular addon among foreign multiboxers, although some of them have trouble configuring it to fit their need because they can't read English. So I would be happy to do the French translation if you'd like to take the plunge but needed help for the translations ;)

This applies to the current version of Jamba-0.5.

Yes, that would be great. You can make a start already. In each of the module files there is a directory called locale. In that directory there will be a file xxxx-frFr with lines like

L["Hello"] = true

You would need to change the lines in the Frfr file to something like

L["Hello"] = "Bonjour"

Just changing these files should be enough. Please let me know if the instructions were clear enough or if you have questions. When you have finished we can work out a way for you to send the files to me.

Cheers!
Jafula.

[Daeri]

Your instructions are clear enough;) I'll work on it this evening as soon as I'm back home and will let you know. I guess I should be able to check the results in game directly when I'm finished with the translation of a module :)

A question though :
I see you sometimes include a parameter inside a string and therefore use ' as a string delimiter instead of " :

L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = true

in that case, how can I safely use ' as a word separator (as in "I'm glad to see you"), please ?



L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = 'Etes-vous sûr(e) de vouloir supprimer "%s" de l'ensemble de variables ?'

Not sure wether there is an escape character in LUA language like in C language (\X) or if I should put two single quotes or something ? For now, I've workaround-ed this problem by wording differently the sentence but I'm curious to know the proper way to do this :p

[Tiburon502]

Hey Jafula I have come to bother you again...lol Ok since everytime I make a new team I somehow mess up my macros, is there anyway I can use my first one I made for my shammy druid team that works fine and just add the names of the other team. Or is there anyway I can just copy the old one and just change the names so I have both? Oh and I mean my 1 button leader swapping macros you helped me with before

[Daeri]

Translation done. There might be some minor changes to be done after I've submitted my work to the French speaking community.

However I've tried my modified version of the addon but it still shows in-game in English (although the "core:profiles" tab is in French and has always been). I can't figure out a way to see my changes ingame, still trying. I guess there's something to change in a config file to tell the addon which language to use ?

Getting back to WOW after a 4 month, a lot has change since that. I have downloaded the latest ver. of Jamba. I have a lot more fuction than before. I am have some problems with it. I am unable to move the Items bar and the Team Display. I have disable all the other addon and both of this box are sitting in the middle of the screen. I can use the check the hide box in Jamba but I will like to use both of this display. I am not able to left or right click and drag the boxes to the side of my display.

UseItem is not working for me. When i put an item in one of the slots on the master toon it appears on slave toons bar, but when the master toon uses the item via hot key or clicking the item on the bar the master will use it but slave will not.

Did you set the keybindings on both via the Keybindings menu in WoW? Make sure the binds aren't also tied to something else by default.

[Maxion]

And i'm pretty sure clicking it won't work, only the keybind you set on everyone.

[Fuzzyboy]

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but:

Would like to see a level filter on chat forwards. I have a spam filter, but it seems that Jamba forwards before the spam add-on filters (bad-boy in my case) - I wouldn't really need a spam filter if I could simply specify to filter out all messages from characters with a level lower than 10 (or whatever) - would be great and save me an add-on.

Also, I'd love to see an option to switch off jamba. I realize that this can be done in part with profile, but not completely. Rigth now I use ACT to do that, but it would be nice to be able to macro it.

Also - great work, love the add-on - especially the macro functionality is brilliant!

[Maxion]

Agreed on the level filter, the spammers have become more numerous lately, and it would be nice to still have some of my chat log intact by the time I manage to broadcast type /ignore and the horribly iffy-to-type names they often use.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for such a great addon.

I was wondering if you are able to include the functionality in order to make the "Jamba Team" section able to be detected by "Clique" 's frame selection.

As a multiboxer this would be great.
I use IsBoxer and could use the repeater region to overlay the "Jamba Team" section for healing.

I would be able to remove grid / healbot and free up UI space. I have yet to check out the lua code, so am unsure if this is possible. Just thought I would make a post here as it may be usefull.

Thanks again.

An update on this subject : thanks to the French speaking multiboxing community, the translation of the addon has very well progressed and is now almost complete saved a few technicals issues that should be very easy to solve on your part ;) :
- as the translation is not automatically enabled yet, we figured out a way to test our work ingame using an awful hack :D
- a few text areas could be enlarged a little as the translated text is currently cut even though here is available room on the configuration panel. See example below :
http://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/11/04/63/29/th/jamba-10.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=35&u=11046329)
- in the displayTeam module, the name of the blizzard dialog background is included in the translation file, but it seems it shouldn't as things got messed up when I translated that text.
- not sure if it would be also be possible to make it possible to translated titles of the modules as seen in the left panel of the configuration screen ?

Jafula, thanks again for that great addon and for offering it to the community :)

Now that I think about it, if you have unbound the default key to reply to whispers on your alt, but still have it bound on your main, and used it while forgetting to pause your key broadcasting, when you hit enter to send the message, your alt will open their chat input. (since the R didn't do it for them, the enter did).

I know I've made this mistake several times.

Blizzard changed the way the Hot Streak and other procs were reported in the combat log. This means that Jamba-Proc no longer works correctly. I'd like to fix it some day, but in the mean time, I suggest you do not use Jamba-Proc, but use MSBT instead.

Sorry, Jamba cannot move configs from one toon to another for non-Jamba addons (like Bartender).

You might like to check out the curse.com premium client. If you pay for it, you can copy configs from one place to another. I think if you set up your wow games in the curse client, it might be able to do this. Please note, I'm not 100% sure about this, you'll need to check it out yourself.

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for such a great addon... it has to be the single most important multibox mod ever!

[Maxion]

Just a small issue I've noticed with jamba right after logging on (after waiting for all addons, including jamba, to load completely):
Sometimes after logging on, the team display is not getting populated with the whole team (usually either characters, or 3 out of 5) and then hitting my "/jamba-team invite" macro only invites the characters currently displayed in the list (either none or the other two in the example above).
And the only way to get the whole team invited is to either disband and try again (in the case of partial invites) or to open the jamba-team config menu and hit the invite button manually (in the case of no invites happened).

Please see if you can fix this :)

Also, eagerly anticipating the next update, thanks for a great addon! ^^

Somethings causing it to not show messages. Anyone else see this problem?

No, actually, or at least that's not what I messed with to get everything back up. Apparently..I had turned jamba-communications off, and that's what was hiding everything. Turned it back on, turned off the debug..thing (It was spamming me to death) pushed a channel to everyone, relogged and it worked o.o''... so.. I guess that works. lol. Thanks again for replying >.< I Need to try + have less blonde moments.

Yeah.. debug mode is not something we want to have on normally

Jamba-Quest


Quest reward selection to automatically choose best reward for toon option will now halt when a reward item type is rare (blue colour) or of a higher type and allow the player to choose the reward.

Great ! And thanks again Jafula for having made this possible :) Of course feel free to notify me whenever you add or change change any text in the addon. I'll be happy to translate these as well.

Sweet as, I have a couple of new modules in mind to bring 0.5 up to the full functionality of 0.4, so you'll probably be hearing from me soon.

This Jamba addon seems wonderful, and if I soon start playing 5 toons I can really see it will be able to make many things much easier. Are there any risks, is it 100% legal and not interfering in any way with Blizzard rules?

There has been a bit of debate about this is the past, you can search the forums if you are interested.

My humble opinion:

It's all good. Addons can only run code that Blizzard allows. Have fun!

How do I send chat snippets? I have tested but it only sends my command, not the actual text.
If I have a snippet called mb do I only write !mb in my whisper to send it, or am I missing something here? When doing this my receiver only get !mb as a whisper...

Hmmm, the way I originally built chat snippets was that they only worked when you replied to a slave toon that someone else had whispered, which was just plain lame!

After reading your question and seeing how limiting the functionality was, I changed it so that what you are trying to do will work. You will need Jamba 0.5f which has just been released. You will have to go into the Jamba-Talk settings and check the "Enable Chat Snippets" box.

Now typing /w toon !mb will send your chat snippet text. The snippet command will only work on its own; i.e. trying to send "blah blah !mb blah blah" will not work. You need to send "!mb" only.

Please let me know if this works for you!

Cheers,
Jafula.

[Jafula]

Jamba 0.5f released.


Jamba-Talk

Chat snippets now need to be enabled, by checking the check box that says "Enable Chat Snippets". Chat snippets can be whispered without need to reply to someone. For example a chat snippet called "mb" with the text explaining about multiboxing can be whispered by typing: /w toon !mb

Jamba-Quest


Fixed a bug with auto quest accepting which happened due to a change in the wow api for 3.3.3.

[BlueGriffon]

I loaded Jamba 0.5d just last week and have been having a ball with it! I haven't had the opportunity to play with chat snippets yet, but the change log for 0.5f has gotten me interested. But I'm not sure of the syntax from the documentation and the change log.

The new syntax of "/w toon !mb" (where mb is a chat snippet that described multi-boxing) looks simple and clear... but who exactly is "toon"? Is this just someone out of the blue that my main wants to send a whisper to (without first having received a message by the main or any of the slaves)? Can a slave initiate a whisper with a chat snippet (from the main screen)?

The syntax of "/w slave @bob !mb" (where the main replies to a slave that someone else had whispered to) seems clear enough... but I'm not sure why the "@bob" part is required. From what I can tell, the normal operation of Jamba is the "Forward Whispers and Relay" (forwards a whisper directed to a slave to the master, and then a reply to the slave from the master will cause the slave to reply to the original whisperer with the master's reply). So with this rule, I would imagine that "/w slave !mb" (with the "/w slave" part being filled in via the press of the key bound to "reply") would do the trick... and would be a godsend if "bob" has one of those funky special ascii character names.

Fanastic, now it works great! Thanks!
This addon is fantastic, I just sent you a donation. Keep up the great work. :)

Another question/improvement.
Any chance you can allow pets to also be shown in the Jamba team list, and an option to remove the standard party portraits so only the Jamba team list can be used instead?

[Jafula]

Yes, "toon" is anyone you want to whisper to. You do not need to have received a whisper before you can do this. You can initiate this from any toon (master/slave).


Can a slave initiate a whisper with a chat snippet (from the main screen)?

When you say "main screen", I assume you mean the master. To get a slave to whisper someone from the master screen, you can type on the master:

/w slave @someone my message to someone from slave

If you want to send a chat snippet that has a name of mb (typing on master via slave):

/w slave @someone !mb



The syntax of "/w slave @bob !mb" (where the main replies to a slave that someone else had whispered to) seems clear enough... but I'm not sure why the "@bob" part is required.

@bob is optional and you can use it to tell the slave to whisper a particular person (in this case bob) rather than the last person that whispered them.


From what I can tell, the normal operation of Jamba is the "Forward Whispers and Relay" (forwards a whisper directed to a slave to the master, and then a reply to the slave from the master will cause the slave to reply to the original whisperer with the master's reply). So with this rule, I would imagine that "/w slave !mb" (with the "/w slave" part being filled in via the press of the key bound to "reply") would do the trick... and would be a godsend if "bob" has one of those funky special ascii character names.

Yes, if a slave forwards a whisper to your master and you reply to your slave, the slave forwards your reply onto the orginal sender, and you can use a chat snippet in this case.

Which is actually the original design of the system, the addition I made yesterday was to let chat snippets be used in all whispers, not just when replying to someone via a slave (from the master).

I don't play a pet class, so I have never had the need. I've put your request on the list of things to do here:

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/tickets/84-add-pets-to-jamba-display-team/

I don't know how to remove the party portraits (I'm sure there is a way). I'm trying to make sure Jamba doesn't become a party portrait addon, because that is a lot of work and there are plenty of good addons out there already that do a great job.

Something I would like to do is integrate Jamba into PitBull or XPerl. Feehza has posted some code which you can use to setup a custom group in Pitbull here:

http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=29654

I think, if I was going to spend time on portraits, it would be doing more integration...

Under Core Team there is an option "override: set to group loot if stranger in group". Would it be possible to make the override only activate if I actually do invite real strangers, not when inviting a player currently in my friend list? When boxing I always want to use free for all, but I want it also when playing with my real life friends.

Just tried broadcasting abandoning a quest (using Jamba-0.5f) and it works perfectly for me.

I use the default UI. The only quest mod I use is EveryQuest.

Some suggestions:

Double check all your toons are in the team list (on all toons). Try disabling other addons until the functionality works.

Sorry, this cannot be done because Blizzard have protected the function that accepts trades. You have to use a hardware event (key press/mouse click) to accept trades.

+1. This sometimes happens to me too :p In my case, this happens when, for wathever reason, one toon gets out of combat a few seconds after the main character. But since there's no easy way to know I summon the flying mount too early.

Jamba 0.5g released!

Jamba-Proc


Overhauled - can now move location of bars, set bar texture, font, size.
Procs are now based on spell ID rather than name.
Can specify proc colour / sound on a per tag basis.
Way better, check it out!

Jamba General Bug Fix

Got this issue as well. It seems related to the new proc bars. It seems that the handle is still on the screen even when invisible ? I could workaround it by moving the bar from the center of the screen to one corner so that I don't accidentally click on the bar anymore when trying to move the camera.

Ah, yes, the proc bar is still actively taking mouse input. My bad. I'll change it so that you can only move the bar when showing the test bars and that should fix the mouse problem. I've got the updated French translations from Daeri, so I'll make a release now with this fix.

Being slightly OCD, I like all my stuff to line up on my various toons. I love the push feature, and was wondering if a push feature could be implemented to push the window positions to other toons?

[Milenko]

really need your help, my head is about to explode. ok i had it working before, but somehow i messed it up :(

my problem is my shamen keeps following me in combat, when he is supposed to be ranged caster, he breaks cast mid spells if i move on my pally tank, i had it setup fine so when he got into combat he stayed still (sometimes he wouldn't be facing the mob so i would have to drag to mod in front of him but that was fine)

but i broke it, i,ve tryed the slash commands to turn strobing off " /jamba-follow strobeoff all " but it still doesn't work :(

[coglistings]

either your shammy doesn't have the proper "all" in its tag list in your case or there is something out of place with a setting on your shammy, can attempt a repush of that config page to him/her but as I think about it, you are probably missing the "all" tag on your shammy

GL :)

[Milenko]

this really is driving me nuts, i had it fine before :( now its broke i done something i don't know what, i,ve turned off strobing, but when i have autofollow after combat on its autofollow 24/7 never leaves me alone :(

[Milenko]

btw cog the all/justme/slave tags are there by default, and i just tested they can't be removed

[coglistings]

well, this is going to sound strange but i'll recommend it anyway. add another tag to your entire team, ie "pleasework" and assign that tag to everyone. then set pleasework as the tag the jamba-follow goes off of. If that works, then praise the gods as we would say and term the call :D

if that doesn't do it, then you can always take the bliz tech approach and delete the associated toon's wtf folder.

jafula would have to confirm but I think that there is a hidden key binding that he uses to break follow, ie down arrow or something. If your bad toon had that keybinding remapped accidently, then that would break jambas ability to break follow. reset your keybindings for that toon before you do the wtf and a repush of jamba settings.

Thanks for helping out coglistings; there is no way for an addon to stop following. An addon can start following, but not stop it. Jamba can stop strobing follow, but once that is done, you still need to press a movement / jump / sit to stop following.

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of Jamba, as there have been several bug fixes for follow.
2, Make sure no other addons are enabling follow as well. For example, ISBoxer can /follow for you through its interface and in game addon.
3. If you want everyone but your caster to follow, tag every other toon as "melee"; then issue the command: /jamba-follow strobeonme melee. Make sure your caster does not have this tag.

Still not working after checking this and coglistings advice? Write back and I will try and help some more!

Hmmm, I deliberately kept the windows settings out as like having them in different spots on my slaves vs my master. I don't have this issue anymore as I use ISBoxer now, so I could push the settings through.

I'll see if I can add a seperate button for the window postions so as not too annoy anyone who relies on this feature. I assume you want both the display team and item bar window positions?

Back in version .4, you had mentioned that strobing was causing the follow display not to update properly. Is this still the case? The follow indicator never seems to sync back up, even after over an hour of playing and the guys following using strobing.

Perhaps a feature request to occasionally resync things, and perhaps another to do a manual sync of things between the master/slaves?

Thanks for the great software, and if you need a bounty to add these features, I'd be willing to pony up some dough, or just donate if you prefer that.

When you are follow strobing, the follow indicator is turned off. Otherwise the addon channel would be flooded with follow on/off messages every second.

Settings don't go out of sync by themselves and auto resync seems overkill.

/agree with poster

the default channel is sometimes screwed with. You can debug by looking at your chat channels ingame, key o, chat tab gl :)

[Daeri]

Do you think there could be a way to simplify the channel configuration part ? Nearly all jamba related questions we have on the French forums are about "main shows off-line" and other similar issues with the channel. It seems this is the same here as well. I have no real trouble with this myself (if I create a new team and one toon is shown offline in Jamba I will solve the problem within a few seconds) but it's often very difficult to get newcomers to understand the issue, how to investigate it and eventually how to get it solved :P The concept of a discussion channel doesn't seem very obvious to understand at first (but it's indeed a very nice and powerful solution to the communication problem). I've thought a bit about it but can't come up with a suggestion for an easier way to do this yet. Maybe an error message upon login that says "I can't find toon X in the communication channel despite being listed in the team, please check their channel settings" ?

Good idea! I will add a toggle which turns the warning on/off and have it on by default; as having a toon offline can be a legitimate situation.

What parts of the display team? What action do you want to happen when you click on a particular part?

[ElectronDF]

I would start at a whole line.
"Portrait" "Health" "Experience" "Power"
If you click anywhere on that line for a char, it selects that char.

It used to do that, and it was nice. Imgine you are in a BG and your team is spread out, you can select a person that is hurt to help heal them. You can select a person that is not near you to summon them out in the normal places. You can select a person with a bad debuff in a raid so you can fix it. It just helps so much to be able to pick a person on your team so you can do something to them.

Keybinds are fine for some people, but for things that happen once every 10-20 hours of game play, a click works for me.

[rage]

well.. when i klick the name or health bar or anything related to that char i need to have him as target .. thats everything -.-

Ah I didn't think of trying that. Also how do I stop this spam when I'm in a random PuG:

You are now a passing on random loot x 10

This is in a random PuG and I can't get it to stop or let me be eligible for loot. Even after checking the option for strangers in group.

Goto to the Jamba - Core: Team options. Scroll all the way to the bottom of that and make sure that the option "Slaves Opt Out of Loot" is NOT selected. If it is selected, that is your problem. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

Hmmm, I might put a fix in for you, so you can click on the display team and target the character you clicked on. Will release it today, so check back in 24 hours time for a new Jamba release.

Edit: Its done. Release to come.

jafula i have a similar issue, i often pug raids with several of my toons, and i have the same spam going on, whenever anyone zones in or out, or is invited to the group it spams the passing on loot garbage. Its a handy thing to notify, but it is really spammy at times. problem being, i WANT them to opt out of loot i just dont want them to spam me all afternoon about it.

Ah, thank you for explaining that. I have fixed the opt out of loot option so that it will only change when it actually needs to change. This should stop the spamming you are experiencing. Should be a new release within 24 hours.

and thanks for the command too.. got a similar but did not work -.-

for examble the alignment of the different bars!

Since downloading the new Jamba, all the toons in my Jamba-team list are permanently offline, including the lead character. Can't group invite them or use any jamba-team actions. The only thing I changed was updating Jamba.

Change the core:communications channels on all toons. Make up your own channel name and password (no spaces) and enter this information seperately into each toons core:communications options. Seperately because these channel settings cannot be pushed. Then log out of all your toons and log them back in. Give it 30 seconds and they should all be able to see each other.

I think your WoW addons have been corrupted somehow. I recommend starting over with your Jamba installation. Delete all WTF files associated with Jamba, delete Jamba and reinstall the latest version of Jamba.

Also delete your cache files as well.

That should sort your problems out.

Same advice for you; you should not be getting an errors when you turn on show test bars in proc. Also, sorry that you lost your procs. You should be able to add them back in after you reinstall (see below).

[howster]

I have a question about Jamba. Or should i say request if this cant be done atm.
The thing is that i would like to know when my team is standing in something they should not stand in. Ie. Poison Pools, Death and Decay (deathwhisper in ICC) etc. Since i have set my setting to low on my slaves i can barely see if they stand in stuff like that.. Especially in ICC when Deathwhisper casts DnD on my slaves while i run with my tank to take care of adds and stuff like that.
Can this be done atm? Was thinking about perhaps like the way jamba proc module works.
Other than that I just love your addon and keep up the great work :D

[alcattle]

You might try something like Deadly Boss mod, it tells you a lot about what the boos is/will do.

[Daeri]

I think it should be possible to set up grid (or vuhdo) so that is shows an icon directly over the bar of a toon when it gets a given debuff ?

[howster]

I use DBM But my main is the tank.. While my dps/healer is all casters and does not stand where my main is i dont get notified on my main screen.. My 2nd screen has 4 wow windows up with my slaves.. And the text from DBM is at the highest but i still cant notice warning (small screen).. Would be way easier to just focus on my main screen and get the warning there.

Any way to do this?

Hmm.. I use vuhdo so might take a look in there.

[Daeri]

I just checked ingame : under Vudho settings, there's a "debuffs" tab. You can add custom buffs/debuffs to the list and personalize the way each of them is shown ;)

[Jafula]

From what I have been reading I think the easiest way to do this would be to try and forward messages from DBM that occur on your slaves to your master.

Edit: Here is a ticket in the todo list for it: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/tickets/93-see-if-messages-from-dbm-can-be-forwarded-from-slaves/

not sure where to put this but if u could make it so that if one of my chars goes idle in a bg it pops up on the masters screen. i hate ppl that report my slaves afk half the time i dont notice till its to late so a nice anoying sound and message in red would be nice.

[rage]

hey jafula, its me again :D

i was just thinking about the awsomeness of things like toon pick same rewards as master..
so i thought they could follow master in some other decitions.. for example

- accept/decline battleground invite (normaly u have to do it with mouse repeater or klick in each windows but this will spread ur team in different groups..
- leave the battleground on finishing screen
- accept/decline tw invite
- release corps

or overall klick the same button as the master.. what ever is easier to achieve!
hope i gave u some inspirations :D

If your characters are inactive then they are leeching experience and honour from the battleground. The fact that they are following your master character around does not change this fact. Are you not using your slaves?

Macros can do most of what you are asking for. Also there are addons that can do it (look for battleground addons). For the macro, the general idea (at work, so you can look it up in wiki).
/script AcceptBattlefieldPort(1,1)
It accepts the first BG that you signed up for.
/script LeaveBattleground()
It WILL kick you if you use it during a BG not just at the end. So make it a seperate button. I use a program that lets me send text to all my alts, so I just send that as a text.
/script RepopMe()
/script RetrieveCorpse()
1st releases you, 2nd is used when in ghost at your body. Pretty much just put AcceptBG, Repop and Retrieve in your accept all macro.
Not sure what "- accept/decline tw invite" is. But there is probably a /script Accept for it.

Hope that helps and good luck.

Lol

My toons get marked inactive all the time, even though I'm definitely trying to be as active as possible. Perhaps one died and I'm trying to regroup my slaves which means one is standing solo for 90 seconds while I get back to them. Sometimes people just don't like seeing multiboxers and start telling everyone to mark you as inactive, even if you're leading in kills or healing.

The inactive buff does not mean people are leeching exp. Stop calling it a fact.

[rage]

/script AcceptBattlefieldPort(1,1) is only thing i dont have at this time but, would be a bit more comfortable when it would be integrated in jamba..

See below for the battleground invite. Thanks for the ideas! Most of these are probably better off as macros as some of them are protected; but the release corpse might be doable.

Functionality would be: if you release corpse on one, it tries to release on any of the others. I don't know the WoW api function for this call, if its not protected I might be able to add it in for you. No promises...

Personally I would love it if Jamba (and all addons really) included another frame in the GUI called "Slash Commands"

For Jamba, you could either add it to the main info page, or on a help frame under Toon: Merchant, and it would include the contents of http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/jamba/pages/slash-commands/

Changes in 0.6

Jamba-Quest

* New Quest Watcher frame, watch quests from slaves on master.

Jamba-Toon

* New AFK warning.

Jamba-Display-Team

* Can now change background and border colours on team display.

Jamba-Item-Use

* Can now change background and border colours on the item bar display.

[Maxion]

Sweet, the curse client already had it with version 0.6-2, I just had to hit the refresh button when you said you posted it ^^

Looks like some of the items in your list of changes got duplicated though.

[Jafula]

Ah, thanks, will sort the list out.

Good you got 0.6-2 as 0.6 was missing all the modules; but its fixed now.

[Owltoid]

Jafula,

Thanks again! Why does the push all settings not truly push all settings? For example, it used to not push the team list location. I've noticed that it doesn't push the Jamba request options because I need to go in and manually unclick the auto deny guild box. Do you have a list handy that tells which options are not pushed?

Also, I seem to remember in the past (6-12 months ago) that the health bars on the team list would not update as quickly as unit frames. Am I remembering incorrectly? If not, can you give a brief explanation of why it's different than unit frames?

Thanks!!!!!!

Hey Owl,

The team list location and item bar location were deliberately not pushed until a recent update. Now all settings should get pushed, there are none that get left out. I can push the Toon: Request options just fine, so you might like to check your settings and make sure your team make up is correct.

In 0.4 the health bar updates were sent over the addon channel. This was so you could see health updates from toons outside party/raid. It was slow and filled the addon channel with too much traffic. In 0.5 I changed it to use regular events like unit frames do, which meant that it only works for party/raid. It should be as fast as the unit frames.

Hope that answers your questions!

Jafula.

Jafula, I've sent you a PM with the French translation of the new quest watcher module ;)

[valle2000]

Would it be possible to make Jamba-Taxi to also work with portals?
If master clicks on a portal, slaves will as well (if standing close enough to the portal).

[Owltoid]

Not a chance, I'm guessing.

[Maxion]

Would it be possible to make Jamba-Taxi to also work with portals?

Not a chance, I'm guessing.

Indeed, that requires a click in the playfield and is not a ui element, thus is a secure function which addons cannot do.

[Maxion]

Jafula, could you enable clickthrough for the background of the quest watcher? Or at least add an option for it.
Right now, it makes the whole area of it's possible maximum space unclickable.

Also, the option to warn when a toon goes afk, turning it off does not work, it still warns.
In addition, I think those that wanted that warning wanted it for pvp, where you need to keep the toons from going afk, so a warning after it's already happened is pretty useless.
Or rather I think they wanted a warning if anyone get's the Inactive debuff, not an afk flag.

[jeepdriver]

Is there anyway to move quest watcher from the center of the screen?

[jeepdriver]

Never mind, figured it out 5 secs after I posted LOL

As the others have said, there is no way to do this. Would be nice though, wouldn't it!

Quest Watcher: Ok, I will see what I can do. Due to the way I have implemented the scrolling, this could be a little complicated, but I'll try my best (until I get bored) :-D.

AFK Warning: I must not have had enough coffee that day. I'll make sure the you can turn the warning off for next release. Unless I start a timer myself; I'm not going to know about AFK until it happens (and I think manging my own timer is overkill for this).

Inactive debuff: Ah, I don't PVP, so I didn't know about this. If someone can tell me the EXACT name of the debuff, I might be able to detect it and add a warning for that as well (hopefully you'll be able to turn this one off :-) ).

Update from my previous error post:

It looks like InspectEquip and Jamba may be conflicting. With either disabled no errors occur and everything works great. Enable them together and the error is generated and all chat functions in jamba no longer function (other stuff may break too, not sure). For example slaves will no longer send tells to the master when they receive tells.

Inspectequip version 1.7.7 (pretty sure the change occured here as it updated on 7/1 and that's when the errors started)
Jamba version 0.6.2

Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what InspectEquip does, but you could try using Examiner instead, see if that works better.

I'm having an issue where Quest Watcher isn't loading when I first log into the game.

So I log in, the Team-Window displays after a bit, but Quest Watcher doesn't. It also doesn't show after I've invited my group. I have to /reloadui after inviting everyone, and then it shows up.

Toggling the Show Quest Watcher checkbox in the options doesn't help.

Having the same problem. Would be nice to have a hotkey to force QW to display.

The quest watcher will only show up if you (a toon in your team) is tracking a quest. If you want to see the window, track a quest.

1) Please tell me if this is not the case.
2) Is this okay behaviour? Or do you want the force the watcher window to display.

If I get a chance, I'll install that addon and see if I can replicate your error.

I have multiple quests being tracked on all toons. The blizzard quest tracker shows up with them (any way to disable that btw? I couldn't find anything in the blizzard options.)
If I /reloadui, the jamba quest watcher shows up.

[FunkStar]

While using 'Slaves opt out of loot' options, since the last patch, they dont actually opt out of loot. Or rather. 1 of my 3 teams does. The others don't. All settings are correct (afaik). The thing is, if I manually check my slaves' loot options, it IS set to pass on loot, but they dont. If I then manually set 'Pass on loot' to 'No' and then back to 'Yes' it does work.

Any idea on how to fix this? Or even a simple macro command to opt out of loot would do it. I don't mind 1 extra keypress

edit: forgot to mention, this issue only started occuring from the release where you fixed the 'you are now opting out of loot' spam messages

[sensenmann]

I am not seeing some or all of my toons in the jamba window / team menu. They show up as offline, even though they are online and in the same party. Relog and such doesnt fix.

Change the core:communications channels on all toons. Make up your own channel name and password (no spaces) and enter this information seperately into each toons core:communications options. Seperately because these channel settings cannot be pushed. Then log out of all your toons and log them back in. Give it 30 seconds and they should all be able to see each other.

Hmmm, sounds like somethings not quite right; will have a look and see if I can fix it for next release.

jamba does actually not send real id whispers from toon to main

Indeed.
Hopefully Jafula will figure out how to give us this function, as it will solve any current issues regarding multiple accounts and realid.

[Owltoid]

Thanks to Jafula mentioning Jamba Item in the 'rank the useful tools of Jamba thread' and others mentioning it in other threads, I now have Jamba Item set up. Wow, that is REALLY useful! I even use it to equip new quest gear that I receive.

Thanks again, Jafula!

yup, i do the same, it's really very useful.

I remember mentioning this a long time ago, but is there a way to have Jamba tell the master how much godl a slave has? or even sum up the info from all slaves?

I'm trying to configure altoholic to work cross-accounts but it doesn't seem to work too well (can't see toons on other accounts), was wondering if there was something in Jamba.
Just to keep track, after selling all the grays and getting quest money and loot share, of how much each toon has.

I know some people were using macros to make their alts say in party chat how much money they had on them.
In altoholic, remember to select all accounts in the drop down menu at the top to show them, after first sharing the data of course.

[Sam DeathWalker]

I turned on Show Online Channel Traffic and 3-5 times a second I am getting:


JambaCommunications: ChatFrame_MessageEventHandler
JambaCommunications: Team Channel: match? this: trade - city: team: sdwrulz or: sdwrulz


It just keeps spamming this constantly. sdwrulz is my channel name in core:communications.



Also is there a 15 or 16 person limit on the channel; my team just starts over after I log in my 16th or 17th guy. Whats changed, I used to get all 36 with no problem.

[gbremset]

Indeed.
Hopefully Jafula will figure out how to give us this function, as it will solve any current issues regarding multiple accounts and realid.

To solve your realid problem for the time being, here is how to do it (and this has worked every time for me)

1: open up your windows, but do not log in (not even to battle.net)
2: log in to all your slaves, battle.net and characters
3: log in to your master, battle.net and character

Voila.. Your master should now be the realid target for whispers.

It's important that you do NOT log in to battle.net from your master screen until you have all your slaves up and running.

Now for a question for Jafula. (I haven't read all the latest posts yet, I'll remove this if I find something)
I'm having some issues with Jamba questing at the moment.. It is having problems passing questlog actions from the master to the slaves. I've been offshore, so I upgraded straight to 6.2 when I got home after 5 weeks.. Can't remember which version I was on before that.

[alexanderthenotsogreat]

hey guys i use this addon now and its pretty cool it will be even more cool if stuff that the addon offers actualy work, dont get me wrong i like the addon and i am glad someone like thim made the addon but still it got a lot of flaws as of now 2010.
i am boxing 5 shammy's using 2 monitors 1 big screen infront of me that has only one wow frame and the other 4 wow frames on my second monitor, now i made it like this that if i press f9 it swaps a frame from the other monitor to the monitor infront of me makes this frame the new main slave while doing so, ok so now i got this new (master) but problem comes now the ftl is not making this new slave the new ftl target, so if i would have macro on my tones for exsample /click JambaFTLTarget or /click JambaFTLAssist it would not work, the beuatiful thing with this ftl stuff if it would work we dont have to make macro like /assist party1 using this sucks cause if for exsample we go to bg and soemone else is leader its screwed thats why ia m so big fan of this ftl stuff but it dont work the way it should, yea ok it work if i do /jamba
and set manualy the ftl but that saucks ofc u dont wonna do that when u just wonna fast swap i mean u made a command to make new masters via the commandline but it dont set this new masters as the ftl target, thats big fail in my eyes.
please please fix this and i will make imba donations i promise lol

[Zub]

ouch was that only one sentence ? >.<
