That sounds great to me. I tried to get the macro module to work, but didn't succeed. Granted, I haven't put in extensive time on it, but it would be nice to have a guide for that kind of stuff.

that sounds like a great idea, i hope it happens!

The macro sharing in Jamba is extreamly usefull. It definatly takes some time to learn but once you get the main concept of variables / tags / and such, it becomes second nature and extreamly powerfull.

For example: Once you make a macro for all your toons to drink. as your leveling up and the drink changes, all you have to do is change the variable, push the changes to the slaves and reconstruct macros. poof. all toons now change their drinking macro to the new drink. - This is just an example. You could just put the new drink on the action bar, but with the macros you do not need to keep it on the action bar which frees it up for something else.

I would definatly like to see a video made for this. I am sure that I am not using the full potential of Jamba.

OMG, that is extremely useful. I suspected it is an awesome feature, but like previously stated didn't get a handle on it. Now I need to learn how to use that one.

A guide someone? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

I might throw together a video on how I setup mine this weekend. Untill then here is a quickie guide that I found off another M-Boxing site:

Ok, to get things started, I'll include a brief "How To" here. Just so others don't have to dig through a ton of other threads. I'll edit this as needed.

Build your team (I've found the fastest way to do this is to change the comm channel to something unique with a simple password, then add the master to all the slaves. On the master (only) add all the slaves. If they don't show as "Online" go to the Com section and click the button to change the channel. Once that is set choose "Push Settings to Other Toons" .. I push that button often while playing around in Jamba.

Go to Jamba:Variables. Click "Add" and for the name call it "MyVariables" (call it whatever you want, I'm using this for the example).
Add any variables you may need. Notice the "Tag" section? That determines WHO gets that variable assigned. For example: I have 2 mages, a warlock and a priest. I want to create a spell for each for CC. I create the variable CC 3 times. It has the following value
Variable: CC, Value: Polymorph, Tag (Applies to): Mage
Variable: CC, Value: Banish, Tag (Applies to): Warlock
Variable: CC, Value: Shackle: Undead, Tag (Applies to): Priest

Go to Jamba: Tag section and make sure that my Mage has the Mage tag, Priest has Priest, and Warlock has Warlock.

Go to Jamba:Macro section and add a Macro List. I don't know the real name for this. Consider it a "Master List of Macros". Call it your Team's name. I called one GhalloTeam for my Pally team, and PriestLockTeam for my other team (not listed here). Though to be honest I don't see much need to create more than one.

Add some macros. Let's create a macro called "CCSpell"

In the Macro Text section type:

/stopcasting /cast [harm,nodead][@focustarget,harm,nodead][@targettarget,harm,nodead] #CC#

Make sure to click the "Accept" button (I can't tell you how many times I've lost a macro because I forgot that part).

Since my main is a paladin, I don't want him casting this spell. I type !Paladin in the Tag (Applies to) box. Alternatively, you could type: Mage,Priest,Warlock (probably better to do that).

Next, Bind a key to this. I can either use Macaroon and create a button that has /click JMB_CCSpell or I can bind the button from this screen.

Push and wait! If you don't click the button to push this to other characters and then wait till you see the message "Settings received from xxx" then the final step will not work.

Go back to your "Accept all" macro... you know the one we all have for accepting trades/etc? Add the following line:

/jamba-macro use <macro set name> <variable set name> <tag>or for my example -

/jamba-macro use GhalloTeam MyVariables allOnce that line is added, hit the button.

All of your toons should have their chat window go nuts with the new macros that have been added. Check it out and have fun!

Whelp okay I would love to do a video on this. But I need a cohost for this, somebody who is excellent at Jamba.

Jafula would be awesome, but if he is a little internet-fame shy, maybe somebody else could school me in on this and cohost it with me?

[crazyknight]

Im no expert but I have gotten Jamba-macro to work well with my team. Jafula would definatly be a great cohost. I think that would make a great video.

Definitely internet fame shy!

Just released Jamba 0.7a. You can download it from my site or curse.com. It includes the a new module Jamba-Trade.

You can check out a video of an early version of Jamba-Trade in action here:

YouTube - Jamba-Trade Preview

Changes in Jamba.

Jamba-Talk

* Now forwards and relays Battle.Net RealID Friends whispers.

Core: Communications

* No more changing team online channels for Jamba! Option added to Core: Communications that when checked will make Jamba assume all toons are always online (on by default).
* Performance improvements for Jamba addon channel commands and messages. Make sure your toons are all in a party / raid and pushing settings, etc, will be much faster.
* Added an option to tweak ChatThrottleLib settings to allow for faster addon traffic. Option is in Core: Communications and is called "Boost Jamba to Jamba Communications". The main change is to reduce FPS to 10 before the CTL cuts the traffic in half. This is on be default and may cause disconnections. If it does, please let me know.

Quest: Watcher

* Massive performance improvement when completing quests. Should no longer get any lag.
* Quest heading now shows (X/Y) where X is the number of toons that have the quest (watching it) and Y is the total number of toons in your team.
* Can now click through to the background when over the quest watcher area.
* Quest Watcher now needs to be unlocked (an option) before it can be moved with alt + left drag.
* Added option to hide Blizzard's Quest Watch Frame when Jamba's is enabled.
* Can now click on quest objectives to toggle the display of toons progress underneath.
* Added option to show completed quests as 'DONE" rather than '10/10'.
* Added option to _not_ hide completed objectives.
* Quest Watcher heading now always visible (even if not watching any quests).
* Added option to hide quests that are completed by all toons in the team.
* Jamba Quest Watcher Is now in its own module so it can be disabled by those that do not use it.

Trade (New Module)

* See other toons bags when trading - able to click on items to load into trade window or choose a classification of item to load into trade window.
* Two slash commands /jamba-trade loadname and loadtype - see help in addon for details.
* Option to automatically deposit / withdraw money from guild bank. After visiting the guild bank a toon will be left with X amount of money. The option will deposit money if the toon has greater than X, otherwise it will withdraw money to top the toon up to X.
* Added new category to trade class drop-down called "!Quality" - allowing to select all grays (trash) to load.
* Added a option on the trade window called "Ignore Soulbound", if set will ignore soulbound items when loading.
* Fixed bug where gold amount to be left on toon after visiting guild bank was not pushed with the settings.

Toon: Warnings (PVP)

* AFK warning removed and replaced with InActive buff warning (you can actually turn this one off). Can some please test this works - I don't PVP.

Core: Settings

* Settings are no longer tied to the Blizzard Addon area and are now in their own window. The window can be shifted around, and is a lot larger than the previous area. Each Jamba module now has its own help section (which still needs to be populated with helpful information, but at least has the slash commands for each module listed).

Follow

* New slash command: /jamba-follow train <tag> Type "/jamba-follow train all" to have your toons follow one after the other. The follow order is decided by the order your toons are in the Core: Team list.

Tag

* /jamba-tag add and /jamba-tag remove slash commands have been changed. They are now:
* /jamba-tag add <name|existing-tag> <tag>
* /jamba-tag remove <name|existing-tag> <tag>
* Class based tags are now automatically applied to a toon. These tags cannot be removed or the tag added to a toon that is not that class.

Proc

* Window location for the proc header bar now gets pushed with the other settings.

I am going to download and install the updated add-on now. The biggest issue I've been having is my "c" account for some reason isn't showing up on my "watch list" while questing. I've pushed settings but it still has issue. Hoping this update might fix whatever is messing with it. Will post once I fool around with it.

Make sure you c account is watching the quests. You might need to turn auto watch quest on in the Blizzard settings.
