Jamba-Core is the heart of Jamba.
Here you can configure your group (the team tab) and set up how your characters will communicate with each other (the tag, chat and warning tabs).
Multi-Boxing & Jamba - Masters & Slaves
Multi-boxing usually involves one character leading the charge and other characters following the leader. Multi-boxers configure their own character setup in a variety of ways. There is no one right way to do this. Jamba is designed to be flexible enough to accomodate this variety.
Jamba calls the leader character the "master". All the other characters are the "slaves".
Jamba does not insist you have a main character that you must always play as the lead (master). Jamba allows you to change which character the master is in several ways. See the section below The Master Character - Switching Masters for more information. Before you do that, you should configure your group.
The Team Tab - Configuring Your Group
First of all, let's configure your group. This procedure has its own section. Go and configure your group and come back if you want to know more.
Configuring your group covered all of the Team tab apart from three options. These options are described below, but first let's see how we can change which character is the master character.
The Master Character - Switching Masters
You may be multi-boxing in an instance, and your master character dies. This can be the cause of a wipe because your "brain" character has died. You may be playing PVP with your characters and your lead character dies. You need to change leads to be effective. Multi-boxers have employed a number of methods to be able to switch lead characters around and Jamba assists where possible.
The Team Tab - Master Changes
Set Focus To Master When Changing Master
Note: This option is PVE only and you should use it only if you do not frequently change masters.
Jamba cannot automatically change your characters focus for you. But what it can do, is update an internal macro that sets focus; /focus Toonname. If you select this option, when the master changes, Jamba will update this internal macro to /focus the-new-master. To access this macro, you must bind a key (in the wow key bindings under the Jamba heading) to Set Focus. Please note that Jamba cannot update this macro if you change masters while in combat.
Set Target To Master When Changing Master
Note: This option is PVE only and you should use it only if you do not frequently change masters.
Jamba cannot automatically change your characters target for you. But what it can do, is update an internal macro that targets the master; /target Toonname. If you select this option, when the master changes, Jamba will update this internal macro to /target the-new-master. To access this macro, you must bind a key (in the wow key bindings under the Jamba heading) to Set Master As Target. Please note that Jamba cannot update this macro if you change masters while in combat.
On Focus Change Set Focus To Master
Jamba-Comms Chat and Warnings
In order for your characters to talk in the guild officers channel, they must be guild officers. If you attempt to use the guild officers channel you will get a permission denied message everytime Jamba sends a message.
