How To Configure Your Group

E-mail Print PDF

Open The Configuration Screen On Each Character

Install the Jamba addon for all the characters you will be multi-boxing with.  Bring all your characters online, so that they are all in the game.  Make sure Jamba is loaded on each character by typing

/jamba

into the chat edit box (like you would /s Hello to say Hello to your friends).  The following screen will appear.

jamba-core-team-0.2-thumb

This is Jamba-Core.  As you can see in the screenshot, there are several modules for Jamba.  Jamba-Core is just called Jamba.  You will use this screen to configure your group.

The Jamba interface has four tabs called Team, Tag, Chat and Warnings.  At the moment, we are going to concentrate on the Team tab.  Leave this /jamba interface open on all your characters and make sure the Team tab is selected on each.  You will see that each character has been added to the Team List on its OWN screen.

Add A Master Character On Each Character

Now choose one character to be your "master".  The other characters will be your "slaves".  In this example, I will call my master "Yaswar" and my slaves "Yasprie" and "Yasmage".

On EACH character do the following steps.

  1. Click the Add button. (Make sure you are on the Team tab.)
  2. In the text box that appears, type in the name of your master character.  I type "Yaswar" as she is my master character.
  3. Click the Accept button.
You will see that the character name you just typed in has been added to the Team List AND THAT THE CHECKBOX NEXT TO THEIR NAME HAS BEEN CHECKED.  Do NOT uncheck this box.  This checkbox enables your character to communicate with your other characters.

Remember to do this for EACH character.  So I have added Yaswar to the Team List on Yaswar, Yasprie and Yasmage.  Actually Yaswar was already on the list for Yaswar's screen so I did not have to add Yaswar again.

Add All Your Characters To The Team (On The Master Character)

Now, on the master character only (I only do this on Yaswar's screen), add the names of the slave characters.

On THE MASTER CHARACTER ONLY do the following steps.

  1. Click the Add button. (Make sure you are on the Team tab.)
  2. In the text box that appears, type in the name of one a slave character.  I type "Yasprie" as she is a slave character.
  3. Click the Accept button. (Notice the Team List updates with the character name you just added.)
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 with each the names of each of your slave characters, until all your characters are on the Team List.

Choose The Master Character

At the top of the Team tab, there is a Select Master drop down list.  Choose your master from this drop down list.  In my case I choose Yaswar.

Push Your Team List To The Slave Characters

While still on the master character, scroll down to the bottom of the Team tab and click the Push To Characters button.

Your slave characters will now update their own Team List with the Team List from the master character and they also will have updated their master to be your master character as you selected in the step above.

Congratulations, your group is now configured!

'Player Not Found' Messages

Jamba expects all the characters in your team to be online at the same time.  If this is not the case, you will recieve 'Player Not Found' messages.  To stop these messages, go into the Jamba options Team tab and uncheck the character that is not online.  Push this new setting to your other online characters by using the Push To Characters button.
