FTL and Key Maps 5.2 troubles

Greetings:
I know /follow doesn't work in battlegrounds, this post is only about PvE stuff.

After the last patch, Jamba FTL seems to be broken. Thus my assist and following functions are broken. I stumbled my way through getting the manual macros working, so my toons are all assisting the main as well as following him. Jamba hasn't been updated since the patch.

I've also added some command to my Key Maps, such as Shift Z to open all my bags, and B to open character screen, which gets broadcasted to all my toons. After a while (say 5 minutes of playing), these buttons stop working. It seems like they get repeatedly pressed at the moment they fail, I.E. I see the bags flash, go away, flash, etc. incredibly fast. The keys then no longer work. Not only that, but when I disable Key Maps, the keys start working again! I re-enable Key Maps, and they stop working. It appears the default keys keep working, such as 1, 2, etc.

Anyone see anything like this? Or have some way of getting the FTL working again?

Re: FTL and Key Maps 5.2 troubles

I have no experience with Jamba Addon's FTL system, you might want to contact Jafula about that, he frequents dual-boxing.com.

For the most part, ISBoxer users don't need Jamba (useful, yes.. required, no) and definitely don't need to go through the trouble of setting up FTL through Jamba. ISBoxer builds FTL Assist and FTL Follow right in to your configuration, just from having used the Quick Setup Wizard. The only thing most people had to do is make the ISBoxer Addon load, as it is currently "Out of date", pending the release of ISBoxer 41 (which is currently in Beta)

As far as your Key Maps working and not working, it might help to see your configuration. See the sticky at the top of the forums titled "HOWTO share your configuration for better support" for details

Re: FTL and Key Maps 5.2 troubles

Thanks for the reply lax.

I verifed my out of date addons are loading. I deleted the key maps I had previously added (and have been using for several months) and used the wizard to recreate them, and they seem to be functioning reliably now.

My FTL still seems to be broken. When I try to issued a follow command from my 'f' key, I get the red text message "You have no Target." in the slave character windows. If I manually target my master character and press the 'f' key, they follow him.

Also when I try to do a dps command that uses the action "Key Map" - General; "Mapped Key" - FTL Assist Me; I get the red text message "Unknown Unit." in the slave character windows.

I tried using the paste website to copy my profile, but got error 500. So I pasted the text into a text file and placed it at the location below:
https://www.transferbigfiles.com/b01127 ... YWFARi1mA2
Also, the team I've been workign with is 'GarinhamTeam1', and the also launched 'GarinhamTeam2' & 'GarinhamTeam3'. I'll try another team and see if I have the same problems.

I'll also try disabling Jamba, incase that is interfering with the FTL somehow, but the rest of Jamba seemed to be functioning correctly, such as the team invite and quest accepting and completing.

Re: FTL and Key Maps 5.2 troubles

After today's patch, the assist function is working again. The follow function still is not.

What I've done to get around it is change the "/follow {FTL}" macro to "/follow CharacterName". That macro is under the Game Helpers, World of Warcraft, Macro Sets, Quick Setup 38. If you want to keep a copy of the macro sets, just right click on it and make copy, and stick the word 'original ' in front of it or something. Then if you want to change it back, you can see what is in your copy. This doesn't give you FTL functionality completely, but at least you can grind out the quests with your main and his followers. Isle of Thunder needs opening, so more questers the merrier!

If you leave the macro alone, you can manually target one of the characters, have them all assist, then press your follow key.

If anyone comes up with a work around or a fix, leme know.

Re: FTL and Key Maps 5.2 troubles

The reason "FTL Follow Me" isn't working in your configuration is you've disabled "World of Warcraft: Add FTL Modifiers to Keystrokes" in your "FTL Follow Me" Mapped Key. This is found in the Advanced page for the Mapped Key.

If you have further troubles, you can reset your configuration to a known-good state by .... clearing it (File, Clear) and running the Quick Setup Wizard again.

The FTL Modifiers to Keystrokes did the trick! Thanks!
