ISBoxer: Multi-Mode FTL Targeting.

[ZorbaTheGeek]

If you're using ISBoxer why not just add an extra line to your "FTL Follow Me" macro so it reads:

/follow {FTL}
/follow [@focus, exists, help]

and add a second action to window current:

/follow [@focus, exists, help]

you could even make the window-current action:

/follow [@focus, exists, help]; [@target, exists, help]

I've not tested it, but I believe the first should follow a helpful focus or fallback to FTL if it does not exist. In fact, should only your current leader toon have a set focus to follow, the slaves would just tag along behind the leader anyway. The second should follow a helpful target if focus does not exist.

Of course, if you don't intend to make the whole party follow someone else then the added action for window current would be unnecessary.

I'll be testing this later this evening (usually quad box with my wife playing 5th party member) as I can find use for getting everyone following another player while I go fetch a beer. =D

[EDIT: Tested, working]

So Zorba, are you actually putting your castsequence macro's in ISBoxer? If so, I really need to convert this over before 4.0.3 hits, since it's so much easier to manage macros inside ISBoxer. I just never really thought about having the whole castsequence in there.

I am, or at least gradually making the conversion. Over the last few days I've started using ISBoxer to run my solo toons too. Using the virtual config files for superwide resolutions and high detail settings combined with still having access two-step dps keys is great. Now my solo, dual box, and quad boxing is all done from a single installation and when I, eventually, move all the macros into ISB too I'll not even need hotbars on the screen beyond a few utility clickies.

The only thing holding me back from completing the complete migration into ISBoxer is the delivery of my Razer Naga, and the changes to controls I will be making once it arrives.

Right on - I'm still in the process of perfecting my setup prior to Cata launch, as I plan on multi-boxing to 85. I currently don't use my main for anything but raiding, and have been very hesitant to change anything, as I have specific assignments for a few key fights and really don't want to mess up the current UI that I'm very familiar with. However, my main is geared to the teeth, and could be a big help with boosting. So, if I can keep all the multi-boxing changes packaged inside ISBoxer and not affect my main UI that would be amazing, and I'm pretty sure I can do that with keeping all the macro's and such inside ISBoxer itself.

I've been kinda thinking about tinkering around with it for a bit, but just haven't had the time. Your post basically just gave me the motivation to get it done now. Thanks mang!
