Alternatives to FTL?

[delafoo]

Are there any alternatives to the FTL system? I'm about to give up :) I've heard about a hydra or fallthrough method, but can't seem to find specific posts.

Thanks for your responses.

hi, there are some alternatives, it all depends what you need, in term of, should it be 'leaderless', 'targetless' or/and 'focusless' and so on..

Two alternatives are:

Target-and-Hold, Focusless, Leaderless system. ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=129743&highlight=#post129743') (hm, ok, its more a variant of the ftl, so perhaps not the thing you searched for)
Leaderless/Targetless - Focus Based Hydra ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=129200#post129200') (the one i would use, if you want a good, simple solution and you can live without focusless)

After nealy a full week of messing with the FTL system and getting nowhere, the hydra method is TONS easier ;) You Rock!

Jeah, i'm on the one hand am sorry, that i couldn't help you to get the ftl-working (as it still my preffered system), but i also think zanthors system seems to work realy fine and is much simpler in setup (or maybe only supporting issues), so if you found a system which suites your playstyle, i'm perfectly fine with it. Enjoy it and rock the world! :)

I'll be honest, I've got a hybrid system going on right now. I still use /assist focus in my macros, saving space, but also have a method to switch windows easily.

In Keyclone, I have F8-12 set for my PiP's (or whatever it's called) F8 is my main, through f12, my lower right. In WoW, I have 5 keybinds set (I use the upperkeys on the right right sidebar) those keys are set as F8-12 as well. The frist one is:
/target Main
/focus target
Then on down the line so that every toon has an F# cooresponding to their PiP window. When I hit F11, everyone targets and focuses the toon from that window and Keyclone switches them out for me so that everyone is focused on my main window, regardless of which toon it is.

You'll have to update the macros if you swap party members, and for each team, but I haven't run into any macro space issues yet. You can also tune the macro for other things, like a shift modifier or ctrl to heal that toon.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much Olipcs, this works for me where the week I spend trying to get the ftl to work did not. You rock :) tytytytytytytytytytyty ;)
