Development is on hold, except for bug fixing. Release: http://multiboxtools.dyndns.info/multiboxtools/publish.htm
Currently having issues with my server.
DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible if any macro or keybind settings are lost with the use of this program, This is a learning project for me, I cant predict bugs. This is hosted on my home-server, so it is possible that it might be offline at times, however the program works fine offline. The program looks for updates from my server when you load it, this is the only interaction with the internet that this program uses. It does not store any personal information except for the data you enter into it, e.g WoW directory, account name, charectername. If the source code is needed i will post it.
Hey, im a student learning VB.net at college - I multibox 5 charecters, so i decided to put the stuff ive learnt so far at college to the test. Ive been working on a program that creates keybinds and macros for my charecters without me having to go in each of them and add it manually. It writes straight to the macros-cache.txt and bindings-cache.wtf files, my problem is, im not that great at the designing part at the moment. Here is a look at my program:

This is the first window that shows up, this is where you enter how many charecters you want to configure macros / keybinds for. All of these settings are saved and you dont have to enter them again, unless you decide to edit differnt charecters.

Then this window appears, here depending on how many charecters you chose, is where you enter the details such as WoW directory locations, account names, charecter names and your realm name. After your finished with this, a window appears asking what you would like to do, use the macro creater or the keybind creater.

(ignore the text on the icons, thats just where i foolishly decided to get them from my macro menu)
This is the macro form, it allows you to enter a macro into the textbox, choose a icon and then check what charecters you want that macro to be sent to, and it will add the macro to the selected charecters. The name of the macro is also stored in the settings, this is because the keybinds menu uses it - but we will get into that later. I have made two built-in macros so far, thats the invite and follow macros - If you click invite then it will make the macro in the text box into a macro that invites all your charecters, and if you wish you can add /ffa (free for all) by clicking a button that adds / removes it for you. The follow macro will show 5 macro boxes (or less depending on how many charecters you selected), it will automatically make macros to follow and promote each of the charecters, each of these macros are then sent to each charecter. Thats 25 macros created with a flick of a button ;) You can change the icon, but at the moment the amount of icons ive included is very small.

Then theres the keybind creater, this is incredibily simple:
http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/3554/keybindsmenugl3.jpg
You select what you want to bind, Spell , Macro, Item - enter the name of it e.g fireball, type the key you want to bind it to, select the modifyers and then check what charecters you want it added to. Any macro names that you have made in the macro creater are saved so they can be bound with ease, they show in a listbox when you select to bind a macro. You can simply doubleclick on a macro in the listbox and it will add its name to the name textbox.
Upcoming Features:
Profile saving features More icons Ability to add key to key textbox by pressing the key Cast Sequence Maker More indepth macro creater ( [target=targettarget, harm] ) ect.. Backup Features - Backup your interface and WTF folders and restore them if requested.Added:
Ability to save the settings to a file Ability to open the settings from the file - This allows you to have multiple, boxing setups and use them without having to mess with the settings
Known Issues
After any update, saved settings are deleted Some of the icons have writing on them Throws error message if you enter a setting wrong, such as account name. Macros are getting created twice
TroubleShooting:
Could not find a part of the path
This means that you have entered either the wrong account name, charecter name or realm name. Click Quit and run the program again, ensuring that the entered details are correct.
Error #001
The config file is corrupted or isnt something intended for my program. If the config file is one that you have created in my program and this message still shows then its a bug, please report it to me.
