Including modifiers in Key-Maps does not work

[Filon]

Hi,

so I just reached lvl 40 with my shaman team and im starting to have to many skills to put them all on seperate keys.... so now i need to include modifiers to my macros.

but that is pretty tricky with isboxer (for me, i assume im doing something wrong ;) ).

here is what i did:

mouse button 4 is my dps key. it starts a key-map, that sends a 7 to all windows, and 7 is bound to my lb-macro. now i want to cast cl when i hit a modifier + mouse button 4.

the macro looks like this:

#showtooltip
/assist focus
/cast [mod] Cain-Lightning; Lightning-Bold

so i made a new key-map. its hotkey is "strg + mouse button 4", and it should send a "strg + 7" to all my windows...
but that does not work....

i even tryed stuff like this: i made a seperate CL-macro and put it on 2 in wow. then i created a key-map with the hotkey "strg + mouse button 4" and it was supposed to send a "2" to all my windows... still did not work.

on the other hand, im using a key-map that makes my toons jump. its hotkey is "strg + space" and it sends "space" to all my toons. this just works fine...

why cant i work with modifiers in my macros? what am i doing wrong? (its not the mouse button 4.... i used different keys instead of it, with the same results...)


please help"

I'm not sure if you can send modifiers with a mouse button on a keymap.
I know you can with a repeater region.

I do macro's with mods in them do work in ISBoxer.
I have a Keymap which sends 1 (output) to all windows when I press 1 (hotkey).
And another Keymap which sends Alt 1 (output) to all windows when I press Alt 1 (hotkey).
One of my shammies has dual spec, and only adds DPS when I press 1 + Alt.

However until making the second keymap, Alt + 1 did not activate my Keymap.
So nothing happened on any toon at that point.
But two keymaps, one with the mod and one without, on key 1 works great.

i made a new key-map:

hotkey: mousbutton 4 + strg
output: 2 (which is bound to my cl macro)

this works for all my toons, but never for my main.....

i need it to work like this.... mousebutton 4 was always my lb and mod+mousebutton 4 was always my cl....


//Edit:

the following also does not work:

macro bound to "2":
/assist focus
cast [mod] CL; LB

key map1:
hotkey: 2
output: 2 -> all

key map2:
hotkey: strg+2
output: strg+2 -> all


i*m really desperate here...
please anyone help me....

I would need to see your config to help you with that. You can copy it to clipboard from within the software (right click "ISBoxer" at the top and select Copy ISBoxer Toolkit Profile to Clipboard), then you can paste it somewhere like pastebin.com and link to it here. Or e-mail it to me at lax@lavishsoft.com if you prefer

[Filon]

Thank you Lax, its great to have direct support like this!

here is my config like i use it right now, without modifiers: http://pastebin.com/d7f7d67dd

and here is the config how i want it to be: http://pastebin.com/d34e28f0d

Only difference is the CL-Key-Map. (and note, the earthshock key-map with the "3+ctrl" hotkey doesnt work, its in both configs). And like it said before, the cl-key-map from the second config doesnt work either.

thanks
Filon

The next build of ISBoxer does fix a bug related to modifier keys on non-English installs. Please give this build a try -- just install to the same place and use your same configuration, try it with ctrl, and Export it with this build: http://www.lavishsoft.com/downloads/mods/Lavish.ISBoxerSuite.34.pre4.exe (This is a preview release of ISBoxer 34)

[Filon]

thanks for giving me the preview. but it still does not work... i tried a few options:

LB/CL-Macro:
/cast [mod] Chainlightning; Lightningbold

in wow this macro is set to "4"

1. key-map

hotkey: mouse4 + ctrl
output: "4"+ctrl

nothing... did not "klick" the macro in wow... nothing happend, not even the tooltip changed to Chainlightning-tooltip when i presst the hotkey

2. key-map

hotkey: mouse4 + ctrl
output: "5" (i changed in wow: lightningbold set to "4"; chainlightning set to "5")

my toons startet casting, but nothing on my main... same for all toons, when i switched to them as my mains..


I have the german WOW-Client installed.... do you think it could work with the english one?

I havent heard that this would make any difference, but you can try it

[Filon]

I just thought it could be because of the german client, since you worte:

but if you dont think it'll work, i wont switch to the english client.

dont you have any other idea, what i could be doing wrong? i really need thouse modifiers to work....

[Lax]

Well, by that I meant Windows. I haven't heard that there's anything I need to do differently on German (etc) WoW clients for the ISBoxer Addon to have the right modifier names to set bindings in the game. But if you say that ISBoxer 34 didn't fix the problem, I wouldn't rule it out.

[Filon]

I mean its weird.... when i used this setup:

keymap:
hotkey: ctrl + mouse4
output: "4"

and put cainlightning on "4" in wow, all the toons in the in-active windows would start casting, but not my main.

and when i used the following, nothing at all happened:

keymap:
hotkey: ctrl + mouse4
output: ctrl + "4"

and this macro:
cast [mod] chainlightning; lightningbold

is any other german-client user here, who has the same issues?

Do you have the Keymap targeting every window.
It sounds like the target is "All without current window".

At least it is acting that way.

You could try adding an extra action to the step.
Which sends 4 to the current window. See if that does anything.

yea, its "all /w current" and i already tried the extra-step thing, but did not work either....

thanks for your idea though
