View Full Version : [WoW] ISBoxer macro config issue?

Hi,

I just started multiboxing and am using ISBoxer and Jamba.
I'm trying to have the key combination CTRL+& making me mount all my toons but am getting frustrated with this.

I've been at it for a few hours now and actually got it to work like three times, but when I then create a new macro the first one
stops working for some reason.

All my toons are in team1, my key maps are under "general" and my macros in "quick setup 38".
I made a new macro in "game helpers\world of warcraft" called "mountall", command is "/cast Swift Purple wind Rider" and
key combination is "CTRL+ALT+&".

Then I made a new keymap named "Mountall" under "general\mapped keys", hotkey is "CTRL+&", target is "Window:All w / Current", macro is "Mountall in quick setup 38 wow macro set"'.

When I press either of the key combinations, nothing happens. Well, that is to say, the keymap (FTL DPS 1) is executed, but not the action I mapped to CTRL+ALT+& or CTRL+&.

I saved the profile in ISBoxer, exported to Innerspace en reload the ui. I closed down all wow instances, exited Innerspace and loaded up again, still nothing.
I see no difference in the "/dance" actions which are set default in ISBoxer and my mountall button except for the assigned keys but I tried usinf different keys and combinations.

The weird thing is that it has worked several times already using the same key combination. Then when I add another macro and mapping it seems to lose the settings somehow, allthough the ISBoxer config is still there.

Either I must be doing something very wrong or there something wrong with ISBoxer/Innerspace.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thx,

Just something I noticed; seems strange to me; might be nothing, but & on my keyboard (US) lives on the 7 key; so to get CTRL+ALT+& you would also have to hold down SHIFT as well as CTRL+ALT as you press the 7 key.

Perhaps try it on F6 without any modifiers and see if it works?

I don't have ISBoxer in front of me, but I think you need two keys, one to activate it and one to bind the macro to in WoW, these don't necessarily have to be the same.

Maybe that helps somewhat?

Well, I tried with some other keys to but had the same problem.
I just removed innerspace, reinstalled it and started out again and so far that seems to do the trick.

Created some new macros and mappings and they all seem to be working :)

Thx for the tip though!

Apparently I spoke too soon...

The mapping stopped working again, I made some more mapping and macro and mapped them to other keys which
still work, but whenever mapping something to the top row number keys if only functions for a while and then stops.

I got a Belgian keyboard layout so 1234567890 is &é"'(§è!çà without pressing Shift.
I removed the keyboard binding in WoW for that key (without modifiers) and did the same in ISBoxer (FTP DPS1).
Still no luck...

I changed the keymap and hotkey for that macro to CTRL+ALT+F6 and CTRL+F6 and then it's working again so I just can't
seem to use &é"'(§è!çà for mappings.

One thing you might be running into without realizing, if you have more than one keyboard language installed in Windows, Shift+Alt (by default) switches between them on a per-application basis and may cause ISBoxer to output a macro using 1 instead of &, and WoW might expect to see the &.

Ok, this is fixed now.
Using completely different combinations for the macros but kept the CTRL+top rows keys as hotkeys.

Remind me to name my firstborn after both of you.
