Setting up a new UI with isboxer

[crisdan]

So earlier this year I tried a couple different UI's. I used mouse broadcasting to try and get certain things lined up. To say the least I threw in the towel after the third UI.

So my question is does anyone have any tips or advice on setting up a new UI? I use jamba, recount, MIKscrollincombatext, deadlyboss mods, and gnomesequencer. I was just wondering if anyone else has a good method they used to set up a new ui. I remember the older versions of isboxer you could just long on a single toon and setup the UI and then log your team in and they would all have the same settings then. I am guessing the virtual directories to separate each toon prevent this now.

I _think_ all that is in chat-cache.txt and layout-local.txt for the WoW UI elements. Addons will save their own sometimes and you'll have to find the one for that individually. There's no easy-street, cut&paste AFK way to do it.

ISBoxer has never assisted with any sort of UI setup, and since I just recently answered this on the ISBoxer forum, here's a copy and paste reply:

Everything is shared if you copy the right files:

It's usually easier to just turn on mouse repeater and do it that way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpcysF0zQzk), though.

Thanks for your list of articles. I will try that out. Back in 2002 days it was not an issue with isboxer as you shared a single wow copy settings :)

Oh and by the way. I am using the vertical mount PCIE slotted case now mirai :P Love it.

1) World of Warcraft came out November 2004 >_>
2) ISBoxer wasn't around back then (but Inner Space may have been)
3) It's always been an issue because add-on settings can be saved either per-account or per-character, and are never shared between different accounts -- The WTF directory structure has not changed in 10 years.

It really is a sexy case. ;)

I am thinking of SOE and the multiboxing I did with innerspace, showeq, and wineq for EQ and scars of vellious days. Scarey thing was I remember starting my first toon in eq in 1999 when my friend got me off diablo to everquest.
