isboxer problems

Ok slowly getting it but now heres the problem. At then end i will paste config. You know when you focus a character you get a focus portrait below your grp. Well on my teams whenever i switch i dont get that portrait. So sometimes they fire the target im on and most times they dont. Next thing when i do get a focus portrait its of one char obv. but when i switch to another character its still on the old character and wont swtich. Like stated imma post my config any and all help is needed i even used the set up wizard and got same problem.

Ok, the problem as I see it is that you aren't using FOCUS for your targeting, you are using FTL according to your configuration.

The most common problem at this point is that you have keybinds that conflict with your FTL modifiers in game.

Make sure Shift 1-= is not bound.
Make sure Ctrl 1-= is not bound.
Make sure Alt 1-= is not bound.
Make sure Ctrl+Shift 1-= is not bound.

Once you've done that it should all start working.

The BEST way to ensure these combo's are not bound is to open your keybindings in game, find a key thats NOT bound, and bind it to each combination 1-=. Once you've done all combo's of each key you unbind that key and click OK. This ensures that all FTL keys are not bound and you won't have any problems!

Actually since he used the wizard, it doesn't matter if Ctrl 1-=, etc are bound. The FTL modifiers are only applied to the 3 specific keys -- follow, assist, and target. With the method used by the wizard, you CAN have Alt+1 broadcast Alt+1 (etc) with FTL auto-assist, and it will work just fine

Instead, what I would assume is that the wrong character is logged into the wrong window, so ISBoxer is incorrectly assuming which one is the current character. If all of your accounts arent merged into the same battle.net account, you can just fill in the account names per Character -- the wizard does this for you, but it would appear that your ISBoxer characters were not generated by the wizard.

If they are merged into the same battle.net account, you will need to make sure you're logging into the right character in the right slot (because support for this directly in ISBoxer has not been added yet, since battle.net accounts with multiple sub-accounts has an additional field required). There's a number of ways you can do this.
1. The name of the character is always shown in the taskbar buttons and window titles. On Vista or later, if you hold down alt, and hit tab multiple times, you can see the names of the windows in the alt+tab preview window thing...
2. When you log into the game, the first thing ISBoxer does is say which character it thinks it is, in the chat window. Look for it -- if it doesn't match the one you're playing, then that's going to be a problem
3. When each window first comes up, it says which character it should be, with popup text
4. Each time you Export, it says in each window which character it should be, with popup text

I'll be working on improving this more, since this still comes up even with ISBoxer setting up account names in config.wtf for you (particularly in cases like this one where either the names are not filled in in ISBoxer, or they would all be the same battle.net account anyway)

I pushed a minor update to ISBoxer as of now, that adds support for handling merged Battle.net accounts.

Code:

---

Build #33 Minor Update #3 - 2009-08-27
    * Character page now includes an optional Sub-Account name field. This is currently only used for World of Warcraft, specifically for accounts that have been merged into a Battle.net account
    * World of Warcraft
          o Quick Setup Wizard now includes a Battle.net account page
          o Config.WTF is now checked for correct stored Battle.net and Sub-Account names where possible.

---

So in other words, if you use a battle.net account (or even multiple battle.net accounts) with merged WoW accounts, you have a couple options:
1. the quick setup wizard will let you fill in the battle.net account name separately
2. the battle.net account can be filled in as the "Account name" per Character, with the merged wow account filled in as the "Sub-Account name"

Then when you export, if Config.WTF is virtualized, ISBoxer will put in the right information as needed.

That is awesome!

So what your saying lax is that since i use obv. battlenet for all 5 accounts it will work correctly now. I also share a bettlenet account for two accounts will that cause a problem or no. What i mean by this is that two accounts have the same email so when i log on them a pop up comes and makes me click the account i want to be on. Also one more thing is how come the focus portrait icons are not showing up when i switch characters. Although sometimes it will but it wont change when i switch screens. Say im on main and main is focus potrait under the group portraits and i click on slave 2 main is still the focus its not switching to show that slave 2 is now focus. This is what im thinking is causing every now and then that the rest of the toons wont start casting since they are not getting that slaves target.

Like Zanthor said, your ISBoxer configuration is not set up to set Focus Target. It is using FTL, which identifies the main character in a different way. If you have Jamba configured to set the Focus when the Master changes, then that makes Jamba responsible for setting Focus to the Master. Your ISBoxer configuration is not changing focus at all.

If the auto-assist/etc is not working, it's most likely because of what I was trying to explain: you're logging into the wrong characters in the wrong windows. So, for example, when you're in Window 1, ISBoxer might think it's the character you have in Window 2. ISBoxer can detect and correct that when you Export to Inner Space, if and only if the account information is entered in ISBoxer. Otherwise, it is up to you. In your case, the account information is NOT entered in ISBoxer, so ISBoxer is not verifying that you're playing the right character in the right window (because it can't).

What I recommend you do is restart ISBoxer, you should get the ISBoxer Build 33 Minor Update #3 update notice. Update to it. Then CLEAR your ISBoxer profile (File, Clear), and use the Quick Setup Wizard again. Using multiple battle.net accounts is not a problem. You can make sure that the battle.net account is correct for each character during the wizard, and even afterward by checking each individual character in ISBoxer. As you are clicking to add each character using the wizard, you can fix the battle.net account field so that it's the right one for that character.

Alright thanks man. Ill check it out this weekend when i get some time off. Love the product just wasnt ready for so much work lol. But meh with great products come lots of setup work. So i just noticed something tho. When im running my dk 3 ele shammies and resto i an use mouse broadcasting to click on my screen where my restos heals would be instead of having to worry about key bindings. Imma try it later on to see if it works better then having all the keybindings. Thanks again for the help ill be looking at it more this weekend to get round robin features and other stuff set for my 5 man lock pvp team.

Ty so much lax they all follow and cast now no matter who i am on one other thing. When i load tookit and export to innnerspace it says foreground max fps and background max fps not configured right and then the whole isboxer is configured to use this for account name. When i log off i will post a ss maybe you can help me figure why this is happening. Once again thanx a bunch imma start working on keymaps and all. Next is your round robin video.

That warning is basically a Quality Control check of you virtual Config.wtf file. Go ahead and let Isboxer make the changes.
