How to switch from normal to PTR on IS using ISBoxer in 40 seconds!
This has some added thoughts about multiboxing and test realms in general since I'm that kind of person. If you want to skip to the how-to and not read this just jump down to the Instruction section.
Rant:
The biggest complaint I have about multiboxing with test realms in WoW is that they don't take in consideration the number of accounts you have associated to a single Battlenet. So, if your wanting to review you rotations on test realms then make sure your on a 1-to-1 ratio for game accounts and Battlenet accounts. Secondly, using that same 1-to-1 you can use the same authenticator key to login simultaneously without having to wait for a new number. Why do I say that Bliz doesn't take into consideration the number of game accounts, well I have 4 associated to one battlenet and one associated to another, each battlenet account is given a total of 4 transfers/premade toons. So, if you had 10 game accounts on one Battlenet you would not even be able to bring over half your army.
Instructions::rolleyes:
This is for those of you who run IS and use ISBoxer! This assumes you have already installed the public test install of WoW in another folder and that you have already transferred toons to the PTR.
Updated Instructions:
1. Startup Inner Space right click on tray icon and choose "Add Game"
2. A window popup with name and game executable values that need to be filled in shows up.
a. Name: WoW PTR
b. Game Executable: <click the ... button next to the window and surf to the install folder>\Wow.exe (do not use Launch.exe)
3. Click Okay and again click Okay
a. Note, if you had ISBoxer running you will need to restart it to pickup the new profile.
4. Choose File > Open then Right-Click the XML file you use normally for the toons you copied over to the test realms and from the menu choose copy
5. In the same window Right-Click white space and select paste, your new file will be called something like "Copy of ISBoxerToolkitProfile.XML"
6. Rename it by Right-Clicking on the name of the file and selecting rename. Note, use something that says this is for testing like "ISBoxerToolkitPublicTest.XML"
7. Select the new file and click Open.
8. Goto your Charaters and for each change the Game Profile to your new PT profile.
9. Save and export (you will want to re-export your standard file for normal MBoxing)
10. Jump in to your normal WoW folder and copy the WTF and Interface folders to the Public Test WoW.
Finished!:D
It took me longer to type this post then to perform all the actions but I hope this helps someone out there who maybe wanting to try out the test realms to perfect any rotations for the next up and coming expansion.
Props:;)
Lax I have to hand it to you, you really have a great product! If I missed something or whatever, let me know, I will update this post.
Not sure if it was Lax or someone else that came up with 40 second setup but props on that too, it wasn't my idea, it's like 6 minute abs.
