ISBoxer and EQ1 questions

So I just messed around with ISBoxer a little bit this morning. I know it is powerful but in order to ease into it I was thinking of running ISBoxer more like Keyclone and use blacklists and such until I get more comfortable with the game. I have not played since 04 and it is tough learning it all again. My basic plan is to setup /follow and /assist macros for now and then use blacklists to stop me from doing things like everyone auto running or everyone talking in OCC by accident.

So I have a few questions I was hoping people could help me with.

How do I turn off Mouse Broadcasting? I know I can turn off all repeating but I just want to shut down the mouse part for now and use keystrokes combined with black lists.

Does ISBoxer come with built in utilities for EQ1 like it does for WoW or do you have to just map all your own hotkeys?

Thanks for your help and any macros you guys want to suggest for EQ1 would be great also.

Thanks again.

under general or control i believe there is a Activate Mouse Repeat - you can put a hotkey there that should enable/disable

Thanks I think that is what confused me I was looking for mouse clone or mouse broadcast I remember seeing mouse repeat but thought that was maybe for auto repeating clicks or something.

In ISBoxer itself:

Help menu -> Quick Start -> Takes you to a webpage with a link to this EQ guide

This guide, however, will not help you with black/whitelists and is meant to get you started with how ISBoxer
is supposed to work. Although, I realize a lot of people tend to keep their black/whitelist mentality coming to
ISBoxer from other programs I can only urge you to start fresh w/o them as difficult as it may be. :)

I just DLd ISBoxer to my work system, hey I can test software just not games, and did the quick wizard. I did not do that before and noticed how robust the wizard is.

I was hardcore keyclone for soooo many years it is tough for me to jump right into key maps and such. I played wow using the in game macros, my N52Te, and Keyclone and was pretty happy with it. Since EQ can let you put pauses in the macros they are in a lot of ways more boxer friendly than wow macros are.

I am sure with time though I will learn and use the full power of ISBoxer.

I ran through this guide but I really can't see the power in Hotkeys and such. I guess I have to watch a setup video. To me it seems pretty simply I only broadcast 1 to 0 and Shift. So I have 20 in game hot keys to assist, heal, nuke, follow etc etc.

For instance right now I press one key and my leader invites all my toons and my toons accept and then follow the leader. In a fight the Number 1 key is melee attack for my leader and everyone else is either /assist leader or /target leader in the case of the healer. Then the number two key on my leader is bash and the number two key on my other guys are either nuke or heals.

I watched the WOW setup video and it was cool how things worked right off the bat but there is no built in stuff for EQ. Does someone have an example of what a Hotkey system can do inside EQ as opposed to just using the in game hotbars?

one thing you could try on your tank is.

Open up Isboxer and open the Dps #2 key
click on step 1
copy the action there which should be do keymap or something
paste it under step 1 a couple of times and then remap them to 2, 3, 4,5

This way you have 1 step on your tank pushing all 5 buttons. Some will be on cooldown and some wont it will just keep trying to hit them as they come up.

Yeah I figured the power was in the steps.
