Innerspace Windowsnapper, Repeater, and a little extra sumptin sumptin

I've been working on getting the ISboxertoolkit going with my team on and off the last few weeks and I have to say once I got familiar with the software, it is VERY nice. Like it hand and foot over my previous solution. Key's are more flexable, keymaps are more flexable(roundrobin on a keymap? yea nice ), modifier keys are very reliable, and it even has a very flexible mouse passing setup that I'm just starting to use and love since my previous solution couldnt do that really. Of course the instant pip swapping is the main reason i tried it to begin with but so many other great things thus far, deffinately worth the effort of messing with. Just wanted to give it a thumbs up because if your like me changing your passing software is a huge pita, setting up your screen layouts, keymaps, .inf's and what not is a time sink no matter how easy to use the software is.



Oh one last thing, Lax is/has been very helpful almost anytime I've ran into an issue on his IRC chat or whatever it is.

My current team has 5 druids: tank, healer, 3x BooM. I have been using Keyclone for long time, but really wanted try out ClickBoxer to make healing easier. So, yesterday i bought IS (free trial is for wimps!) and spend all evening and night setting it up. First i tried to learn how to configure everything myself, but since it was too much work i installed ISBoxerToolkit. It was fairly easy to use and i got everything working pretty much as i wanted: basic keymaps, targetable aoe spells for DPS group, etc. ClickBoxer made me scratch my head for a while until i realized all modifier and numpad keys need to be written in CAPITAL letters. ^^ Now It's faster and easier to heal my party since i don't need to remember appropriate keybindings for each toon.

Setting up IS can be quite a hazzle. I still have much to learn, but even at it's current condition my setup is stronger than what Keyclone could provide.

They don't need to be in capital letters, that's interesting that it didn't work for you until you tried it like that -- maybe you typo'd or something? :) ISBoxer Toolkit doesn't put them in caps ;)

For healing one thing you (or others) might also like to try is special unit frames, such as in OpenRDX, that allow you to click to cast. I do this on my shamans, and then I have a mapped key using Send Next Click so if I'm not on the resto shaman, I can just hit ALT+H and then click on the unit frames to pass the click to the resto shaman and heal whoever needs the heal. But yeah, a lot of people like ClickBoxer for the same basic reason, and either way works great.

Setting up IS can indeed be a hassle if you're not into the technical side, which is exactly what ISBoxer Toolkit is for! :thumbup:

Must have something to do with the language settings ppl use. I have Finnish keyboard active on my Vista and when i look at XML-file Toolkit wrote it has "CTRL+NUM 1". First i couldn't believe it was because of that since other binds and commands don't seem to be case sensitive, but i tried it couple times and it only accepted binds if i wrote them in capital letters. Also,for example "right ctrl" is translated to "OIKEA CTRL" (oikea==right in finnish) so if i was to change my keyboard language, those keybinds would stop working.

ISBoxer early review.

Thanks to a bit of setup help from Lax, I'm using ISBoxer on my new machine (laptop).

Works great.

I would recommend, however, that you consider a sort of "standard" and "advanced" interface if you want to appeal to the masses. Something that defaults nearly everything. User simply states how many toons they want to box and the screen layout, repeater settings, etc all default.

I know I struggled with some of the options around mapping characters to character sets, characters to window regions, etc. Figured most of it out, but I'm at least semi-technical.

Otherwise, I love it and will switch to ISBoxer from Zan's setup as its pretty much ezmode.

Next step for me will be testing using 2 machines.

As I state repeatedly, great solution and truly differentiating due to the window swapping speed. Not sure I could go back to any tool that doesn't offer such a feature. Changed the way I play the game.

I have a new walkthrough video up showing how to use ISBoxer Toolkit for anyone who needed help with it, or whoever else just wants to see how it works -- see Part 1 and Part 2. Note that this is a general overview video, so I didn't go into detail on FTL Modifiers -- I'll do that in another video showing that and other WoW-specific configuration (videos for EQ1, EQ2, LOTRO configuration should also be coming).

I have used IS now for almost a month now and its the best multiboxing tool i have used so far.

But I have a small problem, I'm using Zanthors setup and have modified it a bit. The problem is i cant add the Space button to the whitelist. When I only have key broadcasting on and press Space all the other clients also press Space. But when I activate the white list it wont work.

Added this line in the reapeter lists.xml

<Setting Name="space" />

So I can see from your Lavish account (same name, I assume it's you anyway) that you're probably not using a US English keyboard, and therefore the most likely scenario is that the key is not called "space" in your Keyboard's native language (Swedish I assume). Try BLANKSTEG instead of space :)

And to be honest I would recommend to everyone to switch to using ISBoxer Toolkit now instead of Zanthor's setup, unless you are using multiple PCs. It's far easier to configure and will avoid any problems like this one (you would be picking the keys from a list in the native language)

Thanks for the videos, Lax. I just switched over to ISBoxer this week to get EQ2 working. I stumbled blindly through a rough setup and this should help me refine things a bit. Can't wait for an EQ2 specific one, though. :)

FYI to anyone curious, I just installed 2 - 32GB SSD's in raid 0 and installed wow onto that array.

i didn't notice as much of a performance gain until I also moved innerspace to that drive as well. when I did this I saw roughly a 5-6 FPS increase on all clients
