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.

Ok thanks didnt know if it was something important or not that i had to really worry about.

Ok got a cpl more basic things in for keymapping like buffs and wand for my mages. Now is there anyway to keep them from auto following while using spread formations. Thats one question. Next is im using the white list so i can pass f and j which are my spread buttons but they are not working like they are supposed to. They work when i do broadcasting but not when its off. I want to be able to keep broadcasting off and still spread them out. Thanks again.

Put F and J into a common keymap such that you press F or J and it presses F or J in which ever window(s) you want. Basically you pass it through unmolested with out having all the keys on.

If you are using Jamba for follow strobe etc, then use the Jamba strobeoff command. All the commands are in the Jamba sticky. What I do is make a round robin with 2 steps. First step turns off follow strobe with a ISboxer macro sent to all windows. Second step is a key combo only (nomacro) that is bound to movement keys of each window to create a simple spread formation.

So I strike it once to turn off, then hold it for a moment on the next press. If they don't move enough I double tap it again. Works good.

Edit: Don't forget, you can make target action groups and filter your keymaps to only go to these groups. I.E Make a group called slaves and drag all your slaves names to it. Then when you make a macro or keybinding you can send it only to those characters. Target action groups are unlimited and you may have as many as you want with no limit of how many groups each character can be in.

when I created my spread formation I added in a step in ISBoxer to turn strobe off. Look at some of the preconfigured macro's to get an idea of how to do that. So in keymaps create an action or macro set the first action to the jamba strobe off slash command then add a second step and make that the strafe.

Also I never use the white or black list just create a passable keymap. Take a look at the dps keymaps and just copy one and change the bindings. So take say DPS keymap 1 make a copy. Change the name and the two binds to what ever you want. Easy donuts.

Ok new thing im setting up groups now before i tweak settings for each just so i have basic functionality. I made my mage grp now i am making my warlock grp. Question i have is that when i goto do the dps buttons and i have already clicked warlock set am i suposed to see the mage dps buttons. I mean i added a cpl for my mages like hearth and drink conjour buffs. Now when i goto my warlock set i still see those not sure if thats supposed to be seen of if i am only supposed to see 1 thru = for dps key maps. Kinda confused why this is happening.

If you want them all to dps from the same key then make your isboxer macro like this

Code:

---


!if (character is in "warlocks") /assist tank
!also /cast shadowbolt
!also /kill more stuff
 
!elseif (character is in "mages") /assist tank
!also /make water now!!
!also /kill stuff

---

At the top tell isboxer to send to all windows and will setup the individual character macros correctly.
It is explained here on the ISboxer wiki.

You basically tell different action target groups to do different things in one "macro". When this configuration gets exported to innerspace it also translates theses "macros" to the WOW addon such that only the mage gets the mage part of the macro and the lock gets the lock part etc. They will all have the same keybind so when you want to dps they will do the correct action/spell.

Hope this helps.

Ok so what your basically saying is that i just have to add different dps/buff macros into the key maps, and it will show for all class combos but will only use for whatever setup i have. What i mean is i want to use alt shift 5 say for conjour drink on my mage but i dont use it on my warlocks and therefore dont want to accidently put something from speelbook on locks and it get used. I mean when i did the set up wizard before i set up two different sets and allowed me to set them up so i wouldnt see on the keymaps for my locks conjour food drink int buff and stuff i use on mage but for some reason now it shows on my keymaps for my locks.

Wow he goes way to fast on the tutorial i was trying to set up my round robin for death coil on my locks so i could do some massive piss off lol. Although i thought i did it right it only casts one and when i click again nothing. I did the new key map named it lock, then on bottom left i clicked new mapped key named it death coil, hotkey was num 1, made 5 steps, hit actions made new keystroke action on each making the hotkey num 1, and selecting for each step char slot 1 for step 1 char slot 2 for step 2 and so on. Then exported success but nothing what am i doing wrong grrr lol.

nvm for some odd reason they dont auto target the dummies once i selected dummies on all of them they would all hit dc one after the other. Now i just gotta do some more and make my mage grp and hopefully they will be seperate from my dps stuff on my locks.

Ok i think im getting this figured out now but need a yes or no for this to actually make me feel better lol. Ok considering i have multiple class setups like i have all mage and all druid an all lock a dk and 4 shammy setup this is my question. I made a new key map and called it locks, so in turn it opened up bottom left hand side with 3 options under locks mapped keys character sets and characters. Under mapped keys i made 15 different sets of mapped keys including round robin keys for fears and banish. Now say if i make my mage setup will these map keys interfere with the mage team or will i be able to just load upo my lock team and have their extra set ups not shared and if i load up my mage set ups will their mapped keys be distinuqueshed and not cross used between the locks. Basically what i am asking is if i make a key map called mages and under that sub title i save every new key map as mage when i goto innerspace and click mage to load my 5 mages i wont have to worry about keys not working and doing a round robin as if i were on my locks.

Also gonna drop one more thing before bed this is aggitating me the spread thing. Ok i made a spread key map 2 steps first step is the strobe off command but i cant seem to find the proper macro to make. Then step 2 i made all thier keybinds to fghj for left right forward and back. Then i did keymap action for each character. The key to hold is num0 so when i hold that they all spread but without step one strobeoff command working to turn off strobe then they comeback to main.

I'm having a hard time following your posts and I'm not sure where you're at now with your issues. As far as mapped keys interfering, if you assign a Key Map to a Character or Character Set, then it is loaded by default when you launch that Character Set. Otherwise, it's not going to have any effect at all unless you have a mapped key set to enable it later.

If you want help with your mappings, including that formation, please share your config, either by a) attach it here, paste it on pastebin.com and link it, or send it to me at lax@lavishsoft.com. You can copy it to clipboard from inside the software, just right click on "ISBoxer" at the top and select "Copy ISBoxer Toolkit Profile to Clipboard".

Ok will do when get home tonight from work but you answered my question about keymaps. I put all warlock specific macros on a key map named lock. Tho i will goto pastebin and do it tonight see if its set right thanks.

Here is my file.

Two more things lax is there a way to block the 1-0 from being used while typing in chat. Also when i try and put my pw in at once for all accounts 4 get an extra letter in the pw which in turn says invalid pw. Say i type just my mains pw in the others auto get one of my pw characters in their pw field.

Okay about the strobing off, you erased the original that the Quick Setup Wizard made, so when either of the macros hit Num Del theyre not doing anything. The command you want is
/jamba-follow strobeoff

Make sure that in both cases, the WoW Macro Action has the command in it. If you have a WoW Macro Action with no command in it, it's going to do just that. Nothing. If you don't want to define the commands in ISBoxer, use a Keystroke Action instead of a WoW Macro Action

Otherwise, what you've got looks ok. I will say that you don't need to add *both* your Character Set and each of the Characters to a Key Map. One or the other will do, they will have the exact same effect. The reason it is allowed to add just Characters is if you want to make a Key Map that only works when you're using a specific Character. For example, if you made 5 copies of your Formations key map, you could make it so no matter which guy you're playing, he never moves but the others all move around him.

Do u member what the original strobe off was so i can fix it back to that.

What I do when entering passwords, make sure KeyMaps is off. It looks like it defaults to off, but I cycle it off anyway. Then turn on Repeator and type away

Ok got my spread formation working i did a 2 step action. First step uses num 0 to turn off strobing and i hit num 0 again it spreads them out. Works all good question is if i added a third step in there using num 0 to set it back to follow would i just put the command in as /follow jamba-master. Or should i make a whole new keymap utilizing num del. I just dont want to have to switch to an alt to get follow again lol.

I have a separate hotkey for jambastrobe on and off I use it. I just change the bind from the default Alt+Shift+F to something easier. I keep it separate due to the fact I hit it all the time. Including it in your formation would work as long as you can control the tendency to spam buttons.

Is there a reason why when i switch characters sometimes and switch back the one i siwtched back to continues to want to follow the last character. Say slave one is following main well i switch to slave 3 they all follow him but when i switch back to main he continues to want to follow slave 3. Also how do i stop getting it to stop promoting a new master gets aggravating when wanting to que as a party.

Depends on what's doing the /promote. Do you have Jamba configured to do that?

You can hit Alt+F to make them follow you (by default from the Quick Setup Wizard), that should fix it if that happens..

Yes to jamba so ill turn that off and ok thanx for key map for the follow. It gets to be a pain while in pvp when your trying to fight things and your guys keep doing circles lol.

Ok new thing for some odd reason pastebin is not working right for me just keeps saying spam. Thing is one of my characters buttons is crossed with the 5 button and space button and i cant locate it. Whenever i hit space to jump and doesnt do that but tries to do whats on button 5 everyother thing works but that. Will keep trying but if ne one might have an idea why that would be happening let me know.

nvm noob moment i went thru all my keybindings and found out my space button was sharing a binding with 5 button on macaroon wow. alram is over wewt.

Still having problems with formations and them not disengaging follow. I tried following the tutorial on youtube but go confused.

Ok this is what i did i made a keymap called formation. Next in the lower left box i named one line they just go in a line behind me. After i said this i did the key stroke action. Step one i made them all f j g h which is my keybindings in game for them to spread. So char 2 is f char 3 is j char 4 is g and char 5 is h. So now it looks like your tutorial with it doing the 2->f and so on. Ok so they spread all fine and dandy but i cant get strobing to turn off. I mean if i go into jamba i can set it like a min before they strobe again. But i rather just turn it off and them stop. I try the alt shift f it says off but they still follow any help would be great and i would send pastebin link but its still being stupid for me.
