DynamicBoxer wow addon for ISBoxer: Dynamic Teams and more...
DynamicBoxer has graduated from alpha/beta now and I will use this thread to keep folks updated (you can also ask questions etc here as well)
Q: What does it do ?
A:
The core concept is to let you start isboxer/innerspace based on a layout (say 5 boxing with slot 2 healer and vfx in 1) once and then change which characters are actually in windows 1... N at will/whim.
It also works for brand new characters (making a new cool 5 Void Elf, team, just do it, no need to go back to windows)
Q: Why is that useful?
A:
Because you save time and only need a handful of core teams and "virtual"/role based characters in isboxer instead of dozens
Q: What else does it do ?
A:
A bunch of small utility things (and I can add more of you ask):
- It syncs up automatically your EMA team, in the order of the slots (no more "can't push settings" ever)
- It (optionally) auto invites your team
- It (optionally) auto converts to raid as needed, making for super fast 6+ team assembly
- Has extensive mouse over tooltips in the addon options and key bindings sections to let you discover the features
- It lets you keep your party/raid frames always in the same order
Q: How big/complicated is the setup?
A:
Turn on broadcasting and 3 keystrokes: Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Enter
do that once, and you're done forever, even if you login 100 different teams!
Q: Does it work cross realm ?
A:
Yes since 1.6 and that makes it a big time saver if you need to visit a lot of realms.
In that setup I recommend you don't change the slot1 but change the other slot(s) and set the auto invite to say slot 2 so everyone phases to slot 2's realm (the changing realm)
Q: I prefer to watch videos than read a wall of text !
A:
That's not a question, but a statement :) You can watch this mini series:

Q: Do you have a demo?
A:
Yes (though it's a bit old, doesn't show the config UI or new commands, etc... and volume is low:)

Q: Is there anything that won't work with it but would work with pure isboxer team reload/change ?
A:
First if you log the original team in, you get the exact same functionality + fast auto invite, auto raid conversion if needed/enabled, auto EMA team sync etc... so it's only additive feature wise, you don't loose anything
But yes, if you have a pro setup and try to swap say a Tank for a Healer in the same slot, DynamicBoxer will still remap the macros but they will be your Tank-style actions and thus not likely to be as helpful to your newly slotted Healer; yet if you you just need a quick swap in/out to collect some item, do a quest or anything of that sort, it will still save time and be functional (assist, broadcast, follow etc...), just don't go and do a Mythic + 20 with that setup :-)
Q: Does it/will it work with Classic ?
A:
Yes ! and it's great to get going even if you don't have characters created yet!
Q: I'm sold (or willing to try it), where do I get it?
A:
Wherever you like get your wow addons usually, typically on curse/twitch app or wow interface (search for "DynamicBoxer" with no space):

multi group support (2x4, 3x5... NxM)
Exciting (I think) new feature in 2.05: Multi group (2x4, 3x5...) support:
with the option to limit invite to a set max party size. eg. 4 so a 8box can be 2x4; if you have 12 and set max to 4 you will have 3 groups of 4 (1-4, 5-8, 9-12) automatically at login,
Configure with /dbox c or /dbox partymax N (make sure to broadcast)
If you are 15 boxing and unset autoRaid, you'll end up with 3 parties of 5, etc...
(works for any party size 2 to 5)
DynamicBoxer v2.06.02: with option to invite/keep party in order!
Per user request, new feature to keep your party in the same order as your slot/windows:
v2.06.02 Adds the option to delay a bit the accept of auto invite in order to have team in slot order.
(you need to set the option on all the windows, not just the lead, also disable auto accept
in other addons like EMA to use this feature; lastly it may not work at login time, if so,
middle click to disband and left click to reinvite, in order)
