Characters you also solo play

[Sajuuk]

FTL, isboxer and macaroon work wonders.

I just have my WoW install for my solo play and then have 5 symlinked directories (Clone1-5) that I fire up for boxing efforts. This keeps my solo UI seperate from my boxing UI and means no need to worry about reseting things each time I switch from doing one to the other.

its not as much as ui thing, since i also have separate Uis for my raiding toons. Its the keybindings.

Yeah, I knew I should have worded that differently when I posted. Keybindings were the main part I was getting at as well, but I see them as all part of the UI so I just put UI in my rush.

I just find it so much simpler to keep my boxing and my solo play as seperate as possible and so having one directory for solo and then the symlinks for boxing means I never have an issue with getting them mixed up.

I mapped mine the same way. The new Jamba macros are also great. You can setup your macros in Jamba with keybindings. You just can't drag it to bars.

Care to elaborate on how FTL and isboxer helps? Can macaroon store keybinds as part of profiles?

On a separate note, I might use the Christmas raid break to fix my UI, and most specifically, my keybinds, to work better when swapping between solo and box.

I cheat...

I have 2.6Tb of hdd space in my games computer and I just have a solo instance of wow for when I want to solo (also use it when I just want to boost a second toon with one of my level 80's) and I have another partition on a separate drive where I have my 5 instances of wow for my 5 box team.

The solo instance setup has all the standard bars and buttons while the 5 box instances have a separate UI setup.

However, that doesn't address if you have different keybinds, does it? Those are saved on the server? Or at least the 'standard wow ones' are?

If this is a solution I suppose I could do that as well, either linking it on the SSD or having the "solo" wow on a normal HD.

But you are saying that, for example:
On disk A, I could have a WoW install for account X that keybinds forward to the standard A and arrow up keys
On disk B, I could have another WoW install, which when I log on account X there keybinds forward to 2 completely different keys.

I think I tried this, and turns out most keybinds would be carried through even on 2 completely different machines.

I just bit the bullet and dual specc'd the toons I want to solo play. Completely swaps out bars, etc, and works pretty well for me.

Disclaimer: I'm at work, can't view most sites due to a firewall and haven't tested this.

I did however find an addon called keyprofiler that from the brief description I was looking at seems to suggest that you can save keybindings under different named profiles.

I'll be checking it out myself as I put off multiboxing some of my characters as they are setup for soloing.
