HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[molecake]

No, 1 folder. If you needed multiple folders I would have mentioned that in the HOWTO If you don't have both the IS and ISBoxer updates, you will not be able to launch 2 instances.

Also, can you guys with the sound issues try Inner Space build 5478? It's a development build, just restart Inner Space and patch it up.

Hi Lax, just tried the new patch but still no sound, I have tried both SWTOR and Rift.

This is awesome, thank you so much for your work Lax.

I have one issue and I can't figure how to deal with it. I cannot get swtor to minimize in order to access other windows not with windows key, not alt-tab, no way, I can access the bar but it's like swtor is always on top of the applications.

Thank you for our help.

EDIT: Solved. Found the option on Windows layouts and removed default option.

Hello, I set up this forum account especially because of this thread. I dual boxed before, but "non professional" without ISBoxer. Now I am trying it out because of SWTOR. I managed to get it to work with my two beta accs, except one problem.

The camera view angle turn on the char that is following the main. It doesn´t turn the camera, because the gameplay setting don´t have a intelligent camera blaa like wow does and this won´t let me tab and shoot correctly. When I use WASD to move and click the mouse into the screen it stays with the camera centered, but on follow it doesn´t work.

I´ve read about this problem here at the beginning and somewhere else too. But there wasn´t a help or hint how to make that work another way? Can you explain a noob how to achieve that? I looked at ISBoxer Setting, Wiki and Forum , but as I am new to it, I don´t find any hints.

Anyone can done via Steps Dps? My followers never adquire target (and I change the Target of Target to T)...Can anyone explain step by step how they done it?


Thnaks!!!

I just sent Mercbeast a whisper in hopes he will chime in here. He has leveled a few teams to 50 ( using ISBoxer and two PCs ) I'm curious how he managed his assisting and such.

With that said, let me explain as best i can my experience so far. I have tried many variations of assisting, all of which have been discussed in this thread, and hereis what worked best for me. Bottom line is i found no way to "reliably" press one button and have assist work flawlessly. First let me explain to those who might not know, how it all works in this game.

There are no macros. There is no keybind or command for assist. No assist focus or assist party member such and such. ( there is also no target forwarding ..ie lord of the rings online ) There is 'acquire target of target" and "target party member 1-5". It takes 3 button presses to get this done. Without macros, a solo player might not ever use these features.

If you keymap "acquire target of target" into your DPS it will cycle through targets of targets. so you target your main..hes targeting the mobs.. the mobs targeting your main.. or his/your companion, rinse and repeat. It only pauses to stay on the mains target during a cast. So fast spamming gets spells to fire off, but not 100% reliably.

i finally ended up keybinding 'target party member " to my "E" key ( i use mouse tilt to strafe ) and kept "acquire target of target" in the dps keymap. So every time i switched targets, I would hit the E key then start dpsing. It was the most reliable way for me. Still not perfect due to target cycling that happens. The only 100% method would be to key bind the two commands and hit E>R>DPS for example.. its a pain but it works.

So if anyone has anything better, post it here! I'm anxious to hear what you all came up with.

Like I stated previously, my way works 100% of the time with just one key.
I spam that key and it does it all perfectly. I cannot see atm another way of doing it without passing through selection of the main character first but the switch is perfect and so is the assist.

Hi Lax, just tried the new patch but still no sound, I have tried both SWTOR and Rift.

At least one person confirmed for me that Inner Space build 5483 (new dev build as of now) solved the no sound issue for them.

If anyone is still having the no sound issue, try build 5483

It does not work for me.. i tried it. Can you post exactly how you have your keymaps.. or screenshot them. I'm not doubting you, I'm just looking for clarification. I must be entering in a wrong command or something.

When i saw you post this>>

UPDATE ON DPS:

DPS

I had an extremely limited time to try it out but it worked 100% of the time:

I merged the first two steps in one:

1) target main + acquire target target
2) dps

If someone is willing to try please give feedback but it worked just fine, it kept the good target and dpsed accordingly.

TY,
A.

EDIT: So i went back deleted and remade the keymaps. just like you.. and guess what?...IT WORKS!.. I'm not sure what i did wrong the first time i tried it.. but it is working now. I spent 6 runs in BT with two teams doing it the hard way because it did not work ( or i chose a wrong keymap action or something ) GAH!
