HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[Mosg2]

Wow fulcrum, I'll have to give that a try today!

...Once I fix these g'damn driver issues TOR release version has.

<---Very sad panda atm.

This is good info, i was messing around with it earlier today.

Good find.

not sure if this has been stated yet...

I noticed some folks had issues with targetting and attacking. the current information posted so far works, but to me it looks a bit cumbersome. I found this out last night

ALT + F is in the game and sets up a Focus target. Whats not LISTED in the game is an assist Focus. After mashing some buttons last night in ISBoxer and in the game, I found the Ctrl + F is actually the assist Focus built into the game. Not sure if I lost the follow (i dont think i did) part, but didnt really test that out.

So all you do is designate an initial focus on all your subordinate toons, then set up the ISBoxer to use Ctrl + F for the FTLAssist in ISBoxer and yer done =)

hope this helps

Now go back to your company ( Bioware ) And tell them to fix follow! Thx for this tip btw!

I switched to control +f ( assist focus ) and it is far better! love it! Also, the Z for ending the moon walk is great as well. Follow still needs fixed, but this did ease the pain a tad.

I wonder if there are any other useful "hidden" keybinds?!?!

NVM. Think I figured it out.

Ok, I'm not sure how to use the focus for follow purposes. I get it for assisting, but how do you get him to follow your focus target? I can't for the life of me figure it.

If I understand it correctly you can't.

So, Assist always works with focus, but follow is still only by the /follow setup in game and with ISB. Which... as of today, in game "rubber banding" of slaves, still breaks /follow.

These threads have been great. The DXnothing windows are awesome and the region to auto-reengage follow/Z while doing normal activities is great.

I also implemented Cntrl+F for assist though, since I still MB WoW, I made a copy of the initial macros and manually assigned them to the SWTOR group and that works well when my primary character is the focus.

One thing that is annoying is that entering/leaving instances clears the focus off the main player as both don't go in simultaneously and focus seems to clear periodically for no apparent reason causing my background slave player to no longer target. It is a pain to keep reseting and sometimes I can't seem to get focus to take/set without many random actions...

Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus for FTL/assist) cleared while going into/out of instances?

Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus) cleared randomly (no apparent reason)?


Anyone else having issues setting focus sometimes? I can eventually get it by cycling through targets over and over or escape keys and/or switching back and forth between client windows (retrying until it sticks/sets) though a few times I had to x out the client and restart the client.

I am considering doing the manual macro's to manually target my primary toons target if that will provide more consistancy & less pain...

I have exactly the same issues with focus getting cleared and with setting focus at times. Until these issues have been fixed I will probably use a target of target based setup instead.
