My accidental misinterpretation in the first post was unfortunate, yes. But I don't think the CSF reps are dumb enough not to realize when someone says "hey, I made a mistake". I've already started a new thread for additional and non-product-specific questions.


Still working hard on the CSF....

I would classify an "Addon" as any legitimate addition to the "Addons" folder within the "Interface" folder.


2) Are "Addons" only applicable in-game (i.e. under Interface\Addons) or does the term "Addons" also apply to out-of-game hardware and/or software (G15's, Keyclone software, Voice-To-Text, etc)?
As always, be wary of third-party software (and hardware); but they wouldn't necessarily fit within the term "Addon".


3) In the following post, Slouken (Blizzard poster) makes a comment about Minimap:PingLocation and "Addons"? What is the definition of "Addon" as he mentions in this post? Does it include out-of-game programs?
See my above two answers, and an outside piece of software or hardware changing targets, or casting spells on a certain location on the minimap may be considered exploitation (or hacking).


4) When Souken specified AddOns, he meant it as "in-game AddOns cannot perform this action" or he meant it as "third-party software or hardware of any kind cannot perform this action"?
Generally speaking, if we've disabled the ability for an Addon to do it, we don't want you to do it.

I believe that the rest of your questions follow the same guidelines.

Those of our staff (i.e. Slouken) that post on our UI/Macro forums would more than likely be able to clear this up more for you as they're the ones that deal with these determinations and issues. =)

Lax, I added your questions as soon as I got them, but Reythur was mid-post when I edited my original.



One tiny tidbit as I don't mean to nitpick your post -- If repeater is a prerequisite for multiboxing with ClickBoxer, then ClickBoxer (at least the way I see it) requires Repeater and inherits responsibility for the functions it utilizes.

Much like how Keyclone is bundled with Maximizer -- if anything iffy is going on with Maximizer, then Keyclone is thrown into the boat with it until the Maximizer functionality is removed or clarified.


I'll admit -- this thread was spawned BY the debate going on about ClickBoxer, but was certainly INTENDED to be more general about mouse-clicks. We did rather snowball off-topic and for my part in that, I apologize. I realize you're going on and on about what ClickBoxer does/doesn't do, and I've already stated my opinion that CLICKBOXER doesn't appear to have any nefarious INTENTIONS (which I think we agreed on in the other thread). During the majority of this thread (prior to you bringing up ClickBoxer specifically), I have been largely speaking in general about mouseclicks on x,y locations -- not mouse multiplexing (sending relative movements -- though it has come up in comparison). Just FYI, this thread was not intended to be specifically directed at ClickBoxer -- if it had, I would've left the discussion in the ClickBoxer thread. If Repeater is the one actually doing the clicking then this discussion APPLIES to Repeater, though isn't specifically ABOUT repeater.

I moved this thread because, while the discussion started with ClickBoxer, it certainly brought up additional gray area about mouse multiplexing/click repeating in general.
