Innerspace Windowsnapper, Repeater, and a little extra sumptin sumptin

[Lax]

I see, thanks. I'll try it out in a different folder, as I pretty much have all my script and interface folders set up to my liking.

Sure, but using the ISBoxer Toolkit wont break anything existing, unless you have modified the actual repeater, windowsnapper, etc. scripts. So you could go back to running wow.iss if you wanted to, and everything would work the same as you left it

p.s. "proc 1 only 5 on" works as of Inner Space build 4839, previously it would have had to be 2 lines as in Zanthor's last response. I thought it worked this way originally but it turns out it stopped processing at "only". Anyway, it now works as I've been telling people to do it with using "only" to shut off all but the one, and then listing the other cores to flip on.

I have been trying to get this working on my computer for about 1 hour now.
One major problem I am having is logging in. It seems that with that dragon flying around at start-up my 8800GTS can't handle running all 5 at 1680x1050.
I can get my main to log in, load up the level, but all my alts when I log in just have the skill bar but are unable to load the textures.
Is it my graphics card that is making me unable to 5 box like this? If so, how can I upgrade my graphics card so that I can use IS?
I use the "run wow 5" command, and wait patiently for like 4 min for them all to load the intro screen.
Would giving you my processor information/mobo information help?

Processor, Video card, and RAM. Mobo doesn't really matter as far as helping you with this issue. What I will tell you is that an 8800GTS should be fine running at 1680x1050. What you likely need to check is your anti-aliasing level. Open the game, just to the login screen will do, and hit the Options button, then click Video. Next to the Resolution drop-down box is one that says Multisampling. 24-bit color and 24-bit depth is fine, but make sure 1x is selected. Anything over 1x is going to seriously degrade your performance, so I think that's what your issue is based on previously helping people who reported similar issues. Past that, you can try lowering some video options in the Effects page including draw distance (on the 4 "slaves" perhaps -- you can probably get away with the main character having a better view). And finally, the more cores on your CPU the better, if you have 2 or fewer cores that may be the bottleneck and not the video.

Thank you very much, looks like i was on 4x multi-sampling.

Just wondering why this got un-stickied?

Ya know that was the first thing that went through my mind as well.

Me as well. I'm not sure who un-stickied it.


You might want to update your link to the files http://www.botbh.com/zfiles/Zanthors...up20081111.zip

is a bad link now.

Fixed the first reference to it, I had missed that when I moved my guilds hosting.

If you could look into why it was unstickied I'd appreciate it - there's many other stickies that should first from my point of view, inactive posts about software thats not open sourced and the original website has been taken down.

Yep. I'll check into it, some of the stickies could probably use a rummaging through anway

I was testing out ISboxer.. but probably not the way you intended (I'm crazy like that).

I tried it out with 2 sessions/accounts of Everquest 1. (see crazy).
I was able to get everything working except windowsnapper, but I think thats because I was only using 2 windows/sessions maybe.

When exporting or doing a Save As for the profile, it doesn't seem to be able to open them back up again. I can go to where I saved it and see the xml file with all my settings though.
Every time I run ISboxer I have to start over. It does let me import my repeater and computer name settings (didn't attempt windowsnapper and didn't set up keymaps).

Other than that, it was pretty easy to use. I just entered the "run autolayout" in the command window after I logged in to get windowsnapper working.

BTW - windowsnapper rocks! It's extremely fast even on my crappy computer. :thumbsup:
