Innerspace Windowsnapper, Repeater, and a little extra sumptin sumptin

I have a request for ISBoxer: Could you please make it exclusive executable, so we can't accidentally run 2 or more ISBoxers and override settings when exiting program.

Took me awhile to convince myself to actually startup ISBoxer again. I worked alot with XML files to perfect my settings and knowing that i would need to do them all over again with little bit more complex interface really put me off.... but now i'm happy i did. From now on it will be much easier to fine tune keymaps. Editing xml-files with text editor really isn't much faster than with this toolkit and you get some benefits from ISBoxer you wouldn't get from normal editor.

Excellent 'addon' !

Done for next build -- it will ask if you mean to open a second copy, and will uncheck auto-save in the new copy if you click Yes.

Well, for anyone else putting it off just because of the time of redoing existing key maps previously done in a KeyMapper XML file, you can right click on the Key Maps entry and select Import, and select an existing KeyMapper XML to import.

Hope its ok to post a question here.

Is it possible to only display a certain region of a specific window on specific coordinates using pip with IS?

Nope. Saddly this would be awesome because I don't need the full display on my alts, just a nice chunk out of the middle.

Is there any word when about when Build 20 might be available?

I'm very interested in using this across multiple computers, and the wiki talks about Build 20 for this.

Yeah, i could see it being totally awesome for my team. Being able to watch actionsbars and other stuff from my priest, and perhaps two minimaps with one tracking ore and one tracking herb... Would be awesome..

You should probably start a new thread for this instead of posting on Zanthor's original thread, but here goes.

Build 20 will be available on February 19, 2009, according to the release history (over a month ago). We're on 29 now, and 30 is coming out soon.

The only thing that is missing is the detailed instructions (and/or video) for setting that particular feature up. This is basically it:

1. Perform all configuration from the main PC.
2. Set up everything that will be on your main PC (Character Set, Window Layout, etc)
3. Set up each other PC (in ISBoxer on the main PC as instructed by #1), starting with creating a Computer for each other PC. If you will be using Window Layouts on the other PCs, you will need to set up the Screens per PC, each with the proper boundaries. To get the correct information to put for each screen, you can launch ISBoxer on each PC (you'll need it on each anyway), and on that PC, right click on Computers and click New Computer. It will fill in information on the Computer it is run on. You will need to make sure that either a) you name the Computer the same as the actual Computer name (see #5 for how to find it), or b) fill in the Uplink Name (see #5 for how to find it) and the IP address fields
4. Create everything that will be run on each other PC, as if you were going to play only on that PC (Character Set, Window Layout, etc). In the Character Set, you will need to set the "Computer to launch on" to the desired Computer (do not do this for the one on the main PC -- there is a bug with that in ISBoxer 29 and lower, fixed in ISBoxer 30, which is not out yet). In the Window Layout, in the Regions page, the drop-down box to select the Computer is on the bottom-right, and it will generally say "<Pre-defined Computer>". If you change the Screens for a Computer, you will want to select the Computer again from the drop-down box.
5. Enable Uplink Networking on each PC that is not the main PC. To do so, open the Configuration window in Inner Space (via its menu), and on the General tab, roughly in the middle is a checkbox to "Enable incoming connections on port" with a port number by it. Check the box to enable incoming connections. You may need to allow the given port (incoming, TCP) in your firewall. Directly above that box is "Unique name for this uplink" which defaults to the name of your PC (this is where to find the actual computer name or the Uplink Name for #3). If it's not the name of your PC, you will need to set the IP Address field in ISBoxer for the Computer.
6. To link the Character Sets together, go back to the Character Set for the main PC. You will notice an "Also Launch" at the bottom of it. Click and drag each of the other Character Sets (the ones to be played at the same time on the other Computers) to this Character Set (you have to drag it from the top part, to the bottom part, just like all of the other click+drag you do in ISBoxer). This will make it so that when you launch the main Set, it will "Also Launch" the others on the appropriate Computers. If you are using Repeater, everything will then repeat to ALL windows, not just the ones on your main PC. If you are using Key Maps, "All" will also include the other PCs, but you will notice that per-Slot is only available on the *current* PC. Action Target Groups work across all PCs (and therefore if you need per-Slot, create an Action Target Group for any given Character).
7. Once the configuration is complete, Save and Export it on the main PC. You will then need to get it to each of the other PCs, which will also need it Exported to Inner Space via ISBoxer. You can either copy ISBoxerToolkitProfile.XML across, (found where ISBoxer is installed, which is hopefully the Inner Space folder) or you can use the Copy to Clipboard feature from the menu on the "ISBoxer" item in ISBoxer, then the Paste feature from the same menu on the other PC. If you do not have a shared clipboard (e.g. Synergy), you can use a paste site like pastebin.com or rafb.net/paste to copy it on the other PC.
8. Launch Character Set on main PC, which should not show the additional Character Sets in the IS menu. If it does not launch on the other PCs, check the Console window in the uplink (main program) for error messages (it will be obvious, and colored red). You may need to check it on the other PCs as well. The uplink Console window can be opened via the Console item in the IS menu.

That's pretty much it. To recap in summary: Create a Computer for each additional PC, create a Character Set per PC, enable Uplink Networking on non-main PCs, link Character Sets by dragging them to the main one so that they appear under "Also Launch", Export the configuration on all PCs, then launch Character Set on the main PC. It's easier than it probably sounds.

I have been fiddeling with the idear to try and go with IS for my 5 druids. Im software boxing, but im a bit hesitant since im not the most technically guy around.

I have seen the two videos setting everything up in ISboxer and it really seems straigh forward. To me the biggest advantage would definetly be the window swapper and the mousebroadcast functions.

Maybe I should try it out, hell - I got Jamba, keyclone and my macros to work

I totally rebuilt my setup this weekend - I am VERY impressed with ISBoxer and how easy it makes setup - yet how complex you can get with it. In just a few hours I was able to recreate ~30 hours of configuration that I had done before by hand. Keeping in mind both had the same learning curve since both I had to config from scratch.

I'll be doing a complete guide to "Up and running with ISBoxer" in the next few days.

that would be great sir, I've been toying around with ISBoxer for a bit but haven't had the energy to set everything back up... this sounds promising
