Release: Multibox Tools

[Noids99]

I have been looking at this and plugging my FTL setup into it and something occurred to me. At the risk of making multiboxing even easier than it already is, an application like this would be able to setup a standard FTL macro/keybind setup for anybody, only requiring the toon names etc. to be applied. Obviously there would be some variation between different class combos but the basics of the system would be the same across the board. Nice work Carnage.

I was thinking about something along those lines, but I havent got a clue how FTL setups work - I use target of target and dont see any reasons to switch to FTL.
I intend to use focus for hex, if its still there - i havent been keeping track

What i was considering was, user selects classes, enters names and details - program makes macros and displays them for the user to choose keybinds - but im not sure, its just me thinking atm

I tinkered around with it and I like it. Here are a few thoughts I'd like to see:

Ability to read macros that already exist and to edit them.
More Icons (already in the to do)
Automatically clear the macro name and macro boxes when successfully adding a macro and add them to the list of existing macros.
Be able to specify which macros are character specific and which are set to account wide


Great start so far :_D

Be able to specify which macros are character specific and which are set to account wide

At the moment, any macros or keybinds you create are charecter specific. Im guessing the only uses for account wide macros / keybinds would be for like the accept all macro? What other uses is there?

I will work on it, and some of the others you suggested - for now i need to work out a way so that i can exclude certain files from being updated.

I use the distinction between personal and account wide macros for when I'm soloing, I use the party1 to target and assist off of. When I'm in a raid or pvping, I use the main toon's name for following and assisting. To keep these separate (since I use the same icons for follow and assist so I can easily spot them at a glace) I have the party1 account wide and the toon's name in the toon specific, since Aahh and Trois will never be grouped with Snapin, or any of my other "main" toon from other teams.

Ah i see, Ill be working on it soon - although progress will slow when WoTLK hits, as ill be using my spare time to enjoy the new content ;D

No worries, I'll be doing the same :_D

Update:

Ive added a feature so that you can save your settings into a config file, this means that its much easier and less tedious to use multiple setups at once. It also means that after an update you can just open your settings instead of having to enter them all again!

Its straight forward to use, just like anyother save / open features. Enter the details and save it, then to open those details open it. The open / save features can be accessed from the menu bar, File > Open / Save, this is only avaliable on the amount and directory settings windows.


After learning how to read from a file more effectivily, ive managed to get the majority of settings to store in a single file and basically have just finished recoding the program for it to work around this new way. Best way for me to learn is doing it like this

I have also just relised that everytime i update its also overwriting the settings that need to be saved, macronames, macro ID number ect.. - Im sure this is what is causing multiple macros, Im working on a solution.

Added:

Every shaman icon (i think), it would take me forever to test each of them ingame, so if anyone finds one that doesnt work report it here, thanks.
Accept all macro

The project will be put on hold as it is the release of WoTLK tomorrow (durhh) and ill be enjoying that too much to be programming. However, I will still fix bugs - im not aware of any at the moment.
I just need to test a few things to see if i fixed some bugs
