Implementing an FTL quite simple with templates

[Khatovar]

It will complain if you close one of the windows down, that it can't send commands to that window. But it won't cause problems.

Yup, nothing wrong with that. Those sort of errors can be ignored as you've already seen. I often use the same script for 5 that I do for even solo play.

There might be code redundancies, I haven't had time to check and test each snippet of the script.

I'm not seeing any glaring redundancies. If it's something that's going to cause problems, HotKeyNet will usually throw up an error about it, like you saw before with the Shift F problems.

My startup routine varies from yours slightly, but six of one half dozen of another. One thing I do note is that you have an enter command in there to automatically log all the way in to character selection. Do you use an authenticator? If you do or plan to {always a good idea}, you'll probably want to remove the enter part, otherwise when you trigger the authenticator it'll trigger on all your windows. Because the code is only good for one login now, IIRC, you'll have to close down the other windows and relaunch them after entering the Authenticator code for the first window.

I also note that you are running all accounts out of the same folder. Again, while there's nothing wrong with that, you might want to look at symlinks. I run with 5 separate folders - 1 main folder which is a full install, then 1 folder for each of my slaves with Cache, Data, Interface and Screenshots folders symlinked to the main folder. What this does is allow the same level of performance as you'd have running from a single folder, but allows each account to have their own WTF folder, which stores Config.wtf. That's the file that stores things like graphics settings, frame caps and last login information.

You generally want your slaves running at a lower FPS and lower graphics settings to reduce load on your system and allows you to run higher settings on the main and can be swapped as you switch windows with a macro {that was the most recent I saw, someone else may have a newer one}. Independent login settings means you can use the "Remember Account Name" checkbox on the login screen and it will always load with the proper account name per window, so you don't have to re-enter the account name, just the password.


Macros look good. As you get more spells, you can take a look at the MoP Macro Library for a look at how others have their macros built out for more optimal DPS at max level.
