Introducing Plexer for Mac

[quietstrm07]

I just had a quick question for you guys. I just downloaded the trial of Plexer this past weekend and was working on leveling a pair of toons through dungeons and was running into some issues. Occasionally the second account's character will either spin around in place or at other times he will just randomly start strafing and turning, inevitably pulling additional mobs and wiping the group. Has anyone else run into this?

[shadewalker]

Yes - I had the same issue in a previous post here.

I have also stated that it is different than having the characters just run off into the distance, a common bug with WoW itself.

I use a /follow macro on my slaves to follow.

The problem shows up mostly when I want to stop the slaves from following my main. If I strafe or use a movement key to break the follow (I don't know of any other way to break follow), it appears the slaves sometimes receive the "key down" event but not "key up" event for the movement key.

I can then use a follow command to try and collect my slaves, but they keep running in circles due to what appears to me as the initial movement key still being depressed. I don't know for sure if this is what is happening, just my guess at it.

I use "shift" and "ctrl" modifiers a lot, and have black listed all the movement combinations with those mod keys. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the issues I am having or not.

The weird thing is I have blacklisted the normal movement keys (A,S,D, Q, W, E) and the only keys that remain to move the characters the the arrow keys which I normally use to try and break the toon out of running off. If the toon is spinning, I use my jamba follow macro. I'm just not sure why the toon would pick up a movement key when it is supposed to not send at all and I haven't touched the other movement keys. Should I just switch to whitelist mode and only allow the specific keys I have set up to perform my given rotation/mounting tasks?

[shadewalker]

Yup, I had the exact same problem with the movement keys being blacklisted. The only keys that were not were the strafe keys and the arrow keys.

I had to be quick to switch to the save windows and get them to stop running in circles by mashing all the movement keys. Even when i did that sometimes i would still have trouble getting them to stop all motion.

[quietstrm07]

So then what did you do to take care of it? Just mash the hell out of the movement keys and pray or was there some way to keep it from occurring in the first place?

[shadewalker]

Prayed and mashed keys. I tried clonekeys too and boxed with it thru WoTLK. It had issues as well so.....I then installed bootcamp, win7, and ISBoxer. I haven't looked back since.

How many instances of WoW do you have running on your computers when you have this issue? I've seen something similar a while back, but that was usually when my computer was pretty bogged down.

[shadewalker]

It was 5 instances on a first gen mac pro with 2 dual core processors. I can't remember the exact speed or proc number.

Is this software no longer supported? I've PM'd the owner, owensd, several times with problems and have gotten no response.

[owensd]

I do not get email notifications of PMs so I never saw your two messages sent here. I only saw this because I subscribed to updates to this thread nearly two years ago.

I no longer play WoW nor do I support the software - I've released both v1 and the progress I made for v2 under open source licenses and have it hosted on github (going to www.kiadsoftware.com redirects you there or simply go to https://github.com/owensd/Plexer).

I simply was not getting enough sales to warrant continued time in development of the software. I'm sorry if updates to WoW have caused any issues.
