What software are you guys using now-a-days?

[sqeaky4100]

I've been gone quite a while, about a year... It feel like 10 years with the darn speed things evolve at!

When I left, there were a few options available, but it seemed like everyone used keyclone - hands down. Now though, it seems like the multiboxing community is far more diverse.

So... What multiboxing software are you guys using now? Did you switch from keyclone/another program and do you like your new choice?


Also, since in the title I just said "software", we minus well post what other nifty applications we use to aid out adventures!

I use:

- Logitech G15 software ( pretty much a gimmy, those extra 18 keys are magic with this program. It's so darn temping to use time delays with this program, but thats illegal. )

- Resource Monitor ... included in Windows 7 (pretty hidden too!) is this nifty little program. Like the title, it monitors your computers resources. It's basically a glorified task manager, and it helps a lot when seeing how your multiple WoWs are running and whats taxing what.

- Killer Xeno Software Suite - This is included with the EVGA Killer Xeno network card. But can also be downloaded online. I use my Killer Xeno card when playing so that helps... But another thing this program does is automatically enables the TCPNodelay and those other similar tricks.

Still using Octopus. Never had a need for another. Though when I get back into WoW, I will probably give Mojo a look-see.

I started with Keyclone, and as far as keyboard broadcasting goes it is a superb program.
I'm happy to have started with such an easy to use software option.
But it didn't offer all the features, I'd like.
Following Zanthor's 'Zero to Hero' post several times, encouraged me to try IS Boxer.

I'm glad I did, because it is a very strong boxing option.

The key replication is as strong, but instead of straight replication of keys (repeater mode), you can also do keymaps.
Keymaps are a series of mapped keys, each of which has a hotkey and one or more actions.
You can choose which window it affects, in a vast array of options.
Things like 'all of the other windows', for independent slave movement, irregardless of your current toon.

The mouse broadcasting is instant and extremely accurate; I talent spec warlocks at once when they all ding.

PiP swap between clients is instant, which is nice for pvp.

There is automatic FTL, which is something I couldn't get to work with KC.
Any toon can lead, and the others automatically assist the active window, based on modifier keys selected during set up.

You can set up regions where mouse broadcasting turns on while the mouse is in the area. And choose for the broadcast to go to all other windows, or specific windows. So you can mouse click and have the keys broadcast. I use this to mouse click my hearthstone, or to pass 'Clique' mouse heal commands to my healers window, from that of any of my toons.

It supports the G11/G15, along with just about every other device.
Jamba can be integrated into IS Boxer; Jamba is an amazing addon for boxers, by Jafula who is a boxer.

You're a good sell haha. I've put in a request for a 7-day trial. It truly does seem feature rich, but I have two questions:

- How CPU/Resource intensive is it?

- How exactly does the automatic FTL work? It sounds amazing, I'd love that type of setup, but I'm not sure how much "configuring and macro-making" is involved on my end.

I used to use Keyclone, but needed more options like Ualaa.

Today I run with ISboxer and Innerspace. Add Vuhdo combined with repeater regions of IS and you have one hefty combination for managing heals etc.

I had my eyes on innerspace from the beginning, but it looked a bit difficult to setup. Now there are tutorials etc. and a really helpfull userbase which eased my migration to this program.

Also, I use Jamba - but its more of an addon. But its superb!

Thanks to all the developers out there! You are doing one heck of a fine job.

Slightly more CPU/GPU intensive than KeyClone in the aspect that WoW runs at it's actual resolution even when thumbnailed. This is hardly noticable unless your machine is borderline.

The automatic FTL is generated dynamically through an AddOn that ISBoxer configures for you synchronized with the appropriate "slots" in game having the FTL modifiers applied.

Like Ugh I am still using Octopus, I started out using it when I first got introduced to boxing and have tried a few things but come back to Octopus every time. Will probably give Mojo a try in a little bit when it matures some and the bugs are fixed on it, the way Freddie is working on it should be done in another week or so .

I'll dive into ISboxer.

I've noticed 2 guides so far (One by you "Zero to Hero" and another one, maybe by Ulalaa?)

Is there any other guides I should check out? I find that guides help me out immensley, because I learn to teach myself after the guides.


Thanks for the help guys!

During team configuration, you assign a unique FTL modifier to each toon.
This is done by checking boxes.

The default is fine, I misunderstood the process when I set my teams up.
The FTL modifiers are pretty much only affecting certain keys.
I am free to include shift, alt and ctrl in my macros, without messing with my FTL.
The only thing is, to not use a few hotkeys that the FTL uses, as hotkeys for macros.

Nothing in the default wow bindings conflicts with the default IS Boxer bindings.
