Build 21 and the current state of the project

3. Make a spreadsheet kind of control that will be used for the DNP/key-assignment screen.

4. Write the DNP/key-assignment screen.

This is where the project currently stands.

I wrote that after asking everybody which features I should do first.

It only shows the plan for the next few builds. There's lots of other stuff that's planned, half written under the hood, etc.

My personal requirements for bare bones functionality are:

• Mute key broadcasting
• Full key broadcasting
• Limited key broadcasting (DNP list or something similar)
• Window configuration

My perspective is a single boxer perspective so I could care less about communication across machines and the synchronization issues related to it as I don't really see myself running more than 1 instance of Mojo.

Limited key broadcasting is crucial as well. If I remember correctly WoW now stores keybindings and macros server side so unbinding movement keys on alts is something I prefer not to do as I sometimes run those characters solo or switch to "driving" from another window which leads into the next point.

Window configuration: WoW allows us to set where and how the WoW windows are drawn. Being able to pre-configure a desired layout and setup folders where to launch WoW from is crucial. Swapping your main window with an alternate window via hotkeys is also a highly desirable feature.

The first 2 already exist, but I agree about the next 2 (which is what you can see there) under DNP and Maximizer names; the only difference is I also put "mouse click broadcasting" in the top 4

This is the last suggestion for the entry window from the other thread. Any comments?

Is there any way to specify a character (as opposed to a WoW) It has always been easier for me to think in terms of what keys I'm sending which toon, not always which WoW. Maybe I'm just odd

That's the kind of thing this thread will help decide. So please, discuss! I'm listening.

Things don't have to work just one way. In fact I'd like the program to be extremely flexible so people can use it however they like. The tricky thing is designing the program so it provides lots of choices but seems simple to the user and not confusing.

Well, I certainly don't want to steer you towards something thats totally different than your design. I don't know much about HKN, but from what I had seen, the scripts always named wow's wow1, wow2, etc. ISBoxer names the wow windows by Character name -> Character Set. IMHO, it would be easier to name the wow's by at least the character so you can see easier (again, imo) which keys are being sent to which toon and not have to worry about remember which WoW is which character. Maybe have a character based configuration and have that apply to a WoW "instance"? So you setup all your keybinds that get send to your tank, and you have a "tank" configuration that you can apply to whichever WoW instance is your tank.

Maybe individual character configurations would be overly complicated.

People can name things however they like in both programs.

This isn't designed yet so please say any ideas you want. I've been thinking tentatively of configuring WoWs, Toons, and Teams. The first two sound like your WoW and tank.

I don't think per-character configuration is too complicated, but I think people should be able to configure things in other ways if they want.

I agree completely with giving people multiple ways to configure things. I was just thinking in terms of other applications and how well / not so well they handle configuration.
