Switching to ISBoxer, tips wanted.

[Tyval]

Thanks for the tips!

I will be doing the install/swap later today, I got the last of my 5 to 80 yesterday, and felt the heroic call, so figured I should try a few and see how I do.

Then back to business .

One problem I ran into with ISboxer which is really not a problem with the software is the region layout. If you want the mouse repeater to be accurate on your alts all regions need to be the same aspect ratio. In order to do this I had to switch to boxing on 1 pc and using 2 monitors instead of 2pc and 3 monitors like I had with keyclone. Its a small sacrifice but the software is by far better than keyclone. It goes a step beyond keyclone. Once you heal your group with the mouse repeater regions you will wonder how you did it without it.

can you explain that last line. Heal? with mouse repeater regions?

Update:

I've done the trial for ISBoxer/Innerspace. Downloaded installed etc.

Watched all the videos. Kind of get what is going on.


Ran into a few issues though.

I started playing around with building up my team from scratch using the videos/tutorials. Then deleted the team and used the wizard.

There was some weirdness when I exported my file to innerspace, I think I had some extra config/profiles there from when I moved all my accounts to one B-net account. Makes it so I have to enter the sub account name on a few accounts during log in. (I figure I can track that down).

Resolution of the screens seemed messed up. It seemed to be trying to force my old resolution into a smaller size for main window. I seemed to be able to fix this, but resetting the resolution manually. That is I would pick a resolution that was close to the main window size, and then resize to fit in the area.

Auto follow seems quite messed up.
I get in this feedback loop where my main character seems to try and auto follow another char during combat, after combat etc. only way to break this loop is to swap chars and then back to my tank.

I like that auto follow is kind of a default thing, but I guess I have to now add something to break it. Will look into that.

Was easy to change my dps macros to remove the focus target aspect so that was easy.

Any thoughts on why my main toon is trying to auto follow one of the followers? (I am using Jamba).

Also I'm wondering now if keymap a movement key to stop auto follow on the other toons, if they will just start following again.


edit: Just checked jamba and all the follow settings are disabled except for warn if I stop following.

Thanks

Okay,

I cleared out everything and started again.

Things are working better now.

Couple notes: I was getting the error regarding subaccount as I had added a couple accounts via the WoW website (RaF).

These listed with numbers in the initial list of characters so all I needed to do was changed the subaccount to reflect the assigned account name (WoW1) etc. This got rid of the error warning.

Follow issues : Maybe a jamba interaction, now I follow via the default keymap (which I changed from shift F to what I use to use).

I created new key maps for the arrow keys that move everyone but current window as outlined by Ualaa.

So now seems things are moving forward, ran out and did a bit of combat and things seem pretty good. Though need to adjust/modify more macros.

next step is to use Healbot and try and get the repeater regions going.

The account and subaccount thing, should eventually go away.
You'll want to use the option to virtualize the config.wtf for each toon you play.
So each can save their own settings, for the next time that toon is played.

If your character set assumes Account A is in Slot 1, if you log on Account 2 in that slot, you'll get an error (with IS Boxer wanting to update stuff for you, when you export to IS).
Once you log on, with the correct account in the correct slot, IS Boxer will be happier.

Things seem to be working great.

Got the repeater region for healbot set up, Had to search how to sort by names and found a post from you Ualaa, spend 15mins trying to figure it out and gave up and searched .

Went back to practice on normal mode dungeons as healing is way different now, will be a huge help though when I go back to heroics.

Created a few keymaps that are more or less straight pass through that was straightforward.

Still not clear how the FTL stuff works, but it does hehe, so will revisit it again to figure it out after I have the rest setup and going smoothly.

One question:

Is it possible to start attacking on a target and then have my tank move to a new target , say I need to taunt etc, and have everyone else keep on the first target?

Thanks much as always for all the great help I get here.

The FTL is based off of three mapped keys.
-- FTL Assist Me
-- FTL Target Me
-- FTL Follow Me

Anything using FTL conditions can be accomplished through calling one of these mapped keys.



If you were to remove auto follow (or strobe follow) on a character switch, this should be relatively easy.
Melee toons (along with your tank) should interact with target, which breaks follow.
Similarly, casters and healers will have broken follow a short distance away from the melee.

You'd need a mapped key for sticky targeting.
I believe Zanthor had one, which was posted a few months back.
You could try searching for posts by him, in reverse chronological order (newest first).

With a sticky targeting system, you'd need to push assist for the slaves to change targets.

You could probably just have a new mapped key made.
Which only sends the command to the current window.
The command could be a hotkey which all toons have a ranged attack on.
So for example, your hotkey might be "Alt + A" for an add.
Which sends "9" to the current window.
With every toon having a ranged attack on "9".
The mapped key does not have any assist component in it, and is broadcast only to the current window.
Which means, it does not change the targeting of the slaves.
And is not broadcast to them either.
