Thinking of switching to ISBoxer

Figured out what happened. ISBoxer detected an installation of WoW that I haven't used in years and chose it as where the game would be loaded. argh...Can't figure out how to tell ISBoxer to use c:\wow for main and l:\wow for alts. The wiki says you can 'add game' but that function doesn't show up on the GUI.

hey blast welcome back !!!

BTW, if you plan to use one authenticator across multiple accounts, I found it easier to keep your accounts seperate and not merge them all. I can use one / the same authenticator number accross all my accounts. It seems as if you are unable to do that if you have your accounts merged

I had 5 on the same bnet account and it usually logged 2 or 3 in with the same number, the others had to wait for a new number.

Got me thinking... If I call Blizzard would they split them for me? This method of 5 bnets sounds a lot better tbh.

Edit: might ask this as well: Is it only the costs for innerspace or do I have to pay for ISboxer as well, if I`m correct it`s 12dolars for 3 months?

Sorry for stealing the topic:-)

Yes.

$10 for 3 months or $36/year

Add Game is a function of Inner Space (right click the icon in the system tray) not of ISBoxer. All of your game paths, etc are stored in Inner Space as "Games" and "Game Profiles" -- a game profile can be a different folder, be set to run on a different monitor (useful for multiple video cards) and so on, and a "game" pretty much just stores profiles. You can modify an existing profile through the IS Configuration window (select Configuration from the IS menu, and it's under the Game Configuration tab)

I just bought ISboxer from keyclone. It is not easy to switch.. well switch well. There are so many things you can do with this program. ITs simple yet complicated at the same time, kinda overwhelming at times though. I still have not completely switched over but soon will be 100% over. I do find ISboxer harder to change options such as whitelist/blacklist. I can not take stuff off this list which is mildy annyoing :|

The setup wizard was good. Just let it setup the action bar keys then change them to the ones you use if you dont use the default binds. I also changed the follow key and repeater hot keys and it was working great.

For simple keys that don't need setup for targeting you can make a whitelist under repeater profiles > default...

Pretty simple setup - though at first it does seem like alot to learn.

As far as switching toons in and out of teams, I do this too. It's perfectly fine to do this, ISBoxer will sync your Jamba team to whatever set of toons you configure. I'm not sure what trouble Mercurio was having, but if you're switching toons on the fly you're going to want to switch it in the Character Set, Export, and either log out to character selection or do a /reloadui. If you don't, then the ISBoxer Addon is still going to have macros active that specify the previous character, and it's still going to insist on putting the previous character in your Jamba team.

Lax, sorry to just be getting back to this issue, but I tried to fix it again today and had no luck.

You said:

I switch toons out constantly for this or that. I have 35 level 80s and will swap them out to try different things, to get a shot at a drop off a certain boss after an instance is halfway run, to use a toon for a particular profession, etc, etc.

Maybe I'm being lazy, but it sounds like a big pain to me to have to go into ISBoxer, change teams/characters, and export every time I want to swtich toons. Here's how I use ISBoxer - I only have ten characters listed under "Characters". I have no character-specific macros in ISBoxer. I put five characters in one team on my first computer and the other five on my second computer. I launch WoW and 5 windows launch on each computer. I log in on all at once, then pick whatever server and characters I want to play. Everything works perfectly except one thing - Jamba is broken b/c ISBoxer automatically changes my settings so that only the ten characters listed in ISBoxer are in the Jamba profile and they are all checked. So when I play those exact ten characters, all is well. However, when I play some (or more likely) none of those characters, my chat screen is constantly spammed by the message:

"No player named 'Jack1' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack2' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack3' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack4' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack5' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack6' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack7' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack8' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack9' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack10' is currently playing"

Everytime something I might care about in general, trade or guild chat is said, I better look quickly or the Jamba spam scrolls it out of viewable text. The other functions in Jamba are wonky as well b/c the other characters that my toons are more likely to be playing with are unchecked automatically by ISBoxer.

I tried setting up a new Character Set from scratch and unchecked all of the default configuration options, but ISBoxer still automatically (dis)configures Jamba for me. I'm going to have to turn Jamba off entirely if I can't find another solution.

Is there any way you could give users the option of having ISBoxer auto-configure Jamba? Or is there another solution to this issue?

I do want to say again that ISBoxer is absolutely fabulous. It is sad to have this wall of text only talking about a complaint I have, but it is rather frustrating to have to give up either chat or Jamba to use ISBoxer.

Thank you for all the support, you really do rock for spending so much time making such a great tool!

Merc I have no idea since I don't use Jamba, but perhaps a big question like that deserves it's own thread? Lax might not see this at all...
