5 boxing on one box

[Owltoid]

You can generate macros and do FTL in Jamba. And WoW is not the only MMO out there where people box. It's really rather irritating to see so many posts that have a tone like ISBoxer is the only option for multiboxing, period. Lax made a nice product that people like, and that's wonderful. But that is no reason to put digs in at other programs that are part of this community.

...did you even read my post? I started off by saying how thankful I am to Freddie. Is that what you call putting digs in other programs? As an advanced former user of HKN and a current user of ISBoxer, IMO it's signifcantly better for WoW multiboxing. That doesn't mean HKN doesn't rock.

No, what I take issue with is saying that other programs "were wonderful in the past", like they are no longer usable. But I suppose it's derailing the thread, so that's as far as I'm going with it.

Keyclone programmed incorrectly on 56 pc's is the best multi boxing software out there!!! Isboxer just can't come close!!! Especially if you want to play 3 dwarf warriors!!! KC, END OF.

And pinebeach your totally nuts (in a good way) for wanting to 5 box with no broadcasting software! But I think as you level higher your really going to want/need it to acheive anything on your own (besides having 5 toons) but best of luck to ya!

Enclosed spaces are trickiest it seems, trying to click on an enemy and position the camera in five different windows at once gets a bit much. Specially when the camera behaves oddly due to the limited space. I'll stick with it for a while, I'm definately getting better. I'm going to give HotKeyNet a try for the window management features. I might end up using it for more as I progress. i've got nothing against key broadcasting software.

I've configured the window focus so that it gives focus when the mouse hovers over the window. That way I just move the mouse into the window and then press one of the keys to cast a spell or attack. The main problem I get is where one of the characters isn't facing the right direction, so even if I focus on the enemy by pressing the tab key they can't cast the spell because they're facing the other way. Is there a way to get the character to face the enemy by pressing a key using built in macro commands or lua? Does HotKeyNet, ISBoxer or Jamba help with that at all?

[Owltoid]

No, there is nothing that will tell the character to face the enemy (well, there may be a couple items in WoW that will auto turn the toon, like a focusing lens or something) in ISBoxer, HKN, Jamba, or lua.

Interact with target could work somewhat.

If you enable click to move in the mouse options in wow and then bind Interact With Target in keybindings. Then when you press the IWT(interact with target button) the character will try to interact with the target = attack/talk to it and move in melee range with the target. Since casters don't have to be in melee range a quick combo of IWT + move backwards is enough to face and can definitely be helpfull.

That's exactly what I was looking for!

I assigned "Shift-S" to "Interact with target" so if I want to make sure the character is facing their target I can just press Shift-S and then tap s quickly if I dont want them to get to close.

Thank you!

You will need 'click to move' enabled on your toons, too. It's under mouse settings, I believe.

I find that feature quite usefull for moving the characters around warcraft 3 style. It's such a shame I can't click and drag a box around them to make a group and then click where I want them to move. Does ISBoxer or Keyclones have anything like that?
