Couple of setup questions for ISBoxer

[Teslah]

Hey everyone,

I had a couple of quick questions on a few setup items for ISBoxer.

1. Right now I am 5 boxing LOTRO with one PC and two monitors with 1 screen on the main monitor and 4 on the other monitor. When doing quests or collections I move the mouse to the second monitor, click one of the screens to make it the main, then loot, then move the mouse over to the next guy, click, etc. Is there an easy way to switch screens? Or better yet, how are people doing this? I can't read the names on the other screen since it is so small, and it gets a little confusing remembering who looted, etc.

2. I have seen vidoes where people have a small set of transparent boxes on their main screen that represent all of the other characters they have running. They click these boxes to activate those characters instead of moving the mouse over to activate them. What is that called? Where is it in ISBoxer and how do you use it?

3. Is there a way to loot from the main screen with ISBoxer without moving the mouse around to click other screens and move them to the main screen so you can loot?

Hope this makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll clarify.

Thanks for the help.

With WOW and isboxer, I assigned Alt-F1, Alt-F2 etc... to 'switch windows'. It's setup in isboxer

Is it the same for LOTR? i don't know.

I have (as far as I know) a unique setup for this. What I did was setup a "reset region" on the 2nd PC that was full-size. I setup 4 normal regions for regular play. Then I have a separate keymap for "Alt Window Functions" where I have CTRL+ALT+NUMPAD1 set to send the current window to the reset region, and CTRL+ALT+NUMPAD0 set to reset all regions back to their home region. It works like a champ. Remind me later (PM me if I forget) and I'll post my config and more details when I get home tonight.

Note that my setup isn't the easiest thing to use in the heat of battle but it's great for use at mailboxes, vendors, etc. when you really want to see all the item/text details.
