HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[Crum1515]

correct. I have since deleted origin and never want to see that crap again

yup, such a horrid program, and they tried to lead us to believe we had to have it lol

Damn, thats a nice looking keyboard. Macro's are on the way, hopefully that thing comes down in price by the time they hit lol

Sorry, I meant target party 1.

I fixed the post.

Basically that is an "Assist" hotkey setup in ISboxer that I incorporate into my DPS macro's to function as a ghetto auto assist system.

Ok.. Glad you confirmed.. an actual assist system would be much better though.. Like assist focus.. and assist party members. But I hope they see the light and add macros so you can /assist playername .. /cast or any kind of castsequence would be gravy.. but the macros with basic /assist /follow etc.. would help a ton.

It functions pretty much exactly the way assist works in other games, just a little extra targeting by the slaves. However it is one keystroke, one assist and one attack.

Is there a setting I'm overlooking in InnerSpace/ISBoxer to make the SWTOR windows think they are the active window? Ever since the release build I noticed the sound is turning off if I click into another window, and there's no setting to change that like there is in WoW. I figure there must be a way to handle that.

not sure if this has been stated yet...

I noticed some folks had issues with targetting and attacking. the current information posted so far works, but to me it looks a bit cumbersome. I found this out last night

ALT + F is in the game and sets up a Focus target. Whats not LISTED in the game is an assist Focus. After mashing some buttons last night in ISBoxer and in the game, I found the Ctrl + F is actually the assist Focus built into the game. Not sure if I lost the follow (i dont think i did) part, but didnt really test that out.

So all you do is designate an initial focus on all your subordinate toons, then set up the ISBoxer to use Ctrl + F for the FTLAssist in ISBoxer and yer done =)

hope this helps

Now go back to your company ( Bioware ) And tell them to fix follow! Thx for this tip btw!

[Lyonheart]

I switched to control +f ( assist focus ) and it is far better! love it! Also, the Z for ending the moon walk is great as well. Follow still needs fixed, but this did ease the pain a tad.

I wonder if there are any other useful "hidden" keybinds?!?!

These threads have been great. The DXnothing windows are awesome and the region to auto-reengage follow/Z while doing normal activities is great.

I also implemented Cntrl+F for assist though, since I still MB WoW, I made a copy of the initial macros and manually assigned them to the SWTOR group and that works well when my primary character is the focus.

One thing that is annoying is that entering/leaving instances clears the focus off the main player as both don't go in simultaneously and focus seems to clear periodically for no apparent reason causing my background slave player to no longer target. It is a pain to keep reseting and sometimes I can't seem to get focus to take/set without many random actions...

Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus for FTL/assist) cleared while going into/out of instances?

Anyone else getting their focused target (assuming your primary character is the focus) cleared randomly (no apparent reason)?


Anyone else having issues setting focus sometimes? I can eventually get it by cycling through targets over and over or escape keys and/or switching back and forth between client windows (retrying until it sticks/sets) though a few times I had to x out the client and restart the client.

I am considering doing the manual macro's to manually target my primary toons target if that will provide more consistancy & less pain...
