HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[Apps]

After my beer buzz wore off...I figured this out.....

ROFL!! Dude I think that's the best excuse and solution I've read in a long time. Nicely done. Mind posting what you had wrong to help with others and creating some SOP instructions.

I made a keymap...step one target party member one...step two follow. I put the hotkey on one of my G13 buttons and set it to toggle once every second or so. So after I invite everyone to group....I hit the toggle button and viola..."Set it and forget it". It may not be pretty but with no macros...you gotta do what you gotta do.

If you're making the G13 toggle the button for you (without you hitting it), this is likely against the ToS. I'd advise against it.

Yeah... I'll take the toggle off and just press it after fights.

be nice to get an official response about the use of G Keyboards and macros.. There were a few threads discussing that in beta and never got an official reply. I think they know that sense they do not have macros, players will be using 3rd party ,methods to accomplish it.

How is this going to work with Origin? It doesn't appear that the beta client uses Origin to login. So come Live, how will we authenticate multiple accounts through a single Origin instance?

I'm trying to think how you would run two or more instances of Steam. Same issue, right?

The WoW-branded SteelSeries mouse has those same functions, despite the fact that automation is very clearly against the rules of the game.

From Vyndree, about the original WoW SteelSeries Mouse, back in 2009 -

The user manual is incredibly misleading about delays and loops...

1. Timing Control
Text (Auto Delay) - This option is selected by default and is designed to optimize the delays for proper in-game performance. If you are not sure what option to use - simply leave this option on.
Record Delay - When selected, it will record the delays in real time reflecting your typing speed when creating a macro. This option is useful when you need precise real-life timing for some advance macros.
No Delay - ...

Not only was I shocked to read such "gray area" material in point one and most-definitely-against-the-rules material in item #2, but they followed up that section in the user guide with...

2. Looping
You can loop the macro by enabling the Loop check-box and specifying the number of repetitions.

And now from the SteelSeries FAQ for the Cataclysm version, which is sold in the Blizzard Store -

Whats the difference between the WoW: Cataclysm MMO gaming mouse and the original World of Warcraft MMO gaming mouse?

...
-Software: We’ve taken the great functionality of the original World of Warcraft mouse software and made it even better. User interface improvements including: Drag-and-drop button assignment, easily customizable macros plus advanced macro delays, and FULL compatibility with both Windows (Win XP or later) & Mac Operating Systems.
