HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[Lyonheart]

I did not see an 'assist" anything. Just target party or companion member 1-5 is that what you mean?

if you mean in game?

there is an assist keybind, if not, then disregard me

[Lyonheart]

im 99% certain there is a keybind for assist, 1% uncertain

I looked all over for it.. unless they removed it last build.. it would make sense that it should be there. I mean all the trouble I had getting an assist system to work was directly because there was no keybind listed for "assist" I could very well be wrong, and hope i just did not see it. All i found was the target this and that keybinds ( party member 1-5 and companion 1-5 ) and acquire target of target.

Yea.. in game? What menu was it under.. it was not under "targeting keybinds"

I know I had seen it, servers are down so I cant look at it. they may have taken it out, and that would be dumb 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
