HOWTO: Multibox SWTOR on one PC with ISBoxer!

[Boxcar]

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...

I have exactly the same issues with focus getting cleared and with setting focus at times. Until these issues have been fixed I will probably use a target of target based setup instead.

I've also had the same issue with setting my focus, which is exactly why I'm not using focus targeting until I can get it consistently working as it should.

All of the above is exactly the same as my experiences. It's just too much hassle to deal with it right now, as far as I'm concerned.
