Ease the physical pain of follow

[Darkmod]

I use 2 dxNothing regions and 4 stacked SWTOR regions total of 6 regions. I’m not set up to change leader/focuse at this point so I only need to see my three followers. When isBoxer 4.0 is released I will set a 4th viewer in region 5.

When working with regions I found the “top” and “left” the easiest regions to work with because the top left positions never change there original X,Y. So when I’m editing video FX’s I can simply expand the region without changing the region position. So in my Region 6 I would pull down the bottom region handle half way down, edit/save my objects and return the region to the original position.

Another thing to consider is the size of your stacked SWTOR windows. Smaller resolutions = higher FPS.

Hi Dark, curious how you solved this issue.

Group seems to be sorted first by level, and second by name; do you just have who to target for /follow [and heals] hard coded per slot?
[edit: on second look, maybe they are sorted by creation date; might have just worked out that way for mine...anyone know, definitively?]

I was thinking of maybe making ATG's to set who to follow, when [based on what slot the leader is in], but it seems kind of cumbersome, if workable. Not sure if theres a better solution to healing rather than just hard-coding it; and hoping they don't get staggered in levels.

Hmm. Man, we really could use macro's. and working follow; boxing two is pretty easy, but getting 4 organized and headed in the same direction [issues of follow aside] seems pretty complicated atm.

Sorting is weird, I had a team named Axxxx,Bxxx,Cxxx,Dxxx. and the sorting by name didn't work.
One thing I noticed was that I created them in this order B,A,C,D and that's how they sorted ingame. So i think sorting might be off a UUID we can't see. So when you create a team create it in the order you want. -- "I have not experimented with this too much"

Healing: There is no macro system so yes its all hard coded per toon.

I have a PowerTech Tank, and 3 Mercenary Healers. Any time i rollover a heal region my 3 healers target and heal.

Darkmod, I really like the way you put in visuals with annotations.

I have been reading up on dxnothing and modding things via this topic: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1222

THANKS.
