DynamicBoxer for ISBoxer: Dynamic Teams - alpha/beta tester needed/welcome !

[MiRai]

The way ISBoxer works currently is you need to create a new team for each and every combination of characters you may be multi-boxing with
This addon allows you to create only 1 team per layout and dynamically load any characters you wish into it

I'm not here to detract from your effort to improve multiboxing, but the way that you describe ISBoxer is inaccurate.

In ISBoxer, you only ever need one Character Set, and you are not required to create X amount of Character Sets (or Window Layouts) for the number of possible combinations of Characters you wish to run together, at any given time. However, additional Character Sets can be created if you're changing what's assigned to it—Key Maps, Virtualization, Click Bars, Menus, etc.—but even then, those non-Character assignments can be adjusted with ISBoxer Actions, and still do not require the creation of a new Character Set.

You and I previously discussed some of this in the ISBoxer Discord when you were coming up with this idea, and I outlined the process of swapping out Characters in the Slots of your Character Set, exporting, performing a /reload in game to refresh the macros, and then playing—all of which should take approximately sixty seconds or less.

I still believe there are going to be deeper underlying issues with this add-on when it comes to custom changes in an ISBoxer profile, as well as more advanced setups, but I'll save them for another time, so as to not drown out the thread.

Also, this is an add-on, and so I've moved it to the add-on forum category.

Whether it's creating new teams or just creating new characters or changing your one pro team manually and then having to re-export, and in game reload; what my addon tries to demonstrate is that all those steps are unnecessary, even if a pro can do them in less than a minute (I can't)

By the way even the Pro system could also benefit from automatically switching class or spec without having to alt-tab out of game to isboxer suite, changing things there, exporting, reloading all windows; when you can just logout the 1 character you want to change (or change spec for pro)

But I'm mostly trying to make the most simple cases work for now (as I didn't know about "pro" until today!), my use case is I have a lot of teams, I create new teams (which means I create new characters) all the time, and I don't want to have to create in game, then exit, go to isboxer, do the setup etc etc... I just want to reuse the existing working setup with whichever toon are logged in or just created.

Again that's just an option, anyone is free to continue using what they want, the way they want, but for folks who want a bit (or a lot) more dynamic and faster setup, maybe give it a shot. If I get around maybe a short video would help demonstrate the value?

I'd like to keep this thread about feedback about the addon rather than nitpicking terminology or fight about philosophy of boxing, I think there is room for more than 1 way of doing things, and the more should be hopefully the merrier
