Follow issue with EMA and ISboxer itself

[pusatli]

i have problems with following via EMA and isboxer itself. when i try following with EMA some of my characters are following, some of them are not. If they are same realms or in same raid group, its ok. But if they are 2x4 group, then some of them are not following and make me mad.
I also created multi-PC configuration. When i try following with isboxer itself, only a few of my characters are following. Maybe i changed something wrong while setting up (i have 32 characters.16 of them running at main pc and 16 of them are running at slave pc. When i create character sets for both pc, i'm getting error which is duplicate FTL error (while doing export all to inner space on all computers ) . So i changed all my character's FTL different combinations. Then it is exported and my problem is solved. But now i cannot use isboxer's follow. It was okay while i run single PC with 16 characters)

Sorry for bad English. Can someone help me?

If i recall, ftl with all the different possible modifiers only support up to 24, or was it 26 key combinations / characters.

Personally i changed my setup way back because of this and now im using the oldschool method of:

F1: straight broadcast. Main game: /clearfocus. The slaves: /focus nameofyourmain

F2: /clearfocus on this character. This is now your new main. slaves: /focus nameofthischaracter.

Etc...


F1-f10
Shift + f1-f10
Ctrl + f1-f10
Shift + ctrl + f1-f10

This gives room for 40 characters.

/follow focus
(tip: use a step nr two here = /press the setview macro or keybind).

/assist focus.....target... @focus etcetc
/castsequencemacro

You also want a spesific keybind like: /assist focus.
This is handy if you need the slaves to target a npc/vendor, then you press the interact with target keybind, if you want.

Stuff like that..


If you decide to go this route, you ofcourse will need to disable ftl on isboxer / ema /jamba addon.

Also, you will have to switch over to the other pcs mouse and keyboard, as needed, as you cant bring up your slaves screen and drive it on your main pc, if that slave belongs on a different computer. Ofcourse, any slave you play on a different pc, gets swapped to play on a bottom monitor that belongs to that pc.

thank you for reply. @mirai says: https://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=9620
its really 63 different combinations for FTL stuff. But i have no idea about limitations. Thank you for your suggesting. Its already really confusing for me with isboxer's default settings. What i want is that im gonna press Alt + F, then all characters follow that character. Thats it.This is hard to setup?

It failed, so i tried EMA's follow. My characters are all different realms. So im phasing alot ( english,german,spanish,french realms). Consider a team 2x english, 2x italian, 2x french, 2x spanish realm characters. When im questing (2x4 group), i hit EMA follow keybind. Some of them following, some of them are not. If i regroup all of them ( 8 of them are in same group), EMA follow is working. This situations make me crazy

Alright.

Well, having chars on multiple realms can be problematic. If they arent at or have completed the same quests... you fly over certain world quests...you cross into a spesific area....you fly across the line from one zone to another... can break follow and phase (character vanishes) and maybe you have to disband all... then create a large raidgroup... now you can see all again... disband... then create the different parties again. It can be annoying.

Well, you could always just create a new straight broadcast key and assign it to a macro /follow nameofmain. If you need a last ditch effort solution.

Just make sure first alt+f isnt already keybinded ingame and in isboxer to something. Alt+f does seem... pretty sure that keybind got a default function.. but i dont remember. Sadly im not home so cant really help properly.


I checked your link, a reply said:
"/e [bob]: the 63 combos has been tested, and while factually correct, the configuration of such runs out of macro space at about toon 24, so ISBoxer does not attempt to use the necessary mod/nomods to make it work. If you are mass multiboxing, you will need to come up with a method that works for you".


‐------------------
Btw, are you able to see any error messages on a slave, when it isnt following?

Sidenote: when you enter each game for the first time, does it state any conflicts with isboxer in the chat frames?


*****Nvm, i see you figured out your issue******
