[Addon] Multiboxer V2

[BodyART]

I certainly don't have problems! not anymore, not since finding out about Multiboxer v2.

I'm a new wow multi-boxer. I was interested in multi-boxing wow a week ago(after too long dual and triple boxing EQ,EQII, and DAoC), and the new RAF program made me leap at the opportunity to 5-box. I'm starting off small, however, and i'm 3-boxing first(Although I did run out and get four copies of wow battlechest, hhehe. best buy had it on sale for 29.99). I have a beefy quad-core pc and have all 3 clients running on one box flawlessly. My problem WAS(and stress "was") that sometimes combat would not end all the time for all 3 characters, and often autofollow would not resume after combat. I was upset, and pretty much resolved myself to manually taking my crew out of combat and hiting my autofollow key(using keyclone).

Multiboxer fixed both those problems. no idea what caused my autoattack lock issue, but I haven't had it since I installed multiboxer. I'm still learning the ropes, and I have a lot to learn both about multiboxing and about wow in general. I played wow off and on with a single account since the stress test weekends in 2004, but ultimately moved on to EQ2. I don't regret the move, but i'm finding it far more exciting now playing wow with a full team at my disposal than I ever did in eq2 dual-boxing.

As to the demise of multiboxer, I'll fight tooth and nail to prevent that. I have a past in coding, although currently I'm working a job out of the computer field so my skills aren't being upkept. I never did program in LUA, but have experience in python, VB/VBS, C/C++, and java. I might be willing to contribute to furthuring multiboxer if there is a need, if smurfy doesn't step back.

note: after posting I saw your post smurfy. offer stands open if you or anyone needs help coding for the forseeable future. I took some time to play AoC. I am a huge Robert E. Howard fan, and a big fan of conan. I was really excited about the game and absolutely LOVED the game world, combat mechanics, and all the fantastic art detail at launch. I was playing very happily for several weeks, until funcom started their gestapo-esk regime of bi-weeky nerfs and they redefined many of the classes. I played a ToS and was in agreement I was overpowered. by the time I quit I went from being able to solo clear a camp of 9 mobs to not being able to take on two without nearly dying. So much for the concept of an AoE healer. :P So I left. I opted for a better solution to my mmo needs, and found myself playing on an old school private EQ server for a week. then I came back to WoW. hehe. I think the RAF promotion will keep me easily for the 90 day triple xp bonus, which takes us into WotLK, which should keep me longer. looks like I"M BACK.

Hey Smurfy,

Good to have you back. Was getting worried

If/When Multiboxer breaks for WotLK; hopefully you'll be around and willing to fix it. I have access to the beta if you want it tested btw. Problem is I have only account to mess around with.

Even though it has an ugly gray box for it's background I like this addon. I love the auto-accept functions of it more than anything. It is nice to be able to 'share quest' and it just gets shared and you can see it update right there in the quest window. In the event suggestions are considered I would like to suggest adding a function that will let you abandon quests across all toons. I am lately finding I pick up a lot of quests and with RAF level so quick I end up having a huge mess to clean up. It would be nice to be able to abandon a quest from the main and ask you if you want to abandon it from the group as well. Not sure if that is even possible but I was thinking about that the other day when my quest logs seem to be in a constant full state.

I second that request - I would love to have the option to mass abandon a quest!

Also, being able to change the transparency/size of the gray window would be great.

Thanks for this addon - it is excellent!

hey, i know the development is currently stalled,

i am still new to multiboxing and shortly after starting multiboxing i started playing AoC
now i'm back in WoW but currently playing only my Main and my Multiboxing accounts a frozen.

but i think i will get back to multiboxing aswell.

a and by the way if you have "new" feature requests feel free to add them to the wiki (link in my sig)

Smurfy,

Glad you are back. Just wanted to offer you my help with development. I've been starting to get into addons to do something very similar to what your's does. While I'm just ramping up on WoW addon writing, I'm a Software Engineer so I'm confident I'll be up to speed quickly. Just let me know if you are cool with help and I can look at getting some of the new features in.

Souca - good to see another Seattle-ite here

Do you work at the big M as well? (Evil Empire, that is)...

[Arryth]

I just want to take a moment to thank you for this add on. I love it. Keep up the good work.

Ha. No, I used to work at the big A (sweatshop IMHO) and now I work at the big D, but most people don't even know D is here >.<

I updated the wiki with a few of the latest suggestions.
I'm too lazy to go back through the whole thread and document them all though. :P

Another one: bring back the old "auto accept escort quest" option. Current system doesn't work for those. It accepts them fine but the 4 alts don't get credit. 100% reproducable.
