[Addon] Multiboxer V2

[Fizzler]

Quick query as I seem to have an issue when after I'm done with a boxing session and log out - the next time I come to play all the settings have been reset. Is there a save button I'm missing? I go to chose their profile and its blank :/

The grey box I always move it to the bottom corner of my screen... but that always returns to the rest position.

Any help appreciated :)

...its also started to reset itself during when im online >.< :(

Resetting when it's online I can't help you with, but I've had addons with corrupted savedvariables files that won't save, and so, generate the default saved variables whenever I log... You should probably try to delete the savedvariables file for it.

Just a small thing with my favourite addon - when will the ugly grey box disappear? Can we make it transparent? or be able to resize somehow? It's just aesthetics :) Also, a nice feature would be to somehow hotkey the follow after combat option : for instance if I'm just mowing down mobs for dailies I want my alts to follow after combat, bet when I'm instancing I definately don't because the after combat follow kicks in even if I'm still in combat sometimes which leads to wipes.

I went in and manually modified the background color... along with the green color... and the name showing... and added names to some of the frames so they can be modified live, lol. If it's still the same, and if this helps, my line 1122 is what's changing my BG color.... I didn't bother to comment it, or remember how it originally was...

f:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0,.1);

It's not tough to go in and modify the colors though, just search for "color" in the LUA ^_^


(what mine looks like right now, doesn't show that the green for "following" is white now though XD)

Very nice, thanks for the tip. BTW really nice UI setup u have there, what are you using for the party bars? I like the way they're out of the way but still really visible.

I wanted a transparent background. I went into MultiBoxer.lua and changed line 1121 from

f:SetBackdrop({ bgFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background", tile = true, tileSize = 16})

To:

f:SetBackdrop({ bgFile = "", tile = true, tileSize = 16})

I made a few font changes and dumped some text all together.

I use an eepanels like mod for backgrounds now.

I know next to nothing about LUA and addon developement in general but it seems to work.

Make sure you back up the orginal addon folder incase you need to restore it.

You can mess around with Width and Height around Line 1051 and 1052.

I use Notepad++ to edit the file it formats it nicely and numbers the rows.

Confused here, Have you released this yet?

Sorry to souund like a n00b to this....probably becasue i am

I am guessing this could be my own unique problem but is anyone having issues with not being able t re-located multiboxer's window? No matter if I have it locked or unlocked, I can't get it to move.

[Leyuna]

have you tried pressing ALT?

[lacitpo]

I really thought I had but I'm a moron. Thanks for the tip that I am a moron for not figuring out.

Okay, so I wanted a couple features and added them in. If smurfy gives his okay I'll release the version I have once I add a few more cosmetic things for myself. Here's a screenshot, it's not much... basically you can change the color via the gui and show/hide xp and xp percent, and I consolidated some display options in the settings page.



I think I'm going to add a border or something, and next is probably a transparency option. Smurfy, if you see this, PM me, I can just give you the changes I've made, if you're still developing this addon.

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!

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.

I'm gonna be working on questing code for my addon this weekend. If I get a solution for abandoning a quest on all characters I will be sure to share it for Multiboxer if Smurfy is still working on it. I'll also take a peek at escort quests, but I don't have this problem for some reason.

While I'm working on those, are there any other pressing requests?

As far as I can tell the current "shared quests" system accepts the escort quest ok; i.e. it shows up in their quest log. However they don't get credit when the quest is over. The main does however. I think it's because the 4 alts accept the quest a split-second after the main does, and the quest guy usually started his I'm-walking-off-now routine by then.

However if I start the escort quest on just the main, the "X is starting Escort Quest Y" prompt pops up on the alts. And I can just accept those by using the accept-all macro.

Older versions of Multiboxer just auto-accepted those. Current version doesn't.

Problem occurs on every single escort quest. Can reproduce it 100% (if I find an escort Q that is). Happens for me and the other multiboxers on my server. Not a huge issue but annoying when you have to do the escort walk all over again.

good to see some dev on this I mentioned this before but I would really like toggable auto follow after combat even if it's just a script line like /script mb follow off. The prob I have is that in instances with the combat follow on somehow the alts get the idea that I'm not in combat even when I am and so follow the brain even after only killing 1 mob, this has caused a couple of wipes. I know I could go to each screen and toggle it manually at the start of an instance but I'm lazy plus it is the kind of thing you want to turn off and on quickly

Ooh, that would be great indeed.
