[Addon] Multiboxer V2

[Icetech]

Small prob, i just installed the new one .4 or whatever... and when we get on a bird it constantly says im already mounted in read on all the toons...

also, did you remove it auto taking quests? not taking what the main takes but just like turning in one and it would auto take the next ihn the chain?

and now its telling me non stop for the last 10 mins "you are already there"

Downloaded this addon and tried it out with two characters. Not sure if this is the case or not, but whenever the "slave" was party leader he would often not be able to re-follow the specified leader after combat. If said leader was the actual party leader the "slave" would re-follow after combat flawlessly. Just curious if anyone else ran into this, not a major issue it's just I decided to use raid target icons to visually mark what the slave was targetting. Since I don't really need to use the raid targets I have the slave mark the current targeted mob with a raid icon to make sure he's got the right one. In order for that to work the slave needs to be partyleader, of course there are addons that allow others to set raid icons so I'll look into that as well. But if you can duplicate what I said then it should be noted as a bug and addressed when there is time.

~~
So I looked through the code a bit and realized the autofollow after combat is working as intended. I assume this was coded this way as people maybe use leadership to specify to the addon who is the current leader. Which is fine as I can use a raid target addon to allow others to mark targets. And this would be needed for boxing more then 2 toons.

@shockbeta
thanks for the info, i will change that. if autofollow is enabled it "should" refollow the defined leader. regardless he is the groupleader or not.

@Icetech
do you press any key? and where does it display the messages?

[Icetech]

Smurf, i open the flight path window on all the toons, click where i wanna go on the main toon, they all take flight.. but on all their screens i get the msg's constantly like where you would normally get a raid warning.. i do a /reloadui to fix it, and sorry im not being more specific.. long day and im not logged int atm

Yeah but this might be a nice option for players that switch there main often. With how it works now you can toggle everyone to follow there specified leader, and only non leaders will follow. So when you switch your main you would add in PromoteToLeader the new main and everyone would follow the new leader. Another way to do this internally as opposed to switching leadership would be to allow multiple leaders to be stored and add the ability to keybind to specify a leader. You press the key and it switches what leader is considered the main. You could even sync leaders amongst the group so only one person had to have the keybind.

The first method you get access to PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED event and could redo autofollow, but with second method you would be writing the lua so you would already have access of knowing when the leader changed and redo autofollow for new leader. So really second method would probably be better, even if you didn't broadcast new leader to other addons.

Quick question to the OP's OP..
Skimming I saw "see the xp of your slaves." I don't want to seem to skeptical ( i love the idea), but with the recent events that have flooded the cs forum, would this be considered data mining? or is the addon meant to just "see" it on your other clients?

one mod i think is very very handly and fits right into this mod is something i use called GetVendored, when you open up a vendor window on a character with the mod it automatically sells all your grey items, saving endless amounts of time you spend going thru your bags selling these items

0.5 on the way (in the next two days i guess)

Upcoming features:
- Pitbull Party XP bar (seperate addon, but needs MultiBoxer)
- View the Bags of the slaves/alts

Ok here a info about the bag view:

If you start a trade with one of your alts, you could see the inventory of your alt on your mains screen.
a click on a item will place it to the trade window.

my question now is, is that ok or do you will see the inventory anytime. if so, how do you open the inventory of your alt?
slash command? icon? whatever

if you have an idea say it, if not i will keep the if tradewindow opend mechanism

I think your bag idea is good. How I manage at the moment is to simply open trade and then work on the window of the clone to do that trade part. I think this will be another small thing to save me time. I trade at least once with all my clones per session so this should be good.

BTW, I am loving this mode, saves me heaps of time on all the little annoying things.
