[Addon] Multiboxer V2

[razorbax]

Hey Guys,

Got to say I love this addon. I was thinking of a feature request but I am not sure if it is posible. Basically you know how we always have issues with specific group healing and the positions of party members etc. Well I was thinking, is it posible to store the party members of the "Leader" as global variables, or whatever the term is, and share them with the slaves.
EG.
p1=Razor1=Master
p2=Razor2
etc. This way you have the ability to party heal according to the display order of the party on the Master. You could then use p1 p2 etc in macro's.

Is it posible to do this?

Not sure I get the jist. You can already target based on Party numbers. The leader is always party1 and the rest fall in line in the order they were invited in the group. I have a simple /invite macro that invites in the same order each time as long as I am attentive to the party order I could target based on party numbers. In the mod readme I believe there is a /script for assigning party1 on the fly. I have not tried it though.

The Party Order is always listed in Reverse Order of the creation date of the player. This isn't an issue if you 5-box, but if you only Dual-Quad Box then the party orders can vary greatly form what your Master see's to what your slave does.

I actually just did post on it that may explain better.

Wow I never knew this. Very important information as I was looking to change some of my macro's to use party2/3 etc.

My characters happen to be in the order of their creation so I never noticed.

Thanks for the info. I wonder how mods like liteassist target and assign assist maybe they are doing something that might translate into what we are wanting

hey,

about MultiBoxer:
as pulakiyah wrote, i just added multiboxer to cursegaming, i also try to get a version management up and running (curse or wowace)
i'm also in contact with Stompp, he will release a new version after tweaking some stuff.

about the Party Stuff:
its not possible to create a "P1" or other thing in macros. but it could be possible to create dynamic macros (out of combat) which switches the target.
i changed yesterday all "master" stuff to "focus" here what i do in detail:

i use 3 boxing on the same machine with octopus.
i have F5,F6,F7 to change my PiP.
each char has 3 macros for F5,6,7. For PiP shortkey F5 the F5 window has a macro which clears the focus for that window and the other 2 chars have on F5 /Focus <name of char 1>
same goes for F6 and F7.

So i could Press F6, octopus changes window to char 2 and char 1 and char 3 changes because of the F6 keypress the focus to char 2 and char 2 clears its own focus.
And i have a key which do a /follow focus

it works like a charm. i guess it also works without the pip feature.

Sounds great with some updates

Whoever this is for, Stompp or you Smurfy, i'll write it here. I am not sure if it's even possible, but I really like the way this addon get the whisper relay done! Thumps up! Anyway, I have the clickable version of whisper toggled and it would be awesome if I could avoid clicking the "author name" to rewhisper. Instead I'd like to be able to use the "Chat Reply" function, which is already implented in WoW .. which allows me to sign a keybinding, so I can rewhisper to the person, which whispers me.

That would be rather dificult given the range of macro's that we all use. Is it posible to set up a macro template in the mod itself where we use the variable where we want it and then the mod writes the correct macro?

Is this something you guys would like to add?

Is the Raid Warning Follow break option working for anyone. I had it working once a long time ago and even after this new load it still does not work for me. i dumped the WTF and started from scratch and still nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

@Fizzler

its working for me, but i had some problems with it myself, and i will change some stuff on that function i a couple of days, so try a later version. as i can say, Multiboxer sends the warning to the default raidwarning channel. so i guess some raid addon / move anything addon changed something?

@razorbax

1. WoW Restrictes macros and spells are only could cast by a button press.
2. Macros could be edited by Addons, but only if you out of Combat.

So i think your feature request is PVE only, because Restriction 2. make it very hard to do dynamic macro changing because you 90% in combat while doing PvP.
Ok i understand you problem like this:
If you use party1...4 for your healmacros you always have to relearn which user is which on the healer slave, if you use Playernames you are able to heal your master and slaves, but you cant heal your guild/pug members.

So as you can't trigger because of restriction 1 you slave to heal playerX you have to alter the macros on the slave. the easiest way could be you have one heal button and 4 dynamic target buttons. the 4 targeting buttons are bound to a macro which will be created/altered by an addon.
Another way is that the Master stores some kind of macro library for the slaves and you could use an update macros on slaves button.

I think its could be possible to create a addon or feature to multiboxer which allows the master to create the macro templates (i think the macro completly but with a special TAG in it which will be replaced with the playername of the masters playerorder)
I will doing some testing this week and hope i could add a feature like that in the future.

I think I love you Smurfy. I was interested in this for purely PVE. I know the restrictions in combat and I see this as being set up when you join a group. No need to change after that

PS. I am only after button press macro's, not automation. I want to fill up my X-Keys Pro
