I recently got to lvl 60 and my tank stops tanking right after getting every toon to lvl 60. It was generating threat with "single dmg" button while lvling but now it just goes to berserking stance and tries to dps. Worked well untill I dinged 60. Now tank apparently tries to dps rotation and doesn't taunt if aggro loses
Hi Fury,
I have a 5man multibox setup with your code i've manged to get everything to work and my team is 40lvl+. But How do i make my 2 shamans use different totems for the group? How do I specify my other toon to lets say drop down stoneskin totem and otherone drop down Strenght of earth totem etc.?
sadly changing the 5 man grp to raid doesnt change the issue.
i have been running lbrs for 3-4 days now and have no issue with the 15 man grp there. so dont think its a cpu nor network related.
That vid helps a lot--if that is how your guys are behaving, it is, for sure, the appearance of client lag. It can be slow cpu or network related as far as I can tell.
However, I'm mystified that your 10,15,20 man groups don't exhibit the same behavior. I have never really seen this except with one toon running off on RARE occasion.
Stupid idea--could you change your 5 man party to a raid and try again?
Theres a new post called "weird Problem" who has same issues as i have tried to describe, the video shows same problems as i encounter when running 5 toons. As mentioned before i have never these problems when running 10,15,20 toons.
but 5 man Dire Maul, is very problematic:) when toons run away
that is extremely weird. video?
My latency is between 15-20 at all times.
But when running 15 toons i have no problem with them running around, its only when doing 5 mans.
Honestly those effects sound like a computer having a hard time running 5 boxes. What you are seeing is 5 boxes each with their own (slow) take on what is going on around them. How is your ping?
Not sure if this post still active, gonna try anyway.
i have 15 toons working splendedly with following, but when i go into 5 man dungeons, i have very little control of the 4 i have in group. they will run widely around my main toon, some will be faster to turn around, when i try to get infront of them so they follow again, some will eventually stop running cause they get out of range.
Any idea what causes this?
Good evening Furyswipes,
ok so i got my first 5 toons up and running cleared DM west / north and east till the last boss now im hungry for more and also wanted to check what my current laptop can handle.
so i made 5 more accounts 10 in total at the moment , but when diving back into the
HKN_5man_non4kmonitor file and added the accounts and toon names + the window names , i noticed that the first 5 toons have a certain number behind there names 960 720 480 360 for my tank and so on.
my guess is that this will be the code for the window placements could it be possible to get the numbers for running a 10 man team ?
also added all the namens in the super macro document to get it familiar to grouping up and to have it know all the toons names.
thought lets give it a go i launched hotkeynet and started up the 10 accounts , after adjusting manually the position of all the screens i checked the new 5 man team i made to see if the super macro would have added the macro used to load in the multibox macro but its not showing , am i doing something wrong here or is the macro missing because i messed up the super macro script or the HKN_5man file ?
thanks again in advance
Nico
I think I know what's going on with low level hunters! They don't start out with auto-shot. That means, when you initialize macros, I'm not able to PUT auto-shot in slot 72 (the button above =)
YOU need to put auto-shot in slot 72 manually when you get auto-shot.
Okay, I will create a low-level team this week and see if I can duplicate these issues.
For your hunter, can you confirm that "Auto Shot" is in slot 72 (above the = sign)
I'm actually having a similar issue at low level. Seems that my mage isn't casting (my lock is though). My hunter doesn't shoot his gun either, but he likes to melee. /shrug
Wow, great report! You are my first confirmed customer. But, the mage should always dps like the rest.
You need RAIDWIDE buffs for buffs to work. I don't bother with individual buffs, sorry.
Could it be perhaps that you hadn't focused your mage at the moment he wasn't workign (with alt-4 or alt-1?)
WAUW what a amazing feeling to have a full party and just run around and kill stuff .
ok at the moment i got warriortonk , druid healer , shadow priest , hunter and a mage and im just fooling around getting the hang of the controls of them.
while putting my squad in position and charging in with my warrior everything works just fine druid heals warrior , shadowpriest and hunter start dpsing (amazing dps from shadow priest btw) but my mage stays idle and watches how my other toons are doing there job btw i specced the mage frost maybe that has something to do with it ?
so thats that , another noob question if i press my 1 key to buff up nothing happens yeh mage makes water i got the reagents propably dont have the "raidwide" buffs ?
*edit*
just went into DM and the mages now starts his dps cycle , were outside the instance on the elite ogres he was standing idle
took me a day to get this working but i love it already haha
this is freaking amazing Fury compliments !!!!
Fantastic Nico--
I supported shadow priest for a while ( since I had some early on) but I don't think my code currently supports them. I like your comp very much, though. I think you are doing the right thing with that comp. Druids actually make great healers, but you'll notice I do not call HOTS for druids. I just use healing wave.
Hey Furyswipes ,
First of all what a amazing project your doing here been watching a bunch of videos on youtube and enjoyed it a lot.
i have been playing around with multiboxing in the passed but that was with the help of ISBoxer.
Found the vanillagaming server a few months back played around mostly with 2 toons pocket healer on follow and dps as main toon.
now i have been trying to set up a 5 man party for the last couple of hours with the help of your download packages and so far so good got 5 windows open warrior tank and druid healer as lvl 60 with gear and 3 fresh lvl 1 toons.
ok ill edit this post a bit ok i got 5 toons running also the macros were installed with the double click at the moment im playing around with trying to get all the toons to follow my tank, only thing is my toons keep focussing on my priest instead of my warrior tank.
so i think at this point i can say im at the end of the first "5 minute multiboxing video"
the idea of my 5 toons is to have a warrior tank , druid healer , mage , hunter and a shadowpriest ( mostly to have a toon in the party who can ress sadly the druid can ress 1 toon in 30 minutes)
again i hardly have any experience with scripting and putting it to work with macros slowly getting there only not in the 5 minutes ;)
thanks in advance
Nico
Thanks :)
Hi Hristo--great! you are trying it, that makes me happy...I'm going to make a youtube vid soon walking you through every step of starting out.
The character macros are really important, though. Without them, you're not really multiboxing.
You only need a few:
1-key: /script setup()
2-key: /script single()
3-key: /script multi()
4-key: /script turbo()
5-key: /script aoe()
8-key: /script rezemall()
0-key: /script partyup()
F5-key: /script smartdrink()
F10-key: /clearfocus ; /script followme()
ALSO: VERY IMPORTANT! You must put your attack spell in action bar 72 (just above the = spot)
Hey i just started with hotkeynet as i read everything on your forum and did what is written.
First thing is i'm missing the character macros but i have the ones which are in account macros...
I would like some tips etc.
I'm just gona start with lvling 5 characters right now and i hope raiding soon as i have few chars including heals tanks ;p.
Gonna try change the scripts on my own and not fuckup anything haha gl me
