Is Boxer breaks Mouse Broadcasting after a few changes

[scotv453]

Hello,
I was wondering someone could assist with this problem. Maybe point me in the right direction. I use Is Boxer, and I am fairly new. I have read documents, and even different forums to help me with setting this up. Now I have looked at even more stuff to fix my problem. Unfortunately I did not find my answer.

I play two mages. And I have two profiles. One for my fire mages and another when I want to play frost. I created my profile from is boxer using the wizard. I am not ready to just make up my own. So anyways,I have one machine and 2 monitors. Granted one moniter is a 24 inch and the other is a 17. Still when I use the wizard and don't make changes, everything works great, but not how I want it. I have aoe/non-aoe-only-need-1-application spells that are either round robin (pet freeze, nova, cone of cold, counterspell, poly, etc). Then I have ground spells that I want to cast together like blizzard or blastwave sometimes. I know that the mappings and broadcasting work with fresh profile. I tried it because the manual told me to .

The problem is when I am doing a trial and error, I never get the desired results from ground aoe's where I have to click the ground to finish the spells. I would go through my trial and error phase of changing then exporting. Then a little later I would have to turn of then on the ingame key mapper button to get it back to working right. Don't know why. Then a little later after more changes my aoe circle is now out of sync with each other. So no matter where I move the cursor on the current session screen, the inactive one is out of sync, or will not show a circle at all (due to cursor being out of view?) Very weird, and most of all very frustrating.

So, how do I fix this issue with the mouse getting out of sync? And is it clear to why this is happening? I would like to avoid this.

I do know I can wipe my profile from isboxer toolkit and start a new wizard. But the thing is I don't want to keep doing that. I have done that 14 times (and counting until someone have an answer) and stuck back at the same place I was before.

FYI, most of my aoe key maps were copies of the round robin and aoe examples that are created for you.

Not a whole lot of IS Boxer support on this site, this is the place to be for Pwnboxer support. I'll see if I can help you, but dual-boxing (to a lesser extent) and isboxer (both www and .com) are much better sites for IS Boxer support in the future.



Just to be clear...

You run the wizard, and from a fresh profile without modifications, the mouse broadcasting works fine. As in you can do a ground target effect such as Blizzard and the two toons are in sync with each other, there is a fake cursor on the slaves screen which hits almost the same area as the master/active toon (multiple slaves should be exactly in sync with each other, because they are all following the master and overlap, but master will be slightly ahead of the slaves, so their targeting circle is slightly off).

But then you modify the profile the wizard has given you, and after your customization the mouse broadcasting is out of sync and sometimes you cannot see the cursor on the slave's monitor?

What are you doing to modify/customize your profile?





This is how I generally do ground target effects:

For ground target effects, I usually create an action target group, which is one of the bottom options from the top pane of the IS Boxer Toolkit. Just right click, new ATG, name it, and drag toons from "characters" in the top pane onto the ATG.

I personally have all of my AoE effects on one of: "4" (FTL DPS 4), "5" (FTL DPS 5), or "Shift A" (a General Mapped Key, I have made). In the case of 4 & 5, I've checked the box for "Send Next Click", and selected an ATG as the target. These ATG's are Ground_4 and Ground_5 (but the name can be anything), similarly my Shift A mapped key sends the next click to the Ground_ShA ATG. I check the KVM mode, to block the click in the local window (basically so if I have a mixed group, the active toon does not click anywhere, but all members of the group receive the click -- even the active toon if they're in the group... which means my tank won't accidently target something, but all AoE casters in the character set AoE properly).

You can use a Save View command, within Warcraft. And include the command: /Script SetView(4);SetView(4) in your macro, so your slaves and master sync their respective camera angle when you activate the mapped key. This can be done with a IS Boxer macro or with a Warcraft macro.

Cross Posting, from the IS Boxer forum, in case anyone has the same issue and finds this post.

The fix was to ensure Instant Swap was enabled, in the Window Layouts. And that both warcraft windows were set to the same resolution.
