*BATTLE.NET BUG* W/Updated Pwnboxer

[TheMuffinMan]

Tim,

When you creating WoW accounts directly through the new battle.net, (instead of creating them and adding them after the fact) it adds them to your account and names them thusly:

WoW1
WoW2
WoW3 etc... (i have 3 named like this)

However when I add my account names like this in the new version of Pwnboxer they show correctly in PB but when I start my game, it does a UCASE (capitalizes) the whole account string into WOW1, WOW2, WOW3 etc... This causes battle.net to think my accounts in my config.wtf file are wonky and makes the popup appear for me to manually chose one of my accounts.

If you need more details or more documentation let me know

I thought WoW automatically captilized all the account names? I might have been mistaken

Do this: Edit your config.wtf and just delete the line with your game names. Then load wow manually, start it, and log in. Then exit. Then go back to the config.wtf. Can you confirm that wow makes it CaSe SenSITive?

Thanks!

I checked this for you.

SET accountList "!MYFIRSTACCOUNT|WoW1|WoW2|WoW3|WoW4|"

SET accountList "MYFIRSTACCOUNT|!WoW1|WoW2|WoW3|WoW4|"

It seems those WoW1, WoW2 etc are CaSe SenSiTIve with little o's. And ! marks the default account.

I had already done this and tested and confirmed before posting.

It used to be the case WoW forced uppercase on account names pre-BattleNet, but when you create/activate a copy of WoW directly through BattleNet it assigns successive names literally as WoW1, WoW2, WoW3.

I take it for the autofill to work as intended you can only have user accts listed that are actually on that bnet acct? I have tried it as many ways as possible under the current version and still end up having to click the acct name in the list.

Normally if you have 1x bnet acct with multiple wow accts you just have to have all of the users (case sensitive) that are listed. If you have multiple bnet accts with 1 or 2 wow accts on each it adds a whole new hurdle. In that you would have to list seperate wow accts per game login. I have tried combining names so all of them are in the 1 list that PB provides but I can't really test if that will work until the case sensitive WoW1, thing is corrected.

I also had to manually click all the accounts to log in.

The way i solved this was that i added ALL the wow accounts on the b.net account, into the PB config. I have 8, but i only use 5 of them for multiboxing.
So when i added the last 3 to the list in PB it solved it

You didn't need to add them directly to the pb config, you can do it through the interface inside PB. This isn't a bug, unless you have all of the accounts for that bnet account listed, WoW will force you to "pick" a name from the list (which behind the scenes rewrites your config.wtf file in your WoW WTF directory)
