BattleNet Troubles

[pkling]

I think I figured out why people have difficultly with PwnBoxer and BattleNet to auto select the account to play with out prompting after entering in password.

It has to do with order of accounts in SET accountList from the Config.WTF file.
If I launch with standard WoW launcher. Here is what my list looks like if I select PKWOWCOW to play. I have 6 accounts on a single BattleNet user name.

note: for what ever reason the forum is messing with the display of PKWOWCOW5 there is no spaces in it

• SET accountList "PKMANLT|!PKWOWCOW|PKWOWCOW2|PKWOWCOW3|PKWOWCOW4|P KWOWCOW5|"
  

If I use PwnBoxer the line looks like:

• SET accountList "!PKWOWCOW|PKMANLT|PKWOWCOW2|PKWOWCOW3|PKWOWCOW4|P KWOWCOW5|"
  

If I use PwnBoxer and select PKWOWCOW2 the line looks like:

• SET accountList "!PKWOWCOW2|PKMANLT|PKWOWCOW|PKWOWCOW3|PKWOWCOW4|P KWOWCOW5|"
  

So therefore my conclusion is PwnBoxer automatically moves the account selected to the beginning of list. Unfortunately when WoW sees this is knows the accounts have to be a particular order so it prompts the users a dialog to select the correct account after entering in password.

I have another unique problem. I only play 5 of 6 accounts at a time from the same BattleNet user. So I ended up having to set up #1 to PKMANLT (raid char) then 2 to 6 to PKWOWCOW's (5 shammys). So now I have an extra window just to get the whole list populated with all my accounts. If one of the accounts is out of order or missing WoW will prompt the user to select which account to play after entering in with password and authenticator.

I think you may have to basically create a new screen or something that has a list of battle nets and a list of accounts for each battle net. The list of accounts would have to be entered in the correct order. So when PwnBoxer creates the Config.wtf it can populate the list correctly. Having these two lists would solve people that have 2 or more battle nets and it would also solve my problem where I only have 5 of 6 accounts playing from a battle net at a time.

If you want Tim I live in Minnesota; I work in Bloomington I could demo my trouble for you.

Good Luck

Is there a way to remove accounts from that list, for instance, mine consists of just trials i used before i started a brand new account. I don't play on using those, is that something i have to contact blizzard for?

You'll need to call Blizzard to remove those accounts from Battlenet.

Whoa this is a great thread! I'm going to get some sleep and take a look at it and see where I'm going wrong here. It has been hard to track this down because I myself use 1 b.net account per WoW account.

Okay so I looked and yup, I specifically had Pwnboxer move the specific character to the front with a !. So if this isn't the proper order, then I think we should figure out what order Blizzard wants them to be in.

Okay so that might be the situation. So to make things easy, lets try and figure out how WoW is ordering things. Alphabetical?

[Heartspark]

Well my order is by when account was created. For instance my main account was first, then it lists 4 trial accounts.

Where are you pulling the list from? If you are pulling it from the same config file that the OP mentioned then you shouldn't have to reorder at all. Just respect the order of the initial list and insert the char in front of the account before writing it out.

Anyway I really don't know how it's suppose to work(just working off what I read here). The easiest thing to do would to just add some trial accounts to one of your B.Net accounts Tim so you have a test environment.

My list is order I created the accounts in and also happens to be the order I added to BattleNet.

Here is another thought I had while sleeping. What would happen if instead of asking account names just launch wow with out that account stuff. Have the check box checked to save login information (what ever it is called). Then when the user finishes the loging in; PwnBoxer could reread WTF and populate list. The very first time PwnBoxer would have to pause before launching all the WoWs and allow the user to enter in credentials then parse out the WTF then launch next WoW. This sounds a little difficult I think. Maybe there is a way to make WoW use different config.wtf like config.1.wtf and config.2.wtf. I think the parsing would be easier if you could run multiple wtf's

Just another thought I had

[Lindline]

Just to confirm... it ISNT alphabetical right?

[pkling]

Mine happen to be in alphabetically order but that is also the order I created and added to BattleNet. I don't know if we should just go off my list. Does anyone else have information that is contrary to alphabetical?
