Issue with spells and pwnboxer

[singen]

So I just purchased pwnboxer and its quite neat so far..however I have one issue: it doesn't work all the time. Some of my abilities work like mounting, following, assist,focus, etc however sometimes my spells don't work at all. I'm running 2 locks and from what I can see the keybindings are set in pwnboxer but they don't always work.

I set my spells as ctrl+1 through 5 and shift. Sometimes they work on the slave but sometimes (more often than not) they don't.

Would it be best to create my own key bindings or is this an a common issue? Right now I'm using the default key bindings and I just added a few of my own to the end of the list.

Thanks for the help.

hey welcome, i take it your playing wow, are your useing macios as u need to target the monster?

whats your system spec? are u getting a lot of lag? there could be many ways why its not working i do not think pwnboxer is doing this really, could be a ingame prob and or system or maybe just a lot of lag and sure we work it out just need some more info on what your doing

[singen]

yes Im playing wow. Im using the focus, assist focus macros and its targeting mobs fine (although sometimes it takes a seconds..I'm assuming its lag).

My system is pretty decent. Well its good enough to play wow
CPU - E6400 Core 2 Duo @ stock (Zalman CNPS9500) | Asus P5W DH Deluxe
OCZ PC2-8000 Platinum XTC 2GB (2x1024MB) | Radeon x800xl
WD Raptor 36gb, WD Black 1tb | Corsair 620HX 620W
X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS | Win Vista home premium

Ive also got the in game settings to the lowest possible and resolution 800x600. Anymore details you need just let me know.

it could be lag though wow does not use that much bandwich but if your a long way from the server then it could be

well the thing is that some of the abilities work 100% of the time while others are kind of random. For instance mounting,eating,drinking, and pet attack always work where most of my curses and damage spells dont and life tap hasn't worked once. Could it be because I'm using the default keybindings? I know it doesn't matter what ability I use..it should work regardless since pwnboxer has nothing to do with what spells or ability's you use. So I'm assuming it has something to do the the keybindings I have in pwnboxer...if that make sense.

a good test to try stuff is configue keys then goto tab 2 and bordcast all but then put nothing in the box then try the spells u can add keys not all keys are set to bordbard u have to do it by hand as for drinking it happons sometimes on mine so i made a marcio /use "the drink" seems to work better

This may seem stupid to ask, but what key bindings are you using and did you add them if they aren't part of the Basic Key Broadcasting configuration AND is it the same key binding on all Toons?

I sort of did this same thing when I started using PwnBoxer, but I didnt realize it until I figured out that keyboard turning was breaking my follow, GG@Me.

Yup it sounds like you either don't have those keys set up in pwnboxer, or you dont have the in-game mappings/macros/etc set up.

I get a similar kind of issue. If I was alt-tabbed to Firefox or another application and then minimize that app. I get "Invalid target" for all my offensive spells even if the correct mob is targeted.

To correct it, I have to give each slave copy of WoW focus (by clicking on it once) and only then will i be able to cast offensive spells.

It's only a small problem and easily correct. Kinda weird tho.

If your slaves aren't able to get a focus when you're sending the key command for it, just click a diff target and focus that, and then move back.

Often its an issue of lag between the WoW server <-> Client that causes an object ID to not appear within your characters location, making it out of range for focusing.
