PB 2.5 Thread: Report feature requests / bug fixes / etc here!

[Tim]

Hey guys+gals,

Now that the new Pwnboxer has been released, I've closed the old thread and created a new one!

Please use this thread to report:

• Feature Feedback (using something in a fun and unique way?)
• Feature Requests (want something added?)
• Bug Reports (see something that doesn't work right?)

Pwnboxer is a living, breathing program, and lots of the new development comes directly out of requests from people like you. I am an avid multiboxer and have made Pwnboxer my ultimate multiboxing software. With that said, there are many unique ways to multibox and I really depend on feedback from others to add those new methods directly into Pwnboxer.

Have an idea? Lets hear it!

Cheers!

Well one feature I would suggest would be a taskbar avoid option for the window layout. Like a radio box beside the snap to grid slider. that way pwnboxer can get the size of the taskbar on any given resolution, and recalculate the window layout, keeping the side windows even should they be stacked in any given way etc... I have done this manually and can be a pain to get it just right

[Drarkan]

I've noticed now that pwnboxer hides the taskbar. Is there a toggle for this? I manually made room for my taskbar and started the games and noticed it went into hiding.

[Drarkan]

Ok found the taskbar hide option. Now when I turned it off when the game was open, it didn't bring back the taskbar when I closed all games. Guess this is a bug. I worked around it by enabling it again then starting games and closing games, taskbar returned.

Be nice if the taskbar hide/show was hot swappable so you didn't have to close games to make it come back.

Thanks will have a look at it!

Also is there a way to have the windows auto focus only when one of the wow windows is on the top? cause when I change to another program that isn't fullscreen pwnboxer autofocuses to the wow window I mouse over. I have autofocus on when it happens of course.

Saddly this is not something thats easily doable, if it all.
The only way i can think off to pull this off would allmost certainly bring back the active window lag. I wont go into any more details here, but if Tim wants me to try to get this working anyway, ill spend time on it, though changes are grim.

[Drarkan]

Now I don't know coding at all, or even if it's there already, but is it possible to keep the games that pwnboxer opens in a combined instance as if it was running in an emulated environment? So when that is on top the mouseover function to bring that window to the front will only be active when any one of the games is on the top? So when another program is on the top it will not activate the feature? Again I don't know a lick of coding to even think if this would work at all, but I like to think of the possibilities. Might even fix the method two mouse broadcasting if it ran within the bounds of the program?

Key remapping: A feature to add multiple remapping in one action, like

If GAME1, GAME2, GAME3, GAME4, GAME5 Selected, Transform F1 into Shift+F1 on GAME1, GAME2, GAME3, GAME4, GAME5

That way the keyremapping can be done fast if you have a ton of remapping to do, and you can leave out the game you don't want if you so please. Like for formations on any one toon selected as leader, or as I'm testing the FTL feature and changing all the F1-F5 Keys to a shift modifier on all the windows (half working but seems to be some interruption.)

[Drarkan]

Ok tried my FTL feature, noticed that with the F1 keys through to F5 that were set to change my windows, were not all broadcasting probably due to the fact they were being used to change windows, and the characters still had the old focus set, instead of changing to what they were supposed to do.

I have yet another suggestion On window switch, could there be an option to have "also broadcast this key on this keypress"

For example under Configure Fast Game Switch window

Game 1 [F1] also broadcast [F1]
Game 2 [F2] also broadcast [F2]

and so on.

That way you can have in game a macro on the proper bound bar the key being broadcast on the game switch to then broadcast that key. This might help with the change of focus to the main character in the parent window.
