Team Malaias - FTL Setup

[pkling]

Does the key mapping work at all? I did the whole FTL setup like i have from another program. With no luck. Therefore I striped out everything. This my current setup.
If "Game 5" selected, transform "1" into "Ctrl+J" on "Game 1".
I have tried it with 1 being in the broadcast list with Ctrl+J in broadcast list.

If i have Ctrl+J on the broadcast list and I press Ctrl+J from #5 then 1 does what is suppose to. But if I press 1 on #5 then nothing happens on #1

It took me a few tries before it worked. I have another thread in this forum that shows how I struggled and also thought PwnBoxer was broken.

My mistakes:

• I forget to make sure that Ctrl, Shift, Alt weren't configured by WoW for auto-loot, self-cast and focus-cast keys.
• I also feel like I had to completely exit WoW and restart PwnBoxer and explicitly load my .pbcfg configuration before it really seemed to work. But this was probably because I was editing the .pbcfg file directly.
• I use Bartender (maybe same applies to other action bars), and for the modifiers to work, I had to assign the actual key and not the modifier+key to the action bar. e.g. action bar has "J" and not "Ctrl-J". But this was to make modifiers accessible inside macros.
• I only configure the "master" keys (e.g. "1" and not "Ctrl-J") to be broadcast. And then I have the Key Remapping defined to map "1" to "Ctrl-J".

It definitely works with PwnBoxer for me - that's what I'm using. But I had my doubts initially as well when I simply couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Some good advice I found here and elsewhere:

• Try mapping "1" to "Shift-A" on "Game 2" or something like that. Then on "Game 2", enter Chat mode (enter?). On "Game 1" press "1" and you should see a capital-A in your chat window on "Game 2".

Woot for what ever reason this fixed it.

• I only configure the "master" keys (e.g. "1" and not "Ctrl-J") to be broadcast. And then I have the Key Remapping defined to map "1" to "Ctrl-J".

I could have sworn i tried that. Uggg. Well thanks a ton I owe you a pizza or something. I was ripping my hair out and bleeding has stopped now.

I am so happy now I can go back to setting up the rest of my FTL setup. I do like your perl script but I think i will do it manually. Thanks for the awesome help

I get everything but the Linux code part
Why do I need it? I run my games on Windows...

The Linux "program" is not required. The painful exercise is defining 5-10 key remappings for all possible combinations of game instances. That's ALOT of clicking around in PwnBoxer.

e.g. 10 keys you want to use for FTL. Assuming 5 characters, it's 4 definitions per key (40), then for 5 game instances (each could be master) .. that's roughly 200 key remappings.

That's not fun. The linux script "generates" all the key remappings so that you can add them directly to the saved PwnBoxer configuration file (.pbcfg).

That's all. Not required in any way - and obviously not a good idea for anyone that doesn't have Linux at home or at work.

Anyone knows how this can be ported into c or visual basic for windows?

Perl is a portable scripting language. You could, theoretically, install Perl on Windows and run the script there. I didn't use any extensions that would be Unix specific.

Ok I have spent about 2hrs or so trying to figure this out and still cant manage to get anything to work lol. Maybe someone can help me out here, im pretty sure im doing something totally wrong.

So first I assigned my 3 toons a modifier so:

Game1=shift
Game2=Alt
Game3=Ctrl

Im wanting to use my [F] as my follow key. So in pwnboxer I set keymapping as:



So now in game I made a macro containing this:

/target[mod:shift, target=game1][mod:alt, target=game2][mod:ctrl, target=game3]
/follow

I then put this macro on my bar on all 3 games which I then keybound to (F, Shift-F, Alt-F, Ctrl-F) .

Now in game I have tried testing this macro but it just tells me that I have no target. I thought this macro would tell games 2 and 3 to target game1 if there was a Shift modifier. Im pretty sure I messed up some where.

Can someone please point out where I went wrong?
