Default Team Malaias - Setup (FTL, Macros, Addons)

Team Faeil - EU Azuremyst (previously Team Malaias)


  1. Faeil - Paladin Tank (previously Druid Tank 'Malaias')
  2. Malaia - Elemental Shaman
  3. Daemian - Destruction Warlock (previously Elemental Shaman 'Malaine')
  4. Malaiah - Elemental Shaman
  5. Malaena - Elemental Shaman


Pwnboxer Setup

My FTL makes use of PwnBoxer key broadcasting and PwnBoxer key mappings.



Game Setup

I use the Bartender4 addon for advanced action bars.



I have two displays for multiboxing 5 instances of WoW. One 27" and one 15".




The Theory

The idea behind FTL (Focusless, targetless, leaderless) is to setup multiboxing in a way that you can transparently switch masters without having to change macros, play solo without worrying about the other characters and to not rely on focus or target for group actions.

A good article on these forums can be found here:
How to configure a Focusless/Targetless/Leaderless multiboxing system

Another good article about FTL can be found here:
Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' (FTL) setup

Macro modifiers and PwnBoxer key mappings

The fundamental challenge of FTL is how to write macros that "know" who the current master is without hardcoding the name of master in WoW macros. The trick is to use PwnBoxer key mappings and WoW Macro "Modifiers".

Disclaimer: This is my way of implementing FTL. There are many other ways.

First of all, assign a keyboard modifier to each of your characters. It's a good idea to draw a diagram or write them down. This can be very confusing.

e.g.
  1. Faeil - Shift + Alt
  2. Malaia - Ctrl + Alt
  3. Daemian - Shift
  4. Malaiah - Ctrl
  5. Malaena - Alt

Next, decide on which keys to use on master and which keys to use for slaves. In my screenshot above, and for the purpose of this guide, I will pick:
  • Keys 1-5 for Master/Solo
  • Keys 6-0 for Slaves/Mapped
When playing, I will only ever press keys 1-5. Keys 6-0 are reserved for FTL.

The idea is that if you press Key "1" on the master, it will map to Key "6" on all the slaves with a modifier indicating who the master was that pressed "1". When a slave receives the Key "6", the slave understands that the master pressed Key "1" and in the macro associated with Key "6", it will interpret a modifier to determine who the master was. Confusing?

An example.

Pressing "1" on Faeil (Game 1) will result in Key "6" being pressed on all slaves (Malaia/Game2, Daemian/Game3, Malaiah/Game4, Malaena/Game5). Because I assigned the modifier "Shift + Alt" (arbitrarily) to Faeil/Game1, the slaves don't get simply a Key "6", I actually setup PwnBoxer so that they all receive "Shift + Alt + 6". Again, to explain: the "6" says that the master pressed "1" and the "Shift + Alt" says the master is Faeil/Game1.

The Key Mapping in PwnBoxer for this example is shown in the screenshot above and should look like...

Code:
If "Game 1" selected, transform "1" into "Alt + Shift + 6" on "Game 2".
If "Game 1" selected, transform "1" into "Alt + Shift + 6" on "Game 3".
If "Game 1" selected, transform "1" into "Alt + Shift + 6" on "Game 4".
If "Game 1" selected, transform "1" into "Alt + Shift + 6" on "Game 5".
There should be no rule for mapping to "Game 1" since this is where the Key "1" was pressed.

A macro can now use the following to determine the master and set the target accordingly. The nice thing is that the same macro can be used on all slaves.

Code:
/target 
[mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Faeil]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia]
[mod:shift,target=Daemian]
[mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah]
[mod:alt,target=Malaene]
It's important to list the multi-modifier targets first (e.g. Shift+Alt before Alt). This is so that you can avoid unnecessary additional attributes such as 'nomod' since WoW Macros cannot contain more than 255 characters. If you want to write larger macros, you'll need an Addon such as Macaroon! or Super Duper Macro.

A "FTL" follow macro would therefore look like...

Code:
/target 
[mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Faeil]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia]
[mod:shift,target=Daemian]
[mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah]
[mod:alt,target=Malaene]
/follow
/targetlasttarget
The first command "/target" sets the target based on the modifier. The second command "/follow" instructs a slave to follow the target (i.e. the master) and the third command returns the target to the previous target.

Generating the PwnBoxer Configuration
  1. Faeil - Paladin Tank
  2. Malaia - Elemental Shaman
  3. Daemian - Destruction Warlock
  4. Malaiah - Elemental Shaman
  5. Malaena - Elemental Shaman

The difficult part is now to define Key Mappings for all possible combinations. Perl helps!

The script below can be used to generate a PwnBoxer configuration for the Key Mappings. If you don't have access to a Linux box, you can install Perl for Windows from here.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Game instances (0 = first, 1 = second, etc)
my @games = ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 );
# The name of the WoW characters for each of the game instances
my @toons = ( 'Faeil', 'Malaia', 'Daemian', 'Malaiah', 'Malaene' );

# The list of all keys you want to map from
my @keys = ( '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', 'Alt + 1', 'Alt + 2', 'Alt + 3', 'Alt + 4', 'Alt + 5' );
# The list of all keymaps you want to map to
my @mapped = ( '6', '7', '8', '9', '0', 'Z', 'U', 'I', 'O', 'P' );


# Important about Macros & Modifiers
# Max. length of a WoW (3.2) Macro is 255 characters.  Save space!
# Make sure the combined modifiers (Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Shift+Ctrl) come first!

# The WoW macro modifiers. One for each WoW character
my @mods = ( 'shift+alt', 'ctrl+alt', 'shift', 'ctrl', 'alt' );
# The PwnBoxer keystroke modifiers.  One for each WoW modifier
my @pwnmods = ( 'Shift + Alt', 'Ctrl + Alt', 'Shift', 'Ctrl', 'Alt' );


my $modifier = 'mod';


# Basic data checks
if($#keys ne $#mapped) {
    die("You must have equal number of keys to mapped keys.\n");
}
if($#games ne $#toons) {
    die("You must have the same number of characters as game instances.\n");
}
if($#toons ne $#mods) {
    die("You must have one macro modifier per character.\n");
}
if($#pwnmods ne $#mods) {
    die("You must have one Pwnboxer modifier for each macro modifier.\n");
}

sub entry {
    my $src = shift;
    my $in = shift;
    my $out = shift;
    my $dst = shift;
    my $comma = shift;

    print "\t\t{\n";
    print "\t\t\t\"Active Window\" : $src,\n";
    print "\t\t\t\"Input Key\" : \"$in\",\n";
    print "\t\t\t\"Output Key\" : \"$out\",\n";
    print "\t\t\t\"Output Window\" : $dst\n";
    print "\t\t}$comma\n";
}


for($k=0;$k<=$#keys;$k++) {
    for($i=0;$i<=$#games;$i++) {
        for($j=0;$j<=$#games;$j++) {
            next if ($i == $j);
            my $src = $games[$i];
            my $dst = $games[$j];
            my $in = $keys[$k];
            my $out = $mapped[$k];
            my $mod = $pwnmods[$i];
            my $comma = ',';
            $comma = '' if(($j==$#games) and ($i==$j));
            entry($src,$in,"$mod + $out",$dst,$comma);
        }
    }
}

print "\n\n";
for($t=0;$t<=$#toons;$t++) {
    print "Game $games[$t] has toon $toons[$t] who has modifier $pwnmods[$t].\n";
}
print "\n";



my $modstr = '/target ';
for($t=0;$t<=$#toons;$t++) {
    my $toon = $toons[$t];
    my $mod = $mods[$t];
    my $index = index($mod, '+');
    if($index<0) {
        $modstr .= "[$modifier:$mod,target=$toon]";
    } else {
        ($mod1, $mod2) = split(/\+/, $mod);
        $modstr .= "[$modifier:$mod1,$modifier:$mod2,target=$toon]";
    }
}

print "\nExample - Target Leader Macro:\n$modstr\n";
print "\nExample - Shaman Lightning Bolt FTL Macro:\n$modstr\n/cast [target=targettarget] Lightning Bolt\n/targetlasttarget\n";
print "\nExample - Follow FTL Macro:\n$modstr\n/follow\n/targetlasttarget\n";


print "\nExample - Sequenced Group Invite Macro (run from $toons[0]):\n";
my $delay = 1;
for($t=1;$t<=$#toons;$t++) {
    print "/in $delay /invite $toons[$t]\n";
    $delay += 3;
}

Running the above script on Linux produces the following...

Code:
                {
                        "Active Window" : 0,

                {

                        "Input Key" : "Alt + 5",
                        "Output Key" : "Alt + P",
                        "Output Window" : 3
                },


Game 0 has toon Faeil who has modifier Shift + Alt.
Game 1 has toon Malaia who has modifier Ctrl + Alt.
Game 2 has toon Daemian who has modifier Shift.
Game 3 has toon Malaiah who has modifier Ctrl.
Game 4 has toon Malaene who has modifier Alt.


Example - Target Leader Macro:
/target [mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Faeil][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia][mod:shift,target=Daemian][mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah][mod:alt,target=Malaene]

Example - Shaman Lightning Bolt FTL Macro:
/target [mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Faeil][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia][mod:shift,target=Daemian][mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah][mod:alt,target=Malaene]
/cast [target=targettarget] Lightning Bolt
/targetlasttarget

Example - Follow FTL Macro:
/target [mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Faeil][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia][mod:shift,target=Daemian][mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah][mod:alt,target=Malaene]
/follow
/targetlasttarget

Example - Sequenced Group Invite Macro (run from Faeil):
/in 1 /invite Malaia
/in 4 /invite Daemian
/in 7 /invite Malaiah
/in 10 /invite Malaene

One PwnBoxer KeyMapping looks like this in the .pbcfg file.

Code:
                {
                        "Active Window" : 0,
                        "Input Key" : "1",
                        "Output Key" : "Shift + Alt + 6",
                        "Output Window" : 1
                }
The above configuration says to map Key 1 from Game 1 to Shift+Alt+6 in Game 2. The above configuration needs to be added to a Saved PwnBoxer Configuration file (.pbcfg) in the "Key Mapping" section.

Code:
  "Key Remapping" : 
  [
    {
       "Active Window" : 0,
       "Input Key" : "1",
       "Output Key" : "Shift + Alt + 6",
       "Output Window" : 1
    }
  ]

It's not working!


It definitely works with PwnBoxer - that's what I'm using. Below are some of the mistakes I made:
  • I forgot 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".

Default Re: Team Malaias - FTL Setup

Click-Casting (in progress)
Click-Casting is the process of defining a single keystroke that will perform appropriate actions. Unlike the traditional use of /castsequence, /click-casting allows for prioritization versus just a simple sequence. This article will show how I use /click-casting to perform a rough 96969 Paladin Tank sequence (more detail) as well as DPS with the Shamans and the Warlock. While far from perfect, this will significantly simplify your gameplay when multiboxing. This setup does not fully support FTL. It assumes FTL Master is /clicker.

Executive Summary
Press only one button on FTL Master repeatedly to
  • Have Paladin Tank do a semi-proper 96969 rotation
  • Have Shamans do a semi-proper Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt priority rotation
  • Have Warlock do a semi-proper Immolate, Corruption, Curse of Agony, Shadow Bolt priority rotation

Macro Addon
I now use the 'Super Duper Macro' addon for writing macros and distributing them to my slaves. It works quite nicely and is definitely an improvement over the classic WoW macros.

Suggested Reading
I strongly suggest reading 'Using Click Castsequences' available from this forum.

FTL Setup and Keys
I'm assuming the following FTL setup from my original post above.

Quote:
Next, decide on which keys to use on master and which keys to use for slaves. In my screenshot above, and for the purpose of this guide, I will pick:

* Keys 1-5 for Master/Solo
* Keys 6-0 for Slaves/Mapped

When playing, I will only ever press keys 1-5. Keys 6-0 are reserved for FTL.
Initial Setup
In my setup, I will select 'Key 1' as my action button for the /click-casting. Associated with that will be 'Key 6' for my slaves using FTL to determine the master and her target.

I also need 2/4 additional arbitrary ActionBar buttons (Classic, Bartender or other) for four different actions on the Shamans and Warlock, as well as two different actions for the Paladin Tank (96969). These buttons must not be broadcast or key-remapped using PwnBoxer.

The /clicker
The /clicker is the only button you will ever be spamming. It is the only one that needs to be Key-Remapped using PwnBoxer (as described above) and it is the only one that needs to be in the associated FTL slot as well on the slaves. All other buttons will be "pressed" by the /clicker.

Paladin Tank
  • Button 1 'Key 1' and 'Key 6' for slaves - /clicker
  • Button 2 - 9sec Tank Macro
  • Button 3 - 6sec Tank Macro

DPS - Shaman / Warlock (e.g. using priorities from maxdps.com)
  • Button 1 'Key 1' and 'Key 6' for slaves - /clicker
  • Button 2 - Flame Shock / Immolate
  • Button 3 - Lava Burst / Corruption
  • Button 4 - Chain Lightning / Curse of Agnoy
  • Button 5 - Lightning Bolt / Shadow Bolt

The Macros

Who am I ?
One of the most difficult parts of /click-casting is determining the 'name' of your ActionBar buttons that have the macros.

This useful macro can be placed in an ActionBar slot. When pressed, it will show you the 'name' of the button which can be used with the /click command.

Super Duper Macro Example


Here's the Macro (source)
Code:
/run print(GetMouseFocus():GetName())
Tank /Clicker
Use your button names! Look them up as shown above. Place the clicker macro in your preferred ActionBar slot. In my case, it's in a slot bound to 'Key 1'. Place the clicker macro also in your associated slave FTL slot. In my case, it's in a slot bound to 'Key 6' (described above).
Code:
/click ActionButton8
/click ActionButton9
DPS /Clicker
Use your button names! Look them up as shown above. Place the clicker macro in your preferred ActionBar slot. In my case, it's in a slot bound to 'Key 1'. Place the clicker macro also in your associated slave FTL slot. In my case, it's in a slot bound to 'Key 6' (described above).
Code:
/target [mod:alt,mod:shift,target=Faeil][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia][mod:shift,target=Daemian][mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah][mod:alt,target=Malaene]
/click BT4Button37
/click BT4Button38
/click BT4Button39
/click BT4Button40
/targetlasttarget
Tank 9 Sequence
This is *my* sequence. It differs from person to person. It's based mostly on Glyphs, Talents and my personal click speed. You will have to "fine-tune" the sequence.
Code:
#showtooltip
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castsequence reset=combat Holy Shield,,,,,,,,Consecration,,,,,,,,Judgement of Light,,,,,,,,
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Tank 6 Sequence
see 'Tank 9 Sequence' for details.
Code:
#showtooltip
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castsequence reset=combat Shield of Righteousness,,,,,,Hammer of the Righteous,,,,,,
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
The use of commas (,) in the cast sequence is to delay casting. I am using the 96969 tactic for Paladin Tanking. My fine-tuning on the practice dummies in Stormwind has led me to use 8 & 6 commas.

DPS - Shaman Flame Shock
This is *my* sequence. It differs from person to person. It's based mostly on Glyphs, Talents and my personal click speed. You will have to "fine-tune" the sequence.
Code:
#show Flame Shock
/use 14
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=combat Flame Shock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My Flame Shock spell has a duration of 18 seconds according to WoW. I click at roughly 2-times per second. Sometimes a bit faster if I get excited. So I've added 2*18+5 (41) ticks after fine-tuning. I only do reset=combat. This means that it will reset the sequence if I exit combat. It will *not* reset the sequence on target change. I like it this way to avoid spells not being ready/available when I change targets. Any DPS is better than none in my opinion. If you want to reset sequence on target change, use 'reset=target/combat'. The '/use 13' and '/use 14' commands will try to fire off a Trinket in slot 1 and slot 2 respectively. It's nice to weave in Trinkets into your /click-casting if the timing of your trinkets is not essential to your playstyle.

DPS - Shaman Lava Burst
see 'DPS - Shaman Flame Shock' for details.
Code:
#show Lava Burst
/use 13
/castsequence  [target=targettarget] reset=combat Lava Burst,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DPS - Shaman Chain Lightning
see 'DPS - Shaman Flame Shock' for details.
Code:
#show Chain Lightning
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=combat Chain Lightning,,,,,,,
DPS - Shaman Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt is my lowest priority spell. It has no recast timer. So no /castsequence is needed.
Code:
#show Lightning Bolt
/cast [target=targettarget] Lightning Bolt
DPS - Warlock Immolate
see 'DPS - Shaman Flame Shock' for details.
Code:
#show Immolate
/use 14
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=combat Immolate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DPS - Warlock Corruption
see 'DPS - Shaman Flame Shock' for details.
Code:
#show Corruption
/use 13
/castsequence  [target=targettarget] reset=combat Corruption,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DPS - Warlock Curse of Agony
see 'DPS - Shaman Flame Shock' for details.
Code:
#show Curse of Agony
/castsequence [target=targettarget] reset=combat Curse of Agony,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DPS - Warlock Shadow Bolt
Just like my Shaman's Lightning Bolt, this is my lowest priority spell. It has no recast timer. So no /castsequence is needed.
Code:
#show Shadow Bolt
/cast [target=targettarget] Shadow Bolt
Annoying Error Spam and Sounds ?
If you're getting alot of error sounds and spam, you can disable it slightly using this code wrapper from above.
Code:
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
<do my thing>
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
You should also go into the WoW Options Menu - Sound & Voice - Enable "Sound Effects" and Disable "Error Speech".

How to spam /clicker consistently ?
Clicking at a steady rate - especially when everything starts going wrong in-game, is tricky!

I highly recommend a Metronome such as the free 'Weird Metronome' if you're on Windows.



Not Working ?
I needed about 2-3 hours to get this working for my Tank, Shamans and Warlock. It's not trivial and it takes time. The best place to work on this is on the Practice Dummies that are in all major cities (well, at least in Stormwind's Old Town).

Default Re: Team Malaias - FTL Setup

If you want you can include [nomod] as well as [mod], so the order does not matter.



Original code:

/target
[mod:shift,mod:alt,target=Malaias]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Malaia]
[mod:shift,target=Malaine]
[mod:ctrl,target=Malaiah]
[mod:alt,target=Malaene]
/follow
/targetlasttarget



Altered Code:

/target
[mod:shift,mod:alt,nomod:ctrl,target=Malaias]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Malaia]
[mod:shift,nomod:alt,nomod:ctrl,target=Malaine]
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Malaiah]
[mod:alt,nomod:alt,nomod:ctrl,target=Malaene]
/follow
/targetlasttarget

Yes, I saw that also mentioned on other pages. But by simply ordering the commands, you can save yourself a few extra characters out of the very limited max. 255 characters available for WoW macros.

In fact, your suggested macro doesn't actually work for me as it exceeds 255 characters. The last command gets cut off. Or do you know of a way to get larger macros?

Here is a macro addon which let you go to 1024 characters.
Super Duper Macro : WoWInterface Downloads : Miscellaneous

I believe Macaroon will allow for this too.

IS Boxer has a built in macro maker, where it exports its macros to warcraft via an addon, so you can go to 1024 characters if you want too.

yeh i think pwnboxer should have a prebuild macro function so you dont even do keep redoing your macros if your client crashes n wipes or if you create new chars
