[PQR] MultiBoxing Thread

[Gabbz]

So was wondering about using pqr för a multiboxing adventure when mop releases. Basically i want a pocket healer that follows me around. And maybe assist me somewhat in DPS.
As Worn stated earlier the follow part is easy and even the assist part is. The tricky part is the interaction part or rather thats easy also. The hard part is to get everything to work at same time. Ie healing / assist/follow/interact etc..

Here is some code to get things started but as i said the hard part is to make it complex..
For reference the master is the main character and slave is the one you use as a slave !

Here is my code how i set up the interrupt:

--easy explained-----------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
AssistUnit("focus")
------------------------------------------------------

--if Slave is more then 9 yards away from focus(master)  then follow focus(master), you can even set your master name instead of focus-----
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if not ( CheckInteractDistance("focus", 3) ) then FollowUnit("focus") return true end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- this will make slave interact master target if its inside 9 yard from target. Ie it wont run after targets thats far away--
--this works on corpses etc also
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (CheckInteractDistance("target", 3)) and (UnitIsFriend("player", "target") or UnitIsDead("target"))
  then InteractUnit("target") return true end
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assist and interact using a little AHK script:
Link to AHK: http://www.autohotkey.com/

Here comes a AHK script that makes you leftmousebutton target the same target as you do and make if you rightclick the same target it will interact that target.
You need to make 2 macros:
First macro is /assist Focus and use the keybinding: NumPadAdd

I also made two keys (1,2) that will send to the slave using the AHK script just to show you how you can add keys that you want to broadcast to multiple wows

SetKeyDelay, 0, 0. 
WinGet, wowid, List, World of Warcraft

#IfWinActive, World of Warcraft

; -------------------------------
;Determine Main and Clone Windows
; -------------------------------
WinActivate, ahk_id %wowid1%

MsgBox, 4,, Is this your WOW Main window? (press Yes or No)
IfMsgBox Yes
{
idMain = %wowid1%
idClone = %wowid2%
} else {
idMain = %wowid2%
idClone = %wowid1%
}

~LButton::
ControlSend,, {NumPadAdd}, ahk_id %idClone%
Sleep, 1100
ControlSend,, {NumPadAdd}, ahk_id %idClone%
Return

;this part doest work well so i skipped it and put it in interuppt part of PQR
;~RButton::
;ControlSend,, {NumPadSub}, ahk_id %idClone%
;Sleep, 1100
;ControlSend,, {NumPadCub}, ahk_id %idClone%
;Return

; -------------------------------
; Numeric Keys + Numpad Keys
; -------------------------------
~1::
KeyWait 1
ControlSend,, {1}, ahk_id %idClone%
Return

~2::
KeyWait 2
ControlSend,, {2}, ahk_id %idClone%
Return

This just a placeholder until later. And i have taken from several people around the web so Credit goes to all of them.

Now, to pose another question.

Does PQR broadcast all your key presses or mouse bind to other wow clients? If not, this won't work at all, all PQR instances are bound to their individual wow clients. Unless you are using something like pwnboxer for multiboxing, You won't get much success even with the above code. Pwnboxer broadcasts key presses and mouse binds to all attched wow clients.

It would be great if you managed to do so without the need of multiboxing softwares.

My slave is following me and dpsing while iam tanking with PQR. Follow i set as interupt. To assist tank i put this in at first place of slave rotation: "AssistUnit("")
And all is working fine, except looting and interact. Will test what Gabbz wrote later after work. bb.

The best with PQR is that its fire and forget basically. You can have different classes doing what they do best using the best scripts. Ie basically you dont need to press any keys on slaves cause PQR will do that for you. So you dont really need any multiboxing software. However its prolly best if you do.

But what i want to create is abilities to help people multiboxing using PQR.
We will prolly do this using the interrupt portion of PQR.
As i said earlier its easy to make the slave follow and assist , interact with your target and many other things .The hard part is to make it do all of that.

I suggest using the addon Jamba to automate a lot of this stuff so you can have PQR focus on the stuff Jamba can't do (combat etc). Jamba is downloadable off curse, and it sets up a master and unlimited slaves, the slaves can pulse follow the master (so if they get stuck, feared, etc your master can come back and they will refollow), there is also stuff to auto assist off the master or focus but I haven't done much there. Jamba also has a quest automator where it will automatically pick up quests and turn in quests when you interact with a quest-NPC. you can then have your main rotation be something like /assist focus then all the nuke or heal spells depending on the partys health. You can also bind one key to /assist focus and another to interact with target, and then just broadcast the key with AHK to all wow boxes (choose quest NPC with master, broadcast assist focus, broadcast interact with target). Same thing looting corpses for quest items. I bound my interact key to F, since gw2 TERA and other new MMOs use that as the new "do stuff with NPC" key. The only tricky thing is how do you loot stuff on the ground for quests that have crap like that, for now I usually just skip those quests and if I have to do it I will alt-tab and pick it up manually. Figuring out a way to speed that up would probably be great for MOP.

I tested this out a little. The problem is that the PQR does not seem to recognize keystrokes sent via multiboxing software, so you can't enable/disable your rotation unless you tab to each window and do so - which defeats the purpose.

[surfman]

Depending which multi boxing software you use but mine (Jamba/IS Boxer) works fine with PQR .. Just set a target on main and to activate PQR on all 5 accounts I press my 1 key which sends 1 to all my other toons and they all activate PQR at same time starting the rotations. I have been using PQR with my multi boxing (5-10 accounts) for almost 1 year now and no troubles at all.

Changed main post my new script thats been working nicely for me.

Really? I also use Jamba and IS Boxer and PQR does not recognize keystrokes sent between clients. I had to manually tab through each client and hit ALT+X to activate the profile (and again to turn them off).

Maybe I need to run PQR as administrator, didn't try that.

Are you guys using this software on retail? I wonder if there isn't a fairly high risk of being banned?

depends what you say is high risk.
Of all the members that using my scripts none have ever been banned because of PQR.
if you do it in stupid situation like PvP and interruppt 0.0000001 sec after they tries to cast a spell and do it everytime then you might be reported

If anything, all you would have to do is get KeyBroadcaster and link it to all instances of PQRotation. The easiest way I've seen to set my Rotation Starter keys is to set it to 1 key. Like Rotation 1 set to "X" to start, Rotation 2 set to "Z", Rotation 3 set to "Shift+X" and Rotation 4 set to "Shift+~." Again, just set KeyBoradcaster to all instances of PQRotation then just hit your key and boom, all started

P.S. I also have my interrupt set to just "C" instead of "ALT+C." I like simplified things

Hm. Not so much worried about being reported (I've multiboxed WoW for years, so I've probably had hundreds of people report my accounts already). I'm more paranoid about Warden detecting some kind of hack, etc. I'm not really sure how PQR does what it does, though. When you run a script, it just appears as normal keystrokes from the server side? I've run G15 macros for a long time and never had any issues, so if it just appears as normal keystrokes from what Blizzard can see, I might give it a try!

Hm. I've tried KeyBroadcaster and several multiboxing software and none of them work. It seems like PQR just doesn't interact properly with key broadcasting between clients. It will only activate the rotation on whichever screen is currently in the foreground.

I'm not sure why it works for you. I load my team through IS Boxer. I run 5 instances of PQR and connect one to each client, then I press the hotkey (Num0) to start. It only sends the "Rotation Mode Enabled" to my main window. I've tried enabling all keystrokes, running all programs as administrator, adding the Num0 as a broadcasted keystroke in ISBoxer. Nothing works ^_^

I found setting a whole new key combination within PQR using ISBoxer = for the win on 20 man team running... Alt+X is the default in PQR, but I turn on repeater and hit ctrl+shift+Q which nothing will start all PQR instances. So I would recommend using Repeater and setting a key combination in PQR that's unique to WoW's Key Binds.

Repeater on

Key Combo to enable PQR on each toon.

Repeater off

Play and enjoy the game.

Note: Which I've rewritten a heap of profiles from 4.3.x profiles that are heavily modified per each toon and now compliant with 5.0.5

Also Gabbz to note here for you:

Utilize WoW's IWT and CTM for your melee groups It's what I done in my profiles for PQR.
