So I have been bitten by the isoboxer bug.. I have 4 instances running and I can't stop watching, hahaha . Can't wait to try to 4 man some of the flashpoints, so I was wondering has anyone here done it with buddywing attached to the slaves and just control the main? Also what type of 4 teams are you running and is HM doable?
How did you get it working? I am getting RAM issues if attach BW to ISBoxer. You can see my anger in other topics
Attaching BW has been tricky for me. The sequence I use is: 1 Do not enable swapping or instant swapping. 2 Make sure you have logged into all of the accounts you plan to run - meaning have all active isoboxer windows up and running. Issues I've seen: 1 The logs exploded... I mean explode!!! In a matter of seconds the log reached over several gigs when the bots got confused. 2 Sometime the bots attach correctly, but does not recognize the correct step of quest. Its actually picking up quest of other screen.... 3 The bot sometimes attaches to the same SWTOR client. 4 Also if any one of the bots crashed, I have to stop all bots and close them all out and launch a new instance of BW to attach to each of the isoboxer. It gives me a error message when I try to close one out and to relaunch one if there is already one attached and running.

Not sure If I was suppose to have 4 separate individual folders of BW, maybe that would explain some of my weird experiences. I'm testing Walts latest build and Pure.

yeah i am also getting that in a log file in like 5-30min since i start BW. I tried different folders and it didn't solve it. Where is this swapping and instant swapping? So can you run it for hours without your interferance?
When you do the quick wizard setup and you reach the monitor section. On the right hand side its defaults to True so mark it as False. I haven't grinded mobs yet. Still trying to do questing just to get the spaceship before the grind. Once i get there i'll let you know if it can run all night.
Glad to find another BW user that enjoys the bot to play the game and not just gold farming - yay! Have a look at Ama's Slave Collar plugin. It is great for exactly this scenario. I love using my 4 man warrior team to burn through stuff quickly, but it is safer to have a healer and tank in your group. Pure is awesome for this. Controlling my main with Pure and the Master Collar attached - the slaves have their slave collar attached and will attack anything and everything my main tank attacks. Lots of fun...for me at least lol BTW I have not been able to run a 4 box Isboxer successfully with BW, but 2 boxes works well. As such am am curiously following your thread for any advice and ideas you have.
Thanks Strepie for the tip! I'll try out the plugin . Yeah I can get 2 to work without a problem but man. 3 will attach but will not function correctly. The 4th one, is like playing the lotta you might get lucky and have it attach correctly. I hope they update BW to give you a PID option so you can chose which one to attach it. Because after 2 instances, it's just luck if it attaches correctly.
If its the log that is exploding, we can write and replace the logger with one that doesn't do anything.
I think its worth trying out, specialy if it doesn't take you alot of time to do that. I can gladly test it with ISBoxer & VMWare
I would welcome that, because when I select none for logging level.... Well it really isn't none Thanks Ama!
Ehh... nevermind. All of the logging methods are static. If there were an instance of logging, I could replace it with a nub. Looks like cant do this for logging.
Okay, so I have been trying isoboxer for the last 3 days. Manually, its great controlling 4 toons. Still trying to figure out my key bindings and using clicks to command heals from my main. But as for BW. I can only get 2 to work. I have figured out how to attach all 4. But here are the issues i'm running into. 1. If all 4 BW are attached and anyone stalls. You only have the option to hit stop and start. That, may or may not fix the issue. 2. if all 4 BW are attached and one crashes. You cannot simple launch another BW to attach, seems like an invisible shared hook remains active. Why? Because the only solution is for it to stop and close out all BW instances and to restart the process of attaching BW to each instance again. If you're wondering how I attach BW. I have 2 folders. One with one session, and the second folder with the key for 3 sessions. I attach the BW instance of one session. Then I start the BW instances with the key that has multiple sessions. Most of the time, I have to stop and start the bot because it just hangs. I spent most of the time clearing out the log in hopes it keep the bot more active. So I have momentarily given up on running 3 slaves with Pure and manually controlling the main. I can only get 2 to run, but even then I have to monitor it frequently. Another route to try is VMware, but I'm not really interested in running bots individually for credits, I was hoping to run operations either by myself... I know crazy!!! or maybe with another friend who wold run 4 as well. isoboxer would work. But only in a manual fashion. So the bots would help me get my toons to max level but only one or 2 at a time. This is only a hiatus, so if other have tips on how to get multiple BW instances to run on isoboxer please let me know! I have ran out of ideas.
