I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me. |
Scroll down for a full list of features. Options are accessible by typing “/hydra” or by browsing to the Hydra panel in the Interface Options window. Several common commands can also be keybound in the standard Key Bindings window.Bug Reports & Feature Requests
Please note that Hydra is not a replacement for key cloning software — addons can’t cast spells, target units, or perform many other actions, so you will still need some way to send your key strokes and mouse clicks to your secondary characters’ instances of WoW.
Post an issue on GitHub (preferred), or post a comment here on WoWInterface. If you are reporting a bug, please read this first and provide as much of the requested information as possible.Language Support
Hydra operates on the basis of “trust”. You tell it which characters you trust, whether they're your multibox characters or just your questing buddies, and features are enabled or disabled depending on whether you’re in a party with trusted characters or not. For example, whispers are only forwarded to party chat if everyone in the party is on your trusted list.Automation
You can add or remove names to your trusted list in the options panel. There's also an option to add everyone in your current party to your trusted list, for quick setup for multiboxing groups.
Whispers containing a high number of “spam words” (words that commonly appear in goldselling, powerleveling, phishing, or other spam) are forwarded as “POSSIBLE SPAM” instead of the actual text, to avoid having your account appear to send spam. If you want to see the actual message, check the receiving character’s chat log.Primary character detection:
Whisper forwarding is disabled in non-trusted parties, and there is currently no notification if someone whispers a secondary character in this situation.
Hydra currently offers two methods for detecting the primary character. By default, it assumes that the primary character is the party leader. You can use the options panel to switch to checking for applicaton focus instead, but this method will not work if you are using multiple physical machines, and may not work if you are running multiple clients in windowed mode.Advanced Chat Usage
If whispers from multiple senders are forwarded to party chat, your responses in party chat are assumed to be directed toward the sender of the most recently forwarded whisper. You can respond to a previously forwarded whisper by prefacing your message in party chat with “@name”, where “name” is the name of your character that forwarded the whisper.
If whispers from multiple senders are forwarded by the same character, you can respond to a previous message by whispering that character with “@name message”, where “name” is the name of the person you want “message” to be whispered to. You can also use this feature to have your secondary characters send whispers to people who haven’t already whispered you.

I've pushed some API updates on GitHub, but don't really have any ability to test any group features on a trial account. If someone could grab the latest files (just unzip them into your existing Hydra addon folder without deleting it first, otherwise you'll get errors about missing libraries) and test that the Mount and Quest modules are now working correctly, that would be helpful.

Just an update for everyone, I know Hydra is broken in BFA. I haven't played WoW in 2+ years and haven't multiboxed in 5+ years so keeping up with minor changes hasn't been a priority (as the lack of recent updates shows). I will try to slot some time in next weekend to update for the breaking changes in BFA.
Long-term, it would be best if someone with WoW programming experience who actively multiboxes (or at least actively plays WoW) could commit to maintaining or even taking over Hydra, since at some point I'm going to lose interest in maintaining addons for a game I lost interest in a long time ago. If you are interested in contributing, the best way to get started is by submitting pull requests on GitHub: https://github.com/phanx-wow/Hydra If you are not familiar with Git and don't want to learn, you can just use the web editor on GitHub to add your changes to the code. Fork the official repository, add your changes, then open a pull request to submit your changes back to the official repository.
