MBCTog helps multiboxers control "multi talking" of their slaves, or also known as "double talking".
If you know a multiboxer that seems to have a "multi talking" problem, please suggest this addon :P
I hate double talking... If I type this: "Hi, how's it going sherry?" I'll get this:
Hi, how's it going sherry?
Hi, how's it going sherry?
And that is every type you type in chat and hit enter key! In trade, parties, dungeons, raids, etc. You may have a software work around, but maybe like me.. to use the software work around, it requires me to press a button to stop sending to my other toons and then "remember" to press it again so I can send my key commands to the other toons. This makes it hard to chat and fight in combat. Then people in your raid get very annoyed, and in dungeon groups if they think your a multiboxer you get kicked from the dungeon! (I've been kicked for groups even thinking I'm a multiboxer!)
I've heard from other players, other than keyclone users, having great success using this addon!
My addon is very verbal at this time.. so that you can understand what it needs from you.
Feature 1:
The "Set Master Talker" button --- This button you click on the toon you want to be the only talker.
You Can move the button around if you... Press and hold CTRL button and then click and hold your Leftmouse button on the button's frame to move it around. When you find a place you want to keep the button, just release CTRL and Leftmouse button.
Feature 2:
You can type the below with or without slash commands:
ENABLETALK or ET --- If you can't see your typing or your toon is in silent mode.. just type enabletalk or et (lower or upper case does not matter) and you will get your keyboard back :P
DISABLETALK or DT --- If you want to put a toon into silent mode, just typing this will do it.
Have not created a slashcommand for this one, you will need to type it as is:
CHATHELP or CHAT HELP --- will give you these list of commands should you forget.
This addon is stable as far as I know it. So I'm taking it out of beta.
FUTURE PLANS:
-- auto party accept from teamlist
-- auto raid accept from teamlist
-- Will look at the other multiboxing addons and figure out what they are missing and what I can add to this addon to improve the overall multiboxing experience. Overall, I am a jamba fan... I will soon have options similar to Jamba without the "Flashy flashy" so that multiboxers whom are trying to squeeze all they can out of their computer can get better performance using my addon. If I do go towards a more graphical version, I will then make a "lite version" and a "regular version" of this addon.
*** Please read the Changelog.txt for further information on all changes made to this addon.
Let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions on how to improve this addon...
P.S. If you find this addon useful, please add this as your favorite :P Much Thanks for your time!
HERE is further explaination:
Bear with me.. this is a long explaination hoping I help everyone understand without confusing anyone:
I use keyclone. It sends a copy for every keystroke to each wow instance opened on my computer. If I press 1 on the keybaord.. it sends 1 to my other toons.. If I type /say Hello.. all my other toons will /say Hello.. and then everyone in range will see me and my toons say "Hello"!
Even though keyclone allows you to "Pause" it from sending copies of your keystrokes to other wow instances opened on your computer.. That in itself is a problem! If you disable your keystrokes.. then if you get into battle and forget you have "pause" on, even with it beeping and flashing.. you still can forget.. and i forget alot.. plus i disabled the beeping and flashing.. its annoying., you will end up fighting solo until you see your other toon not fighting. Its a headache to remember to press pause again to allow your keystrokes to go thru.. I thought.. an addon will allow me not have to worry about that.. so while in battle.. I type '/raid Incoming!!' It won't spam it through my other toons.
Don't get me wrong though.. you do need "Pause" if you plan to do other stuff other than chatting.. like Auction house searches.. typing information into other addons.. anything that isn't chat related.
With my addon, you don't have to worry about pressing "Pause" button to stop keystrokes while typing in chat. You don't have to worry about "double talking" or "multi talking"..
If i type /g for guild chat and say.. "Hey how's it going.. Ive been working on a few new addons.." it would look like this:
Hey how's it going.. Ive been working on a few new addons..
Hey how's it going.. Ive been working on a few new addons..
Everyone will see it twice for me.. im a dual boxer.. but for 3, 4, and 5 boxers.. i can only imagine.. everyone saying "SPAM!!"
************
You do understand if you "double, triple, quad, five and etc talk.." people will know your multiboxing.. and ive recently met a ton of players whom hate multiboxers.. As soon as you "multi-talk" they become problems for you.. Trying to get you kicked, ruining your Dungeon experience via pulling more mobs than your group can handle, cussing.. etc.
This addon helps take away the possiblity that you will be picked out for multiboxing! If you forget to stop your keystrokes from sending to all your wow programs, then they find out.. then its a chance for another headache!
************
My addon Allows the Master (or which ever is master at the time) to be the only "talker". Anytime I type something that Im about to say.. it will erase the letters from the slaves' default chatbox. Yet my latest update allows slash commands to go thru, except known emotes that i have added to the emote filter i've created.
by typing DT .. my addon will put which ever toon that you type this to into "silent" mode.. in otherwords.. no talking will be coming from that toon. If you want to re-Enable talking.. you type ET.
To use the button "Set Master Talker" you will need to be grouped with your slaves / other toons. Then you can press the button to set who you want to be master talker. You can move the button around by holding the control key and left mouse button and then drag the button to the position you want it at.
If I've confused you or have any more questions please ask.. I'm more that grateful to answer any and all questions! ...even if i miss-spell stuff...
