Multiboxing With Multiple Clickboxer Windows

I started out with a horizontal ClickBoxer window and after a couple runs it just seemed too small. My idea was to make a vertical window that replaced (or in place of) the right 2 action bars of the default UI and make the buttons bigger.
Here is what I started with:

Here is the Vertical version using 40×40 for button size:

This is all pretty basic stuff. All of the buttons are the same, some of the text is different. I’m mainly posting this to show what can be (easily) done with ClickBoxer. Once I got the vertical layout, I thought, well maybe I should add the flexibility of using either layout. So set each layout as its own window and with some help from the #isboxer crew, I got it all working. I took it a step further and instead of having to run “ui -reload -skin WoWSkin clickboxer vertical” I put that line it it’s own script so I can just run “run vertical” or “run horizontal” for whichever orientation I want.
Vertical Script (Save as vertical.iss to C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts)
function main()
{
ui -reload -skin WoWSkin clickboxer vertical
}
Horizontal Script (Save as horizontal.iss to C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts)
function main()
{
ui -reload -skin WoWSkin clickboxer horizontal
}
Here is the full Clickboxer.xml (Save to C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Interface)
ClickBoxer.xml (Opens new Window) – Saved here as txt for display purposes.
There is a Misc window there that is the building blocks of another window.
About my Clickboxer.xml:
I run 1 system with 3 clients and 1 system with 2. This is why you see “joeslaptop.is1″; this is relaying commands directly to the RemoteUplink joeslaptop (my 2nd system) is1 session. This is not necessarily something you can drop in and just run. Unless you also run your resto druid on is2, your shaman on is3, and your preist on joeslaptop.is1. The idea here was to document the process for myself and show by example how easy it is to build a custom ClickBoxer UI.
Five Boxing Hellfire Citadel: The Blood Furnace
by Halo on Dec.29, 2008, under 5 Boxing, Gaming, World of Warcraft
Did some questing and got a few levels on a few of the lowbies. Went back to give The Blood Furnace a shot.
Here is my team:
Nimmen – 80 Resto Druid
Lewlsfear – 63 Shadow Preist
Menage – 73 Elemental Shaman
Nymin – 62 Balance Druid
Fröstlust – 63 Unholy Death Knight
No real issues except with threat. Had a couple of bad pulls that led to wipes, but not terribly worried. I switched to using ClickBoxer to heal with, also to buff. It helped amazingly, it is much easier to click heal instead of worrying about targeting with F1-5 and then using F6-12 to heal. I just need to do some adjustments on my ClickBoxer UI and I’ll post it here.

Five Boxing Hellfire Citadel: Ramparts
by Halo on Dec.22, 2008, under 5 Boxing, Gaming, World of Warcraft
My first time attempting to multibox an instance, my new boomkin just hit 60 and off to ramps we went.
Here is my team:
Nimmen – 80 Resto Druid
Lewlsfear – 61 Shadow Preist
Menage – 73 Elemental Shaman
Nymin – 60 Balance Druid
Fröstlust – 61 Unholy Death Knight
I had some issues with healing, this was the first time I’ve even tried 5 boxing, let alone with a dedicated healer. My past instance history has been with Nimmen as feral bear tanking with the 3 shaman DPSing/Healing. My DK died a few times because I wasn’t watching his health, and I had some aggro issues that I’ll call inexperience with DK tanking for now.
