nkMultiB is an addon to support MultiBoxing for people using multiple PCs. It's purpose is to enable the player to send commands from one Runes Of Magic instance to others.
Some of the commands have to be confirmed with the nkMBAction() function.
Please see the ingame help for detail information about the individual commands.
The addon supports the following functionality:
- Tell a unit to target something
- Tell a unit to cast a spell (and target something before)
- Tell a unit to use an action button (and target something before)
- Tell a unit to follow a player
- Tell a unit to stop following a player
- Tell a unit to loot a mob
- Quest automation (optional)
- Auto join / creation of custom communication channel (optional)
In addition any char which has the addon installed will automatically the following if initiated by a char which is on the friends list:
- Group invites
- Ressurrects
You can access the Configuration GUI by using the chat command /nkmultib. You can hide (or show) the GUI by using the chat command /nkmultib toggle.
HowTo
Please see the Help Tab in the addon's GUI for detail information about commands etc.
- Install the addon on all the Runes Of Magic instances (PCs) you are using.
- After starting all account and logging into your chars group them in a party.
If you hide the GUI you can access it again by typing /nkmultib into the chat.
nkMultiB works by issuing and recognizing preset chat commands. The can be either typed manually in a channel (party or custom) or (recommended) issued by a macro put on the action bar. Actually even whisper would work, but only vs. 1 char of course.
In case you plan to MultiBox while being in a party with others I highly recommend to create a custom channel and enter it with all of your chars. This will prevent the other party members from seeing the commands issued.
If you invite your 'team mates' using the invite button of the addon's GUI, the addon will create a custom channel and the invited char will automatically join it. Howerver this does not always work properly. In case you want to use that functionality please provide a custom channel name in the settings.
I recommend to create the channel with your 'main char' and have the addon try to join automatically on the other chars. If things don't work out, simply continue to join the channels manually.
For the cast, usebutton and loot command to work the boxer have to run nkMBAction() after he have recieved the command.
Quest automation
This function will - if activated - automatically finish all completed quests and acceppt all new quests if talking to quest NPC. This can be used to have your controlled chars do the same. Simply send them a command to target the quest NPC and to use the melee action (usebutton). Sounds strange but that's the way to do it.
WARNING This function will be in conflict with similar functionality of other addons. In most cases your client will crash if another addon will also modify the NPC talkframe behavior.
Know addons: StreamLine
This is not the fault of either addon. It simply that two addons cannot do similar things at the same time ... So either use one or the other.
Command structure
_mbc_ F:<PlayerName> W:<OtherPlayerName> C:<Command> OPT1:<Option1> OPT2:<Option2>
For example:
_mbc_ F:Suviel W:Naifu C:cast OPT1:Regenerieren OPT2:mytarget
Please see the ingame help for detail information about the individual commands.

Are you going to make this automatic (the execution of the macro /run nkMBAction() for the toon)? otherwise the addon will'be useless :(
Or is there something (configuration) that i haven't understand?

avatax Aug 02, 2011 at 14:19 UTC - 0 likesHI, nice to see you revive this addon (i used it at the very first time of RoM, till it broke).
Follow, halt and gettarget works well, but not useaction nor cast command.
The following sintax:
/1 _mbc_ F:Master W:Soldier C:usebutton OPT1:01
/1 _mbc_ F:Master W:Soldier C:cast OPT1:Regenerate OPT2:mytarget
are correct or i make some mistake?(in the cast command Soldier acquire Master's target but doesnt' cast nothing).
BB and tnx for your work.

magicalkeys Jul 28, 2011 at 10:31 UTC - 0 likesSame here, after fiddling with the macros I got it as far as to let my toon follow the main or target his target, but looting or usebutton doesn't seem to work. I think I'm doing something wrong so I too like an example for this. :)

EDIT: ah. it's meant for more chars at once > no whispers
