About nkMultiB

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.

    Hi.
    The addon GUI has no text, just the empty gray panels... I tried to install different releases, none works. I tried to remove all other addons, same result... how can I fix that ?

    Also, there's a red message on this site on the "Install" tab of the "About" part of the page. I don't really get what the missing resource does and if it's related to my problem.

    Does this addon still work?

    trying to get my alt lvled up by helping with dailies and the loot command doesnt seem to get "used" I can see that my alt is targeting the same target but is not looting.

    /2 _mbc_ F:Maihere W:Althere C:loot

    even set the above to a macro and same result, my alt targets same mob but will not loot.

    Using channel 2 because my guild uses 1
    Am I doing something wrong or is it the addon's fault?
    just noticed that the addon got a ch4 update so I thought it would work 100%
    Getting something simple as my alt to follow me, works...
  • #73
    Not working anymore. It only makes the first command i ask and then stops working. What to do?
  • #74
    Seems like it stops working when the target im gonna ask something has me as a target
  • #72
    ok i need help. i am aparently doing something completely wrong...

    i am running 2 accts on same comp at same time.
    i am logged onto both of them and in party together.
    i created my own personal channel and trying to get the other character to follow and target my toon.

    i amd typing "F:Tunstall W:Billybeaux C:gettarget OPT1:me"

    and getting no response except on other toon (Billybeaux) saying that the command is wrong.

    i am typing this in the personal channel chat.

    what am i dong wrong
  • #71
    Getting an error when I try to use the automated quest accepting feature, I'm able to get everything to work, the follow, the target, the action button for melee to initiate the actual dialogue box for the feature, but once the button is pressed even if I do it manually I get the following error.

    call nkMultiBCH's OnEvent, line: [string "?"]:220: attempt to call global 'OnClick_SpeakOption' (a nil value)

    using a private channel for the commands and nothing else seems to cause errors thus far and no other addons are installed besides the curse profiler and i've even tried using every old version of the addon to see if there was any difference, still the same everytime.

    Does it still work?
    I tried it but it seams not to work... :(

    An update would be really nice!
    thx
  • #69
    ok, ive been trying and trying to getthis to work but i guess im doing something very wrong maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.
    what im trying to do is have my second toon cast regenerate on me. ive read the help page hundreds of times and im just not getting it right. someone lend me a hand here please.
  • #66
    i hope this comments are still active ^^. my problem: i join group. also my sec char. then i start nkmultib and invite my second char. this works so far. but if i want control my second char nothing happens. i've set the extra channel named for example TestChannel and when its just me and my sec char, the orders work, but not if i'm in another group. then nothing happens. i hope you read this and someone help me.
  • #67
    ok i tested a bit. the first time i logon to both chars (after the is started)the addon works. the second char follows me. but if i change the char (even i choose the same again) they will not follow me. I used the reset button, i changed the custom channel to other names :-( in the command i tried the names of the char and the words me, all
  • #68
    after 5hours i hope i have a solution. in makros i use /script.... and create for every char a new chatchannel, if i use everytime the same group of chars it should work. i will test it, the next days.
  • #60
    Also, is there a way to send a UseSkill command to other nkmultib clients?
  • #63
    /1 _mbc_ F:XXXXXXX W:XXXX C:usebutton OPT1:41

    That uses the skill in button 41 of my hotbar. Is that what you mean?
  • #65
    No, not exactly. In the game you can use the following for a macro:

    /run UseSkill(1,2)

    This will run whatever skill is on page 1 and number 2 in the row. The usebutton will ultimately achieve the same thing, but I have to go through and make sure I have the icon in the correct spot in the correct hotbar on each of my chars.
  • #59
    Hi, first thank you SOOO MUCH to the author Naifu that wrote this. This macro is simply awesome!

    I was hoping someone could help me with this nkmultib macro that I'm having problem with. Basically I just want each person to cast this spell on themselves.

    /cast Soul Bond
    /1 _mbc_ F:Malaxan W:all C:cast OPT1:Soul_Bond OPT2:yourself

    I am getting the following error on the other computers i'm sending this to:

    "nkMultiB: all is not in your party or raid"

    Thanks!
    Malaxan
