Greetings.

I am a fairly new player to RoM and I am an avid double boxer. I am currently working on a warrior and priest combo group. I have read various threads and the wiki page on macro's but all it has done is confused me even more. So here is what I am trying to do, but it doesn't seem to work. Obviously I have left out my player's name and replaced them with just the class name. these are how I am typing them. The name of the macro is not apart of the macro it's self, just a description of the macro to explain here.
[INDENT=2]"Self Heal Macro"
/target "priest"
/cast Regenerate
/target "warrior"

"Auto Follow"
/target "warrior"
/follow
/s I am now following "warrior"
[/INDENT]

Any help to get these into a working macro would be most grateful and I should be able to easy edit them to make more macro's for the priest.

Sincerely,
Tiioak

I don't believe that you can use player or monster names in a macro.. but I could be wrong.

I thought multi-boxing was against the ToS

multi boxing using an outside program is. using in game functions is not

Multi-boxing (Using multiple clients on MULTIPLE COMPUTERS) is against the ToS. Using multiple clients on the SAME computer is legal.

You can't target by name, but you can use the Lua API to target party members etc.

Put both characters in the same group (if they aren't already) and then you can set your target with:

This will target the first party member. Use "player" for self and "party2", "party3" etc for other party members, use "raid1" to "raid36" for raid members. Use "target" for current target and "pet" to target your pet (if you have one).

You can also mix and match these, so to target the same thing as the first party member's pet is targeting you could use "party1pettarget" etc.

So anyway, the Priest's self-heal macro could be:


For your auto-follow macro, though I can't remember if there is in fact a /follow command, the game's Lua API does have one so you could use:

Note that the above doesn't actually target the party member. But you could modify it to do that as well of course.

I am multiboxing ( 2 computers, 2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 accounts ) I am not multi-clinenting ( 1 computer, 2 accounts ). I am not breaking any terms of service. I am trying to make it easier to 1 button heal my priest while in combat so that I don't have to grab the other mouse. Anyways please stay on topic, which is i need help making a macro to self target the priest and heal and then re-target my warrior.

Actually, yes you are (or at least used to). Read the ToS when you start the game. Multi-boxing is not allowed. Multi-Clienting however is all-right as long as no external software is used to communicate between the two clients. That includes any special keyboard redirection software BTW.

Quoted from "Tiioak;541694"

So from the loading screen
" You may access the System and use it to play the Game from any single computer or game platform. You shall not access the System or play the Game concurrently on different computers and/or game platforms."

that only pertains to trying to run 1 account on multiple computers from what i understand. it doesn't say anything about 2 different accounts on 2 computers or that is what i understand.

Multi-boxing requires multiple computers. Which as you've just quoted, is against the terms of service. Accounts have nothing to do with it.

To clarify, that second sentence specifically disallows multi-boxing.

Well, I'm sorry but their T.o.S. is so thin it is hard to understand.

Welcome to the wonderful wacky world of Legalese! Where if it doesn't confuse you, it'll put you to sleep!

Quoted from "Tiioak;541749"

If going by what you said here, then families could not play the game together cause they would all be logging into the game on the same IP address. That would count as mutli-boxing too.

Not really. To re-iterate the quote in question:

Quoted from "Terms of Service"

You shall not access the System or play the Game concurrently on different computers and/or game platforms.

The "You" here refers to you as an individual. So two different people playing on two different computers are fine. It is the single person playing on two different computers that is bad. "System" would refer to the game servers and and pretty much anything else you could "access", while "Play the Game" is exactly what it says. "Different computers" is rather obvious here and "Game Platforms" refers to things other than PCs such as game consoles (if they had a version or were planning one in the future) and would also cover the web browser version currently active on the EU servers.

Technically, the above would also apply if you had the second computer accessing a completely different game server. It is still up in the air if this would apply to accessing the US servers on one machine and the EU servers on the other since one can argue that they are different "Systems".

Quoted from "Tiioak;541749"

But none the less I have had this game installed for a year or so now and have always ran 2 accounts on 2 computers with no problems. I think they would only care about a mutli-boxer is if they was doing it to make a profit or spam the game.

The main reason they disallow multi-boxing really and therefore likely they aren't concerned. Never the less, it is something in the ToS and they can therefore ban, block, or otherwise reprimand you for it. Just something to keep in mind (and others reading this of course).

Thanks again though, the macro's worked for what I needed.

Glad I could help.
