[EQ] setting up cast bars/heals/nukes

ive been fooling around with ISBoxer for a couple days now and i am at a loss.

if there is anyway for someone to write a guide or if there already is one. to set up healing on mouseover on the tank as well as use of nukes and pressing hotkeys that are on another screen while still playing as tank.

my setup uses A LOT of ingame macros to do multiple things such as using /melodys /pet attacks and casting/pausing and casting multiple spells

i have it set up to assist the screen i currently play but i cant seem to figure out how to get my healers to heal and mage/wiz to nuke while pulling on my tank screen

I'm going to use the image below to explain how I used to do it. Disclaimer: I only got this team to about level 36 with this method.

From what I remember, Everquest lacks two important features for mouseover healing: mouseover macros and a consistent party order across characters in a group.

The image above shows one way of getting around this problem by using Video FX with mouse passthru to your healer's hotbars. Still, using that method I needed in-game macros on my cleric to target individual party members and cast heals. I also had an "assist tank" macro on each character.

I think the basic concept you are looking for is the Mapped Key. This allows you to press a key on your keyboard (a Hotkey) and potentially (using Keystrokes Actions) send a different keypress (Key Combination) to each game window. As long as the Key Combinations you send are bound to something in-game the appropriate action should result. You might press the 1 key to have all you characters assist the tank, the 2 key to do the main attack, etc.
