Unable to cast anything

I went through basic wizard setup for WoW. Both accounts started properly and I started with my first key bindings. Now what I am unable to do:

I can easily send key strokes to another window saying to my other char to open maps or bags or focus party memebers etc.

It just did not do anything when I want to cast a spell. I was trying to send all possible combinations like 1 or shift+1 or so to the other character to make it cast the spell lacated on that bar (1 or shifp +1), but it does not work. Let me tell you an example. When I activate window with char 2 and press 1 (healing) so he heals himself well. When I send the same key stroke from the other char game window - nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong ?

Without seeing your configuration, here's my suggestions.

1. Make sure you understand the difference between having Key Maps on and "Broadcasting" on: http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Quick_Start_Guide#Understanding_Key_Maps_vs_Repeater. It sounds like you probably understand the concept, but check out the link anyway (the entire Quick Start Guide is extremely helpful for getting started!)

2. It sounds like you might adding new Key Maps to the basic setup, as opposed to adding your own Mapped Keys to an existing Key Map. That's perfectly fine, you just need to make sure your new Key Map is assigned to your Character Set. Note that if you assign a Key Map to a specific Character instead of the Character Set, the Hotkeys you set up will ONLY work if that window is the active window. If you're using additional Key Maps, this post has info on a few other things that might help you to know: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2896#p2896

3. This section of the Quick Start Guide explains how to quickly add lots of broadcasting hotkeys at once with minimal time/effort: http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Quick_Start_Guide#Quickly_add_many_hotkeys.2C_optionally_with_auto-assist

If you still need help after that, show me your configuration as you have it set up and I'll help you with whatever might be wrong. Information on how to do that safely is here: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=13

Let me start it all over again with a clean table.

- went throught the standard setup wizard for WoW (battle net accounts and char names were configured)
- made two new groups in the "Key maps" section named "my_char_Liiam" and "my_char_Liiom"
- added two new mapped keys under "my_char_Liiam" with names "dummy_1" and "dummy_2" activated by num1 and num2 (numpad keys)
- added new "key_stroke_action" for step 1 for each of those two key mappings with target "Character Slot:2(Liiom-Burning Blade)"
- dummy_1 should send "B" (open bag) to the other char window
- dummy_2 should send "F2" (select party member 1) to the other char window
- now it is time to drag and drop this "my_char_Liiam" set of mapped keys to my character tree in "characters" section - did that
- now when I click on "characters" section Liaam-Burnind Blade I can see "my_char_Liamm" key set in "Key Maps" section
- oh yes and of course SAVE ....
- Now it is time to start both of my accounts using Inner Space.


Lets try to do first tests of my heavy programming.

- both characters are now started and loggen in and a party was formed as well as key mappings were propagated from Inner Space
- main window is Liiam window and I am testing my key mappings.
- pressing num1 invoked Liioms bag window in the second character window (desired result)
- pressing num2 invoked Liiom set focus on Liiam in the second character window (desired result)

Now lets try some advanced tricks by letting Lioom open his bag window and then letting him to sit down by adding one more action to the step 1 in dummy_1 key mapping.

- new action added (sending key stroke X to the other char window)
- Liiom opened his bag and sat down after I pressed num1 when being switched to Liiam window.

So all I was now testing is working fine as it should be. Lets try to hop to the "hot grounds" and add one more action for pressing button 2 (Flash Heal on Liooms interface)


- Liiom is casting "Flash Heal" ... unbeliveable !!! I did not do anything different from my previous attempts
- 10 minutes of more testing passed by
- 10 minutes in rage state, because I figured out where was the problem

Czech language has some special characters which are located on our keyboard layouts on the top of the numbers. When I am in a czech mode keyboard so pressing key 2
will produce letter e with a little hook on ther top etc. Now you see .... 2 need not to 2 .... pressing 2 can produce this e letter and there is the problem ....

Now I need to figure out how to run WoW instances with english keyboard layout active ..... DAMN czech language.

You software interface is pretty easy to use and mess around and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.

Thanks for your reply which kicked up my lazy brain to try to think about it and do some regular test-case ......

I can test with Czech keyboard settings and correct the issue if that's the problem

Windows lists Czech, Czech (QWERTY), Czech Programmers as possible choices in the Region and Language settings for Czech keyboards. I assume you're using the regular "Czech" one?

The only two things you can actually do is to put either some kind of reminder for non native english users to watch this possible source of problems with keyboard layouts or you can code it to prevent game windows and isboxer editor using different keyboard layouts of different language character sets. I know now where the problem was so I can easily prevent my computer to do such a mess in my "key strokes"

Yes I am using czech keyboard layout. (czech querty) - there is also another layout, but the only difference is the keys/letter Z and Y are switched. I am using it just because of answering my czech friends e-mails. I could use it without those special characters as well and everyone would understand it, but it would not look good and I do not want to became barbaric to start skipping those special letters.

AltGr is fixed for Czech layouts as of Inner Space build 5369, which is now the current dev build of Inner Space. Right click IS in the system tray (notification area), select Patcher, check "Download development (test) patches", then close and restart Inner Space.

I am really impressed by your qick reaction and quick fix. This is what I call "the support".

Have a nice day.

Glad to help
