Need Help with Round Robin

Hi, I am fairly new to Isboxer, and I multiboxing 4 diablos and I just love this program.

I am currently trying to get round robin working on all 4 of my D3's. I went to new keymap wizard, selected round robin, and put in 4 as my hotkey. Then saved and exported it. When I press 4 it sends "4" to first window, but when I press 4 again nothing for like 2-3 presses, then it will send it to another window. If I keep pressing 4 it will eventually hit all 4o windows but not in order and not at the same quantity. Some windows will receive it 3-4 times while another only 1-2.

What am I doing wrong here guys? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Man this is driving me nuts, I been messing with this for like 2 hours. Anyone have any ideas why this isnt working? It will round robin like only 2 windows and if I keep pressing it really fast it will eventually hit a 3rd window and then sometimes the 4th, but mostly just the 2 windows. Its so weird. I'v tried everything, even making a brand new setup in Isboxer, but nothing is working.

Forum posts do take some patience

Show us your configuration so we can have some inkling of an idea as to what's happening. There's a sticky at the top of the forum "HOWTO Share your configuration for better support" and also the Configuration Sharing page on the wiki to explain how to do so

Your pasted configuration doesn't seem to include any Round-robin Mapped Keys.

I don't see a reason, though, that if it did have a key like the one you described, that it wouldn't work. Regarding it going "in order" that may or may not happen depending on the order the game windows came up.

If your Game Profile is bringing up the D3 launcher, you can try reconfiguring to skip that and only launch the client. To do that you can use Add Game from the Inner Space menu, point it at Diablo III.exe in your D3 folder, and in the "Parameters" box put "-launch" with no quotes.

Aside from that, make sure you don't have any ghost processes in Task Manager that might be related to Diablo 3 instances launched by ISBoxer.

You can also observe whether ISBoxer is sending the key or not:
1. In the game press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+G to bring up the ISBoxer Control Panel
2. Click the debugging tab
3. Tick "Button"
4. Click "Show debugging console"
5. Press your Round-robin Hotkey, and look at the debugging console in each window to see what happened

Awesome thanks for the help, I made the changes you recommended and tried the debugging info. I had deleted the Round robin before I made that paste , Here is the one below that has round robin that is not working. It def does not go in order of windows that opened, and it just seems to be random. Usually it will do is1 and is3 at same time, then maybe do is4 then is2 after it has done is1 and is3 a few more times, its all whacked out lol. I tried the debugging info you said, it will say buttonfromrepeater@is4: nomodifiers 1, where 1 is my round robin. But it will only show that if I spam 1 like 10 times.

Here is the config I am running right now.

Usually it will do is1 and is3 at same time

It's not possible for it to do that. Unless you're holding Shift (or Ctrl or Alt) at the time, in which case Shift+1 is going to go to all windows.

To handle Shift+1, Right click your "Round-Robin 1" Mapped Key and select "Create Alternate Hotkey"; then click on "Round-Robin 1 - Alternate" and in the Hotkey box to the right, give it Shift+1 as the Hotkey.

This way, whether you are holding Shift or not, it will activate your Round-Robin of 1 instead of going to all windows.

It def does not go in order of windows that opened, and it just seems to be random

It's not possible for it to be random either, it's not guaranteed to go 1 2 3 4 exactly, it might be 1 3 2 4, but the order will remain the same until the group of windows in the Target (Window:All w/ Current) changes. If you want to enforce a specific order, TYPE or PASTE in the Target box: "(is1,is2,is3,is4)&all" with no quotes. (Advanced Target Mechanics)

I am obviously doing something wrong but I just can't figure out what. I know you proabably think I am crazy but I promise I am not lieing. I am not using any modifiers, and just using keyboard. If I set say 1 to round robin, it will go in order but it doesn't hit every window.

Here I will write down step for step what I am doing, and maybe you can help me figure out where I am going wrong. Just for the sake of trouble shooting I will try to as detailed as possible and write down every little detail that I do so that maybe you can figure out where I am going wrong, or what is happening here.

I go to Keymaps, then Always On, and right click and select mapped key wizard.
Then I select Round Robin Key Broadcast>> Then I click on the hotkey spot and hit 1 and it will show up in the small box below. I leave the Activate when hotkey is released to default setting and Hit finish.
Now under Mapped Keys it says Round-Robin 1.
I hit save and export all to inner space.
Now all my Diablo 3 clients are loaded in order and they say at the bottom is1,is2,is3,is4 in that order.
I spread out my character in game so that they match the above order and assign a ability to 1 so that I can clearly see when it is activated.
I press 1 the first time and is1 uses hotkey "1" in game like it should.
I press 1 again and nothing happens, I press 1 again and is2 used hotkey "1".
I press 1 again and nothing happens, I press it again and is3 used hotkey "1", I press 1 again and nothing happens, I press 1 again and is4 used Hotkey "1"
I pressed 1 again 5 more times and nothing happens, then I pressed 1 again and Is1 used hotkey "1".

This then repeats with the same exact count. 2 times between is2,is3,is4 and then after is4 on the 6th press it will fire off on is1 and repeats exactly like that over and over.


I have even swapped out keyboard thinking that it may be a hardware issue. I have a brand new razer blackwidow and Orbweaver gamepad, and it does the same thing whether I am using my orbweaver or blackwidow, or my razer Maurader keyboard. I am at my wits end trying to get this working correctly. What I wanted to do was set my number 1 ability to frost nova and cycle it when playing my 4 wizards so that I could have a wizard cast a frost nova every 3 seconds in order every time the hotkey is pressed, but instead I never know when it will work or not and find myself spamming the hotkey and eventually 1 or 2 may fire off at once.

Do you have any suggestions that I can try? Please, I just really want to get this working if you don't mind helping me out.

EDIT: I just wanted to add I been swapping between which client is active when trying and does not seem to matter. But I do notice that it does every once in while fire off on 2 clients at the exact same time. Its like it was delayed, I pressed it once and nothing then again and is2, is3 fired off.

You could try the old way of doing a round-robin.

Make a mapped key, with whatever trigger you want.
It can be "1", if you like that key.

Give the mapped key one step for each target that you would like to round-robin.

Have step 1, send the 1 to the first client.
Have step 2, send the 1 to the second client.
Etc.

You can have more than one action on each step, but the game will limit what it can do at one time.
So while Step 1 might be able to send both 1 and 2 to the game, chances are only one of those could fire off.
However, you could include a Pop Up Text Action, in each step, in addition to sending the straight "1" to the correct client/window.
That would let you know if the step if firing off.

You can also check the box and set a time, so that the round-robin cannot advance to the next step for whatever time.
If your ability was something that you would not want spammed up immediately... possibly prevent the step from advancing for 1 second, so you won't accidentally have it fire off twice if you spam the key.



The check the box, round-robin should accomplish the same thing...
Not sure why its not working for you.

I finally got this thing fixed was a nightmare. I uninstalled innerspace/isboxer and started over with new install and new setup and now my round robin is working perfectly. This was a nightmare and wasted so much time, but if anyone else is having these issues maybe you can learn from this and just reinstall the program.
