About M.A.M.A. Multiboxing
MAMA is an open-source MultiBoxing (dual-boxing) addon with the following design goals:
-
Opensource license (so if the current author gets hit by a bus, anyone else can pick it up and/or make improvements)
-
High quality code
-
Minimal dependencies
-
Low footprint (both memory and cpu and addon chatter)
-
Works with a single code base on both Wow Classic and regular (SL as of this writing)
-
Let's you have dynamic teams with or without ISBoxer
M.A.M.A. stands for MooreaTv's/minimal yet Awesome Multiboxing Assistant in reverence to grandfather of all (good) multi-boxing addons: Jamba (Jafula's Awesome MultiBoxing Assistant), which also inspired the EMA name.
Optionally: have a look at WowOpenBox.org for the only open-source windows multiboxing software verifiably compliant with Blizzard's new rules.
What does it do ?
Right now M.A.M.A relies on my DynamicBoxer for a lot of the functionality
-
Let's you use DynamicBoxer without requiring the now banned ISBoxer, including fast in order invite/disband, EMA sync, etc... just set your window slot # in the options panel or with
/mama s N
. -
Let's you keybind or slash command "followme" and "promoteme" (
/mama f
and/mama l
respectively) -
/mama altogether
and keybinding to do both "follow me" and "make me lead" in one efficient command. (1 addon message). -
add
/click MamaAssist
in front of your macro to assist whoever you are leading with. (you can/mama lead othertoon
to assist another character like a tank when it's not your own/you joined another party) -
/mama mount
and/mama mount dismount
and keybindings for mounting/dismounting as a team. Note that only dismount works in classic. -
Set EMA master when setting group lead (if EMA is installed and config checkbox is on, but
/click MamaAssist
is faster and more reliable) -
Set loot to free for all (and back to group when inviting extra)
-
Share/accept quests on minions, Abandon quests as a team.
-
Take same flight path as your team
-
and more coming quite often... see
/mama
and/mama config
Input on feature prioritization is most welcome!
Mama might eventually also ensure your multiboxing or dual boxing team can do stuff like:
-
Auto vendor/repair
-
And more features per your request(s) !
Mama works well in conjunction with ISBoxer and DynamicBoxer but also with other multiboxing software or hardware
Setup
As mentioned above there is a one time setup/pairing with DynamicBoxer:
/mama s 1
in window 1, /mama s 2
in window 2, /mama s 3
in window 3 etc... then copy the token from dynamicboxer window 1 and paste in the other windows. Type return after Ctrl-C
(copy) from window1 then paste Ctrl-V
in all other windows as prompted. It may take a /reload
the first time to complete the one time setup.
Set in game keybind for "mama alltogether" so you can trigger both follow me and make leader in 1 key/addon message. (and the other commands too)
Add /click MamaAssist
in front of your macro to assist whoever you are leading with.
If you see anything red in the dbox-mama blue status window: something is wrong! try /reload
and read the messages in the chat window if it persists. Repeat the setup carefully (/dbox show
if you closed the dialog) and if that still doesn't work come to discord.
