PC Game Tools is proud to introduce the Control Assistant! This program was written to control multiple characters in World of Warcraft, Everquest 1, Everquest 2, Vanguard, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer, SWG, DAoC and more. Commonly called "2 Boxing". It has numerous functions that are listed below, but primarily we were looking to make a tool that could ease all the repetitive tasks we do on our main character and tell our other characters what to do while we just concentrate on playing. We still play our main characters, but the Control Assistant helps run through all our heals, combat styles, recasts our DoTs on time, etc. without having to mash buttons constantly and gives us the luxury of running out of the room for a bit or talking to our spouse without having our character stop ;).
The other main function of the Control Assistant is that it is a "remote control" for our "bots" by sending commands to our boxing tools (Heal, Combat and Boxin' Assistants). The commands you send work through the log file functionality or a direct network connection. Unfortunately, many of today's games do not support real time log files anymore, so this tool bypasses that problem and lets you send commands directly from the Control Assistant to your boxing tool via a shared network file or even through our Pearl Link network system. Another important feature we have added by request is the ability to control a second character that is running the same computer via this tool (be sure to try the demo if you want to do this, as it may not work with every game). The Control Assistant has greatly enhanced our gaming; we hope it does for you as well! With the new Mini Macro system you can tweak the tool to do about anything you can by hand. Repeat keys, hold down keys, click the mouse a few times, take quests, ect... They can also be sent over Pearl Link directly to the Boxin Assistants.
A typical setup: I setup The Control Assistant so I can pull a mob and hit it. The tool then takes over seamlessly using my battle settings, slowing, dotting and healing the group as needed. It also tells my other boxes to join me in combat. After the mob is dead The Control Assistant tells the others to stop and goes into standby waiting on me to pull another mob. It can loot and click boxes if needed. All the while watching my buffs in case they need to be recast. So when grinding for hours this this tools saves an incredible amount of clicking by automating all the repetitive tasks.
Power Leveling: A favorite past time of ours is running around with a newbie group while a higher level healer buffs and heals us. This is sometimes difficult by them being outside the group. Not anymore! You can use the control assistant to watch your groups health bars in the group and tell a higher level healer "outside" your group (Running the Heal or Boxin Assistant) who needs healing. So you can play the fun classes and never worry about heals or buffs at all. Just press start and the whole group has a dedicated healer who never goes afk. Fun!
2 Box multiple characters on the same PC: With the inactive window controls you can 2 box up to 5 characters on the same PC. Control 5 wow characters on the same computer! Works nice with vanguard to but who can run it... This feature is not working with EQ2 so if you plan to use this please download the demo and give it a test first.
This tool was designed with remote control in mind. Most all the features can control our other programs. Lets cover some of the tools abilities so you can get an idea of what is available.
New in the 5.0 release:
-
Mini Macros!: Mini Macros are an embedded scripting language. All command and target boxes that would normally take a key press like 1 can also use a Mini Macro. These are really powerful and allow you to write your own function for every action. You can send multiple key presses, random pauses, hold down keys, type commands, repeat keys several times, shift click the mouse, for each action... Mini macros can be sent to your game window and across the Pearl Link connection directly to the Boxin Assistant. So you can bind one key to a Mini Macro and have your whole group click the screen, back up, wait a random time, take a quest ect... Change from dual wield to a shield. Load a different spell set... Even keys stringed together like: "hutk2". Only your imagination limits you.
-
A Mini Macro Builder: is integrated into the tool now. This window allows you to construct your own Mini Macro to do what ever you want and simplifies creating complex macros. When complete you just click copy and paste it into your action box.
-
On Battle Start and Stop: The battle window has been revamped and at the bottom of the window there is now on Battle Start and on Battle Stop commands. These commands can contain a Mini Macro and are sent at the beginning and ending of battle. We have found them greatly helpful. For instance you can have a bow class take a few steps back at the start of battle. Then at the end of the fight target, follow you and loot. When Boxin several characters add a random pause on Battle Start so they all start combat at different times.
-
Color Check Variance Controls: These new control's located in tool settings adjusts the color sensitivity and search area of all color checks in the tool. If heals are being triggered to often due to slight variances in the health bar color or location you can increase these to fix it.
-
Context Sensitive Tips: All controls now have tool tips that explain what they do and what you should enter into them.
-
Rebuff Group Command: There is a new control at the bottom of the Buff window that allows you to recast all the buffs and tell your Boxin Assistants to all rebuff as well. Really handy after a group wipe.
-
Auto Start Pearl Link: You can now auto start Pearl Link. When checked the Control Assistant will auto start the server and the Boxin Assistants will auto connect. So just open the Control Assistant and then the Boxin Assistants and they will auto link. Just open them and start hunting.
-
Master Loot Controls: We added a Master Loot Control window that allows you to assign one hot key for looting. You can send a Mini Macro to your game, text to the log file, and a Mini Macro over Pearl Link with the one key press. So press one key and your whole group can loot. We find this so helpful these days with all the collection quests we have do when boxing several characters. You will not want to play without this once you try it!
-
20 Battle Actions with fully customizable color checks, cast times and recast times. 5 for melee with no power checks made and 15 that have to pass the power threshold to be cast.
-
24 Single Target Buffs that have fully customizable target, cast and recast settings.
-
8 Buff Sets. These can cast a buff on 9 targets or can be reversed to cast 8 buffs on 1 target. Great for easing the strain of buffing full groups. Press 1 key and cast 96 buffs!
-
20 Visual Triggers that can watch the screen and and send a key, click the mouse or both along with cast and recast times. They can be used for healing your group or simply camping and clicking something.
-
NEW!
Pearl Link Network System: allows you to link to the boxin assistant and send keys directly to their screen without a log file. -
Remote Log File Writing: Most games today avoid active log files and it makes boxing more difficult. The Control Assistant can write your own log file to control other machines in real time and privately. Most all actions can be logged so your Boxin' Assistant, Heal Assistant and Combat Assistant can be controlled through your network.
-
Inactive Window Controls. You can send keys to an inactive game window which can help you 2 box on the same machine. Play one window and send keys to the other as well. * Note: This feature does not work in all games due to the way they handle input! You can test your settings with notepad though, which always works. Please try the demo if you plan to use it for this!
-
Priority System: All actions in The Control Assistant have a "priority" attached to them. This allows the tool to make intelligent decisions on what needs to be done next. The Control Assistant simulates multi-tasking by constantly scanning the screen for something that needs to be done and then adding it into a queue. The queue constantly runs executing the highest priority item. The priority system runs from 1 to 100 with 100 being a top priority or emergency and 1 as least important.
-
User Profile System: Create all the profiles that you need. Each profile can have all their own settings, skin choice and more.
-
Monitor System: That displays what The Control Assistant is doing.
-
20 Skin choices. Each profile can have its own skin choice.
-
Totally stand alone tool that depends on nothing outside of itself. Nothing else to install. The tool is not dependant on any game and their patches will not affect it. It is simply a "Screen Reader". It reads colors (that you setup) and sends the keys (that you set up) accordingly at the time you specify and tries to do it all in an intelligent way.
-
Extremely versatile. No color settings or locations are hard written into the program. You can tweak every detail of where to check, what to check for and specify the reactions. It is extremely detailed and customizable. There are over 1,500 saved settings per user profile.

-
Profile management that allows you to have an unlimited number of characters saved in the tool. Load any one of them on the fly. Change from game to game with a click. The tool automatically loads the last profile used on startup. Features to "Save As" and "Rename" profiles.

-
Small unobtrusive interface that keeps you updated on exactly what the tool is doing at that particular moment at a glance CTRL+Right click to move..
-
Customizable Window Title: The window can be named anything that you like.
