Clicking group member names targets and faces the member, then left-clicks them. If you are holding an item this will open a trade window (helpful when they are in a tight bunch). Right clicking a name switches to that member. The arrows beside the names indicate current invis status (INV and IVU). These refresh every second or so (will hopefully be switching to Dannet observers eventually, but currently using one-off queries).

The MA will be indicated in green. The program will automatically assign the MA/MT role to the same person (if you have set one). If neither is set then it tries to find a tank(ish) character and assign them the role. This is a work in progress and feedback on role assignments would be welcome.

The rest of the window provides typical group utility buttons. These contain modified forms of Sic's Hot Keys and other things I found. In addition to clicking, almost all functions can be accessed via the /grouper bind, e.g.,
INI:
    /grouper scatter
    /grouper campon

Multiple binds can be combined. The following will unpause toons, camp off, pause toons, invis, set them to following, and beep when all is done. You can put this in a hotkey labelled 'Move' or some such.
INI:
/grouper resume campoff pause invis follow beep

The Invis button tries to cast dual invis on your group. It automatically determines the best invis:
- bard (Selo's and Shauri's) - insta-cast
- group permanent INV and IVU if two casters - not really insta-cast
- group permanent INV and IVU if a caster and IVU caster (e.g., SK, PAL, CLR) - not insta-cast
- single IVU or INV otherwise
This mostly works, but does not currently account for caster level, so may not work for lower level groups. One of the things on the list.

The 3 'mode' buttons (Camp Off, Camp On, Chase) are currently set up for how I like them. Currently not configurable, but may be eventually.
Camp Off puts everyone in Manual mode (/boxr manual). They will be passive.
Camp On sets camp (i.e., /boxr camp), puts the MA into SicTank mode (CWTN only), and updates camp radius
Chase sets puts everyone in manual mode first (/boxr manual), then enables chase (/boxr chase) and puts MA in Vorpal mode (CWTN only)

The Setup button loads and sets up the following (!!!USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - MODIFIES YOUR SETTINGS!!!):
MQ2AutoAccept for all in group
MQ2Rez (90%, no delay)
MQ2AASpend (53214, bank 200, brute)
MQ2Boxr
- creates and reloads cwtn aliases (cwtn, cwtna, cwtnr, cwtnra)

This is very much a work in progress. I have tested it with a CWTN tank/assist/driver and a mix of CWTN / KA. I set up basic support for KA and MA macros, and there is nothing stopping them from being used on the MA/driver but it will not change their roles (i.e., a Tank is a Tank).

Functionality with KA toons seems to work, but every so often KA does something where commands are ignored. So Chase may not get enabled, or some rapid clicks of the camp radius buttons may be missed. May be fixable by adjusting some timeouts. Let me know if you run into any major problems.

The button layout and grouping is likely not final. The list of possible enhancements is longer than I care to think, but I think it is sufficiently functional to put out there.
