Software Requirements
MQ2Boxr (will be loaded automatically with noauto)
Server Type
🏢 Live
Lua-based window switcher. Arranges characters by group, with current character highlighted.

Switcher now uses Lua actors for communication. Switcher must be running on all characters to support display of information and switching. You can use the broadcast mechanism of your choice to start the program on your characters, e.g.
/bcaa //Lua run switcher
Or, to have the program loaded automatically on all characters add this command to ingame.cfg:
/Lua run switcher

If a group leader is not running Switcher then no characters from that group will be shown. If a group member is not running Switcher then they will be shown with a [Merc] label, and cannot be switched to. Mercenaries are shown, but cannot be switched to.

Hovering over the buttons shows help on what they do.

Left-clicking a name switches. Right-clicking targets and faces them, and will open a trade window if they are in range and you have an item on your cursor.

Binds:
/switcher - bring up a list of commands
/switchto <name> or /to <name> - Switches to <name>. Patial matches are supported. If <name> is not provided switches to prior character.
/turnto <name> or /tto <name> - Turns to <name> if in the same zone as you. Patial matches are supported. If <name> is not provided turns to prior character.
/switchup, /switchdown - switch up or down to next character in the list.
/turnup, /turndown - turn up o down to next character in the list (in the same zone)

This small lua has become a staple of my boxing. Excellent!
Really finding this handy when running a few dozen toons at once. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.
I really love the simplicity of Switcher. It easily tucks right into the rest of my UI. Switching characters is always responsive and snappy. The way it highlights the group leader and indents members really makes overseeing your team intuitive. Having the ability to quickly target or initiate a trade with any character in the group also comes in super handy.
This is incredible! No more burning my eyes trying to read partial names on the taskbar. Excellent tool! Many thanks.
simple and amazing!!
this is simple and yet perfect!
