    Default Batch Files -- WoW Maximizer?

    Hello!!

    Could someone possibly create a batch file for WoW maximizer to put . One screen on my main monitor. Then 2 screens on the other monitor to the right?


    Thanks!

  2. #2

    Default

    why not just do it on the command line of the shortcut launching wow?

    main:
    [code:1]"<path>\maximizer.exe" --display=1 --margin=0,1,0,0[/code:1]

    assuming 1280x1024
    clone 1:
    [code:1]"<path>\maximizer.exe" --display=2 --margin=0,512,0,598[/code:1]

    clone 1:
    [code:1]"<path>\maximizer.exe" --display=2 --margin=512,0,0,598[/code:1]

    this will create 2x slightly scaled (res / 1.172) 800x600 (682 x 512) windows they are scaled so you can fit them tiled vertically

    This is what I used to use.

    if you have 1600x1200 then you can use native resolution and the margins parameter should look like [code:1]--margins=0,600,0,800[/code:1]

    with the --margin command remember the numbers represent the space to leave outside the display window: top,bottom, left, right

    That is not working for me at all.

    What I used for 5 boxing, was a .bat file.

    [code:1]REM batch file to launch 5 evenly spaced wows
    REM Left monitor
    c:\wow1\maximizer.exe --margin 0,0,0,1280
    REM upper right of right mon
    c:\wow2\maximizer.exe --margin 0,512,1920,0
    REM upper left of right mon
    c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 0,512,1280,640
    REM lower right of right mon
    c:\wow4\maximizer.exe --margin 512,0,1920,0
    REM lower left of right mon
    c:\wow5\maximizer.exe --margin 512,0,1280,640 [/code:1]

    This would put 4 boxes in right monitor. One main on left.

    Ignoring this.

    I have 3 monitors now.


    Tri-setup. One in the middle 2 on the sides.

    Now, since I use horizontal span, the game won't let me place the games as 1280x1024.

    Can someone help me set it up so I can have the games maximized 1280x1024 on each screen?

    Thanks

    What res are you working at?

    basically you want margins to be 0,0,left,right

    where left = distance from left edge ~

    left monitor = 0,
    center = resolution of left monitor and
    right = res of left and center monitors

    and right = distance fromt he right edge e.g.

    left = res of center monitor + res of right monitor,
    center = res of right monitor
    right = 0

    that easier?

    Default

    each monitor has a max resolution of 1280x1024

  7. #7

    Default

    so you have 3840 x 1024?

    here are the numbers you would want to use to put 1 full screen on the middle monitor, and divide the 2 side monitors up.


    left monitor
    0,2560,0,512
    0,2560,512,0

    middle monitor
    1280,1280,0,0

    right monitor
    2560,0,0,512
    2560,0,512,0

    just did the math in my head, so don't kill me if its not right, i'm also too lazy to check it

    Thank you very much sir for help!! except I am tri-boxing, not 5 boxing

    But thanks!!! If you could just "do math on your head" again , that'd be awesome

  9. #9

    Default

    left
    0,2560,0,0

    middle
    1280,1280,0,0

    right 0,2560,0,0


    see how it works now?

    first number: how far to put the left edge of the window from the left edge of the screen.

    second number: how far to put the right edge of the window from the right edge of the screen

    3rd: how far to put the top edge of the window from the top edge of the screen

    4th: how far to put the bottom edge of the window from the bottom edge of the screen
