[Octopus] KVM / Maximizer Questions

[Garvin]

Hi, I'm trying to get a Mage / Lock dual-box running and I have a 1680x1020 flatscreen as my main monitor, I also have a default dell CVR Monitor, I'm not sure it's size so I just set it 800x600.

I've reviewed many many tutorials and havn't found one dedicated directly toward dual-boxing with 1 display on each monitor. It seems like each tutorial I read is about 5-10 boxing and is more difficult then what dual-boxing should be. Although, the wiki Octopus Tutorial ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Octopus_Tutorial') was closest thing I could find to what I needed, I set my main to w- 1680 h-1050 and 800x600 for my other monitor(not sure it's actual size), Although that tutorial is talking about linking different PCs to each monitor, I'm using 1 PC but trying to split between 2 monitors.

If anyone has a link to a guide, tutorial, or any bit of information that I could use or that I may have overlooked, Please post them here.

Thanks!! ^^

Just a side note: I plan to buy Keyclone's program, I just have not got around to it yet. Octopus is just my test to make sure I'm able to multibox, if it's not so difficult I'll buy keyclone's program. :thumbsup:

Same thing, but when you're setting up the Instance for the second monitor, click the "+" button in the Profiles window to change it to Display 2. ;) So when you go into the profiles setup, you'll see a line like this:

[k][ c] WoW (2nd monitor) (localhost:WoW2@play/2)

Side Note: Motion A / B is Mage / Lock just using same things as in the octopus tutorial and will change once I get it working. Tried using search function incase someone has had this error before, I guess I'm the first or everyone else has fixed it themself.


Ok, I got that now I try to 'Run All' instances and it gets me this:

[09:17] Broadcast paused.
[10:59] MotionA - maximize area doesn't exist.

Get this error now, I changed motion a / b to mage and lock, I also just read a different tutorial that says to set zones, I dont really understand what the zones do so I'm not sure what to put mine at or to copy the screen shot.

[11:38]Running 'Mage' @ localhost.
[11:38][C] Game one not found.

I find it amusing when people post their need to buy keyclone, who are you trying to impress? I hope you enjoy your testing!

I find it amusing when people post their need to buy keyclone, who are you trying to impress? I hope you enjoy your testing!Actually I posted that because I was gonna write more but cut it out, I was gonna ask if keyclone and octopus are the same when it comes to configuring maximizer settings, will I need to ask again for help if I have same troubles during keyclone or will it be the same. basicly I'm using Octopus to get the setup down so it wont be 'as hard' for keyclone and so I can get a free 'demo' to make sure I want to pay for it. I figure if I pay for his program, I'll probably get support and it's no offense to yours but probably easier to get going.

I don't see anything wrong with octopus I just think I'll get better results with keyclone.

As to my problem I have managed to get window 1 to open and go to login screen, although it opens on both monitors and not just my main one, The 2nd window will not open when I 'Run All' although it will attempt to run when I click on it in the drop drown menu in instances. It closes after a popup saying directx 9.0c needs to be installed but I have it and I get that error sometimes, possibly because I have too many processes running right now.


EDIT: I can run two wows manually but for some reason it will only load main wow, the 2nd wow gets directx 9.0c error as mentioned above, when I run it with octopus. ?(
