Question: Movement Keyclone and looting

[muplayer2007]

Just got keyclone setp up on 2 accounts and 2 comps.

I have encountered an 3 annoying problem character sync movement and looting and quest accepting with npcs.

No matter how good i position both my characters so they can sync in movement, they always seem to drift away from each other even each up down left right key stroke i press is identical its like one character has a feet speed increase buff and goes faster than the other (they both lvl 2 btw), logically we both running at 50% next to each other so i dont understand how come 1 character drift away behind the first 1 when they both started at the same exact position.

2nd: Is there a way or perhaps a tool that will enable my other character to accept quests ? SO far ive had to switch comps to accept quests and receive quest rewards. Switching between pc's gets tedius. I want them both to simultaneously accept quest.

3rd: Looting- MM anyway to set a way so my second character can loot too?

I appreciate any advice given concerning this post thanx.

Hi muplayer and welcome to dual-boxing

it is near impossible to get 2 character to be facing in the exact same direction. it would have to be exact down to the 1/10 of a degree.. good luck.

best you can do, until blizzard adds a /facenorth command, is use /follow to have your clones follow your main

as or autp accepting quests, there has been some posts here on that. check this post for more:

as for looting... well... i usually loot with one until its full, then move to the next. if you find a better way, please post it :)

Thanx for quick feedback Keyclone, what im saying is if both character are moving at same speed? why do they both drift apart even when running straight?

If i use follow i have to disable the other clone by pressing f1(pause) cause on follow mode any movement action cancel it, and when ready re-activate clone and reposition him is necessary :?

Seem there is some sort of slight delay between the secondary comp which is receiving the primary key stroke from the first comp when it comes to movement so any fast movement change like left right up left etc cause delays on the secondary clone.

Always have to reposition my 2nd clone, is this the case with other keyclone users? Positioning, repositioning, stop, Reposition etc ?

Guess ill have to skip questing, looting quest items for both character that are bind when picked up would be a nightmare switching back and forth.

Collect quests are for the most part a waste of time unless there is a specific reward your looking for at the end.

As for movement, utilize the /follow command and just lead with 1.

setup your main with two macros

#ASSIST#
#FOLLOW#
btw these macros serve no purpose other than letting u know what they are doing to the other account

place them on " - " " = " in your action bar (far right)

your alt(follower)
make macros

/assist <name>
/follow <name>

place them on the same corresponding spot

this is the basic assist/follow macros you will need
from this point you can get them to do whatever u want with slight modifications to the macro or macros.

Please don't bump ancient threads. Looting is addressed in the Newbie's Stickies, specifically in the first thread (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/36955-Newb-s-Guide-to-Multiboxing-Start-here-if-you-are-brand-new-to-Multiboxing) under Interact with Target (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/36955-Newb-s-Guide-to-Multiboxing-Start-here-if-you-are-brand-new-to-Multiboxing?p=322299&viewfull=1#post322299).

It uses the exact same method that you would use with Jamba in order to make your slaves interact with NPCs, which I walk through in the Jamba Guide (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/28573-Jamba-Getting-Started), specifically in the middle of this post (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/28573-Jamba-Getting-Started?p=265230&viewfull=1#post265230) under Quest > Interacting.
