Keyclone

[Irixy]

First off I'd like to stay I've dual boxed before, but not to this extent. I was your casual dual boxer who stuck to alt+tabbing back and forth or simply running two machines.

I've downloaded Keyclone etc. and gotta most of it to work, but I'm unable to find "keymaps" when I add World of Warcraft and right click. I dont even know for sure if that's what Im needing

Basically, I've got my follow and assist macros on the hotbar (slots = and -) For some reason my alt wont stay stuck to me and also I'm having to hit my Fireball button twice (didn't know if this was intended) for both to use Fireball

Pretty much Im wonder if there is a way I can set it so that I can control one screen with regular numbers and another with Alt or Shift

I dont know why this thread isn't stickied yet. However, this might help you with Keyclone and getting the macros and such set.

Hi Irixy and welcome to the forums

there has been some issue with wow and alts not following properly. there was a thread in general discussing it:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=1652

as for having to hit the fireball button (2?) more then once, no... that isn't right. make sure you don't have 2 in your round robin list or something. also make sure you are running the latest keyclone, v1.7r.

as for controlling one screen with regular numbers and the other with alts and shifts... well... the alternative approach would be keymaps.

basically, your main will have one keyboard layout... and your alt, assuming its a different class, would have another. as such, you're currently doing 'fireball' but in reality, you should be thinking 'ranged.attack' or 'opening.salvo'

by thinking of it that way, you can approach your key usage more efficiently and be more ready to define your keymap. while doing this, you also remove the need for alts and shifts. you can use the normal action bars.

let's say you have a mage and a priest. your mage has fireball on 2 and your priest has smite on 5. you would define your opening.salvo as a 2 for the mage and a 5 for the priest. you could even have multiple mages with different opening moves... like one would do a frostbolt while the other 3 mages might do a fireball. different keys, but under the same action... your opening.salvo

after you define and save your keymap, you will need to load the appropriate keymap on the proper clone. so the priest gets a different keymap then the mages.

personally, i set my priest command keymaps on my main using alt+function keys... which translate into normal keys for my priest. this way my mages won't care and the priest does what he is suppose to.

here's a thread on setting up and using a keymap:

i hope that helps.
