I've used Octopus in the past but I was still in the testing stage (IE "Oh that works nice" and "Thats not gonna work at all"). I was bouncing between using 1 Laptop to box or 1 laptop and 1 desktop. I remember I got the mouse cloning to work, but I don't remember if I was using 1 or 2 computers. The 2 computers is no longer an option so I'm asking if its possible on 1? I've read the tutorial (about 3 times) but there isn't a whole lot of detail on the single PC aspect of the program. Can anyone help me out? I've done a search on this site and the web, so far I'm beating on a HUGE wall.


Please tell me my search skill = fail and the info is out there?

click on server tap
click on the toggles
bind a key to "click broadcast" and check the box for "hold"

for ex. I bind the "r" key to it, when my alts "4xmage" cast blizzard.
I hold "r" key and click on the ground on my main and all 4 of my mage will cast blizzard around the same spot.

PS. it is a good idea to bind the same view on all you toons so the AOE will all be around the same area.
PS. Make sure the aspect ratio is the same for all your toons.

Hope this help

Since u are using 1 computer, u do not need to setup screen config, links etc.

However, U do need to setup Maximizer.

Here is my config using a 19" (1680*1050)

aammmmm

bbmmmmm

ccmmmmm

ddmmmmm

eeeeeeee



a 0,0 262,420

b 0,262 262,420

c 0,524 262,420

d 0,786 262,420

m 420,0 787,1260

e no used

acpect ratio

main 1260/787=1.60

alt 420/262=1.60

This is going off my head, numbers may be a little bit off.
