[Kicksome]

Awesome! Can't wait to check it out.

[keyclone]

personally... i find this one to be very cool:

o add: region-based keymaps

go to keyclone/setup/maximizer and for each region, associate a keymap (there is a button bottom center). when you pip-swap, that keymap will be detached from the window that was moved and attached to the incoming window.

this is VERY useful for doing things like formations. no more playing with keybindings. just define a set of keymaps and that's it.

here is a sample set (right-click/save-as to your keyclone folder):
region1.kcl ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/keymaps/region1.kcl')
region2.kcl ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/keymaps/region2.kcl')
region3.kcl ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/keymaps/region3.kcl')
region4.kcl ('http://solidice.com/keyclone/keymaps/region4.kcl')

by default, i use F1 for spreading out, F2 for pulling back in, and F3 to walk the 2 outside guys back a few steps (this was a proof of concept set). if you want to change the key being used, just go to keyclone/setup/keymap editor/load ... load region1.kcl.. then change the associated key.

by doing this, the wow in the upper right of your maximizer layout will always strafe left, next down will strafe right, and the bottom will walk back. no matter how much you pip swap around, the formation will be correct... with your new leaders always taking the point. (i hope that made sense)

[keyclone]

oh yea... the bug where the cursor would get stuck outside of your wow window has also been fixed

[Turenn]

Great job mate!

[Zal]

was the bug where if you clicked on other windows (like IE or something) maximizer would shut down the wow program fixed? only happened on loading screens

[keyclone]

i pumped out v1.9f after being alerted to 2 crash bugs. please update your copy if you pulled v1.9e

@Zal
i'm unsure... i had not seen that bug. i am usually able to load into game while clicking my browser or clicking the load screen.
(was there a post somewhere on this?)

[Tordenskjold]

Stay on top doesnt work anymore on my PiP setup, anything I need to do?

[Slauterhause]

Very nice, thanks Rob.

Edit:
I'm seeing a lot of improvements in this version. Some things I'm noticing after 10 minutes...
PiP swap is a LOT smoother
Focus follow Mouse is a lot smoother
The region specific keymaps are neat and have a lot of potential
Shutdown bug is indeed history
Love the multi-processor support now (easier than playing with affinity charts)

This all after 10 minutes..can't wait to really dig in.

[Pwnzor]

rob is the man ;) thx

[Mercurio]

Woot! Thanks a TON Rob!

You are making many people happy!

[Fat Tire]

[Caspian]

@Caspian
nice... i hadn't split them up and just kept doing a push down list as i went. (at least there are more adds then bugs)

@fat tire
are you on vista? does keyclone have permission to write into the folder its installed in? to insure it... copy your keyclone.ini file somewhere and delete the keyclone folder. download install to desktop. right-click/run-as-admin and installl normally. this will insure proper permissions on the folder. then find the keyclone folder, copy your keyclone.ini into the folder... then find keyclone.exe... right-click/send-to/desktop. this will drop a shortcut to the desktop. find the shortcut, right-click/properties/advanced and CHECK the always-run-as-admin.

then go to setup, change something... hit ok.. exit keyclone and restart to verify if the setting stayed.

Wasn't post anywhere else, just something i noticed started happening to me after 3.1 went live.

[Oatboat]

small problem today loggin in. I did a key transfer yesterday before i downloaded the new version today and its saying License expired. Can you check into it for me Rob. Sending pm also. Whichever you read first... disregard 2nd :)

[keyclone]

@Oatboat
:!: NOTE: this version requires a license transfer, which you can do via the 'transfer' button just below the 'expired' message
good morning, sunshine. :D

[Oatboat]

why didnt you just do the Facepalm ascii on me... i deserved it for not reading your big wall of text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ken]

Some issues I encountered:
- PiP switching doesnt work anymore: when I press a button to switch screens, nothing happens
- Key overrides (dnp/override/rr) don't work well: keeping the key pressed toggles the feature on/off repeatedly. Keys tried: break, ctrl+break, "[", "]"

[Ken]

When going back to 1.8k, the key overrides still didn't work. After reverting my ini file(to the pre-1.9f install version) it worked again.

[RdrckSmith]

One issue I've noticed with the latest version, though maybe it's just that I haven't configured everything properly: It seems that PiP switching is now less smooth than it was before (contrary to the patch notes and others' experiences). When I press one of my PiP keys (e.g. F9 to switch to the first of four slave windows) the smaller window goes blank and shows my desktop background, then a moment later it switches into the main window and the "old" main appears in the smaller space. Have I missed a configuration step or set something wrong? Or perhaps it's my graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4850?

I've also noticed that that using "focus follows mouse" causes my hidden taskbar to pop up and flash the taskbar button for the newly focused WoW window when I move the mouse between windows. It also sometimes "lock" the taskbar up with one of the buttons flashing if I move too quickly among multiple windows. This is really more of an annoyance than anything else, but is there maybe a Windows setting that would stop this?

On a more pleasant note, "focus follows mouse" is smoother than I ever though it could be moving between windows. Not even the slightest hitch for me when I mousover another window to to click a non-targetable quest objective! Rob is indeed the man! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:I did not get the chance to upgrade my Keyclone last night but have the same issue with windows doing that since the 3.1 WoW patch, with my ATI 4850. I don't use PiP swap with my current set up but I see the issue when Keyclone (1.8k) launches and resizes the windows. There are a couple times I see the same thing but do something manually. I can't remember exactly what it is off the top of my head though. Basically it add the Windows border back if Keyclone had removed it, makes the screen white (usually, sometimes black though) whether Keyclone is running or not.

If it does this during PiP swap it would be most annoying.

Has anyone else seen this since 3.1? I don't think it is Keyclone related. If it is isolated to the 4850 cards I will post on the WoW forums, or search them. My drivers are up to date as of a couple weeks ago. I will have to double check them tonight.

[Coltimar]

PiP didn't work for me at first. I messed with it and got it to work. However, when I push F3 to target party3 the vista search box comes up :/

[keyclone]

@Coltimar
sounds like you have auto-add enabled and it's picking up another window with the same title.

i'd recommend turning it off and using commands to launch your wows.

[Coltimar]

Correct! I had exact match checked but I unchecked the auto add thing. Thanks.

edit: Spoke too soon, that didn't fix it :/ It's just when I hit the function keys and it's opening the box. It isn't a window that's already open.

[keyclone]

the issue is that F3 is being processed by one of the items in your keyclone list.

first, uncheck the auto-add. next, look at the items in the keyclone list. you will probably note 1 more then expected. my guess is that its a wow icon on your desktop being picked up during the sweep (you could mod the name of the icon to test it... but you'd have to have the auto-add still on).

once you determine which item in the keyclone list is not one of your wows... select it and click 'remove'

after that, it should not appear in the list and the problem should be resolved.

[Stormweasel]

I'm out of subscription at the moment so can't log in to test but does this resolve the problem I detailed in this thread:

[Keyclone] Cursor oddity with AOE ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=194444&highlight=#post194444')

If I've read the update list properly, I think it might but am not sure.

[keyclone]

i'm working on the mouse-click-passing right now. (i never tested it on my winxp box... i'm getting spoiled on my 8gb vista64 box)

so for now, i would prolly say no.

[Coltimar]

Kind of weird . . . lol. I did see an errant World of Warcraft in the list so Right-clicked and picked Close App. Then my desktop icons all disappeared, both monitors! I had to love out via Ctrl Alt Del to get it back. Vista Ultimate 64, btw.

edit: changing the icon's name fixed the problem, by the way. Well, I deleted it.

[keyclone]

well.... i wouldn't have done a 'close app'... you just closed explorer.exe. just 'remove' would have worked

[ghonosyph and the moocrew]

rob, any fix for this focus follows mouse bug?> its still following even after turning on and off the selection checkbox >.< its driving me nuts!

I'm also still having issues with wow crashing during loading, with no wow error, the maximized borders go to windowed mode, i get the(this program is not responding) error on the tab and then it closes out (if any key is pressed) this is very annoying lol

[Gurblash]

I'm also still having issues with wow crashing during loading, with no wow error, the maximized borders go to windowed mode, i get the(this program is not responding) error on the tab and then it closes out (if any key is pressed) this is very annoying lol I get this while running HKN, KC and w/o running anything. This is not a software issue, this is a WoW issue with 3.1.
