Old rat wanna try new stuff:)

[Munile]

i have been player wow for 3years now and now i want to try out dualboxing but im not really sure about 3things.

dose i have to pay for more than the 2accounds i need
what programs do i need for dualboxing
and and what programs / addons do i need for it..

please tell me thanks

[Kalros]

Do I need to pay for more than the 2 accounts The only other thing that you would have to invest money in besides your accounts is a license for Keyclone.


What programs do I need for dualboxing As a minimum, you want Keyclone and the add-on Jamba. There are alot of other helpful ones you can find in the wiki.


Any info you can give me would be very helpful, thank you. You're quite welcome!

[Munile]

Thanks mate

[illuminat]

if you are starting from lvl 1 and dont mind forking out the money for more wow+tbc+wotlk for each extra char you add to your boxing..
then i suggest you look into Refer-A-Friend and how it works.

what you pay for for 1 account is 1x wow, 1x tbc (if you wanna go past 60), 1x wotlk (if you wanna go past 70)'

for 2 accounts thats 2wow, 2tbc, 2wotlk
and 3 accounts 3 3 3... you get the picture. i just wanted to make that clear (so many missunderstand that part).
There is several programs that do the same thing.
keyclone, pwnboxer, isboxer or whatever the name is.
there is a long line of names in the wiki :).

also just a heads up.
make sure the names of the accounts are the same thing.
not all get banned who doesnt but we all know that a bannstick to your face isnt something we want to risk.
if the accounts arnt give me a poke in private message and il see if i can help you ;).

good luck and welcome to the fun! :D

You do not have to buy Keyclone. There are free solutions out there. Many on this website enjoy Keyclone, and many enjoy HotKeyNet which is free.

Personally I love HotKeyNet and feel it's the most powerful multiboxing software available.

[Munile]

im kinda new to setup dualboxing so i want the program that are easyest to setup..

[illuminat]

well.
i say. see if the free software is easy to setup with the aid of a guide (is probably one on the website).
if it isnt or you fancy some functions in the paid softwares then go check those out.
it cant hurt to try :P.

im getting closer to buying keyclone instead of using my license for pwnboxer because of several bugs that i think might be due to pwnboxer..

[Munile]

im trying to find out how to setup hotkeynet but im very comfused about the strips and all that stuff :S


I accept all kind of help prefer if someone can come ventrilo and talk /explain me how to setup the strip in hotkeynet .. im so lost in it :S :(

Hi :)

@Munile : see your PM, and answer some questions, than i (or someone else) could create a working script for you.

For someone else, i post the PM here, so that they know, which information is good to provide, so that experienced HKN users could give you good scripts:

To do so, It would be great if you could answer me the following questions:

General setup:

1. How many WoWs do you want to run ?
2. How many pcs do you want to use for multiboxing, and if more than one, what is theit IP-adress and how many WoWs per pc do you want to use.
3. From which directory(ies) do you want to start WoW

Window-Layout:

4. How many screens do you want to use (and how is their resolution) ?
5. What a resolution do you want to use for the 'main'-toon (big window) ?
6. What resolution do you want to use for the 'slaves' (littel window)
7. what positioning of the widows do you like? As a general hint, where to find some informations about HKN, you could have a look here:
[HotKeyNet] Guide: HowTo use HotKeyNet for boxing ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=16747')

To make this work you might have to cutsomize two things:

1. I used the path 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe' for starting WoW, if you installed WoW in a different directory, pleas change the path so that it points to the right on

2. In the <Command SetPip> the size and position of each window is defined, I used 1280x1024 for your 'main' (on position 0,0) and 300x240 on position 900 700 for the 'slave'. This (especialy the position/size of the 'slave') might not be ideal for you, and if not you would need to customize them. To do so you need to change the lines <SetWinRect 900 700 300 240> and <SetWinRegion 900 700 300 240>. For wich you might want to look on the <SetWinRect> ('http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/setwinrect.html') and <SetWinRegion> ('http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/setwinregion.html') reference pages.
(For a more detailed discription what to do, you might have a look here: http://www.hotkeynet.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1351#p9180 where i answered nearly the same question)

For the general HKN startup, do the following:

1. Install HKN
2. run HKN in Adminmode (when asked if you want to use more than one pc, you safely can answer 'no')
3. load the script i posted into HKN
4. when the script is loaded, and no errors (red messages) are shown you can:
- with pressing 'ctrl + alt + l' simutaniosly start both WoWs
- with pressing F1 switch the window sizes
- with holding down the squiggle key and pressing a mouse button, broadcast mouseclicks
- with pressing 'pause' toggle HKN off/on
-by pressing a key defined in the Keylist broadcast it.

(5. Make sure you are running WoW in 'window-mode' and with an intenal resolution of 1280x1024)

I hope I could help you, if you need further instructions, simply ask!

Wow, that's very nice of you olipcs!
