hi all , im new to wow and in this forum (i've just joined it) and i m using KeyClone to multibox , but the problem is , i saw a guide and that persons uses keyclone too , but he also use an addon "Jamba" so i downloaded it but heres the real problem
his Slaves follow automaticly the main char / assist automaticly / hit automaticly , while mine are lazy :F i can control them only by using macros (/Follow Mainchar or /assist) , can someone tell me how i can Change them to automatic with Jamba or any other Addon ? thx in advence
ps : sorry if my english is bad
You want to turn on followstrobing, I think the command is something like /jamba followstrobing, for the following.
For auto assist, you have to set that up in whatever program you've chosen, I dont know about keyclone so I cant give you advice on that.

u sure that the auto assist can be chosen with keyclone ? i think its more Jamba cause i saw a guide but he didn't show how , in keyclone he just set up the boxes (wow 1 wow 2 wow 3 wow 4)
i think everything is here : http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=17652
cause i saw in this video , they are hitting at the same time and following , but i just don't know how to :
open up your right action bar and set the top slots to F8, F9, and F10 (continue if you have more then 3).
put macro 4 in the top slot w/ F8. macro 5 in the slot w/ F9. and macro 6 in the slot w/ F10.
do this on all characters.
then replace the main action slot 1 with macro 3.
put macro 2 on main action slot associated with '-'
and finally, put macro 1 on main action slot associated with '='
someone can explain deeper pls ?

The guide you read was a guide on an assisted and focus base setup. thats a good place to get once you get some fundamentals of multiboxing worked out. specially if your relatively new to wow, I would recommend keeping it as simple as possible for now. so try this
For the mage example.
you have 5 toons, ToonA, ToonB, ToonC, and ToonD
your macros from an assisted fireball would all go in the first button on your action bar. and make sure that any button that you want to register on your other instances of wow is specified in the "Do not pass" list in Keyclone
ToonA
/cast Fireball
And then for all your slaves, the macro would be like this
/assist ToonA
/cast Fireball
Easy as that. Thats one of the simplest ways of doing it. There are much much more complicated methods. but for someone just starting out, I think the simple assist macro would be good until you get used to playing more than 1 toon :P
Good luck

/assist ToonA
/cast Lightning Bolt
Put both of those in the same macro.

/assist ToonA
/cast Lightning Bolt
Put both of those in the same macro.
it also work , but i saw many videos where the guys just press Lightning bolt (without macro) and also the salves auto accept quests automaticly
and when i teleport , follow brokes :F
ps : how can i do for melee atacks ?
Well, slaves auto accepting quests is part of jamba, pretty sure it's on by default. So all you have to do is set up your team in jamba. If you want your guys to allways follow you, that's a feature Jamba also have with follow strobing like I mentioned earlier, again you have to setup your team and then use the command for this ingame. I dont use it personaly since I find it rather annoying.
About the assist, again, I dont know about keyclone, but the way you could do it in IS is simply using ISBoxer wizard to setup your FTL and everything is pretty easy from there on.
In HKN you would have to setup a string of :
<Hotkey 1>
<If ActiveWinIs WoW1>
<SendLabel w1>
<Key %Trigger%>
<SendLabel w2, w3, w4, w5>
<Key %whateveryourmacroforassistingtoon1is%>
<Else If ActiveWinIs WoW2>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key %Trigger%>
<SendLabel w1, w3, w4, w5>
<Key %whateveryourmacroforassistingtoon2is%>
ect.
It is no different setting up melee's then it is setting up casters.
If you want to set up a easy way to accept quests and do quest turn ins, I suggest you setup a key for assisting your current toon and using the ingame interact with target as a toggle or similar.
And finaly, dont confuse Jamba the addon with one of the programs used for actualy multiboxing, while Jamba is a GREAT addon for this it is NOT what makes it work.

Quest accepting is a function of jamba in most of the videos you see, as for how to set this up it is quite intuitive, just open the game menu (esc by default), select interface, hit the tab at the top called addons, there will be several that start with "Jamba" look through them, everything related to quests is in one, following/group stuff in another, and so on. The best way to learn is to struggle a little and think through your problem, being spoon-fed the information will not help you much in the long run. If you get to a major stumbling block then ask for help, however, it currently seems as though you haven't even looked at the options available to you when related to Jamba.
As far as melee attacks, look around for info on "interact with target," find out how "/startattack" works, these will need to be in pretty much the staple for keybinds and macros, for a melee team.
Any character movement will cause a break in follow, you'll have to tap follow after things like strafing, autoattacking, blink, or jumping in water. Follow strobing is available and currently works in game, it can make this constant hitting of the follow macro a bit more managable, however, it can be accomplished without using jamba. If you saw a video where a guy just pressed LB and all 5 shot the same target, you probably missed him hiting his assist macro right before that. There are several different methods of aquiring a target for the followers and the most popular ones are spelled out for you on the wiki and the stickes all over this site.
So my advice right now is read up on the stickies and wiki, read the documentation for Jamba, and when you get to a spot where you can't seem to get something specific working, ask a directed question and we can probably throw an answer out in a few minutes.
If you are having trouble reading any of the material, try posing questions in both your native language and english...(remember the primary language to be used on this forum is english), someone may be able to help you out through PM's without the difficulty of trying to translate to post to the forum.

You can't do this. You MUST command your alts via /assist or /cast [target=targettarget] or something similar. What you're asking for is pure automation, aka a BOT. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your Engrish and you're not asking for this but really, there is NO way to do what you're asking above without /assist or some other manual targeting.
The ONLY thing Keyclone/Octopus/etc. is give you a way to push one keypress to multiple WoWs. What you do with that keypress is entirely handled via in-game keybinds or creative macros.
Hope that clears things up.

The FTL system, with keyclone or another boxing software can do this.
But essentially, you're setting it up so when the active window clicks a button, any button...
The slave windows assist and click the same key, targeting at the master toons target.
There's a really long thread on FTL, try a forum search.
