I haven't gotten either HKN or Keyclone to work with Aion. I believe that I'm running the latest Aion patch (I purchased a copy from the store rather than a direct download, and I then had to apply one patch to the game before launching).
Other programs and games seem to work with both of the respective software, but not Aion. While using Keyclone, Aion doesn't seemed to be recognized at all. For my testing, I launched two copies of the game and then set them up side by side in windowed mode. I then started up Keyclone, which recognized my Aion clients, but failed to communicate with either of them. It seemed as if the game didn't allow any outside communication, because even a simple command like the default PAUSE key (which stops Keyclone) was not recognized.
To try and validate the issue that I was running into, I loaded up a few copies of WoW and then tested the Keyclone software. This worked perfectly fine, Keyclone was able to communicate with WoW without any issues or tweaks. I then closed the Keyclone client and fired up HotKeyNet.
For HotKeyNet, I took a copy of Moorea's script (thank you Moorea) and then loaded it with the HKN program. The script was recognized and appeared to have loaded successfully (I received a message from the HKN box which stated that the script loaded without any errors).
I then loaded up two copies of Aion, side-by-side, just to see if I could send anything to either of the clients. I got to the login screen (same spot where I was at with Keyclone), and I tried to type something into the username field. Unfortunately, nothing happened here either. Only the window with focus was receiving commands. Aion seemed to ignore the secondary instance that was up and running.
My next thought was to actually log into the game with both accounts, and then try to do things with both instances of the game. I loaded and logged into Aion, set my characters next to each other and then loaded up Keyclone. Again, both Aion clients were recognized, but the communication only seemed to work on the client with the focus. Here again, the Pause key (the default Keyclone stop button) didn't work. I tried tweaking several settings, and I even downloaded the latest copy of Keyclone to try and resolve the issue, but I still didn't have any luck.
When switching back over to HotKeyNet, I was also unable to send anything to the client that didn't have the focus.
In the event that you're interested, the operating system that I'm currently running is Windows 7 x64.
This is a clean Windows 7 install too; I currently only have about 15 applications installed (mostly Adobe and Microsoft products, as well as Apache). Aion and WoW are co-existing on one of my Solid State Drives.
Does anyone have any ideas/tips/advice on getting either software program to run within the game? I'm willing to help troubleshoot this if necessary, and I'm open to trying any reasonable ideas presented here.
Also, in an unrelated topic: Has anyone figured a way around the 2-instance maximum limit of Aion per computer?
Thanks in advance.
