A few questions - Newbie ones..

[jsmith00075]

Hello everyone,

I just bought Keyclone (and another mutliboxer I won't say :)) but it seems like all the forum links that are shown in the wiki and on the application are down so it is a little hard for me (a total n00b) to understand how exactly it works. I also looked around but didn't really find any answers to my problems/questions..

Well to tell you the truth, I am not a WoW pro (not even close), I never used macros before and I could really use some help.. Let me provide a little more information that maybe more newbies like will appreciate to get answered.


What I've got (Hardware, Software & other information)
So I installed Keyclone on this machine:
Windows Vista Ultimate - SP1
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3400+ 2.41GHz
3GB RAM

I got 1 monitor with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 but I can add one more to dual-screen it if needed.
I got 2 accounts RAF connected (2 wow accounts in 1 battle.net account if that matters) and I would like to only use them for a start.
I also made 2 copies of the wow game to use.


What I have managed to do until now
- Command Editor: Added the 2 wow accounts (added the program and region)
- General: Startup Command (added the accounts here)
- Maximizer: Used the default layout for 2 accounts but my eyes are dying from the resolution :/ (Also added the PiP hotkeys)


What I get in play
- Most of the time the 2nd char will do the same moves like the first one (sometimes it won't :/ and I don't really know why..)
- I can't maximize it to full screen but showing it on a window mode (I know it required me to choose that option but all the youtube videos are showing full size :P)
- No ideas what I am doing now..


My main questions/doubts/problems
- Now what? lol.. I mean like, is there a specific list of add ons I should have in order to start playing? Because I don't know how exactly I can make this work. Like do the same spells, etc etc.
- What kind of macros should I make? Any basic ones?
- Do I have to choose 2 same classes in order to multibox? (I mainly see shamans and mages..)
- Is there a way to fix the resolution some how? It is just stretching right now..
- Is there any way to full screen WoW?
- Am I doing too many stupid questions and I am so useless I can't understand how this works? -.-"


Anyway that's all from me for now..

Thank you for your time!

With Keyclone, if you go to Set Up and then Maximizer, you can change the resolution of wow within each window.

WoW assumes the window is the full monitor, and you can set whatever resolution you'd like within that window. Do the same for the other. If the aspect ratio's are the same for the two windows, swap speed between the two is much faster. If the sizes are identical, still faster. However, the swap speed will have a definite time between each window. Inner Space has much faster swaps if that is important to you.
Choose an aspect ratio (within maximizer) that you like.
You want to run wow in windowed mode. But you can use UI Scale settings to get a lot more screen real estate.

Keyclone broadcasts everything you type to every client.
You have a Pause Key, which will temporarily turn this off, you can configure the key, but PAUSE/BREAK is the default setting.
You can also configure a Black List or White List.
The white list means only keys on the list will be broadcast (I didn't like this setting).
With a black list, I choose to not pass F1, Tab or Num Lock.

You'll definitely want the addon Jamba.
Everything else is optional, but that is almost required for boxing.
It does so many beneficial things.

The easiest macro system for assist (with Keyclone) is Focus Based.
Have a key (on the same keybind for each toon, it could even be the same keybind as your Keyclone PiP hotkeys).
So when you press Shift F1 (or whatever your hotkey is for PiP switch to Account 1), Shift F1 runs a wow macro (on both accounts) to focus the toon on account 1.
When you go Shift F2 (to PiP swap to account 2's toon), both accounts run the wow macro (keybound to Shift F2) to focus the toon on account 2.
The macro will be something like: /Focus [target=ToonA] or /Focus [target=ToonB].

Then all of your other macro's will be:
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
/cast [target=focustarget, help] Lesser Healing Wave; [target=focustargettarget, help] Lesser Healing Wave

You can run pretty much any two toons you'd like.
Or run three toons or five toons.
Two, three and five is the most common, but people box ten toons or even thirty toons.
