Mouse broadcasting with different resolutions

[heyaz]

I run my main at 1650x1080 (or whatever) and my 4 alts at 800x600, as my video card can't handle running all 5 at max. Is it possible to use mouse broadcasting when the windows are different sizes, or will things not line up properly? My goal is to set up healbot, so they would all have to be clicking the exact same area.

There is a place to enter your screen size/ resolution in the window layout area. I have never used it but I hear you can enter different setups that way

[heyaz]

Thanks, I'll check that out and update here

For accurate mouse broadcasting they all need to be the same resolution.

This is a real bummer for me as I run my Main on a separate computer, on a 27" monitor, while the other toons run on a second machine hooked up to a 24" monitor.

It would be awesome if there was a way to do accurate mouse scaling, as long as the resolutions are a multiple.

Yes under your Window Layout in ISBoxer there is a 'Desired Rendering Size'. Check the box and put in the resolution of your choice. You can manually enter a resolution if you want to.

I'd be surprised if ISBoxer couldn't do that accurately. Hell, Octopus has been doing it for years.

one problem I have (with HKN) is that despite the scaling being fine; wow itself changes the layout based on resolution - I guess having the exact same aspect ratio may work (my main is 1680x1050 too and my alts are 1024x576 [my second screen is 2048x1152 if I recall]

Yep. It's one of the critical settings for proper scaling, along with the in-game UIScale variable. ;)

I tried 1680x1024 (instead of 1050) to get same proportions as my slave, it's better but it's still off if for instance I try to mouse broadcast the wow UI settings changes (clicking on, say "combat" for the slave, clicks the one above for the master)

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Set UIScale in your config.wtf out of game and leave it alone. ;) It's the only reliable way to get 'em to match. Also, if you have any UI mover addons or things like Fubar/Titanpanel that automagically shift everything down or up, make sure those are configured the same on all clients or you'll fight that stuff. Once you get it all set up, you can literally right-click someone's name in chat on all 5 and report spam. :D

I don't have UI scale checked on any of the toons; I do have titan panel but on all 5; not sure what it wrong; maybe it's that the resolution I have on the slaves is low and forces wow to render slightly differently, even if it's the same aspect ratio - that or I messed up something else... I'll check my settings again
