Can you multibox for swtich users on same computer???

[bibice]

I have a BIG QUESTION:

Can hotkeynet (or any other key/mouseclick forwarding client) have effect for game-windows amongst different users on the same computer?

Or this is of course impossible since while you are on one user on a computer the others are locked from any information?

Many games do not allow to open more windows. You can however easily log in as different users on the same computers and switch users if necessary. But your keystrokes/clicks could be relayed for each users?

Anybody knows this is impossible or possible???

Not possible since the inactive session is not able to be sent any input.

I've never tried this and I don't know if it's possible. If it's possible, each session would have to use a different IP address.

Edit: I think people have told me they've gotten this to work with virtual machines instead of user sessions, but my memory might be wrong.

I should also mention that HotkeyNet has a command that allows people to circumvent this limitation with some programs. The command works by deleting a mutex.

Before you try this, I recommend that you check whether this is permitted by your game's rules.

Also, programmers often have good technical reasons for preventing people from running more than one instance. Hotkeynet itself uses a mutex to prevent people from running multiple instances of it. I did this because the program won't work if people run more than one copy. That could be the case with your game too.

It sounds like he wants to use 2 or more accounts. The fine print says each person can only play on their accounts. If I am wrong (like always) just give us more information.

This is actually possible with linux, when you set your machine up as a terminal. WoW runs really fine with wine and there is a decent key/mouse broadcaster available that works natively under linux.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought he was asking something else. I thought he has some game (not WoW) that prevents itself from getting launched more than once on the same PC. I thought he's asking about Windows user accounts, not game accounts.
