Mouse broadcasting multi pc's ?

[angeldeelite]

Hi

I run 5 pc's to box and the only boxer specific software i use is keyclone and jamba and they work great, never had any
issues at all with KC but after a few 10man raids with other boxers i'm starting to feel like im missing out on something
My team is set up to run heroics and they do the job very well but specifically the healer is my concern, i use the NUM
pad for pretty much all the healing binds/macro's with some direct, focus and party spells + castsequences and have
my mouse set up to be able to heal while using the mouse to select/move etc but if in 10 man i cant heal anyone
other than my own players and ofc anyone who gets the tail end of a chain heal.
SO to the question
How would you sugest i change this as i've been thinking mousebroadcasting on my healer? or is there some
crazy macro's for selecting random low hp targets ? (very much doubt) i've been searching the wiki and the forums
and cant find anything that helps my situation, is there a part of KC that can do that? (again doubt) is there another seperate software i can DL to do it?
or is ISboxer the only software able to ?

Hope i've made what im looking for clear and welcome all your input :D

Just thought I should add I'm not specificaly looking for mousebroadcasting as the answer more just a way of selecting a player to heal without deselecting tanking target from a raid on my main screen and healing that target and I had it in my head that mousecasting could do this?
I would just like to be able to easily heal targets in raid other than my pre set team without having to switch KVM to healers pc an use heal bot : /
is this even possible?

accurate mouse broadcasting really requires all the windows to have the same aspect/resolution (delete as appropriate, i'm not sure), Keyclone from experience wasn't ideal in this aspect.

You could try tanking using focus and selecting the actual target for your heals, so your macros would be something like
/assist tank
/heal

Then your tank would have his/her tanking buttons have /cast [target=focus] (Someone here can correct my grammar)

Having the screens the same resolution is no biggy
I do have something like that on my resto bound to num pad 6 its
/assist focus
/cast lesser healing wave
though it requires me to de-select my tank target and do 3 things with 1 hand lol
But i think using focus to tank a mob sounds tricky, wouldnt i have to set another key purely for /focus on tank an click for every mob? and then ofc set up some tank macro's as currently my tank uses none hmmm and wouldnt clicking /cast [target=focus] then force my target back to the focused mob? or is that the difference between:
/target focus
/assist focus
so that /cast [target=focus] wont actually target but still pull off the move ?
If so i think it might be worth giving it a go :D cheers

If you want to use mouse broadcasting, in a fast/easy real-time way, you have two general options as a software boxer.

You can add a HKN script to your set up, which will handle the mouse broadcasting.
I have no experience with this myself, but know HKN is free and very strong.

Or you can go with IS Boxer.
IS Boxer has a ton of options, such as mapped keys, automatic FTL assist setup, repeater regions for healing, accurate mouse broadcasting etc.
You can set it to "pass the next click", so you can press whatever hotkey and have it turn mouse broadcasting on for one click, and then have it turn that off automatically.

Keyclone does have limited mouse broadcast options.
I found moving the mouse to each region and manually clicking to be a bit faster.
But on the general pane in options, you can set a key for send next click.
And it will over the course of a few seconds click the approximate x,y location on each region.

IS Boxer is a fantastic all in one piece of software, and is what I would call the single most capable software available currently.

If you would like to keep keyclone as your primary key broadcasting software HKN can easily supplement the mouse broadcasting capability for no additional cost and no real requirement to modify your current KC setup. Simply download HKN, and check out the mouseoverwindowrect option available under the if command.
What you would do to mirror your current configuration is setup your "whack-a-mole" healing addon of choice on your primary screen character. Make sure it does nothing on click for that char. Then have HKN send a keybind to the healer.
Option 2 to expand your capability (which I know is what your question relates to), would be to setup said "whack-a-mole" addon on all chars and again use mouseoverwindowrect to broadcast the click location to the healer who will in turn click the same location the leader did and heal that char. With HKN you can send all mouse buttons and appropriate modifiers in this manner and it will mimic using the healers screen.

If you need help with a HKN script send me a message and I can send you a script similar to what I use to accomplish this exact feat.

The KC mouse broadcasting function is clunky and would probably result in death more often than awesome saves.

Basically I'm repeating what Ualaa has already mentioned, so I'll wrap it up quickly by saying chose a software solution that will work for you and contact the appropriate experts with setup questions.

PS I'm no HKN expert but I'm pretty capable with most of the functions, and any question I can't answer will probably be quickly handled by someone that uses it as well.

Good luck man hope this helps.
