how to use hotkeynet

[Avirea]

i have read the guide on this forum but i have no idea how to use it i downloaded this one http://www.hotkeynet.com/p/download.html the top one which is Download HotkeyNet 210

now when hotkeynet opens what do i do next... i have two wow accounts so i wanted to dual multi box.

sorry for not understanding i spent 4 hours trying to figure out what the hells i am supposed to do if i downloaded the wrong one please provide a link for me to download the right one thank you.

btw i wanted to window multi box not multiple pc's or whatever it is called

i want "wow1" when ever i move or cast a spell ect my other account will do the same so .. move left it moves left cast fireball on target it cast's fireball on target.

please explain very basically like click here.... move mouse to here click here turn whatever off / on

I'd suggest reading the documentation on the HotKeyNet site. Here's a few mini-walk-throughs I've posted.

If you have specific questions, post them.

um well what i mean is how DO i add things like scripts or what they are called...

i understand kinda of what is said on those links you have given me.

for example <Hotkey 2>
<If MouseIsOverWindowRect WoW1 755 481 200 200>
<SendLabel w1, w4, w5>
<Key F11>
<SendLabel w2, w3>
<Key 2>
<Else>
<SendLabel w1, w2, w3, w4, w5>
<Key 2>

i have no idea what the feck this means

i see "code" or whatever it is called but i have no idea where i put it how i wright it

ok i know it go's into notepad and you "load" it up... so i kinda understand it.



basically what i want is being able to have my other self attack when i attack so i assume i should /macro attack /assist player name.

the ability to use my arrow keys to move my character left and right only if aoe is casted

the ability always look at the target i am assisting so in PvP my slave will always look at my target

Click that for the offending post, and report it.
A mod will remove it.

Macros are written in the game, not in HotKeyNet. HKN only controls what keys are sent to what window. There's tons of information already available for how to set up multiboxing. The default script should work in the most basic way out of the box once you've changed the paths to reflect where your game is located, as I explain in the first link above.

The link you posted is NOT a script, it is a program. You need a script from the SCRIPTS section of the website to put into the program.

thanks i now understand it a bit and was able to put in the starter script thanks a tone =)

[Avirea]

i put this as my macro for fireball " /cast fireball /assist Arcainfur " but when there is a dead body nearby that is npc sometimes it switch's to the dead body or if there is another player near it will switch to targeting them... is there a way to stop this?

[Khatovar]

Go back to the very first link I posted (http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=33153&highlight=hotkeynet) and read the section in my post on spells and assisting.

[Avirea]

read and re read http://www.hotkeynet.com/wow/wow-sample-two-on-one.html but i have no idea how i am supposed to get my slave to cast as well...

i would go into wow put scroll lock on then create this macro on my main /assist player name and on the slave have the same thing and my spells do not work...


man i am really literate when it comes to this stuff

[Avirea]

a i cannot get it to work well i am able to both cast at teh same time and both accept / hand in quest's at the same time

but i cannot get it to be like http://img444.imageshack.us/i/reseu.jpg/

[Avirea]

well i made myself a fallow / assist / use spell macro..
so i got it to work kinds..

i do not know how to get the resize thing to work so i have to manually resize it

also if you know how to make a /assist playername
/cast Arcain Missiles
that works then please let me know in this forum since when i go to my profile page my computer crash's for some reason

[Khatovar]

There is no way you will understand the script I use if you can't understand the instructions I've already put up. I suggest you go spend some money on a paid program that has a wizard and start reading these forums and the wiki all over again.

here is a copy of my old HKN script (modified for 2 accounts)

as for running the toons i used to use the focus follow method. below:

macro for follow:

/target maintoonneame
/follow
/focus


cast macro for each spell:

/assist focus
/cast spellrequired


Basic example of setup:

startup HKN

load script

press CTRL+ALT+Z to load both windows

log into game as you usually would
create a mage on each account
main called fred
slave called ginger


put fireball spell on key 2 for fred

write the following macros for ginger

follow( put macro on key 1 - select any icon for macro)


/target fred
/follow
/focus


fireball ( put macro on key 2 - select question mark for macro)


/assist focus
/cast fireball


(make sure scroll lock key is on - this is your broadcast key )
group both characters. - make fred master

press 1 on keyboard - ginger should now be following fred

run around world and find a suitable monster to kill

press 2 on keyboard - both characters should fireball the target - if not press 1 again ginger should be targeting the same mob as fred then fireball again.


rinse and repeat until you reach level 85 :eek:
