I'm about to crash, haven't slept. Work, reading this site, and setting up new pc. I was thinking of 3 pc's, but the elctrical footprint in an old condo, wasn't seeming the best plan. I also, already had been running two pc's. I went to the local fry's today. quad core 2.6g, 1tb hd sata, 64b vista, 4g ddr2, 8800 vid card and a 24" wide screen flat panel is my hopefully flawless plan for success. I still need to buy one more acct, which I forgot to do. I could probably do it online, but I'm tired enough, I can consider that tomorrow. Since the monitor is so large, I figure 4 mini windows wouldn't be as mini as on the old 20" I was using.
I do apologize if anyone feels putout with trying ot help on the older setup, and my switching to a new one.
The below is for the brand new machine. I can manually start 3 copies of wow, and manually resize the windows. I've set up the DNP, the round robin, registered keyclone. setup the maximizer and then comd editor with the proper accts and region names. I'm just missing one or two key parts to be running properly.
After some sleep, I was reading this post How to Box 5 accounts (or 2 or 3 or 4) with ONE computer ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1767')
What I do, is I have 5 different folders, for example
[code:1]c:\wow1
c:\wow2
c:\wow3
c:\wow4
c:\wow5[/code:1]
I don't know what this .bat? is for or supposed to do, or why you would want to do it. Since I'm not running 2 monitors on one pc, the second .bat was of no help or use to me. I did what he said, and made 4 copies of the wow folder, but dragging the shortcuts to the desktop, none of them would launch wow. The first time divxdecoder.dll was not found. Copying that .dll to the desktop on second try, interface.mpq the sysstem cannot find the specified file. trying to search for it led to no results, either. Launching from the orig shortcut within each wow folder the game launches normally. Launching keyclone still does nothing, as far as loading Wow. But when I launch four copies, it lists 5 instances in the keyclone window.
I am still struggling with the startup command part, and getting keyclone to run 3/4 copies at startup. Let me expl, the orig, main comp has the ip port of the second pc as start up comd, and it launches wow on its own, just fine. Doing that on the new machine, does nothing. I'm also confused on the 'add' button. I thought with default it would run whatever instance of wow you listed in the command editor. I'm also trying to run the 4 box machine with one instance of wow, ie just the same shortcut. It's a brand new machine and brand new copy of keyclone. When I try to use the 'add' function, and have the 3 wow windows on the desktop, and keyclone on the side, it always says target: world of warcraft. But that doesn't seem to do anything. I just get a 'busy' mouse pointer til I click on keyclone in which case, it adds keyclone. Or desktop manager if I click on the desktop. When I launch keyclone, nothing further happens, though it does say I'm connected to the main machine. I know this is rather vague and perhaps out of order. But just rereading the keyclone tutorial, it doesn't even mention the startup command box.
I was rereading some older posts and someone was going to lay down a write up of the 4/1 '2 machine boxing', and haven't had time yet. I keep going through posts, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or not doing. I'm not intentionally thick=headed, or especially lazy. The rereading things has taught me a peice here and a peice there, that I might have otherwise written yet another 'pleading for help' thread. When I have a clearer head, tomorrow, I'll try and do some more specific 2 machine searches, maybe I can find my answers. As always, thanks for any help in advance. I know it's a drag constantly 'stopping the bus', but I am trying to nail it down, and will try again tomorrow.
Keyclone is working to some extent, each copy will try to type in the p/w as I try to enter the acct names in each window.
