Alot of trouble :S

[roguetide]

Maximizer is failing me... I took ages setting up teh screens (due to the little area of 'drag to size' button) but eventually got that working. THEN it reset everything. I connected another monitor to the computer but now I can't get it to use both monitors. I said "screw this" and physically opened up two instances of WoW then dragged one across to the other side. Right, this is just the beginning of my problems;

I had all the macros set up perfectly last night, until I decided to re-roll characters. All of the macros went to crap, and started throwing up "Invalid Target" errors, not even the 'BIG BUTTON' macro works on my alt anymore. I'm confused to say the least.

Not only that, but as soon as WoW closes, i have to go through the trouble of re-moving the boxes to match my screens, yada yada...

Somebody help :(

Lol cheers,

I find it much easier in keyclone to not even bother with the screen layout gui interface, and just enter the x,y and w,h numbers directly in the text boxes above it. The software seems to reluctant to save the values you type in there, but I've found that typing in the values then hitting Enter and then Tab will reliably make the numbers stick.

If you are using dual view: there is a little drop down below and to the right of the screen layout that says "\\.\DISPLAY1". Change it to access your second monitor.

If you are using span: both monitors are considered one big monitor (on the OS level). Unfortunately, the screen layout gui in keyclone isn't big enough to show the full area. You must enter the numbers directly to configure the viewports that are not visible in the gui.

Re: the macros: without seeing them or knowing how you set things up, it's hard to help. Do they use target=focustarget and if so did you remember to set focus? (I'd guess it's something like that).

Well after about 2 years of playing WoW I never really delved into Macros, but when you understand what teh basic comands are it's pretty straight forward, so i managed to write a simple;

/target TOON

/assist TOON

/cast ..............

Works for now.

The screen thing, i'm using a wierd configuration right now so the display setting doesn't show, but i'll play around.

Next; I'm using two warlocks. Just got their pets, but is there a macro to make the pets on both characters attack who is being targetted right away? Or do they only attack when their master is under attack?

Just getting into macro use myself, it's very handy.

To make more generic macros try using the "focus" function, just learned about it myself. On your 2nd character that is following your main go into key bindings and under the Targeting functions look for "Focus Target". Set that keybinding (someone mentioned F11 and it works well for me too). On your main unbind F11 (default is one of your bags). So once you party up with your main as group leader press F1 then your Focus Target keybinding (F11). Now your macro for follow and assist on your second character can be:

/target focus
/follow
/assist focus
/stopcasting

Now drag that macro to a hotbar position and bind it on your second character and unbind it on your main (same key), I like using numpad - (minus). It's easy to get to but pick a key you like.

If you're targeting nothing on your main, your second will target you, if you're targeting an npc or other player your second will target it and if your ready for battle and have a hostile targeted on your main your second will do it and follow and stop casting if it was casting.

You should also be able to use:

/target focustarget

instead of the /assist focus, that way if you're in close range it won't start melee'ing the hostile (handy for yellow attackable mobs).

On locks and hunters you should be able to just press SHIFT-T on your keyboard once you both acquire the same target and your pets will both start attacking. Just be sure to use your assist/targeting macro first! I've had a number of times my 5 imps chose 3 different nearby targets in Northshire when I forgot to first sync all locks to the same target as my main, lol.

To have the pets stop attacking press CTRL-0 (default keybinding to put them into passive mode). Keyclone should pass this on just fine to all copies/boxes of wow running.
