Hi everyone, first post and thread here. I will just relate here my dual boxing experience in EQ2Ex.

I have been a player of EQ2 for 2 years until my wife aggroed me and i had to stop.
Now i'm back after 5 years on EQ2Ex (for the population) with one main account platinum and one support account.
My setup is one screen, two PC (9600gt for the slave and GTX560ti for the master) and currently two kbd and mices.

I will be using hotkeynet for it's network support (allready did a successfull test locally)

The first step was for me to setup PIP on my screen and it's a success. This will obviously help me track the 3rd step which will be to debug hotkeynet command without having to switch from one input to another (my screen has 4 inputs)

The 2nd step starts now as i will be trying to manage a soft KVM. Synergy should do it... More to follow

OK 2nd step done, i have to use the stable version as the beta version would not work.

3rd step, the hard one : try to have hotkeynet working with network support ^^

Welcome to dual-boxing.
Good luck to you, on EQ2.

There are several here who use HKN, so a fair bit of support if you give a thread the HKN tag.

Two problem showing up : one not critical, the second boring...

First problem : when in full screen mode, if i swap from one screen to another, the application windowed. I will survive to this.
2nd problem: unable to send alted key (or shifted)... I have tried with keydown keyup, key shift + wait command at variable interval and no luck. Looked up the hkn forum and here too but many have this problem with EQ2 and only one got it resoved using wait command but not me :-/

I can survive it using text command but this is boring.
