Everquest

Hey guys, I started playing EQ again since Ive become bored with WoW. Too many dailys! Anyways, Im 3 boxing in Everquest, ranger, bard, and sk. I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, I was wondering if theres a way to broadcast my keystrokes to all instances? I dont really wanna use any software if I can help it. I dont mind alt+tabbing between my sk for tanking and bard for pulling. I just want to have my = key to broadcast to all my boxes. I'll keep the = key empty on my sk and bard but for my ranger I'd put a macro there to /assist and /autofire. Any advice or help?

Even if you could do it with only your Logitech keyboard, it would still be use of software; but no, without the assistance of software (or hardware) you cannot broadcast your keystrokes. ALT+Tab would be the only way to change window focus so that you could send keystrokes to other windows.

Which program would you recommend? Ive tried keyclone but that doesnt seem to work with EQ? or maybe im doin somethin wrong. Messed around with hotkeynet but i cant really figure out how to write scripts.

or if anyone out there can write a script fast for HKN I just wanna broad cast my Numpad 1-9 to fire on all eq windows

Everquest requires a window to be in the foreground to receive actions, which Keyclone can't do. Judging by the last time I played EQ2, which has the same issue, it will require a lot of tweaking to get HotKeyNet to work so there's not going to be a plug and play script.

You can try checking the scripts posted in the HKN forums (http://hotkeynet.com/phpBB3/index.php), but it doesn't look like anyone had much success. While mine worked, I wouldn't call it flawless and it does require the use of delays between windows to get the commands to process - which technically should be a toggle (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/19768-MB-Current-MMOs?p=185706&viewfull=1#post185706) between windows, but they change their stance on that like crazy, so who knows anymore.

At any rate, the easy way is just using ISBoxer (http://isboxer.com/).

Thank you Khatovar, I was looking at ISBoxer as my last choice. Didnt wanna pay another subscription on top of all my other games, but it looks like i have no choice, so ISBoxer it is!
