[Hotkeynet] Earth and Beyond, tried to no avail

[luckybib]

Hello everyone


I am doing something wrong and I have no clue as to what.

I am running 3, windowed, Earth and Beyond games on 1 W7 desktop.


I'm trying, for now, to get one key broadcast to all screens

For that I have a very simple script, sadly it doesn't seem to be doing anything ingame.

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Ctrl R>
<SendPC local>
<RenameWin "Earth & Beyond" EB1>
<RenameWin "Earth & Beyond" EB2>
<RenameWin "Earth & Beyond" EB3>


<Label w1 Local SendWinM EB1>
<Label w2 Local SendWinM EB2>
<Label w3 Local SendWinM EB3>

<Hotkey numlockon Tab>
<sendlabel w1, w2, w3>
<Key %Trigger%>


I have tried replacing the scripted SendWinM with SendWinMF, SendWinS, SendWinSF. Nothing happens on the 2 screens that are not selected.

Hotkeynet does however tell me
From this pc: <SendWinM EB1><Key Tab><SendWinM EB2><Key Tab><SendWinM EB3><Key Tab>
<SendWinM EB1> completed: Window found. Target set to 0xB50202 "EB1"
<Key Tab> completed
<SendWinM EB2> completed: Window found. Target set to 0xDE0178 "EB2"
<Key Tab> completed
<SendWinM EB3> completed: Window found. Target set to 0xF40D34 "EB3"
<Key Tab> completed


Could someone please help me

regards
Bib

Assuming you've jumped through whatever hoops you need to with all that Net7 stuff and the game's own crashing issues, I'd suggest adjusting your Send Mode Settings {Options > Send Mode Settings}. Increase your Background Focus Delays in increments of 10/10 and see if that does anything.

But even then, a lot of the multiboxing talk I see for that game consists of old-school alt-tabbing, not the multiboxing we see in games like WoW, so it may not work at all.

Yeah the hoop jumping has been done. Sadly increasing Background focus delay didn't work.

I've seen a forum post of 1 guy managing to do it with autohotkey, another person said in the game chat she managed to multi-box using hotkeynet.


I'll keep trying! Thank you for your help, both me and the standard bearer are grateful

It isn't pretty but this seems to have solved it. I'm sure it looks rather foolish but it works :D
