Dual-boxing 101 (2 accounts)

[Bigcrazy18]

Hi, I am new to dual-boxing so here is what I am struggling with at this moment and what I am able to do. First thing first is what I am able to do.

I am trying this out with two mages. I was able to log on both my accounts and set up macros (follow, assist, set up fireball to cast on both accounts). All seems to be working so far. They even jump together!

Problem #1: I cannot get the maximizer to work correctly. I tried to configure the screens within KeyClone but not actually happens (do I need to manually adjust the screens?)
Problem #2: While having screen #1 open and moving him around, screen #2 is also moving around and they end up going in opposite directions or getting seperated. Help here?

Once I get a few levels and attack with them together for a while, I'm sure I may have more complex questions. But for now, any help for this beginner would be great! Thanks

Problem #1: I cannot get the maximizer to work correctly. I tried to configure the screens within KeyClone but not actually happens (do I need to manually adjust the screens?)

Do you actually have the little box "enable maximizer" checked? Also, you need to have your WoW's in windowed mode. And you need to make sure that you set up "region" names and use those names in the Region field of the Command Editor. So, you would have 2 commands (wow1 and wow2) each one brings up a WoW window in a different "region" that you specified in the Maximizer setup.



Problem #2: While having screen #1 open and moving him around, screen #2 is also moving around and they end up going in opposite directions or getting seperated. Help here?

You need to put the movement keys (usually ASDWQE) on the Do Not Pass list. Then, you need to have your "clone" on a /follow macro to the main. You need him always following, they cant do the same movement keys.

#2 fixed. Thanks!

#1 still working on. I have the box checked and they are both in windowed mode. I just changed the region sizes (custom sizes...does that matter and do I need to put it on any specific resolution? I have a 20" monitor 1650 x 1050 max). In command and maximizer..they share the same region name

You'll want to have two regions. Name them differently, Main and Alt. Apply the names Main and Alt to your command lines.

Also you must run the commands from KC console to open wow. You can't have WoW already open and expect Maximizer to work.

Have Keyclone open and run your WoWs and it should work as long as your region names match whats in the command.

[Gallo]

Gurblash hit both marks... you def need 2 different region names, and for maximizer to work you need to type your "commands" that you created in the Keyclone command line to open WoW.

I set everything up on command editor and maximizer. Does it matter if I have my wow accounts in 1 directory..pointing to the same .exe file. But when I go to connect through KeyClone.....there are no drop-down options for me to choose.

the commands dont show up automatically. type in the name of the commands that you created in teh command editor seperated by a semicolon then hit connect.

[Gurblash]

and running off the same .exe is no issue. I run 5 off mine :P

[Bigcrazy18]

Sweet Problem #1 fixed now. I wasnt typing in the names seperated by the semi-colon. Works now...Thanks!

Now my problem is both windows are in 800 x 600 mode. Anyway I can adjust those and the UI scale?

How do you post pictures with the image thing?

[thinus]

Your pictures must be hosted somewhere, for instance Photobucket, and then you just wrap the URL to your picture in IMAGE tags and it should display the picture. You cannot upload pictures directly to the forums.
