VideoFX Fullscreen Dual Box WoW with PiP help please

[Grendahl]

I've searched the forums and google, but haven't found any guides specific to doing the this, so I'm posting here for help.

I'd like to run two copies of wow, both fullscreen, both on the same monitor, one over the top of the other, with the background window showing up as a videofx region like a picture in picture. Ideally, this PiP would be scaled down to 25% of the size of the actual window, and would be in the top left corner (or bottom right would work too). I'd like to click this PiP window to swap to that toon, in addition to using the standard character swap hotkeys.

Resolution of monitor and both fullscreen games: 1920x1080
Size of picture in picture: 480x270
Location of PiP in top left 0,0
Location of PiP in bottom right: 1440, 810

Any takers?

I'm going to guess that this link came up during your searches: http://isboxer.com/wiki/Video_FX

It looks as if you already have the values you need, so you should be able to just plug them into a VFX Action (http://isboxer.com/wiki/Video_FX_Action) and get things working. https://www.dual-boxing.com/images/icons/icon14.png

I'll chip in my 2 copper and suggest you set up enable/disable VFX repeaters/sources mapped keks with VFX Action steps that are tied to for example your "ActiveKeyMapsToggle," so they'll just automagically set themselves up when you press the key. As opposed to doing it via the in-game GUI. Makes it easier to tweak things later and modify it for different situations.

If the ISBoxer wiki link doesn't get you up and running or my comment doesn't make sense eventually, post back here and I'll give you some more examples.

I'd seen that first page, but I guess I was hoping for a paint by numbers solution... as I just started with this two days ago. :)

I'll poke at it again tonight and see if I can get it figured out. (the VFX Action page should help)

I'll rewatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1zDxBx0AZs too.. :)

OK, so I set the regions for source and viewer as per the video, but the hotkeys I set for them don't seem to do anything. What am I missing?

Thanks to altbob on discord, this has been figured out.
For reference, the viewers wouldn't show because they were not named identically to the sources. :/
