Welcome to the dual-boxing.com community :)

As you might expect, people are generally suspicious of new software from new people. So I will throw out there that I personally downloaded and analyzed this Level Buddy executable, and I didn't turn up anything immediately suspicious.

Everyone loves new choices for multiboxing software, so all the best to you, and I'll leave it to others to try it out. :)

[tank1]

I'm trying it out on BFA and works somewhat for me. Thanks for putting in the effort.

When somebody tastes dual playing, I guess soon he/she will want more - 5 or even 10 boxing. And buy more powerful software like yours so we both get profit.

Pleased to hear. Are you using advanced features? Which of them?

Using all the advanced although i had to remove some of the changes u set out in your guide.

Click to move.

It's a bit buggy - sometimes the characters run amok by itself.

It's a bit buggy - sometimes the characters run amok by itself.
Most probably this is because of right click. When characters gets IWT it runs to target.

If you use right click to turn around, it may happen occasionally. The program distinguishes turning right click and just right click, but it is done via timestamp only. So fast turn might be treated as single click. (Unfortunately, when mouse button is pressed in WoW window, system mouse hook gives incorrect mouse coordinates. I didn't find out why it happens yet :( ).

Hey I'm really new to this community and I don't plan on doing alots of multiboxing the reason I turned to that is for classic because my older brother is gonna be absent during the first days of classic release so he agreed that I play, get his caracther with me so when he came back we can continue together.

I did tried a little bit of hotkeynet but i was not succesful and I wanted a really simple script and then I found your thread your work is awesome it does just enough for me and with all the advance setting it work like a charm.

The only thing is missing to me or maybe its me who did not do correctly is when minion is interacting with npc can he accept the quest at the same of main other than that its super cool must have been alot of work.

cheers

I suggest that you rename/rebrand right away before getting too far along with this.


My friend recommended me to try Classic by leveling two characters simultaneously. And I have written a small software for it!

The key points of this software are:


Very light - just one exe without installation
Easy to use - start and enjoy
Minimal character setup - just make three macros and one keybind

The idea is to engage casual players (not multiboxers) to try dual leveling in WoW Classic. This can familiarize a lot of people with multiboxing and some of them might became true multiboxers in near future.

The program and instruction can be seen at https://level-buddy.com.

What do you think about this idea?

What do you think about the program?

Any feedback is very welcome!

The program is free till september - I am still thinking about monetization. The main idea is subscription like 1$ per week so you can level the character to cap just for a few dollars. Any ideas there are also welcome.

it could still be a false positive but... would be nice for the author to chime in

Which virus and with software? I see only Cylance "unsafe" for unknown reason (probably because of UPX).

Can please clarify what is "error comes up saying theres a memory error"? May be text or screenshot?

I am not familiar with Qt framework which I use and may be I incorrectly handle program exit.

Ups sorry, I checked exe from another my project :(
There is correct exe:

Guys, can you please UNPACK your exe and check it again?

Unpack command is "upx -d level_buddy.exe".

I used virustotal.com for checking before download. It was 2 or 3 warnings from little antiviruses because of UPX packing. I can but do not want to stop packing because QT programs are fuckingly large https://www.dual-boxing.com/images/smilies/frown.png

It looks like a lot of heuristics, especially since none of the big names don't see anything suspicious, so it can stay up for now. However, if anyone else in the community would rather a different action be taken, then report the original post and share your thoughts on the matter.

[Lax]

I would recommend getting a Code Signing Certificate. This allows you to sign your executable, which should help prevent tampering, should reduce false positives (Signed binaries are treated a little bit differently by heuristic/general scans, for most antivirus/etc software), and should boost user confidence in the software.

I question the benefit of actually packing with UPX though. If we were talking about metered bandwidth for downloads, a zip file or a standard installer has the same reduction benefits. And I don't know about anyone else but it's not going to make one iota of a difference to me whether a random executable is 5mb or 10mb. I can't fit anything extra on my hard drive because the executable was packed down to 5, etc. Besides: it's your whole program, 5mb vs 10mb is negligible in 2019. :) In my book, the main reason to use a packer is to try to hide things from analysis, which subsequently is why those antivirus products treat it poorly.

So my second recommendation is to just drop UPX packing.

hi $1 x 52 = $4.3 a week $52.00 a year for your software

vs isboxer priceing

90 days = $15 vs $12 (Yours )
360 days= $50 vs $52 ( yours )

this is without the offers.


i would really think about your price structure. unless your just cashing in from classic.

and the name does sound like a 101010101 so maybe a new name like some others have said


ps welcome

[sharpMouse]

Good idea, didn't think about it before.

Did it, thank you as well.

I think mostly about Classic but this is too late :( I plan to make it free with Patreon/PayPal donations because I have only about 300 exe downloads and didn't expect this number to increase soon. I guess such number of downloads it doesn't worth to implement payment system and just put button "say thank$" instead.


and the name does sound like a 101010101 so maybe a new name like some others have said
The name was chosen intended to attract more attention.

[Jabberie]

The name was chosen intended to attract more attention.

So you purposely named it after a well know bot, for the added attention.

Hope it doesn't backfire on you.

[sharpMouse]

Version 1.0 has been released!

Major moments:

Is free.
Has donation button
No UPX packing


When WoW Classic starts and I will play a lot then new versions may come.

[sharpMouse]

What's new:

[+] Auto-follow feature. When you press 'W' it broadcasts as follow-macro key.
[+] Auto-assist-2 feature. Right click also can trigger assist-macro key.

Changes:

[%] Left+right click now "holds" UP-key until buttons are released.
[%] 'S' key removed from excluded keys. This key appears to be useful to stop minion.
[%] The font of exclusion list changed to fixed width.

[-] Fixed bug with click through feature.

Also version has been tested with WoW Classic and works well there.

[GrimWodan]

I briefly tried this one, and I liked its simplicity and easy of use.

There's two things that I'd like to see added to it, if not already present and I was just to dense to see them:
- A "send" toggle, so I can turn off sending inputs to the other client.
- A whitelist instead of blacklist of which keypresses to send.

This levelbuddy has potential, going to keep my eyes on it. :)

[sharpMouse]

Version 1.7 released!

What's new:


Pause feature. Program can pause broadcasting via customizable key.
Chinese client support (and other non-latin clients).

Changes:


Comma can be used to separate keys in stop list.
More key names for stop list.
Several UI and help texts were slightly adjusted.


https://level-buddy.com/

I have implemented "pause" feature - please check site for new executable.

[GrimWodan]

Getting better! :D

[Reprieve]

This software was very helpful in getting started with multiboxing, and I really appreciate your work.

I had some small problems with version 1.6 on Windows 10 with WoW Classic. The mouse-up and mouse-down bindings didn't always make it to a third window, and the third window would sometimes get stuck on casting with alt when I wasn't holding alt. I reduced my keybindings to just shift modifiers, and use the mouse scrolls for OOC functions so it's not a disaster if they don't go through. I'm not sure, but the mouse scroll problems may have been related to having a cursor over a chat box in one window and, if so, could be fixed by me better matching box positions.

The one big problem I had was that typing a chat message would, almost half of the time, cause the two slaves to get stuck in the chat box and not receive commands (because they're going in the chat box) until I manually alt-tab to them and escape.

[one-man_band]

How difficult it would be to change the keys sent by the mouse click features? I'm not eager to change my wow keybinds from what I've used for years.

[one-man_band]

Anyone know how to exclude/blacklist mousewheel up/down?

edit: should probably ask elsewhere but I can't find the delete method the Edit Post button alludes to.

[alookalike]

Is thier a way to cast targeted spells like flame strike and blizzard with this?

[Gabe]

Just looking to try multiboxing and I found this program incredibly helpful and easy to use. However wish I can change the hotkey what it sends to as I do not use the default WASD to move.

[sharpMouse]

You can add ENTER key to black list. The minions will not open chat at all. Another solution is to pause broadcasting via hotkey.


Anyone know how to exclude/blacklist mousewheel up/down?
You cannot exclude it yet, but this is second feature in the list :)


How difficult it would be to change the keys sent by the mouse click features?
Relatively difficult - I do not want to bother people with keybinding. However sometimes I think how can I add keybindings and do not make interface more difficult.

[sharpMouse]

Hi again, version 1.8 has been released!

What's new:

[-] Fixed bug with program delay at exit.

I know it sounds not so much :), but... I am going to implement the most wanted features soon, so keep an eye on official Levelbuddy site or this topic.

[sharpMouse]

Hi, buddies!

Version 2.0 has been released!

It has most wanted features and improved stability:

[+] You can exclude mouse events from broadcasting.

[+] You can use white list instead of black when broadcasting.

[-] Fixed scaling with 4k monitors.

[-] Minor bug fixes and improved minion stability.


There is also a roadmap with more useful features like auto update, new settings, in-game object interaction, better minion behavior and so on.


Just visit https://level-buddy.com/ to get more info and download.

[dimzen]

Windows 10 saids that level-buddy 2.0 has Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl in it :/

[sharpMouse]

This is quite shitty (((

I checked it at virustotal 5 days ago and it wasn't detected.

I rebuild exe but result is the same. Dunno what can I do yet..

[sharpMouse]

What's new:


[+] You can setup forward key (no more restricted to default 'W').
[+] You can buy program for three month which saves time and money.


https://level-buddy.com

Request more features if required.

I am wanting to to dual box a resto shaman, and hunter. Does this software have more than one key function? I would need at least a 12 key minimum.
Also, Do we the user have to set up macros on our game or is it built into your software?

[sharpMouse]

I am wanting to to dual box a resto shaman, and hunter.
I am leveling resto shaman and mage and everything is fine.


Does this software have more than one key function? I would need at least a 12 key minimum.
What do you mean "key function"? You can broadcast any number of keys. By default, most of the keys are broadcasted.


Also, Do we the user have to set up macros on our game or is it built into your software?
The user has. However, Levelbuddy needs only 2 macros so macros setup takes about 2-3 minutes.

[sharpMouse]

Hi, buddies!

Version 2.2 "Massive Troubleshooting" has been released.

What's new:


Fixed bug with unstoppable minion running.

Added Triple-Assist feature to prevent minion from using old targets.|
Fixed UI when Windows has scaling larger that 125%.
Blacklist: now you can disable Alt, Control and Shift keys.|
Blacklist: added keyword "whatever" which always matches the key, regardless of modifiers state.
