Hi so I'm currently using hotkeynet for multiboxing 5 accounts. I got a new monitor that is 4k for my slaves to display on in 4 quadrants. My main monitor is 2k. The problem hotkeynet has is that it cant click beyond the 1440 height of the main monitor. So when I try to clone the click on a low part of the game window if the click relative to the game window on the second monitor is bellow the 1440 y coordinate on the monitor display space of the second monitor it wont click in those clients windows.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do with hotkeynet to fix this beside lower the second monitor resolution or get 2 4k monitors.

So my question is can ISboxer handle the slave monitor having a higher resolution than the main monitor for this type of set up that I have?

I don't know most of what HKN can do, but based on its basic window management, your assumptions are likely correct.

Yes, through multiple methods.

So replying to my own post, having major issues


2 monitors with different resolutions is just not working right for me:

Right Monitor (1) is 3840X2160 60Hz
Left Monitor (2) is 1920X1080 144hz



But when I setup Window Wizard in isboxer, it doesnt seem to separate monitor 1 from 2. So in #1, I set it to 3840X2160 and position is 0,0. Thats where I play only 1 window, my main character and want all the highest graphics settings. Now when I set up window 2 (for my other 4 accounts), it is all off. Let's just take one region for example: Like if I want to set the upper left region (0,0) of monitor 2 for a window that is 960X540 (so I can fit 4 of them) and I type 0,0 where you set the location manually, it then sends the 0,0 position of monitor 1! and if I manually drag it to window 2 and put it in the upper left , where it should be at 0,0 of monitor 2, it says the location is -1920, 507... wtf? So baffled.

Also, when running wizard and going through all the default region setups that best fits what i want, it NEVER sets Monitor 1 (3840) as 1 region that is entire screen and monitor 2 (1920) as 4 regions for my total of 5 toons... its always 1 region on monitor 2 and 4 regions on monitor 2... I just can't figure it out.

(posted on isboxer as well as I am sure the answer will want to be there)

Hm...think the monitor thingy has to do with your OS and even the nvidia settings. Somewhere in there it pulls up which is monitor 0 and 1. Then later on, if i recall, in isboxer, as you create a window layout, somewhere to the right was a small icon you could click to choose which monitor you wanted to use... 0, 1 etc. You will have to trial and error a few times, untill it uses the correct monitor you wanted to use, as it could be the oposite.. Im sure Lax, the author of isboxer, replied earlier in a thread about this...tried search some to find it, but no luck yet. It might have a solution for you, unless im remembering wrong.

Regarding the resolutions, you can google which resolution will have the same aspect ratio of your main monitor. This way, you input this number on your 4 slaves windows in isboxer, and mousebroadcasting will appear pretty much the same spot again, on all games.
