I have setup a (slightly biased) comparison of the solutions out there: https://github.com/WowOpenBox/WowOpenBox/wiki/Compare
feedback welcome!

0.8 has a lot of new features, including mouse focus/raise control (same xmouse-controls), hotkeys to capture windows, to set focus without swapping etc...

Thank you for you job on it!!! The multibox still alive thanks to people like you!


Let me ask, it's possible to do PIP configurations, like Screenshot below? I used HotKeyNet until TOS change, and was a great function. With 1 key the Screen 1 changes to screen 2 and vice versa:

Was playing with this last night. The initial screen config is pretty clunky, but once you get through the config it works well. You can also change your config manually in "C:\Users\<user name>\.wowopenbox.tcl

At least until JMB gets more agents built this tool seems more functional.

I added "Always on top" option for individual windows to 0.10 for you DarkFalcon!

jak, thanks for having tried a super early version, it's less clunky today (and will be even better tomorrow) - here is what I added since yesterday:

- a button and hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-M by default) to track mouse location to help with window layoutand some fixes to selection/focus for editing existing windows position/size
- Mouse control
- Hotkey for capture (defaults to Ctrl-Shift-C)
- Edit settings button
- Moved settings to non hidden file in same folder as the app

Simply AWESOME. Thank you!!! Nice function to people using Dual-Boxing like me!!!

I apologize, I broke all the older versions because of a web site url change to https://wowopenbox.org/ (dropped extra www. and the code didn't handle redirects)

So all WOB version prior to v1.0.3 will fail to start.


It's fixed in 1.0.3 but I also made sure it won't fail again even if the site is broken or unreachable in the future - sorry!

Please get 1.0.3 (or newer) asap https://github.com/WowOpenBox/WowOpenBox/releases

In better news here are the new stuff since my last post:

- Fixed #20: if you hold for instance the Capture hotkey and get an error (because there is no more wow to capture) it won't pile up
- Hotkey to toggle focus mouse follow mode: defaults to Ctrl-Shift-F (fixes #17)
- Preview of the upcoming Window Layout mode (in meantime continue to use coordinates)
- Hotkeys weren't set on very first run (because of no settings file) Fixes #16
- Hotkeys to focus the next window (defaults to Ctrl-Shift-N) and previous window (defaults to Ctrl-Shift-P) are available! (Fixes #14)
- Fixes already taken hotkeys #12 and #7

Thanks!

Hi can you tell me how this works?

Are keys set in stone or can we use other bindings?

Any youtube vid of you boxing WoW with it?

[Moorea]

hotkeys like all WOB settings are all editable in settings, and can be changed at any time dynamically.
it looks like:

hk,capture "Ctrl-Shift-C"
hk,focusFollowMouse "Ctrl-Shift-F"
hk,focusNextWindow "Ctrl-Shift-N"
hk,focusPreviousWindow "Ctrl-Shift-P"
hk,mouseTrack "Ctrl-Shift-M"
hk1,focus "Ctrl-F1"
...
hk9,focus "Ctrl-F9"
hk9,swap "Ctrl-Shift-F9"


I haven’t had time to make a video but hopefully someone will while I am busy coding

but it works as you’d expect: switch focus to next window, hit a cast key, etc
or swap windows or use mouse following focus to loot etc

Hmmn I wonder how doable boxing 3 would be with this, ema and some gse macros.. has anyone tried?

Also how safe is it to use, have you contacted a gm about it's functions?

[jak3676]

GM's will never approve any 3rd party software - they aren't allowed to do that. Even if someone did "approve" it today, the software could be changed tomorrow and then become non-compliant.

But yes, a few of us have used it without issue - seems safe. This product in particular is all open source, so if you wanted to go look at the source code yourself you could do so.

I used this along with EMA and some keyboard macros (Synergy) and it worked well - much better than my previous attempts at using separate programs for window management, focus control, etc.
