looking for a program that will benifit a keybinder...

[killerchicken]

ok im looking for a program that will send the same exact command to 2 different wow windows at the same time. I use key bindings and never click my attacks so using something that mirrors a click isnt useful for me instead, is there something that will bind keys to both windows regardless of where they are (i have two monitors) something free legal, and trusted

if this isnt possible, oh well at least i tried but i greatly appreciate your responses

You mean programs like :

[Octopus] Octopus 1.2.9 - .NET / C++ Hybrid Boxing Software ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1906')
AutoHotkey : AutoHotkey Guide ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=807')
or
[Keyclone] release thread - keyclone v1.8j ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7660')

A simple search.. or even a glance at the Software section of these forums would have given you that answer ;s

The ironing here is delicious ;)

But as pointed out above, look in the software section...all means of dual-boxing (apart from synced mouse to multiple pc's) relies on keyboard controls not mouse.

HotkeyNet ('http://hotkeynet.com') fits your description perfectly.

Edit: Here's a quick start guide ('http://hotkeynet.com/wow/wow-quick-start.html') for using HotkeyNet with WoW.

[killerchicken]

ok new problem,

<holddownkey w, a ,s ,d, q, e>
<sendlabel wow1, wow2>

this should make both windows walk in those directions right?
i looked at the help thing and its not working.
what am i doing wrong?

You need to rename your two windows and then label them before you do the HoldDownKey as shown in the Quick Start Guide (http://hotkeynet.com/wow/wow-quick-start.html)


Step 4. If you're running more than one copy of WoW on a single PC, make a hotkey to rename their windows. For example, if you have two PC's with two WoW's each, you'd write something like this:

<Hotkey Ctrl R>
<SendPC local>
<Rename "World of Warcraft" wow1>
<Rename "World of Warcraft" wow2>
<SendPC 192.168.1.102>
<Rename "World of Warcraft" wow1>
<Rename "World of Warcraft" wow2>

Step 5. Make a mailing label for each copy of WoW. Use SendWin for windows that always stay in the foreground. Use SendWinM for windows that sometimes or always stay in the background. For example:

<Label Joe Local SendWin wow1>
<Label Sam Local SendWinM wow2>
<Label Sue 192.168.1.102 SendWin wow1>
<Label Meg 192.168.1.102 SendWinM wow2>

Step 6. Define movement keys that make all your characters move when you hold them down. For example:

<HoldDownKey w, a, s, d, up, down, left, right>
<SendLabel Joe, Sam, Sue, Meg>

<hotkey ctrl F10>
<sendpc local>
<rename "World of Warcraft" wow1>
<rename "World of Warcraft" wow2>
<Label wow1 local SendWin wow1>
<Label wow2 local SendWin wow2>

<BroadcastKey 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, r, t, y, f, g, shift r, shift t, shift y, shift f, shift g, ctrl 1, tab>
<sendLabel wow1, wow2>


<HoldDownKey w, a, s, d, e, q>
<SendLabel wow1, wow2>


This is exactly what i have, the broadcasts work but the movement doesnt
does the label have to be different then window thing?

[Katharsis]

Change "<Label wow2 local SendWin wow2>" to "<Label wow2 local SendWinM wow2>" and see if that works. If not, Freddie will have to chime in.

Katharsis gave you the same advice I would have. Make the labels look like this:


<Label wow1 local SendWinM wow1>
<Label wow2 local SendWinM wow2>

P.S. To Katharsis: The reason I'm suggesting he change both labels is because if he has SendWin in one and SendWinM in the other, the result becomes slightly erratic depending on the order of labels in the HoldDownKey command and which window is in the foreground on the screen. For an experienced user this may be preferable but it might confuse newcomers.

ok first, what does the "M" stand for? and second does it matter if the M is capital or lowercase or not?


edit: zomg zomg zomg zomg , it works! thankyou but i would still like to know what the M stands for, for curiosity's sake

Hehe delighted to hear it. :) You're welcome.


ok first, what does the "M" stand for?
I chose the letter M for "message" which means something to me (the programmer) but wasn't meant to tell the user anything special. The important thing is that SendWin, SendWinM, SendWinMF, and SendWinSF are different methods that HKN uses to send keystrokes to windows. The reason for the variety is because HotkeyNet uses different strategies to force windows to accept keystrokes while they are in the background. SendWinM happens to work well with WoW movement.

To find out the differences between these methods, see here (http://www.hotkeynet.com/p/doc8.html) and here (http://www.hotkeynet.com/p/background_sending.html). (SendWinSF isn't documented yet.)


does it matter if the M is capital or lowercase or not?
No. The only place in HotkeyNet you need to worry about caps or lower case is with the names of Windows because the operating system treats window names that way. Everything else you can type either way, it makes no difference.
