Looked these up while I was setting up Octopus, found them very useful for saving me a lot of effort and CPU.
Not sure about Keyclone, as I've yet to try it out, but Octopus has a nice option to manually set your own config.wtf settings for each instance. I was going to make a post asking if anybody knew any good ones I was forgetting, then saw nobody had really made a helpful compilation at all... So I'll try.

Here's the list.
http://www.wowwiki.com/Config.wtf_defaults

Octopus automatically does
accountName and gxResolution

Some of the more useful.
gxMultisample - Multisampling, 1-4 (I use 4 for my main screen and 1 for the 4 smaller) farclip - View distance before "fog" (Have my Main at: 1000 Others: 100) maxfps - Discussed often here, maximum FPS of your currently selected game screen maxfpsbk - Max FPS of unselected screens uiScale - Ingame UI scaling. "useUiScale" must be "1" for this to work. (Found it useful to bump this above 1 on my 4 smaller screens, and to my usual .75 on my Main.) realmName - Default Realm to load to. lastCharacterIndex - Which character is selected on the loading screen (press enter twice instead of manually selecting each character when they're in different orders FTW) processAffinityMask ('http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778017311') <-- *edits to add this one* -- Set what cores each Client uses.
For Graphic settings beyond the basics here, just go read wowwiki, there's a LOT of them. If you want to experiment with them in game, they can all be changed at any time using /console command, Including in macros.

I've forgot all about this stuff. Informative post +1. Going to tweak the GF's laptop tonight and see if I can get better performance out of it.

A couple I looked up last night:

/console togglehelm
/console togglecloak

Handy for toggling cloak or helm for all toons at once, without loads of menu navigation by mouse.

Ooh! -- I hadn't even thought of the usefulness of broadcasting that one to all clients XD -- I'm just using HatTrick to add little check boxes to the character frame. Command line is superior for multiboxing by far. lol

Every option under Video, Sound and Interface options menus has a corresponding console cvar or command. I started putting a table together matching up those entries, and have done most of the video ones so far. Once I've done them all I'll post it here. It should be useful for multiboxers in configuring multiple clients at once.

processAffinityMask <-- almost forgot that one! -- Set what cores each Client uses.

And yeah, it'd be nice for a table for all the video settings... I've been setting them all via console commands simply because I don't like the way the new video interface disguises the names of everything.

Ozbert,

Any progress on your list? I'd really like to see it. If you could add valid ranges for each Cvar, it'd be even more useful (E.g. Cvar (0-200)).

Thanks!
