I have a problem, hopefully someone has an idea how to solve it...

My set up is to use one computer with 5 clients, and keyclone. I use the pip function to swap characers to one main window from 4 small widows, promoting and focusing the character at the same time.

My goal is to have all the characters movement bound to the arrow keys, and then use keyclones nopass function on the arrow keys. So whatever character is in the main window will be movable through the arrow keys but the clones will not get those keys passed. So far easy enough, the problem comes with controling clone movement from the main's window, to this I bound everyone's movement to the wasd keys (except the typical main). So I can now swap leaders if the main dies and control the new main and clones with the same control scheme.

The flaw is that I can't bind formation macros since my clones have both WASD and the directional keys bound.
Obviously I need the ability to do formations, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this?

Help...

Use the keymapping function in keyclone.

Problem solved.

I use it for formations, It got me my arrow keys back.

Thanks dude, you learn something obvious everyday. I never realized that is what that is for.
Only thing that sucks is I went and gave up last night and rebound everything. Doh

Thanks again :>

It's worth the time to set it up. Lots of interesting things can be done with that

As far as other possibilities (second time I've posted this pic today) this is what you can do if you're creative with a mouse..

Wow I just can't figure out how the keymapping works...
been messing with it for awhile now, can't seem to get anything that makes sense on search either.
Don't suppose you could give a mini tutorial, I get how to make save and load a keymap, just not what to key map.
In other words how does keymap help me?
for example what does your formation keymap look like?

I'm not at home so I can't show you my exact keymaps, I'll try and do this from memory and be brief. As far as the initial generation of your kcf files, I forget off the top of my head but it's not that hard IIRC.

lets say you got 5 accts

You make 5 DIFFERENT keymap files

#1 (brain) - keypress = Z, keymap name = formation
#2 (clone1) - keypress = UP, keymap name = formation
#3 (clone2) - keypress = DOWN, keymap name = formation
#4 (clone3) - keypress = LEFT, keymap name = formation
#5 (clone4) - keypress = RIGHT, keymap name = formation

You ASSIGN they keymaps in your commands - which will associate each of the 5 keymaps to a seperate client.

Once you have them all loaded, you press "Z" on your main - KC will send the keymap "formation" to 2,3,4,5 - and execute the keypress indicated for each individual clone (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT)
