Generally, I am pretty savvy when it comes to tinkering with something like multiboxing. After just putting 2 instances side by side and bouncing between the 2, I decided Keyclone was the next essential step in my progress.
Now, I'm not that familiar with macros in WoW, but I am learning- and the most important thing I have found so far is that jsut about any single action can be macroed if I find the right commands to type, so I am not worried there.
It's setting up Keyclone that has me stumped. I checked out the Keyclone site and the tutorial here, and they both basically get Keyclone onto your instances of WoW, and then...you're kind of on your own, and that's where my tinkering ability conflicts with my desire not to mess something up.
Running 2 starter druids, one a level 8 I had shelved months ago, and a new level one tonight, I immediately found that every single keystroke was sent, to the point that I was saying things with both toons. ANother glitch was that if both toons stopped, and were facing different directions, and I hit the W key to run, they ran off in different directions.
I haven't come across something here that says "to keep from getting really screwed up, set up KC like this...
Now I know y'all don't wanna hand hold and spoon feed anyone, but would this be where I use KC ability to exclude or specifically include only certain keystrokes? For example, a simple fix would be letting only the number keys that correspond to toolbar actions pass through for now, but I know it would mean spending every play session realizing I need more and more keys to pass through and fixing it.
For movement, I am thinking I can set the slave to different movement keys. But what about the basic commands like /p or /s /g etc....
I'm always paranoid about setting up new stuff on my machine- as it is, I have set resolution to 800 by 600 and need to adjust it every time I am running only one toon...I don't want logging in and playing to feel like work.
Can someone give me some help on BASIC setup steps, assuming that I have only been interested in and trying this out for 3 days? I have read everything I could find that said "Read here before you ask" and "new boxers read this" . But maybe the assumption is that I know more than I do...
By the way, this is an awesome website, it's nice to see a community truly working together and not working to out-do the next guy in a negative way. Thanks all!
