Keyclone Guide: Switching Multiboxing Setups

[RobinGBrown]

I tend to switch between 3 different setups for my multiboxing:



3 box with Account A as main, and accounts B and C as slaves with large windows
4 box with Account A as main and accounts B, C, and D as slaves with small windows
4 box with Account D as main and accounts A, B, and C as slaves used for boosting instancesNow if you were using keyclone to set this up every time you would have to do quite a lot of work to reconfigure maximizer settings, commands, etc. Here's how to easily switch between the various setups and allow keyclone to fire them up for you.



First step is to get one of your setups working perfectly, doesn't matter which one, get maximizer sorted, commands and startup ready.
Close keyclone and copy then save the keyclone.ini file as something like keycloneXXX.ini (filename doesn't matter)
Now get your next setup working perfectly then save the ini file with another name, do this for each setup you want to use.You should now have a number of keycloneXXX.ini files as well as the original keyclone.ini.

To switch to a particular setup simply:



Open the keycloneXXX.ini file using notepad
Copy all the contents (CTRL+A then CTRL+C in notepad)
Close the file
Open the keyclone.ini file using notepad
Select all (CTRL+A)
Paste into the keyclone.ini file (CTRL+C)
Save and closeThen start keyclone as normal and it will fire up with your chosen setup.

Just thinking, but couldn't you just have 3 different installs for Keyclone with your different setups? Then have shortcuts for whatever setup you were going to use? I can't test this right now, but I think it should work in theory. Or maybe build batch files that did the copying for you for each layout you wanted.

Different keyclone folders works aswell,
I used that method when I started creating the "/focus" focused setup

Excellent tip. There were a few times after updating keyclone where i'd lose my settings and have to do it all over again. Or when I purchase it on a new machine. Now I know which file to back up, and also to change for different settings.

Thanks!

and that magically changes your maximizer setup does it? don't forget you can export and import your maximizer layouts.. making it a bit easier

(and yes, profiles are on the list for next release)
