Having trouble getting started

I'm trying to get started in multi-clienting, in Runes of Magic. I've downloaded and installed AutoHotKey, but I'm having trouble getting it to work, for just 2 clients for now.

I copied and pasted the sample from the AHK wiki and modified it from WoW names to RoM names, but it's not functioning as of yet. If I can get this chunk of code working, I can get the rest, so, anyone have tips for this?

Code:

---

ClonesPush(strKeys)
{
    global RomWinId1
    global RomWinId2
   
    IfWinNotActive, ahk_id %RomWinId1%
        ControlSend, , %strKeys%, ahk_id %RomWinId1%
    IfWinNotActive, ahk_id %RomWinId2%
        ControlSend, , %strKeys%, ahk_id %RomWinId2%
}

;Grab unique window ID's
WinGet, RomWinId, List, Runes of Magic

; *******************************
; *** Only if RoM is in focus ***
; *******************************
#IfWinActive, Runes of Magic

;*** Special Functions ***

; *** Makes clones jump with main ***
~Space::ClonesPush("{Space down}{Space up}")

---

I figure it's an issue with naming the windows. when Rom is open and I mouse over the toolbar icon, it says its name is 'Ispania Application', dunno whether that's it.

I know it's not very constructive to your situation... but... get keyclone!

FrogsterAmerica (the company behind RoM) just banned 50% of its users for a combination of character automation and selling/buying items outside of the game. AHK is one of the "disliked" applications because it allows scripting. Yes, the game has a ton of built-in scripting, BUT they can regulate that. GM's have already said multi-boxing is okay, but running scripted-clients is not.

I've been reported over 200 times. People *still* refer to me as the "botter". I'm using keyclone and I'm still around. I'm only making the suggestion to switch from AHK because I would hate to see someone from the community get banned after spending time (and perhaps real money) on this game. I'm sure there are other alternatives to keyclone...I recommend it because I'm using it, and it works very well for this game. For a $20 one-time-fee, where you get unlimited support, is a steal. If you can't afford $20, you can't afford multi-boxing RoM.

Mounts cost anywhere from 99 diamonds to 299 diamonds; depending on quantity, diamonds can cost .05 cents per diamond - $5 - $15 per mount. It would take you about 3-5 months to grind up enough gold to buy 100 diamonds (going rate is 2 million gold for 100 diamonds).

Thanks for the tip, I'll check out keyclone right now. I guess people can disregard the query for help with AHK.

And it's not that hard to make money. I'm on Reni, a still growing server, there's a ton of money in selling low level blues and epic skill items.

...and the economy on that server is going to reflect that. If it's a low pop server, the diamonds are going to be selling for more, because there will be more demand for them.

I'm not going to argue that you can't make a ton of money selling low level blues and epic skill items.

Again, you can spend a month grinding out enough gold to buy enough diamonds to buy mounts for all of your characters..

-or-

If your'e a minor, don't have a job, or are just flat broke... you can spend 2-3 days mowing your neighbors yard, washing cars, setting up a lemonaide stand, etc... to get that $20 and to get enough money to buy diamonds.

Time = Money

Don't waste 1-2 months when you can get the end result in 2-3 days.

So I got KeyClone, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I open both accounts and get them logged in, the open keyclone, click add and click in the window for each client, but it doesn't seem to work.

Do I need to set up key maps? I was under the impression that those aren't needed for basic use. So what is it that I'm missing?

I'm not sitting in front of my gaming PC at the moment, but off of the top of my head... you need to change the configuration of keyclone to look for window titles of "Runes of Magic'. It should do this automatically.

I'm sure this has been covered many times in many different forums, so I don't want to diverge in it here. If you can't find any info on it let me know and I'll find it for you.

You don't necessarily need key maps, but I recommend adding Q W E A D to the Do-Not-Pass list.

When I get home, I'll try to dig up some useful keyclone posts.

That'd be helpful, I've searched both this forum and google for posts relating keyclone to runes of magic, but there's not much.

In keyclone, under the "general" tab... check the box labeled "auto-add windows titled" and in the edit field, add "runes of magic".

This will make it so keyclone finds your game instead of you having to add it each time.

For christ's sake, I've been using Windows 7 for like 3 months now and still haven't gotten used to everything. Turns out I've done everything right to get the program running like 4 or 5 times, but since I didn't use keyclone in administrator mode, it was all for naught.

well i dont know if u care about the AHK really anymore but here are somethings i got to work


WinGet, RomWinId, List, Runes of Magic
#IfWinActive, Runes of Magic
~-::
ControlSend,,{- down}{- up}, ahk_id %RomWinId1%
ControlSend,,{- down}{- up}, ahk_id %RomWinId2%
return
****had - as my follow macro****

****action bar,1****
#IfWinActive, Runes of Magic
~1::
ControlSend,,{1 down}{1 up}, ahk_id %RomWinId1%
ControlSend,,{1 down}{1 up}, ahk_id %RomWinId2%
return

change the 1 to other action bar numbers 1-0 for other action bar commands

****jumping****
#IfWinActive, Runes of Magic
~space::
ControlSend,,{space down}{space up}, ahk_id %RomWinId1%
ControlSend,,{space down}{space up}, ahk_id %RomWinId2%
