Hey folks,
I'm trying to dual box and really want octopus to toggle where it is sending key strokes rather than send them to all instances in wow. Is there a way for me to get the keypass thing simply send my keys to a single instance when toggled? It does this for the main instance when toggled off obviously... but I really want it working that way on a 2nd instance.
If you mean being able to send specialized keys to a particular instance instead of sending them to all instances, then the answer is no. If you want to send things to just 2 of 3 instances of WoW, you can do that by "blocking" the WoWs you don't want it sending to. When you pause/bypass key broadcasting, you will only send keys to whichever WoW is in the foreground, so you'll just have to make sure you're on the right WoW. I do that regularly for chatting or certain specific things across multiple PCs.
How does one block keys being sent while broadcast toggle is on? I don't really see anywhere to define which instances should or should not be receiving data from octopus when the key broadcast is on (or any broadcast for that matter).
Look in the main status window after you connect all your wows. Right-click the client you want to block and click "block." Voila. :)
I used Octopus broadcast for a long time and had a lot of problems with key modifiers being sent while I'm doing something else in the window, causing the modifier incorrectly applying to the wrong key.
Anyway, use hotkeynet and reduce your broadcast keys. In addition, avoid key modifiers if possible.
The downside with hotkeynet seems to be that it uses IP addresses and not names, so if you use DHCP, your IP address can change.
That's true. That's one of HotkeyNet's shortcomings that I'm improving in Mojo.Quote:
