Hotkeynet WOW 8.0.1 not working 2 accounts with 2 computers

So I've had this issue before where both HKN connects (2 accounts/2 computers) and shows on both computers as connected but nothing happens in terms of broadcasting key strokes. The last fix I found that worked was to simply play the game in Full Screen mode on both machines. Everything worked great till Patch 8.0.1 came out and stopped Full Screen support. Now WOW only offers Windowed and Full Screen-Windowed modes. The true Full Screen option is gone.

I use the sample script no changes other that the IP address.

Has any seen a fix or another working script for HKN for 2 accounts on 2 computers for WOW 8.0.1?

I would assume this is due to the "hidden secondary windows" thing that has caused issues in a few patches: https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...ce-Patch-8-0-1

Tried that, I'm a noob when it comes to scripting.

For this one that i tried

Code:

---

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Ctrl R>
<SendPC local>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW1>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoWa>
<SendPC "PC 2 IP address">
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW2>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoWb>

---

I have the following error. I used My IP address in the PC 2 field.

Code:

For this one I received the same error. I use two computers, 2 accounts so I'm not sure if that matters. I also manually start both games.

Code:

---

// Command version of the same function to rename all of the World of Warcraft Windows
<Command RenameAllWindows>
<SendPC local>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW1>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW2>

<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW4>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW5>

<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoWc>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoWd>

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm unclear on the RCRTL as well. Does this mean I have to now hit the right ctrl key on my keyboard to start this? Before it was just the scroll lock key.


This was my script when it was working before 8.0 Kind of feeling dumb now...

Switch the wow1 <-> wowa around same for wow2 <-> wowb. The secondary or as I call them shadow windows will be renamed first.

For the second exmaple, this one you're sending numbers to the first computer then alphabet to the second computer, the first example should be the correct way if I'm not mistaken.

I changed the script as suggested

Code:

Interesting, after doing the rename check each wow that is open and let me know what the title is called. Want to make sure it's renaming properly if they do then it's a different issue.

Not sure how to get that info for you. Task manger shows 2 Wow programs

So I copied a sample script from the HKN site and added your changes again just in case I missed something. After the reload of the script it's not generating errors anymore. It's still not broadcasting though to the other machine. It also still kills the second computers wow game when I hit the space bar on the second computer.

Maybe at this time I'm just not activating it correctly. I'm a little confused with how to trigger it. I used scroll lock previously and it working like a champ. Now the script is saying ctrlR.
Is that CTRL +R then good or is it CTRL on the right side of the keyboard? Stupid I know


I added the script that shows no errors but doesn't broadcast

I could be wrong, but after you rename windows, I would have thought that you would need to adjust the labels to use the new names??

Code:

---

<Label w1 Local SendWin WoW1>
<Label w2 10.0.0.141 SendWin WoW2>

So this is what I think you mean, still doesn't generate HKN errors but doesn't broadcast either, and the space bar on the second PC still kills WoW

No, pretty sure I meant what I put in the post, which is not what you have put in your script.

What you've added doesn't even follow the command syntax properly.
