DAoC dual-boxing

oh no thats fine, just wanted to make sure I was on the cutting edge of your versions

That's great. Seriously, that motivates me to work faster on it.

I'm confused about WoW. I saw a few comments on bulletin boards saying HotkeyNet doesn't send to WoW in the background, so I figured I'd have to add a ControlSend command like AutoHotKey has. But I just finished installing WoW and tried HKN's SendWinMF with it, and it seems to work fine in the background. What am I missing here?

Edit: My mistake. I can only find one comment ike that in Google, and they were talking about SendWinM before SendWinMF got added to the program.

Just activated my 3 daoc accounts so Ill be testing and most likely bugging the hell out of you.

Another thing, do you have any form of comments in your system? So like I can // key to remove it temporarily from a file? would make it so I only need one file, and I can comment my own stuff so at 4am and I get macro nuts, the following day I know what the hell I was thinking.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to getting bugged. Good or bad, feedback keeps going.

Yeah you can use // for a comment, but it has to be at the start of a line due to a bug which will be fixed in the next build.

Code:

---

// ---------------------------------------
// THIS COMMENT WORKS
// ---------------------------------------
<hotkey grave>
    <sendpc local>
        <sendwinMF Dark>
            <grave>  //  BUT THIS COMMENT WILL CRASH THE PROGRAM DUE TO BUG

---

I just fixed that bug real quick but didn't have time to test the new build (number 57), so I put it on the site as "experimental." It should let you put // in the middle of a line.

awesome Ill test it out shortly

Hey Freddie! :love: Just wanted to say that you're awesome and I've been having tons of fun with your program since your new releases ^^

I also introduced my friends who like dual-boxing (or more!) to your program and they really love it too :D

One thing we did notice though, you know how the hotbars in daoc switch with Shift 1-10? (or whatever key modifier, like ctrl or alt)

HKN works only for the local machine <sendpc local> but it doesn't seem to do it when sending the same exact command for any of the clients <sendpc 192.168.1.101> for example, to switch the daoc hotbars.

It would look like this:

Code:

---

<Hotkey numpad1>
<SendPC Local>
<SetFocusDelay 0 50>
<SendWinBackgroundDAOC daoc1>
<shift 2>
<SendWinBackgroundDAOC daoc2>
<shift 2>
<SendPC 192.168.1.25>
<SetFocusDelay 0 50>
<SendWinBackgroundDAOC daoc1>
<shift 2>
<SendWinBackgroundDAOC daoc2>
<shift 2>

Thanks a bunch for your hard work :love:

Thanks a lot for the kind words. My current work build has changed a lot since the last public build, so instead of me looking at the problem now in the older build that you're using, I think we should wait till build 59 goes up on the site. If the problem still exists in that new build, I'll work on it.

But I'll say two things that might help. Every time somebody has told me that a command behaved differently on a local and remote machine, the reason turned out to be that the hotkey trigger included a shift, alt, or ctrl key, and they were still holding down that key when the hotkey executed, causing the games on the local machine to see something different from the games on the remote machine.

I'm having issues with this as well. I want to broadcast the command shift + 2 to my other clients/computers (to switch bars) and I can't seem to get it to work. any idea's?
