That 1/20 would piss me the fuck off. To me I try to game to 100% efficency if at all possible. Currently the only way I know of to 100% efficently loot corpses is to manually mouseover each alt window. Like Teht said if you can figure out a way to work 100% of the time everytime all the time this would be epic... but that 1/20 1/100 would just be another annoyance that would drive me back to manually looting.Quote:

Yeah, I think it might be good enough as is, though. In first person mode, the corpse should be taking up a pretty significant portion of the screen, especially along the bottom edge. Plus, I would wager that this binding would only affect objects in the world frame, not in the UI. Therefore you don't have to worry about leaving the mouse on UI elements.
Pending further testing, I consider this a quality find, thanks for the post!
Out of curiosity, would anyone with more experience than me be able to offer any insight into Autohotkey's mouse functionality? The command reference if found offers a way to move the mouse, but it doesn't seem to have a place to specify the window?

I bet the solution would be to set AHK to send a mouse click to a specific coordinate for each window to set the mouse to that location in each client... Unfortunately that would mean the people who hide windows behind the main and use pip to swap them to the foreground would be out of luck.
No problem. I use this myself and find it great. ;)
This isn't anything Blizzard's API can do, so I don't know if I would try this.Quote:

But then again, KeyClone isn't anything the API can do aswell.
Heh...easy alternative:
1) Install Octopus and get it working.
2) Turn on auto-looting in the WoW interface options.
3) Check the Octopus box for Broadcast "Clicks."
4) Park alts next to mob.
5) Right-click the mob on your main screen and observe main loots item.
6) Right-click again for each alt that needs the quest item(s) and observe alts loot in succession.
7) Right-click again and observe skinning alt skins/herbs/mines mob.
It just rocks, and once you get octopus running, enabling it is as simple as checking one box. ;)
LMAO, same here.Quote:

Save a camera location, zoomed in 100%, facing down. To do this set your camera where you want it and type:
SaveView(5)
Save a "normal" camera location, zoom where you normally want them looking...
SaveView(1)
Bind a key as he describes.
Setup a macro on another key as follows:
Macro PreparetoLoot!
/script SetView(5);SetView(5); -- Assuming 5 is your saved for looting camera view.
Macro DoneLooting!
/script SetView(1);SetView(1); -- Assuming 1 is your saved non looting camera view.
Setup a key on your x-keys to press both the "Loot" button and the zoom-the-eff-in button... mash that 2 times and I bet it loots 100% if your toons standing on the mob.
Once done looting, reset your view. A mod could be written to detect when you've looted and reset your camera for you on the loot frame loading...
Sadly, this method doesn't work very well with more than 1 alt following you. With more than one following, they all will end up clicking on one of the party members instead of the corpse. I haven't been able to overcome it in my testing. Anyone else find an alternative to avoid clicking the alts?
Would a formation setup work? Maybe if you spread them out a bit so they weren't on top of each other they could loot. I haven't tried this myself but it looks awesome. I avoid collection quests because having to click on the tiny screens for my clones on my laptop is more time consuming than it's worth.Quote:

Yeah, I suppose if you have each toon follow each other in a line it would work. It just won't work if all of them follow the main and end up standing on top of one another. It doesn't look like it'd be worth it, but I'll give it some testing and report back :)Quote:

He means to hit a spread formation a little bit so that they aren't standing on top of each other but still on top of the corpse.Quote:
