I just came back here to say I got myself connected. The name didn't work, but the IP Address number did.

I'll have to work more on it tomorrow with the keys, but the only ones being recognized by both PCs are WSAD.

I have 94 buttons in the keyboard list, and around 40 for the mouse.

Also WSAD on the main work perfectly, but on the other it's straight with a little vearing to the right (i.e. Main goes North, while Alt goes North-East).

Late for me, but wanted to add this in case I couldn't find an answer when I get back to it tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the help and replies. :)

If I read it right, the instructions provided in KVM (KM) should have made both screens turn into "one" so to speak? If so, that didn't work either (I have them set up so Main got Left and Alt got Right). I even reversed it so Main got Right and Alt Left, but still nothing. Both screen resolutions are set at 1680x1050.

Unable to load your site

I was attempting to download Octopus to try it out. Your site does not load for me. Is it currently down? Or should I be looking at other reasons? Oh and thanks again for your time and effort on this project.

Haha, I loaded up my computers and opened Octopus on each one. Well, after clicking on the "Configure" button (Main PC) for the monitors I got this thread of errors.

Yes I installed the needed files to use this program, I was for a little getting more and more buttons working with both than WSAD.

Jmachie, If you can't access it for an extended period then perhaps there is a problem with this host... but I really don't get told anything about up/down time. Being Australia located anything may happen between here and your location... so I just don't know...... I'm moving hosts soon anyhow.....

and.... thanks for the bug report I think this is something I've experienced, but its once in a blue moon so I've just left it..... I'll make a note.

Mouse/Keyboard hook?

According to http://l00py.net/wow/OctopusTutorial/4.png , I should have the same list. I do, minus the hooks, how do I get them to be seen? I went through the walkthrough on the wiki a second time making sure I didn't miss anything, and that's when I noticed this.

Are there other files/options I need to download/check for this to be seen?

I have the hooks checked as stated, and rebooted the client to make sure I got the firewall check (and allowed it though). Now I am seeing in the list "Removed Hooks" when I connect, which I find odd. The only hook I did not check is the Direct3D one.

Is the problem with the KM... ? there's not much I can add.. this KM is old and I'm going to remove it. My new KM is much better, and I have plans to include a multi-level log at some stage for any problems that arise ... with this, somtimes i had to open and shut the KM config for it to update... but restarting the app would have the same effect... it just worked....

btw That pic is old... I took out the hook message since .. its dumb. it's not going to fail, if it does, you'll get a message :)

Ok, deleting this post for two reasons...

1. Got them to communicate, BUT...

Inside the game is issues. If I have the alt follow, it won't follow because I hold down the Left & Right mouse button to turn (and thus kicks her off follow mode). That makes no sense, due to I NEVER held the LShift (Click Broadcast) button. Yet, if I want to do anything else with the mouse, I need to hold LShift (including picking up loot, talking to NPC, Accepting Quests...), just weird.

Also, what's the Passall (keys) on the bottom of the program. I need to check that in order for the Alt to cast at the same time as my main when I press a button.
09-15-2008, 11:15 PM
skarlot

The idea with pass all keys is it overrides the key list. Say, for typing in the same password across lots of toons, or emoting or whatever.

why is it loosing follow? is the left or right button broadcast?

Also, if Lshift is the click toggle, from memory it won't be broadcast as well, unless lshift -> lshift is on the mapping list. Then other clients will see unmodified clicks/key strokes and match against that.
09-16-2008, 02:00 AM
VlyZy

Ah, good to know. I was having issues with the LShift key. Reading that bit, I'll have to try the LShift -> LShift first. Then change it (if it doesn't best help me), not Tab, because I use that to target mobs (albeit, if needed I'll make a macro to target mobs and players).

I tested the follow, and realized in order to NOT lose follow, I had to remove WSAD as the moving buttons from the Alt as well (when Pass Key All was on). I forgot I had that on since it was the only way (at the time) I could have them cast the same thing at the same time.

Trying to find the best way to keep my alt on follow, so when in PVP, I don't lose follow.

Besides the "Pass All Key" option, is there a way I can have SOME keys be pass all? For example, I am trying to level two Mages, and I want them to both use certain spells at the same time (i.e. Fireball) without having to use the Broadcast key, while others (Frost Nova) I want to use the broadcast key so when one is on cool, I can use the other when needed.

EDIT: Well this is new... I shutdown Octopus on both PCs, then loaded them both back up and lost all my info on the Main, yet the Alt PC was untouched. :(

The only foreseeable problem with config files, is if somehow the app doesn't have permission to modify/delete files in it's folder. I'd be suprised if this happens when run as an admin, because I have lots of checks around config loading / saving....

what I do is, follow key is broadcast, alts follow party1 from a follow macro, movement (ESDF) keys are not broadcast, W is like a strafe/spread out for all my alts (breaks follow). CTRL + ESDF moves/rotates all toons, etc. Pass all I use rarely... (or override DNP in keyclone which I'm using right now lol). Theres loads of different ways... thats just how I do it.

Vista: 'Run as administrator' is probably advised (when using an admin account with UAC) and required for the keyclone anti double keying. Things like config not saving have been reported without.

Not even needed, I run it as a non-admin and it works perfectly. (Then again, I uninstalled keyclone, so no double keying can occur)

As for the config file, save it in a directory where you have permissions as non-admin (eg: NOT program files :p)

Just tried to set up a leaderless setup and found out there's not hotstring support in Octopus :(

Unless I'm overlooking something? Any has gotten a leaderless setup working with Octo?

Accurate Clicking

Are there any hints on getting the clicks more accurate between windows? After tinkering for 2 days I finally figured out how to get everything working, only whenever I click, the client clicks in a different spot (20-40 pixels away probably) and when it jumps back to the main window, my cursors in a different spot. I had to turn wow mode off under client->mouse, as the game I'm playing apparently isn't compatible, as the client will always click in the 0 x 0 position when it's on.

Edit: Nevermind, I either fixed it or found a work-around. I changed all the resolutions in KM to the size of the window instead of the size of the screen. Now it works pefect. :)

OHHHHHH!!!! Is that the secret? You change KM to be the size of the WoW window and then it wil be correct? Wow, that would really be helpful if that were posted some where. I must have missed it in the tutorials... :(

I don't know how the KM is going to affect the accuracy of clicks. Sorry, but it's just not going to do that.... it makes no sense... The KM is looking for links on the edge of the screens and is disabled during a click cycle. If it wasn't, it'd be obvious. I find this hard to believe.

For some reason I thought it was on skarlot's site. My bad! I got keyclone working pretty good. Probably better off with that since Octopus is no longer being developed, anywho.

If you're using span mode, then your graphics drivers are just reporting one extra wide screen to the OS instead of two screens.

For example, if you span across two 1920x1200 screens, then Windows thinks you have a single screen of 3840x1200. Set up your maximiser for that desktop size and you should be fine.

2 games on one PC?

I read this thread, wiki, and I still can't make Octopus work on 1 PC with 2 instances of WoW. Perhaps I just don't understand the concept of what is server and what is client and how to configure it. And I couldn't find an example of such configuration. Is Octopus supposed to start second copy of the game? I found the place where you can specify WoW.exe filename, but it won't start it. Or should I start it manually? Then how do I connect to it? Any help?

EDIT: Eventually I figured it out. Not sure how, but it works. :) Both my instances of WoW accept keystokes from each other. Guess now I will have to start figuring macros and bindings.
10-08-2008, 01:22 PM

Can I setup key modifiers to change my keyboard/mouse to control a specific instance versus all instances?

For example, I'd like to bind F10 to tell Octopus to send all keyboard/mouse events to ALL instances. Then, I'd bind F11 to tell Octopus to send keyboard/mouse events ONLY to instance #1, F12 for instance #2, etc, etc.

Oh, and I guess I'd need Octopus to set the window focus on that specific instance (or my default/instance #1).

That way I could easily switch between instances and do character-specific stuff when needed... (eg. move my mage out of the way, etc, etc).
10-08-2008, 01:50 PM

yeah the idea with this program is just all input goes to the focused window on the focused client and the keylist filters for the rest of them.

The above link is not working for me at all. I've tried numerous times, different methods. Shut my firewall off temporarily and stuff, and it still does not work.

Is there an alternate mirror for the software?

UPDATE: Never mind. It just all sudden decides to work.

Greetings.

The feature described with sending cursor to multiple windows on one computer is exactly what I've been looking for.

Sadly the link isn't working for me atm, http://www.skarlot.net/octopus

Not for any of my friends who I've asked to check for me either.

If anyone can help me that would be great =) I know that the project is on hold at the moment, but I could really really need it.

Also, will the cursor feature only work for WoW?
10-14-2008, 12:04 PM

ok i took it down but now I'll put it back up (I hate to see it unavailable:P). Yes the cursor feature is only for WoW right now. I havn't even thought abuot it with anything else.

I was specifically interested in trying it for DAoC (dark age of camelot), since the program doesn't like to accept keystrokes before the window is active. Was hoping yours could work better :)

1.3.6a
Register tab moved to server tabs and changed so client won't try verify trial. (only relivent if you have > 1 PC) =)

1.3.6
Instance monitoring: changes to instance listing and run all to reflect non active instances.
Moved wowhook dll injection option to client.
Added wowhook option for allowing background clicks.
Removed D3D hook (causing crashes on PiP and Launch, finding a better and easier alternative...)
The profiles setup window is resizable.
Corrected a tooltip for mouse look delay to remove the reference to focus follows mouse which has its own delay timer.
Removed the multicolor theme (yeah ok).

Please note... both of the dependency packages are at service pack 1 now. they are linked at skarlot.net/octopus. If you don't upgrade .NET it'll almost definitely crash!

I've decided to make this app $20 AUD, it will have a 2 week trial period where it phones home and then after activating it doesn't require that.

PS people who donated just PM me and i'll give a free serial code.

1.3.6b
Added timed config saving.
Fix: Stopped clipboard transfers > than incoming buffer allocations.
Supports L/R button switching (via control panel/mouse - Apply button must be hit before changes take effect).

I hope WOTLK inspires me to make Octopus 2 :P.

That's what I assumed as well. I'll have to go back and double check (Trying to trouble shoot another persons client without the ability to see it, they might have hit a bad key in their games path).

Skarlot,

EDIT: Removed. The problem I was experiencing was directly related to Micrsoft and was kicking back a generic error code and also appeared unique. Removed for lack of any further assistance value to other members. (And because I didn't want to post another thread saying "Yay, Microsoft sux and I fixed it." .. :P )
11-09-2008, 12:55 AM

oh good, problem 2 is solved :)

I mean, I have no idea about how .NET installs really. What 3.5 SP1 says is it covers all previous versions. So if I had a problem I'd just uninstall all previous versions then install .NET 3.5 sp1.

There is a .NET forum here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/for...setup/threads/, it seems it is not unusual to have a problem with it. 8o

googling "DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 x86 is not installed." has a few results... such as http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualS...dbackID=345315
