Well if you need to do that, im shure someone has posted this but to run forward with your second character you can try this script:
[code:1]~w::ControlSend, , {w Down}, ahk_id %wowid2%
~w Up::ControlSend, , {w Up}, ahk_id %wowid2%[/code:1]

There is no more free suggestions. You can try Keyclone software or 2 PC with Hardware. Or AHK. Your choice.

i want to tryout the 2xWoW on one pc.. so i want to try autohotkey... i have also 2 or more pc's available, but it doesnt make sense yet...
just want to try it, but im afraid of loosing my main acc...
Sorry on those of you waiting on my updated window detection routine. I'll try and find some time this week and get it updated.
well, I have asked a GM about legality of using software like Autohotkey but he told me 3 god damn times to read EULA and TOS. I tried to talk with him more about the software but he was like "I know nothing!". Actually, after all he told me to go to the forums if I want deeper discussion.
I dont really want to post anything on forums because of all those stupid "bot!" kids around. And probably they will delete the thread anyways. :?
I haven't use Keyclone, but since it's not open sourced, only the author can change how it can work. And as it stands, he only programmed it to broadcast keys, where AHK can be programmed to "BOT."
I think it might be worth coughing up the $10 for those who want to stay a little safer. As for me, vetra all the way baby!
AutoHotkey is one of those 'GREY AREA' tools to use along with WoW, they have not come out and said it is against the rules to use.
AutoIT on the other hand is 'BLACKLISTED' because there was a bot that was written with it.
The two pieces of software here are written by the same company they function 'Almost' the sameway however, AutoHotkey is the dumber little brother to AutoIT.
What does that mean, basically AutoIT has more features and functionality then AutoHotkey mainly the Read/Write to Process Memory function. That alone allows the scripter "if they knew what they were doing" to create a memory reader/writer that could allow for things like 'Warp', 'Speedhacks', among a list of other things. And if i'm correct it has basic packet writing abilities as well. (not 100% sure on the packet thing).
Yes, Autohotkey could be used to automate some actions in WoW, would they be useful? Probably not unless coupled with the memory reading. But this could be said with a number of other programs as well. In fact you could do the very same things with VBS (Visual Basic Script) and use the WindowsScriptingHost to play back the actions.
Everything we do here is 'Grey Area' anyways, to argue over the fact which is the lesser of any evils is a moot point. It's basically down to which route you want to take and how much money/time you want to put into it, if any.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks Scorn!
why do you just have to quote the longests posts ever? :/
Yea I'm sorry :[ I noticed how long it was after I posted it.
What if I want to type something in party chat or guild chat? I start typing and both clients start typing, but I dont want the same thing to come out twice so I want to type with my main only.
How can I do that, if there is anyway, without suspending the script?
From what I have read, the only way to do this is, indeed, to suspend the script.Quote:

but it doesn't work. And I have no idea how to debug it. Any ideas where to start lol? Also, I am running both coppies of WOW from 1 installation, so far the only problem I've had is my macros used for all characters get deleted. Is there some reason I should bite the bullet and create another installation?
u u have to have wow installed for every wow u run. just copy the wow in ur c;programfiles save to ur desktop
Tried out AHK last night. It works... well, lets say 80% of the time:
Example:
1) I have "B" bind to bags (in Wow). Pressing "B" opens bags in both active(main) and inactive(clone) windows simultaniously about 3 to 5 times, then one of the windows "misses" a keypress and bags open alternate, for a while (3-5 times), then one "misses" again so the'yre back in synch, etc....
2) second problem is movement: Press and hold E in active window wil make main toon strafe smoothly, but clone will be extremely jerky, unplayable. And visa-versa. (I'll try the scripting -suggestions for movement given here when i get home tonight.
[code:1]~2::
KeyWait 2
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
{
ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid2%
Return
}[/code:1]
I do not recommend using this kind of broadcasting.
Either way, it always broadcast the key a second time to the active window.
[code:1]
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
2::
ControlSend,, {2 down}, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, {2 down}, ahk_id %wowid2%
KeyWait, 2
ControlSend,, {2 up}, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, {2 up}, ahk_id %wowid2%
Return
[/code:1]
I found that this model behaves exactly like it is supposed to with WoW.
WoW reacts on both keystates (down it highlights the icon, up it launches the action/macro) and this script allows that, makes it look like normal keyboard broadcast.
You can, of course, use any WoW window to broadcast your keystroke without the fear of double-sending the key.
There is one downside though, and I still haven't figured a way out of it yet, and it is caused by how AHK handles hotkey threading.
Say I press Shift-2 but don't release it yet, and add 3 to the shift-2 combo. So now Shift, 2 and 3 are pressed together. In AHK, I have a broadcast script telling my WoWs to press Shift-2 and Shift-3. BUT, once I pressed Shift-2, and since I haven't released it its thread stay active, Shift-3 doesn't activate UNTIL I release 2. Anyway, it does some weird behavior when you try to cast something, change your mind and try to cast something else before (Shift-2 down, 3 down, release 3, cast Shift-3, wait for cooldown and release Shift-2).
It's not much of a problem if you are careful, plus I find the benefit of seemless keyboard broadcast much more interesting.
To AlfaStation: your problem with your bags comes from the double B sent to the active window: sometimes WoW receives both Bs and just doesn't seem to be doing anything because of that. Remove the ~ and it should solve your problem.
Atsuki: You're a Genious!
Thanks! /kiss :D :D :D
Now it works how its supposed to ^^, even walking-strafe works fine like that in wow.
(ps: you forgot #, but you're still a genious 8) )
yeah, thanks, that script works for me. the other one not only didn't work but caused my computer to act really wonky.
No problem. ;)Quote:

I'v bumped into a little problem while running AHK.
I run two WoW-windows on on computer, running them on two different monitors at the moment (I'v tried using only one minitor aswell, but I guess this is irrelevant).
I'd like to have both WoW-windows up at the same time since it makes it alot easier to pick up questloot, accept quests etc.
It works fine and runs smoothly when I have the game minimzed.
But when I have both windows up, my secondary character gets logged out after ~20 seconds of playing, anyone else that have experienced this?
Nope. Never had a disconnect when 2 wow clients are in 2 different monitors. I only get D/Cs when one is in the background of the other. Check your memory load. Your comp might be choking. Also uncheck your V-Sync in the Video Settings.Quote:

The horizontal span helped a little regarding fps, got it up to 70. I'v got 1100mb of 49xx memory usage when running two wows, firefox and mirc.
So I don't think it's choking, I have no idea what the problem is tho :(.
Solved it, thanks for the help :).

how/where i check this?
if u r using nvidia graphic card there must be software "NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager". It usually makes icon in tray. Also u always can find it in Control Panel.
Same with ATI... the catalyst control centre....
you must unattach (logically) the 2nd monitor as the option to span is only available when you attach it
I've been trying to bind some keys to the numpad but I'm unable to use the NumpadPlus and NumpadMinus keys, I get an error that says "key does not exist in the current keyboard layout."
Any ideas? thanks in advance.
if I am not mistaken, it spells like NumpadAdd and NumpadSub
yep, that works, didn't notice there's another auto-hotkey thread in the general forums.
So I just started using this program and have been playing with my hunter and paly in AV. Now in order to keep my paladin from going AFK I had set up my hunter's move forward key to be my paladins mini-map zoom out hot key so that he's be doing something every time I moved forward on my hunter. I just have my paladin /follow my hunter rather than bind movement keys together for both.... so I'm kinda stumped as to another solution because I don't like my paladin not having his move forward key bound. Andyone got an idea ? :P
errr... jump? :DQuote:

EDIT: Meh.
This seems to work just fine...Dunno what I did wrong last time o.O

Hello.
I have this problem with ahk. Currently I'm testing with two computers: a normal desktop pc and a laptop. I'm running two wow clients on both of them so I have four characters now. Main character is A which ofcourse runs on my primary computer. On the same computer is also other char which is B. Char C is fullscreen client on my laptop and D is minimized client. I'm using Synergy/Multibox (both of them seems to work exactly the same in WoW) to broadcast my keys from desktop pc to laptop. So A and C which are on fullscreen work just fine but B and D causes some problems.
I've been searching some scripts from this forum but no matter which one I use it does not work properly. For example I have Frost Armor binded to "1". When I hold 1 down on my keyboard B and D casts their frost armor instantly and keep casting it as long as the button is hold down. A and C in the other hand cast it only after the button is released, which is ofcourse how it should work. So the problem is that ahk keeps spamming the button up and down as long as I keep it pressed down. Any ideas?
The scripts I've tested this with:
[code:1]~1::
ControlSend, , {1 Down}, ahk_id %idClone%
~1 Up::
ControlSend, , {1 Up}, ahk_id %idClone%
[/code:1]
[code:1]#IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
~2::
;ControlSend,, {1 down}, ahk_id %idMain%
ControlSend,, {1 down}, ahk_id %idClone%
KeyWait, 2
;ControlSend,, {1 up}, ahk_id %idMain%
ControlSend,, {1 up}, ahk_id %idClone%
Return[/code:1]
[code:1]#IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
~1::
ControlSend,,{1 down}{1 up}, ahk_id %idClone%
return [/code:1]
Omg i got a mean bug O.o
Makes me unanvible to run the program :
Error at Line 21.
Line text 1
Error dublicant hotkey.
The program will exit.
And i really cant get it away.. I'v reinstallet it many times..
Duplicant hotkey?Quote:

The autoHotkey.exe..
Any ideas to reset ?
you cant actually open it ;)
you just need to install it and then make scripts in Notepad, then rename files to *.ahk and start them with double-click
Open the SCRIPT file that it was compiled from - Edit that.
