The fact that our current solution is insensitive to machine configuration changes, and is a user registration rather than a machine registration, was one of the major factors in our decision to go the way we did. We also liked the slick registration process, and that the system would still work if the security server was down.

I think that, even with what we have now, you could firewall the program to satisfy your security requirements. I would suggest this:

The installation requires no connection, and can be fire walled till it squeeks.
The security module and key interceptor module run as two separate processes, and can be identified as such by the fire wall.
The security module is provided by a 3rd party, and does not connect to our site. (I can supply the details if required, so you can check them out)
The key interceptor module (which is the bit that could grab sensitive information) can be blocked. It does attempt to listen on a port, but that's for running linked copies of GCP, and for a single copy, is not required. The security module has no access to the intercepted key data (which, as a matter of interest, is not stored - only the last key is held in memory, so even if something did scan our process memory, it couldn't see a password)

This, should, I think answer your concerns about us stealing your keys. As for your disquiet about being dependent on another service, I'd like it if you'd give it a chance, before deciding it's a bad thing. As I said, I really don't having to use security mechanisms at all, but given the need, I really do think this is the best (or at maybe least bad).

If people do report problems with the security module, we could change it within hours.

When I skimmed over your site yesterday, I thought I saw of networking mentioned, but that it wasn't implemented yet, is this not the case or did I misread something? I box across 4 computers and any solution that isn't networkable, is kinda out of the question of me. Just curious.

GCP does have built in networking. There are 2 things we need to do before releasing it.

1) Do a final test and decide whether it's ready for release, and if not, why not - That's on todays plan, so watch this space.
2) Re-package a GCP-Lite which is a receive only version, and doesn't require a licence.

One interesting aspect of GCP's current networking is that it is peer to peer. The practical upshot is, that with some thought, 2 people can be in control. Given that, and some extra sub-groups (such as DPS2, Heals2 etc) you can hand control of bunches of characters from one person to another, in mid battle, at the press of a button.

At the moment, you need to be in the same room to see each others monitor, but watch this space...

Any combination of controllers / clients can be used like this 25 man raids with 3 people anyone?

Nice, I'd be interested in test driving network capability once you've got it ready.

I'm definitely intrigued.

I note that you mentioned that it will become "more lenient" once it's been able to connect a number of times, but do you know for how long it will continue to work if it detects an internet connection but is unable to phone home?

Thanks again.

That's a feature that we haven't been able to test. The supplier says that it will always work in those circumstances, however it's a difficult thing to simulate, and the server has, to our knowledge, not been down since we started using it.

Could you not just make entries in the host file, or firewall the process?

According to the manufacturer, it doesn't react kindly to that sort of thing, but it would be an interesting test. Maybe as we're waiting for the servers to appear...

I stumbled across it, a bit wierd that KC didn't shout it out from the rooftops lol.I'm at work so can't explain it fully but hit setup then go to the section that deals with overrides and select a key to overide mouse something or other, once done hit that key and as if by magic your clones each have there own mouse pointer whoa! Which is great with the overrider so that it's not on all the time, I think it's in the same section as the mute.

[s]Hmm.. can't find it. Could you look after it, the next time you have KeyClone open? :D[/s]

Edit: Nvm.. found it :)

I've not used it myself, but a quiick search found this:

you toggle it on... click.. watch it click on all the screens... repeat until done... then toggle it off.

to set the hotkey for the toggle, go to keyclone/setup/general/mouse-click-passing-hotkey

Hope that helps.

Does GCP create a WTF folder just for it or does it use the wtf already used by wow? I'm wondering how you handle switching layouts and aspect's of the UI in general. From the way it sounds it creates it's own but just want to be clear on that. I also noticed alot of default keybinds etc I'm guessing (dont want to assume lol) that they all can be made whatever you want correct?

---

Sorry, missed this question in all the posts.

GCP uses its own wtf file, which is stored by character. All the macros and bindings used by GCP are kept in its own separate memory space. The keyboard bindings can easily be changed (we have a keyboard display which makes it very easy).

Do you support multiple monitors for your "Maximizer/Picture in Picture" feature?

Can I run two monitors, on one computer with something like this set up:

Monitor 1:

111111
111111
111111
111111

Monitor 2:

222333
222333
444555
444555

Have the active region on monitor 1, and the other toons of my team on monitor 2. Then when I hit my switch key, have the now active stuff on monitor 1, and the previously active stuff switch that that position on monitor 2?
