Run two WOWs on different computer

Good morning, im new with multiboxing, never tried it because its hard for me to open 2 WOWs on the same computer. now i figured thats its possible to launch two wows on different computers doing the same thing as if it was on one computer.

im searching for configuration to launch wow1 on one computer and wow 2 on another computer . i need simply config tried alot, of settings no one is working fine.... i have connected my computer with IP adress already, have set the server and client.

Any one can help ? or have any link to explain the whole process ?

You can open many WoW's on the same computer if your computer is specs appropriately, which is not excessive for 2 instances.

However to answer your query, it depends on what you are using to control your two WoWs. I assume you are using some kind of software/hardware to do so, and what you are using will determine what actions you need to take in order to load your two WoWs.

im such a noob... iam using hotkeynet. help

The instructions for HotKeyNet are available on the HKN website http://www.hotkeynet.com/p/doc1.html
You can keep going Next at the bottom of each page to go through the manual.

But, essentially, once you have HKN installed with the server/client configured, the script file is pretty much the same regardless of whether you use one computer or multiple. The only difference, is when multiple computers are available is you can add an extra filtering element in your config to send commands to a specific computer.

There are plenty of samples and instructions in the manual.

This what iam asking for broh? i have already did the script from the website, its not working ... WoW Script for Two on Two. Should i copy script on both computers right ? just change this :<Run "c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe">

And then scroll lock on on both computer or what ? ( i already have done this)

here is my script on both computers, with where the game in situated for the second computer changed ofc :

Code:

The instructions on the HKN website say you don't need the script on both computers, although you can load one on each computer, and this might help when it comes to subroutines. You only need a script on the computer if you happen to be trying to control stuff directly from that computers input. The issue with multiple computer scripts will be that some things are reversed, such as who is the second pc, and who is not, so you'll have to keep track of that and make adjustments as necessary.

It would also help if your game was installed to the same location, otherwise you should adjust your script to have different launch commands for each PC depending on the installation path. I can't seen an easy way to make this decision so you can either duplicate the <COMMAND Launch> with the appropriate paths, or you have individual scripts for each computer and call the launch on the second PC as a subroutine, or finally, you could load it yourself on each computer, and in your script, give each WoW a different name.

You also need to update the script for little details like IP_ADDRESS_2 . You could potentially use a variable here, but you still need to set the value somewhere.

Once you load the script, hit Scroll Lock to turn on your hotkeys, then you should be pressing ALT+CTRL+L to load WoW, as per this element.

Guides are normally written and maintained by members of the community, and multi-computer setups are becoming increasingly rare now that hardware is more than powerful enough to run multiple copies of the game on a single machine. With that said, I also find it odd that your computer can't handle running two copies of the game on a single machine, but then again, you haven't stated what hardware you're trying to use.

So, once you figure everything out, feel free to write a guide for others to use, since people tend to show up, get their information, and depart, which then leaves others, like yourself, wondering how something works.

I said that iam using Hotkeynet ;)

That is your software that you are running, we are curious as to the hardware (Laptop/desktop/potato) that you are using.
