I looked before I posted.... Could use some help...

I have multiple questions, which I read every thread on the first page trying to find answers to. I even used the search function!

Ok, here we go.

1. When I run 2 clients (2 separate folders named Box1 and Box2) in maximized window mode the client not in focus crashes to the desktop. If I make partial windows (I haven't setup the laptop to utilize both screens yet) both clients run just fine without crashes.

The plan is to eventually use the laptop and external monitor.

Any suggestions for the time being?

2. Is there a list of keys that you guys recommend to NOT pass through with Keyclone (bought it last night)? I disabled all leters/characters but left numbers and shift/ctrl/alt.

3. The macro from Steph:

/script AcceptGroup{}
/script AcceptQuest{}
/script AcceptTrade{}
/script RetrieveCorpse{}

When I create a macro in game on the slave box called "Accept" and enter the above code, run the macro, nothing happens. This macro was back in April. Did Blizzard remove this code from the LUA?

Sorry to be stupid about this, but what am I doing wrong?

4. When doing quests, is there an easy way to get the slave character to loot and once again follow the main? Switching back and forth to loot for quests is a pita.


Thanks in advance for your help... Having a blast so far. I remember doing this back in the days of Asheron's Call...

3. It's not supposed to do anything unless it's needed. Meaning it won't show a message BUT it will auto-accept quest sharing, trade-group requests and resurrect.
4. I haven't yet found anything simpler but switching on the other character. But I heard the group loot mode LootMaster (wrong?) is quite usefull when looting for a multi-boxer.

Can't help you about point 1 and 2, sorry.

3. Well thats the problem. It's NOT auto accepting like it should.

**I think I have found the issue on this (have to wait until I get home tonight to try it)... The posted script from Steph uses "{}". When I'm looking at /script commands on the WoW forums, they are using "()". Can anyone confirm this?

Also found Autogroup: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/432/ Might be a partial fix.

4. Lootmaster only works with non quest items. Once your leader completes the quest, the quest drops no longer show up. So I suppose the answer to that is that manual looting is required.

By auto-accepting quest I meant:

1. Your main shares it.
2. Your clone receives it and a window pops up.
3. You press the key, on your main, which starts the macro that accept quests.

It's not going to auto-accept on receiving, though I suppose a mod could do that.

Ok, that clarifies it some... I was under the impression I was setting a variable to auto accept. So I was running the macro when I logged in the slave character.

Having the main key pass to the slave the macro command makes sense. I'll try that later.

1 down, 3 to go.

You do need to use () for that macro, btw.

As far as keys not to pass, that's personal preference depends how you set up. For me, I don't pass num lock, and I don't pass number keys 1-6 or WASD. I pass everything else.

Reason being is I control 3 sets of controls with 1 keyboard. The warrior gets 1-6, priest gets 7-= and the dps get Y-]. Puts all my controls at my finger tips for fast reaction times. Num lock is obvious, I don't want everyone to autorun, just the main. And wasd so they don't move and break follow unless I use the arrow keys.

Change {} to ()?

Someone with mod powers needs to change it in the macro sticky then... Unless this is done intentionally to keep the script kiddies away.

Key passing...

I never thought about the numlock... But on that note, I should probably also not pass the arrow directional keys as well, since that would break the follow.

Basically, my thoughts are along these lines....

ONLY pass number keys, and letter keys with modifiers.

This way I can use the 'standard' key set with the master in focus. Then hit the modifier key and keystroke for when I want to pass something to the slave client.

Does this make sense to do it that way? Considering there's Shift/Alt/Ctrl, I could pretty easily operate up to 4 clients that way (assuming the PC is strong enough).

*PS: I'm doing Tauren Warrior/Druid for my 2 man combo.

You might need a ; after the ().

/script GMLevel70();

Be advised that the modifier keys (CTRL/ALT/SHIFT) are currently not working with KeyClone + WoW.

; indicates end of line in /script which allows you to do things such as:

/script Function1();Function2();Function3;

And have it work..

My mistake on my own setup. I actually changed it so that the only things I don't pass are num lock and 1-6. WASD is simply not bound as movement keys for my alts. This way I can do slash commands on all windows at once. If wasd is no pass you would type '/dnce' trying to dance.

However, I left the arrow keys bound to movement so that I can switch to another character if my main dies.

Ctrl key modifiers do work with keyclone, I've been using them for at least 2 weeks. Haven't played around with alt or shift yet on the newer releases.

Look for a mod called Automaton. It auto repairs at a vendor, auto accept summons, group invites, rez, etc. Even skips quest gossip and accepts the next quest. You have to configure it to do these things of course, and I use Deuce Commander to make that a snap.

There is another mod for auto quest acceptance once someone shares. I can't remember the name, will have to look it up when I get back from work.

Good to know ctrl works. I have tried alt but that didn't work, so I'll just change my macros for ctrl for now.

Here is a copy-paste of the macro I use, I added in AcceptResurrect() so I wouldn't have to do it manually.


/script AcceptResurrect();
/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();

AFAIK, there's no way to automate this (would probably considered botting if you could anyway). Once you move to 2 monitors though, it will be much less a PITA since you can just mouse over to the 2nd monitor and click on the corpse for your alt. As you can imagine, this is one of the main reasons multiboxers stay away from gathering quests...
