Tri-boxing for a week now. Two problems.
Hey all! I've got to admit this is one hell of an awesome community! I
never thought I'd find so much helpful info in one location! :D
I've been tri-boxing shaman for about a wek now and I've only leveled
them to 12 because I've been playing around with macros and scripts
trying to get past some issues.
1) The first issue is regarding my clones ability to follow at a decent
pace. Whenever I have the clones window up it runs at the correct
speed. As soon as it is minimized it begins to fall behind and
eventually stop following. Is there a program that allows all 3 screens
to remain maximized? How about a program that would keep my clones
window in PIP mode? If not, anyone have any ideas?
2) I've looked around and I've noticed that a lot of people have the
obvious problem of accepting/turning in quests and whatnot on their
clones. I've got a mod that auto accepts everything but the problem is
getting my toons to right-click on the NPC i'm trying to interact with.
I used autoscriptwriter to record the various mouse-button clicks and
have been successful in creating a hotkey to activate those clicks.
However, unlike my 1-9, 0, -, = hotkeys, it wont get a response from my
clones. I also undersatdn that in order for this to work all my toons
have to be in first-person which is not much of a problem because I can
move them around a bit each time before hitting my hotkey so as to get
all 3 to accept. Any suggestions?
That's pretty much it! With issue#1 out of the way I will be able to
progress much faster and the answers to issue #2 will also be utilized
for looting corpses so that I can go ahead with collection quests.
Thanks to everybody in advance! :D

Welcome, and thank you for reading a little before asking questions.

You have to keep the windows non-minimized or windows will drop their priorities waaay down. If you want to do this anyway (I'd just recommend backgrounding them), I *think* you can get what you want by right clicking on the task in the task manager and forcing a priority there. Or at least that's what I read once by somebody attempting to do the same thing (no personal experience). :)

Not sure about scripting this, but I can tell you that if you have and auto-accept mod (so you just get the quest with main and share it - which is then auto-accepted), the turn in part isn't too bad if you *don't* have your windows minimized. I've gotten pretty used to just mousing over and right clicking on the quest guy once in a while.

You can actually get away without doing collection quests, if you want - there are enough non-collection quests to level. If you want to do them for whatever reason, and figure out a way to get a macro-driven mechanism in place (that doesn't use third party software, at least for me), then please do share. :)
