Multibox Tweaked!

[skarlot]

First off- this has been done from an old version of the code. I have asked for shockbeta's version but that might be some time.

Please note if you have problems with THIS version of MultiBox, please specify or post in this thread so I know, otherwise I won't answer MultiBox questions.

If you find the server freezes when you connect a client, add client hostnames to <windows>/system32/drivers/etc/hosts. Thanks to Otlecs - http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/v...ighlight=hosts

Download 1.05

The changes are->
Screen jumps eliminated.

Mouse 3 4 and 5 should work properly with all mice.

Client altered so server client behaves a bit different, it should connect with a different message ("connected as server machine client") and wont hide the mouse.

Should fix any broken keys like multimedia and right-shift.

Mouse movement code optimized.

1.05: Can use a single key for both mouse&keyboard broadcast toggling.

New changes 2/10/07: oh btw thats an Australian date where the day and month follow each other in a logical order!
Ive got it building in release now with all speed optimizations. It was all of 1 line of code to alter to make the release build work :roll:

I think this is noticably faster than the debug versions around. It doesn't chug nearly as bad when keyclone loads for me and mouse transitions (ie when WoW is taxed loading instances seem smoother).

The other fix, that I broke - is the mouse speed slider improved and it wont lock up now when 'Adjust Mouse' is off.

please ignore the fact port 55 appears in server dialog, it won't actually use this port tho, coding mistake. (fixed in 1.02)

Enjoy!
:P

I went and tried to see if I could use Multibox in place of Synergy because the whole Scroll Lock issue with it and I have to say, Multibox was great but... when I put multibox on a system that has two monitors attached, it locks up. Does your version support multiple monitors?

[skarlot]

you might find horizontal or vertical span modes fix that
then theres wow maximizer to position WoW at least

bumped for more improvement

oh btw thats an Australian date where the day and month follow each other in a logical order!

How can you say that is logical? Do you say "2nd of October" all the time? Everyone I know always says "October 2nd", therefore 10/2/07 is more logical.

If you go by order of importance, it would be 07/10/02 (071002), because it sorts correctly as the number increases each day. (071002,071003,071004,etc) When we write computer programs that place a date into a string for sorting purposes (log files, database), we use that order. (or even YYMMDDHHMMSS.)

I'm with the Aussies on this!

today is in fact the 2nd of October... I know no-one (except my dad and he is Canadian!) who says October 2nd!!

BTW: take a look at the regional options on your PC and you will see month first is a minority view of data layout :P

Military date format owns all

No way to foul that up unless you are dyslexic.

can I request a couple of things, one I feel is a bug report. but thats just my opinion

1st the right shift key on my keyboard stops functioning once the server software is started up. Keyboard is a USB Zboard

2nd when broadcasting keys can I turn off the ones I do not want broadcasted whilst still broadcasting other keypresses?
