Multiboxing Wiki - My 5 (Now 10!) Boxing WoW Writeup

One could buy sheets of thinnish hard plastic, cut them to size and punch a hole in them then ziptie them on, THEN use a sharpie

[Keiji505]

I bought Belkin brand velcro...my cables are rainbow patterened cause the strips all come in different colors . Not cool.

[Xzin]

I would have needed more colors. I did bundle with black velcro and corrugated tubing though.

hi piggy,

sorry about the slow response.

unit187 put an extensive guide for AHK together here:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=807

if you are unsure of scripting and would rather just get up and running, there is keyclone here:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=883

keyclone is easier to set up and has a few tricks AHK doesn't have. on the other hand, keyclone has a one-time $10 price tag (all updates free).

i might be biased as i wrote it.. and continue to update it. my goal has been to get people up and multi-boxing in minimal time... reducing the hardware cost along the way. you should be able to find plenty of references to keyclone using 'search' here.

if you have any questions, just spend me a PM.

Does keyclone work with EQ2?

[keyclone]

i have never used EQ2 but... i understand that keyclone does not work immediately with EQ2... i have been told that InnerSpace by LavishSoft is required.

again, this is what i have been told... i have not verified it (if anyone has verified this approach... please post your results)

as an FYI... InnerSpace is one of those applications that would most likely get you busted (whatever that means for the game you are playing)... i believe its due to the stealth keyboard injection they make possible... and the macroing/botting that results. any such behavior just gets us multi-boxers in trouble... so its best to stay away

just giving you a heads up

[atgben]

Heh heh, wow! Quick responce..

I got keyclone for when I was dual boxing in wow where it was great, but recently switched to EQ2 to try out legally selling characters and what not..

A shame it doesn't work there. =(

Thanks for the reply though!

I just started 5 boxing and i have read almost every post on this website but no where have i seen instruction on EXACTLY how to set your characters into perfect formation so that the vetra multicaster works effectively (where the characters stay together instead of splitting off) Can you please tell me exactly how this is done. I dont have programmable x keys so is there anyway with in-game macros or any other way that i can get in these fancy formations and keep my characters together well?

[Djarid]

I understand that this can't be done... there will always be inconsistencies between your machines, the effect of which will magnify over time.

the way to do it is to have a "main" which the "clones" follow... there are various methods of switching mains on the fly but I think focus is the preferred method (a simple search on assist and focus should produce lots of results)
