AutoHotKey

[wolviex]

Yes since there is only two wow clients running, it knows if the first one it selects is not the main it automatically assumes the other window is the Main and restores both and continues on. So it's important you choose the correct one when it asks you which if it selects the clone first and you answer no, you have. i hope that helps.

thanks for all ur effort in this, the script is crazy! How do i use the alt, shift, to set hotkeys? can i set like the #1 to to have more than one of a different macro?

I mean how do i use ur Shift/conrtol part of ur script?

I haven't dual or triple boxed since my EQ days, and am looking to get back into it with WoW. I can control 2 characters on my system decently for slow PVE, but I would like to be able to move and react on both a lot faster and at the same time.

Does anyone have or have an idea of how to write a script that will mirror movement keys to the 2nd WoW instance? Basically, when character one moves or casts, I want character 2 to move and cast using the same commands and attacking the same target. It looks like mouse movement would be a lot more complex to script, and I think I would be fine if I could use:

w,a,s,d for movement, 1,2,3,4,5 for casting, and maybe a few buttons to refresh assist, follow, drink, etc.

I've played with a couple of scripts so far, but I can't seem to get anything working that moves both characters. So far I have been able to get number keys to pass to both, but that is it. Sorry I am such a noob at this! Thanks for your help.

I would like to do some PVP eventually, I do have another less powerful PC I can get running if I need to run them on separate boxes later on down the road.

Is the script that you made only for 2 WoWs or would i have to modify it to support 3 copies of wow on 1 machine?
like in here--

;Grab unique window ID's
WinGet, wowid, List, World of Warcraft

; Minimize All WOW windows
WinMinimize, ahk_id %wowid1%
WinMinimize, ahk_id %wowid2%

;Determine Main and Clone Windows
WinActivate, ahk_id %wowid1%

MsgBox, 4,, Is this your WOW Main window? (press Yes or No)
IfMsgBox Yes
idMain = %wowid1%
else
idMain = %wowid2%

If idMain = %wowid1%
{
idClone = %wowid2%
} else {
idClone = %wowid1%

Anywho you guyz are life savers ive been playing 2 copies switching my mouse and actually inputting all the keystrokes myself..I feel saved
I kinda dont know what Im doin and Kinda do I smoke to much..

I'll put an updated version of the 3 account one as well, it'll need to do one more level of checking to determine the master and slave windows. I'll post it tomorrow.

i'm actually working on a fully featured script that will allow you to assign your own hotkeys and will allow profile saving. So the script will create and use a ini file to store all your saved custom hotkeys. No ETA on this update though, there is going to be quite a bit of coding that needs to be done. It'll be alot more complicated then Main Press Key 1 and spams it to Clone 2 & 3 lol.

hm I've got a problem. When I press "1", "2" etc. buttons I got delay for like 0.3 sec between my 3 clients. Should it work like that?
And 2nd problem - my hotkeys like "E" and "F" work in very strange way. On my main client I have to press "E" like 10-15 times to make spell actually cast even on main client. Same crap on other 2. Any way to fix that? :P

*waiting for Sorn's script, maybe it will work better :P*

I use simple script like that:

[code:1]

WinGet, wowid, List, World of Warcraft

0::
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
ControlSend,, 0, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, 0, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, 0, ahk_id %wowid3%
Return

1::
KeyWait, 1, D
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
ControlSend,, 1, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, 1, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, 1, ahk_id %wowid3%
Return


blablabla...

9::
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
KeyWait, 9, D
ControlSend,, 9, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, 9, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, 9, ahk_id %wowid3%
Return

F::
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
ControlSend,, F, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, F, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, F, ahk_id %wowid3%
Return [/code:1]

Sweet, thank you guyz very much

[Sorn]

I have, had that happened to me as well, I believed it is due to system bottlenecks, so this is what I did.

One thing you can try to speed up performance a bit, it

A>) Turn all gfx down to minimal setting on the clones
B>) Turn all sounds off on Clones.

The main should be ok to have you're normal play settings running, Since you're not really playing the clones, well in a sense of staring at their screens all day, there is no need for the extra resources to be used to make it look it's best nor do they require any sound.

Try that and let me know how that works out for you.


Wolviex:
I built the script around my UI mods, but it should work for any keys assigned to those keys, Shift, Alt, Control modifiers included. If it helps I use Bongos for my hotbars, It allows up to 120 hotbars, but i no where nearly use that, 10 is fine for me at least for now. Bongos allows you to assign hotkeys to any slot on your hotbars, which is cool so your hotbar could look like this.

1 3 2 4 8 7 5 6 9 = - 0

But that is an example, mine actually look like this.

Misc bar5
Misc bar4
Misc bar3
Misc bar2
Misc bar1
Cntrl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
Shift 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =

Here is a sneak preview of the rough design of what the main interface is going to look like. Should be easy to setup/modify each character that you will be using as clones.

Enjoy, any input is greatly appreciated on what features you'd like to see, if it's keys then if you notice the Select Hotkey box it will allow you to select your own hotkey for the spell activatation, and the way it will handle spells it will not need to know what hotbar location that spell is located at. If you've noticed i've slowed down posting and updating the older scripts I've posted it's because of this, this should totally replace the scripts i've written in the past, and as you can see it will be flexible for multiple copies of wow setups not just 2 or 3.

[unit187]

Sorn, I will try it later, atm setting up 2nd monitor

[Sorn]

A little more screenies for you of the interface, I ditch the other one, thought through it a little more and have even more intuitive design, that will allow for easier, and faster mapping of spells & abilities.



As you can see it's coming right along, and i'm hard at work still. If I could recruit some assistance from those of you waiting on this script, i need a list of the Point and Target cursor then click spells / abilities for each class. (IE. Hunter's Eagle Eyes) it would certainly help speed up the completion.

I got some great surprises in store for you all on how to manage you're clone windows as well.
