Need help controlling a second pc

[topjimmy]

Greetings all,

I've been lurking on this board as a guest for awhile, I thought I might find some help.

I play a game that uses GameGuard. I want to use a second PC located in another room, to run a second character. The problem I am having is I can't find a software that will emulate a mouse and keyboard, that gameguard does not block. I have tried various VNC clients, those are blocked so that the game can not be controlled by the mouse or keyboard. I have tried kavoom, I have no idea if it passed any commands or not since the game client froze up before I could try, I'm guessing their video driver is crap. Remote desktop can't support 3d rendering. I'm looking into trying Octopus. The second char on the other pc is only a buff slave, though I suppose he could attack and loot too. What do you all think is my best option?

Thanks for any advice
JimC

I'm not familiar with GameGuard, or what game you are referring to, but it sounds like you are trying to get around limitations that the game is trying to enforce. If so, I don't feel inclined to help you. The purpose of these forums is to play "legitimately", and not try to skirt around limitations that are intentionally put into place by the developers.

I hope I'm just incorrectly reading what you are asking for here.

The Game is Rappelz, by Gpotato. There is nothing in the TOS against dual boxing, it's just I don't want to have to have the second PC in my office. It is a file server in my basement. If I had it setting next to me with a mouse and keyboard attached it is fine, I just don't have the room. All I want to be able to do is to use that PC for my second account, and control it remotly. I do not know why the anti-cheat sofware devs decided a VNC service should be blocked. I have also tried using a virtual machine instance and it works but is too laggy.

Thanks

I think your best bet for a KM program that can evade GameGuard is one that injects events from a device driver. I've never used Octopus but according to its documentation, it has an option to install a mouse driver. That option may do the trick, at least for mouse input.

[topjimmy]

I looked at your hotkey program. It may work for some things but for the most part the game is click based, though It does have a hotbar for actions like casting and looting movement is done by mouse.

Thanks

In case my earlier post wasn't clear, I was suggesting that you try Octopus with its optional driver, not my program. I doubt that my program will get past GameGuard.

GameGuard is a 3rd party software that checks for bots and hacks to keep people from things like vacuuming mobs, invincibility, flying when they're not supposed to, etc. it sometimes breaks software to the point where you cannot use controllers/gamepads with the game. i've been in games where a guy went off the terrain and vacuumed all the mobs in a zone to him in order to gain exp and loot. gameguard is an attempt to thwart this. however, it seldom seems to work. anyway, even though you're not doing any of the above, but instead, only dual boxing, you might get banned for trying to circumvent gameguard no matter your reason. good luck on this.

Well I suppose that Octopus would work if the basement PC that I am trying to control was sitting next to me with a monitor plugged into it. It is however two floors down. I need to be able to have a remote monitor open in a window on the main pc. I installed Octopus, and set it up. However I have know idea whether the mouse is moving to the second PC since I can't see it.

I need a software that will allow me to have the video from the second PC sent to a window on my main PC. Just like VNC (I assume you all know what that is)

I don't think I'm going to have much luck.

Any more ideas?

You may be able to do this with Windows Media Encoder. General info:

You'll still have the problem of injecting mouse events through GameGuard.
