Dual boxing without using any program?

[crowdx]

Roflmao! He posted that an eternity ago, im sure he either got KC by now or passed away from old age!

btw i 3-4 boxed EQ and DAoC, alt tabbing, on a single PC for years, and did it well! I did use software on EQ to be able to open more than one window but had no key broadcasting.

Should I blame the poster that rezzed the thread ???

Under Windows XP you can easily accomplish multiboxing of two accounts without any additional software.

Set wow to 800x600 and play on a widescreen monitor (1680x1050 gives plenty of room).
Set Windows for "Focus Follows Mouse - XMouse" using a registry hack (or use Windows PowerToys)
Setup your two classes.

I played rogue/priest like this for quite some time, you mouse over the priests window and click to heal, mouse back to the rogue and spam hotkeys for dps, back and forth and back and forth.

Is it OPTIMAL? Not in any way... and I can say that I've tried doing this with three characters and while possible, far from easy.

just decided the best way to figure it out is to get KeyClone. Playing around with it now. Should have bought it yesterday while I trying to figure it out lol.

Pretty simple once you know how all of it works.

what is the macro that targets the focus's target to start attacks?

[zanthor]

Lots of options here...

/cast [target=focustarget]Spell

or

/assist focus

Many more I'm sure.

this is so much simpler than i thought it would be lol

Wasn't there also a widely-used Mac way of doing this that isn't so "hacky"? I'm not as familiar with macs, but I know there aren't many mac programs and mac users were using built-in mac functionality to multibox... Maybe that's WHY we don't see many mac programs, who knows.

If the concern about software is legality, make sure to check out our [url='http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/GM_Conversations']GM Conversations wiki page[/url] for some quotes and links.

More like emu-boxing. :P

This is the police: move away from the emu, put the boxing gloves down, and raise your hands above your head.
