Key Clone - An AutoHotKey AND Multibox style program

[keyclone]

ctrl key is still only recognized in the main window.. other clients don't detect it

other clients on the same machine or on other machines? (ctrl key should be recognized on the same machine)

sorry should have been clearer.. other clients running on same pc that are minimized. I've tried having two windows to see if the background one picks up the ctrl-q key press but only the main one shows it pressed.

After spending hours on AHK and still not getting anywhere, I broke down and bought Keyclone since it was on $10.

So far so good.

It is doing what I wanted AHK to do. Just simply allow me to play 2 games of WoW simultaneously and I haven't had to do squat to get it to work. So far...

Now, the very basics are working automatically but something I need is the ability to use mouse-look for camera view and directional movement. I hate looking like a bot and using the keyboard to turn. Plus it is very unfunctional if I decided to bring my 2 toons into the PvP world.

Now I see the feature for "pass mouse clicks" but doesn't seem to have the desired impact I want. Basically I am trying to get my 2 toons to be directly on top of one another and to move exactly the same at the same time. Now I understand there are some delay issues but my problem is that my guys are running off in 2 different directions.

Also...for $10 you would think you would have a support forum on your own website.

i use a wow /follow macro and when i move, i hit that and they follow me.
i also use the left+right mouse click-hold in wow to steer/drive. combined with the /follow, it works pretty well.

my next trick was to bind certain keys to various movements. i was triple boxing last night and one of the first things i normally do is bind a key to use to spread the clones out, and pull them back in. i used F12 to spread out and F11 to pull them in.

so.. i would go to the left clone, key bindings, and set strafe left secondary key to F12. on the right clone, i would set F12 for the strafe right. this would spread them out. (push and hold to watch them run). i did the same, but in reverse, for pulling them in using F11. the effect was like a -/+ combination.

so.. in using it.. i would hit follow... double mouse button drive to the enemy, hit F12 briefly, then a back arrow (puts my main next to the others)... click on target, hit my /assist key, then fire. dead target.

i also do pass the turn left/right keys so when i need to, i just spin them and keep firing. it does require you to un-learn using keys to steer, as they would fall off follow

fyi... 3 on one laptop at the same time. 1G system memory, 1.5GHz cpu w/ 64M grfx mem.. pretty low end these days. only problem was the crappy local bandwidth, but that's a different problem

i was also thinking it'd be nice to add a trigger for mouse up... so when i click, it would automatically push a key for me... in this case, the key associated with /assist. that would be nice... hmmm

Nice...ok...now I see some things to do. Your experince with your program helps.

Actually I think this last post of your is more informative than all the others of yours and I have read pretty much everything.

I know I can run a lot of games but since I only have 3 accounts I have never tried more than 3 on this 1 machine.

The passing of ALT/CTRL/SHIFT keys doe not seem to be working correctly. I tested this out on 2 clients running on 1 machine - I have = key set up as Life Tap and ALT-= setup as Demon Skin. When I press ALT-= it seems to try and activate BOTH hotkeys on my non-primary machine, which fires off Life Tap only. And it makes the generic Windows "you can't do that" sound for some reason (I have sound off on both clients).


Tried replacing ALT with SHIFT and CTRL but still does the same behavior.

Hey I 'upgraded' to keyclone 1.4a and it doesn't work now, I was using 1.3 something.

Keystrokes are being transmit ok among one of my machines (using 3 instances of wow) but are not being transmit across the network to the other machine (two instances)

Does anyone know where I can get a link to the old version? I really wish the author had links to them on his page. Also sad he hasn't got shift\ctrl working between machines yet.

[l0de]

update, found an old version on a desktop, installing. If anyone else has the same problem I can send you the 1.3 version

[Braggon]

Hey IOde. same problem here. i cant transmit between pc's. I like the 1.3 myself. Thanks

After hours of trying, I still haven't found a way to get the extended keys to work =/ I've tried in both 1.3 and 1.4.

Any tips or suggestions, because I might very well be a complete moron, doing something wrong.
