I currently use HotKeyNet for Mouse replication and Keyclone for the rest...I'll have to go back and try Keyclone for the mouse replication.

Or just use HKN for the rest.

Welcome, and thank you for stepping up with your software!

Hopefully you can get in touch with Ellay and you two can work out the details of getting your software on the forums, it looks to be a good contender for software multiboxing solutions.

I realize the this is KeyClone's web site

The only misconception is that this is his website. While it is not his website, www.solidice.com, this is where he does all of his business for Keyclone.

No harm no foul though.

Welcome to the forums!

Hi - Keyclone does have mouse replication for each screen, I found it the other day by accident and it works well - each mouse pointer goes to exactly the same spot on each screen so you could easily use blizzard.

Ehh.. how? :S

Please help me understand how this program works.

Based on the information on this page, it looks like the program is casting the spells for you, based on the rotation you pre-select? That looks a lot like automation to me.

GameCommanderPro does not cast the spells for you. It creates a series of GCP commands, each command casts one spell for each character (which ever spell starts on the black line). It then generates a set of control commands which allow you to cast current spell then move to the next, repeat the last spell (in case the cast fails), skip the next step, or start at the beginning again. Each of these steps is initiated by a keypress. The user decides which key to press. Think of it as a /castsequence for multiple characters with graphical editing.

Explain this too. This looks like scripting to me.

I assume you mean automations when you say scripting, as scripting is build into World of Warcraft, and is obviously not a problem (ie. macros, /script, mods via lua, etc.).

Let me say now that GameCommanderPro is completely legal and uses no automation.

GameCommanderPro only sends keystrokes to World of Warcraft. It only sends 1 keystroke to a window for each user keystroke. The fact that it looks like scripting is exactly the point we are making when we say that GameCommanderPro makes multi boxing more accessible. To take an example from your post,

Self Buffs
----------
KeyReset 6000
<<Vindicaer,Callidaer,Eversaer,Culexaer,Venenaer >>
if %KeyCount% = 1
Cast Buffs On Vindicaer-Target
<<Eversaer,Culexaer,Venenaer>>
macro /script CancelItemTempEnchantment(1)
endif

if %KeyCount% > 1
<<Vindicaer>>
Cast Righteous Fury on Vindicaer-Target
<<Eversaer, Culexaer, Venenaer>>
macro /use Lesser Firestone
macro /use 16 (16 is macro code for weapon hand one)
KeyReset
endif"

Although this is edited as one script its broken down into several macro and generates key bindings for each. The names in "<<>>" simply tell the key mapper which windows to send to. The "Cast" command generates a macro for WoW and a keystroke to invoke it. The "if" and "keyreset" statements simply provide a mechanism for casting a different spell on each press (see /castsequence on WoW website for details of how to achieve this).

Alright, It sounds like you know the difference here. Thanks for spending time to clarify.

If Fur had a stamp, I imagine it would be here.

Hmm this actually looks promising. How do you guys handle window switching or does it? The time line feature is pretty nice. Alot faster than trying to set it up in excel hehe.

Edit: Also how would you set up something like FTL with it?

Window switching is built into GameCommanderPro. Your leader is wherever you mouse is pointed, when we talk about leader we mean the biggest window. You can also store a zoomed position and size and have a hotkey (default "CTRL-Z") to zoom the active window.
Here's the follow command created by our setup wizard:
<<All>>
if %$LeaderChan% = 1
Follow Aarelan
endif
if %$LeaderChan% = 2
Follow Barelan
endif
if %$LeaderChan% = 3
Follow Carelan
endif
if %$LeaderChan% = 4
Follow Darelan
endif
if %$LeaderChan% = 5
Follow Earelan
endif

"%LeaderChan%" is the window containing the mouse, so as you can see, making macros dependent on the "active" character is really simple.
For example, in pvp, one tactic is to bust down a multiboxer's leader, but with GCP you could just point to the next window hit "CTRL-Z" and carry on fighting.

Honestly we had to google FTL because we mainly use GCP and we've never come across the FTL problem.

[rahven32]

So the active window is whatever the mouse is at? Now when you say zoom does that mean say I have my tank in the big window (leader) then I'd have to mouse over one of my smaller window's then hit CTRL-Z to make that window the big window? Or can I bind F8-F12 for each window?
