Introducing Plexer for Mac

[MageMe]

Is there a difference between the trial and paid versions? I certainly will buy this regardless. Clonekeys, while it did serve me ok, has too many problems with missed keystrokes. I am looking forward to this very much

The trial version expires after 15 days, the full version doesn't. That's about it.

Thanks adding enough letters...

Hello everyone

I'm totally new to Multi-boxing. Just today I've collected my 3 accounts, and am planning on lvling to DK's in multibox mode, so that they can later join my existing 80 DK main.

I've read a lot of beginners stuff on this site, but sadly most of the wiki links doesn't seem to work for me. That is why I am resorting to this topic, since I am working on a Mac Pro (quad core, GTX285).

So! I have installed Plexer and updated it. I have also turned on this:



So far so good I guess

After that, I started to link 2 different configurations to my WoW 1 and WoW 2.



I also did the same with WoW 2:



I guess thats all good.

But now my trouble begins to start. I guess that's because of my lack of understanding this program (no offence intended to the creator, who obviously did a great job, the problem lies with my inability to understand things like this )

I cannot understand how the "Whitelist" and "Blacklist" seems to work. I could not find a guide or text about this on the forum, so ill ask it here .
What I think the White and Blacklist seem to do is: The blacklist makes sure which keys the program needs to ignore for the rest of the slaves. These are only inteded for the master (like typing in guild chat).

And I think with the whitelist you can set keys to WoW that covers the slave's and the master.

Again, I am not sure about this, this is me speculating.

Ofcourse I have tried to test this out with my 2 accounts running, but it does not seem to work. I made sure when doing this to turn Broadcasting on.

Well, im pretty sure I am thinking the wrong way about this whole program. So my question basicly is, how does this program work? And mainly about how to connect the different wow accounts together so that they, my slaves, for example, strafe left while I am pushing that keybiding or macro on my Master.

Also I would like to see some examples you guys used in your Whitelist or Blacklist, I think that could get me started greatly.

I think if I get that to work, that ill be able to figure out the rest by just reading a lot of posts here with great addons and macro's and the like

I hope I've been clear in my question and did not ask the "noob" question.

Really would like to get this to work before the trial ends

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I've played some more with the Whitelist and Blacklist, and it seems that when I select and add keystrokes to a whitelist, it will also be automaticly on the Blacklist. Also, when I create a key on a blacklist, go to whitelist, and remove it from there, it will also be removed from the blacklist.
If my above reasoning was correct, then a "bug" like this might make it logical that I cant broadcast between WoW chars. Because if something is on the white and blacklist, it would just let it do nothing I asume.

A configuration is for a group of applications. So you need to add all three instances of WoW that you want to play in the Applications list (i.e. WoW 1, WoW 2, and WoW 3).

Keys will be broadcast to ONLY the applications in the list. Basically, you are using the configurations incorrectly. It's more for the setup of you have a two-team group that you want to use, so you make "My Two's Group". And then you have a five-team group and you make a config "My Five's Group".

Whitelist sends ONLY those keys to the other instances of the application.
Blackist sends all keys EXCEPT the keys listed to the other apps.

Note that 'k' and 'K' ARE different keys.

Hi, im running on a MacBook Pro and as a mac user yourself you'll know that all the F keys are used, so my question is, can i set the toggle broadcasting key to a different key other that the F keys?
Thanks

There's no supported way in the UI to do this, though you can try to manually set the com.kiadsoftware.plexer.ToggleBroadcastingKeyCode defaults setting to the keycode of your choice.

Will plexer support clickthroughs? I dualbox in windows using Octopus, and a huge feature is being able to assign (for instance) shift click to go through to the background copy of WoW.

[owensd]

I don't have any plans currently to implement that feature.

Just got back into Mboxing on my mac and was happy to find Plexer. Please enjoy my $25.

A few comments and feature requests. (sorry if these have been discussed previously)

1. Ability to add escape key to whitelist/blacklist keys
2. Growl notifications when broadcasting is enabled and disabled.
3. Button that would launch all programs currently under the plexer profile selected.

A much more beefy request is something that handled window resizing and layout. I'm not sure if the toold exist in the mac dev environment but this is one feature I'm wishing I had available in to me under mac tools.

Thanks for making this. It works great and I really hope you continue to develop it.
