Introducing Plexer for Mac

[Revoemag]

Set this up over the weekend. Overjoyed to be able to move to my mac rather than PC. Worked pretty well.

I actually ended up running 4 copies by using Spaces and it work surprising well. Having the same window open at the same resolution and in the same place on each screen is a big boon, and OSX is pretty quick at switching between the windows, faster than Keyclone was on my top end PC. You may want to consider supporting Spaces as you look to adding support for UI control of the windows.

Now onto my small feature request list

I'd love a blacklist override key like Keyclone has so that everything can be sent when needed (like "/dance", which does not work with wasd blacklisted). I agree with other comments that a bolder indicator is needed for showing when Plexer is transmitting or not.

On the same topic, it would be great if we could set up a hotkey for each application that can suspend input to that individual application. This is very hand for the new instances where for example a single character needs to stop dps against the boss as he has been marked. Hot keying the passing of input this way would seem an elegant way of handling this and may also prove handy at other times.

Keep up the great work.

Hi im new to mac and plexer, how do i play two world of warcraft games at once ?

Hi Owen, me thinks you shouldn't let the demo add a 4th application if demo is limited to 3, otherwise people will get nuts wondering why it doesn't work. Note that you are not stating demo limits elsewhere on your application or website.

Duplicate the world of warcraft folder (it is in Applications), then create 2 warcraft accounts, run both, start Plexer, press Add on Plexer, bring both WoW instances to the foreground, choose a toggle broadcasting key in Plexer, and press that key. That is mostly it.

Actually you can just dupilcate the WoW executable in the applications folder. Saves a lot of disk space and also saves you needing to dupilcate addons/settings etc.

Dunno if this Plexier or not, but wanted to find out if anyone experienced this issue.

Could be lag, could be memory issue, but every now and again, my slaves bug out and start running in whatever direction they are facing. Had this happen a couple of times in clutch situations, which kinda sucks but happens.

I'm running war, hunters and a resto shammy, so basically I park my slaves, run around and collect the mobs. Rinse, lather, repeat. So when this happens, its usually not good. Only way I've been able to find to make them stop running is to press a movement key in a direction, and toggle thru each of the windows, and then it stops. And it happens to every instance open, except the master window.

My machine is MacBook Pro 3.06GHz Intel Core 2, 4 GB memory.

Anyone else experience this?

Yes! I have this issue as well. Is Plexor being developed any more?

Characters continuing to run off tells me you aren't really following the norm for character movement, which is to use the /follow command for your slaves.

(sorry for the delay, haven't checked the forums in a while).

I use a /follow macro on my slaves to follow.

The problem shows up mostly when I want to stop the slaves from following my main. If I strafe or use a movement key to break the follow (I don't know of any other way to break follow), it appears the slaves sometimes receive the "key down" event but not "key up" event for the movement key.

I can then use a follow command to try and collect my slaves, but they keep running in circles due to what appears to me as the initial movement key still being depressed. I don't know for sure if this is what is happening, just my guess at it.

I use "shift" and "ctrl" modifiers a lot, and have black listed all the movement combinations with those mod keys. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the issues I am having or not.

Yes - I had the same issue in a previous post here.

I have also stated that it is different than having the characters just run off into the distance, a common bug with WoW itself.
