New multibox tool; Ideal functions?

It's possible for the most part, one problem is that WoW actually uses the mouse position and disregards coordinate info you feed it, this is the only reason you need to relocate the mouse. Other games may not have this problem, I only play WoW.

Odd, IS doesn't suffer any issues with this.

Doesn't InnerSpace sandbox WoW? I wouldn't know for sure, as I've never used InnerSpace, but that was my belief. It's one thing to fool an application, it's another entirely to use strict Win32 APIs to acheive similar results.

I do plan on revisiting this with the next version of Mubox in the hopes of adding a new feature to the mix, and (hopefully) correcting a known-issue with the mouse "glitching" when I target the terrain to lay down AoEs. I assume the glitching is specific to the order of Mouse Events and will likely require significant reworking of the Mouse Handling code at the client-side. As far as the mouse positioning, once I had a "working" solution I caved in and left it as is.

It would be interesting to understand better how InnerSpace works, one reason I've never used InnerSpace is because historically Blizz has banned users who use InnerSpace under the auspices of it being considered a "Cheat Program".. Also, I'm not talking smack, mind you, just ask Lax. It's unfortunate but has happened. Personally I never wanted to take a chance and get burned, fact is there are botting bolt-ons for IS, which is probably why Blizz blindly earmarked all IS users as botters at one point.

Blizzard has not classified Inner Space as a cheat program for quite some time, if at all. We had these discussions about a year ago when I first started posting on dual-boxing.com, so if you really want you can probably find the discussion threads by looking at my oldest posts.

It is significant to note that the software they were concerned about with relation to Inner Space has not been available for over a year, and no Inner Space users have been banned in that time either. Inner Space has no, and needs no, protection from Warden because the right people at Blizzard know better than to classify Inner Space itself a cheat.

I'd like free as in open source free as opposed to free as in free beer (hotkeynet) as for free beer hotkeynet is already perfect - minus the phone home, etc... - it seems Mubox's is what I want ?

Mubox - can one svn sync that codepex thing and type "make" and obtain a working executable from your sources ? what dev env you need ? (VC++? something free ?)

Thanks for the kind words!

Starting with today's build (200):

-- HotkeyNet no longer calls home.

-- HotkeyNet no longer requires an Internet connection.

-- HotkeyNet no longer expires.

Why did you make those changes, Freddie?

Why did you make those changes, Freddie?

Originally I put those things in the program in case one day I began selling it. The idea was to prevent free old versions of the program from getting passed around and competing with future for-sale versions.

But HotkeyNet has been free for two years and its user numbers haven't grown high enough for me to want to bother charging for it. If it hasn't happened by now, I don't think it's ever going to happen.

The authorization scheme has always been a nuisance. It prevented people who lack an Internet connection from using it. It often prevented people from using the program in corporations. (HotkeyNet gets used in companies. It's not just a multiboxing program.) It scared some people off because they worried that the program contained malware.

If the call-home code isn't ever going to be of benefit to me, and if it annoys users, what's the point? There isn't any. So I removed it today.

Also, today's build was number 200. That's a nice round number, and I wanted to do something special to celebrate. Over the last two years there have been some special people (including you) who contributed tremendously to the program by testing and reporting bugs and making suggestions. The best way to celebrate is to do something tangible to show my appreciation for you folks, and this is what I thought of.
