Micah,

I have tried your MultiBox as part of myself carefully getting into the multiboxing and testing the potential setups. I must say that I was delighted to find it work controlling my three test characters as intended, in a way that was very promising indeed, with some difficulties regarding the mouse.

Thank you for that!

My testing setup was two notebooks and one desktop with two displays. Notebook1 (1280x800), Notebook2 (1024x800), Desktop (1280x1024, 1280x1024) being the displays from left to right. I put Notebook1, Notebook2 and the Desktop next to each other from left to right in the drop down boxes in the MultiBox server window.

  • I could move the mouse over to Notebook2 and use it normally. Thanks to your modifications, without any of the sickness inducing spinning experienced with Synergy. I could not, no matter what I did with the mouse, move it to Notebook1 on the far left.
  • Getting the mouse from Notebook2 back to the desktop's display was a very frustrating ordeal at numerous times while it worked flawlessly at other times. I dont know more details about this one yet, but when I do I will supply them.

All in all, I hope to be able to use MultiBox instead of a cumbersome hardware input devices solution. Ideal for me would be having the mouse working for simple clicks - to taget a warlock AoE for example - or if that does not work out to have an option to disable mouse broadcasting and mouse movement to the other computers.
