Mojo build 2 is ready to test ** Testing Closed **

[Freddie]

Mojo build 2 is up.

This build can multibox a little bit.

Instructions:

Start Mojo on every PC. It will update itself automatically. If you need to download it for the first time go here:

http://www.mojoware.org/p/download.html

Have some WoWs going. (You can start them before or after Mojo, it makes no difference.) Press keys normally in any WoW window. All your other WoWs should receive the keystrokes too.

There's no configuration. It's all automatic.

If you are working with some other kind of window (not WoW) Mojo will stop broadcasting automatically from that PC.

All PCs should work the same way. It doesn't matter which keyboard you use.

I'm sure you'll notice plenty of things wrong so I won't bother mentioning specific items to test.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. It's extremely helpful to me.

In your post you mention that Mojo works across multiple computers to send the key strokes, does it also work on a single computer with multiple instances of the program?

[Freddie]

Yes. It works fine with multiple WoWs on one computer. It should work with any number of computers with any number of WoWs on each one.

Doesn't do anything if it can't find any WoWs?

[Freddie]

If there are no WoWs anywhere? Then it does nothing.

WoW has to be in the foreground on the local machine (the one you're typing on) for the program to broadcast.

Downloaded for the first time, installed perfectly.

Started up two copies of WoW after starting Mojo. Mojo picked up the copies before I realised which caused me some issues logging in until I figured it out.

Once in game keys were broadcasted perfectly, no issues with any delays.

Also, as you said, as soon as I jumped onto another program (to type this) it stopped broadcasting to the WoW clients.

Have not had any issues so far, other than the fact it's hard to control two characters at the same time using just the same key presses (by that I mean movement), but that's for the future, so no worries there..

Looks like with all the bells and whistles this will be a great program. Keep up the good work.

I'll keep playing around, add some more WoW clients in to mix it up.

Cheers, Ioho.

edit: This was for one computer only. Also, adding a third client in worked fine, just made things a bit more complicated (playing, not the program)

[Freddie]

Thanks Ioho! You're the first person who ever used this program for multiboxing and sent feedback about it, and the report is so encouraging, I take it as a good omen!

When a program is in this early baby stage, I feel like I'm in an airplane lifting off from the runway. The first public builds are a little scary just like a takeoff. But based on your comments, this will be a very good trip!

Over the next year or two I'll be adding tons of features to this program. But right now, this week, I'd like to add things that will make the program useful as quickly as possible. (Because I want to get a lot of testers.)

What features do you think I could add immediately to make it useful not just for testing, but for really playing?

[ioho]

I think the one thing that would help ( not sure if it's possible ) would be have certain keys only press on the active window, the movements keys. I found everything else was fine except movement. Trying to make 2+ characters move exactly the same so they don't run out in all directions. Yes, I know, I could just unbind the keybinds, but it would be nice to be able to use the same keybinds for movement no matter what client was active at the time.

Maybe also a shut up feature (pause all broadcasting). Mostly because logging in/chatting is is a bit complicated when it's broadcasting everything.

Good job so far though mate, keep it up.

I don't think it runs at all. Mojo 1 showed the dialog and seemed to work ok. I ran Mojo 1 again and updated it. Now when I run Mojo it comes up with the Verifying Application Requirements dialog and then it disappears. Is there supposed to be a visible dialog? Taskbar icon? Tray icon?

I am not running any WoWs when running Mojo, don't have WoW installed on this machine.

The pause button is easy, I'll add that tomorrow. Lists of do-pass and don't-pass keys are more complicated because I want to design a really nice easy screen for that and it might take a while. I'll start working on it tomorrow.
