Unofficial Mojo FAQ

[Moorea]

So people don't have to dig up pages and pages of threads I'll try to capture here some current FAQ (things that hit me - feel free to ask more Questions and suggest more Answers)

Meta Questions

• What is Mojo ?
  

A new open source multi boxing software built from the experience of HotKeyNet and HKN2 by Freddie - learn more on http://mojoware.org/

• Where can I get it ?
  

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

• Is it ready/usable ?

It's early alpha - feel free to try and give feedback and see it being built and change before your eyes, but it's not quite ready yet to replace HKN or other mature software. it's getting real close and some already use it - so very soon it will (like when broadcast exclusion is implemented) !

• Open source ? where can I get the source ?

http://code.google.com/p/mojoware/source/checkout
You can use Microsoft VC Ultimate 10 beta 2 to build it (Moorea does regularly - see "Bulding from source" thread)
For now nobody but Freddie can contribute to the project but you could always clone it if you feel development isn't going fast enough or in the direction you like (if you do you must respect the GPL3 license and redistribute any change you make) - but try to work with the author first !

• Is Mojo abandoned ?

No, there is just a small pause in the frantic pace of early initial releases; while the author recharges... stay tuned...


Usage Question

• I started it and then what ?

If you have more than 1 computer, start it on more than one; you can then set up KM (Key and mouse control; ie drive several computer from one) by connecting the monitors so they touch in the mouseover settings menu

• Does it work on multiple PCs ?

Yes ! It can discover other Mojo copies on the same flat network - later it will even work for more complex cases, in the meantime you can use the advanced connection options or ask for help if you have a problem connecting

• I can only afford 1 computer you insensitive clot - am I out of luck ?

Mojo works fine with a single computer too - start more than 1 wow and enjoy window key broadcasting

• How do you pause broadcasting without having to click anywhere ?

Open the "Predefined hotkeys" settings menu, click the "Set" button in "Toggle window broadcast"

• What's the "Toons" / "Teams" / "Computer broadcast" buttons for ? nothing happens when I click, nothing happens when I load wow... it's always empty ...

Several features are not implemented yet... patience my friend !

• What does "Computer broadcast" mean ?

When/if implemented it will be an hardware KVM emulation mode (as opposed to specific windows broadcast)

• Hmm cool it broadcasts everything... but ahem... how do I tell it to not broadcast WASD so I can move just the main toon ?

Do Not Pass not yet implemented - I suppose you could unbind WASD on the slaves but... wait for the next builds - vote for that feature :-)

• Does Mojo work with something else than WoW

It will, for now Freddie is trying to make WoW boxing as easy and simple out of the box as possible; but eventually all the features thought about for the general purpose HKN2 will be in mojo and more - mojo will be usable for a variety of purposes, including more than gaming.

• I loved the power of HotKeyNet (HKN) scripting - will Mojo be scriptable ?

Yes it will - borrowing from HKN2 ideas for a cleaner scripting language - stay tuned (as it's not in yet) - see next post for other upcoming features

• Where does mojo store settings ? I want to start fresh

del %localappdata%\mojo

• When I move my mouse to another window the keystrokes don't follow

Go to "Active window tracking" and turn it on

• Something isn't working...

Remember this is very early, so it's normal that many features are unfinished or have small issues. This being said, for now, please report it in the build thread matching the current build (or a new post). Soon (well... maybe...) there should be a issue tracker somewhere so people don't report redundant issues and can track progress of their particular issue but it's not here yet. In the meantime you can also eyeball my own list in post#3 below.

• I have another question not answered or I don't understand one of the answers...

Ask in this thread

• My Mojo isn't like your Mojo - This FAQ doesn't compute

Hmmm maybe you got a newer build and Moorea didn't get a chance to update the FAQ yet - bug him (private msg or email) - if all else fails - ask Fur or Svper to shard the thread ;-)

This FAQ is uptodate as of build 21
