DAoC dual-boxing

[Freddie]

In an effort to make the program easier to understand, I added a new form of SendWin just for background DAOC windows. This makes the instructions pretty simple:

-- If your DAOC window is in the foreground, use SendWin.

-- If it's in the background, use SendWinBackgroundDAOC.

-- If SendWinBackgroundDAOC doesn't work quite right, adjust the timing with SetFocusDelay.

is that the same as sendwinMF?

There were 2 - 3 send commands, and sendwinmf was the only one that would work for me last night with 2 clients on one pc.

Im headed out to breakfast with the family, Ill test it when Im back, appreciate the hold key toggle tutorial.

My apologies also, I didnt realize this was in beta, for beta software its f'ing amazing

[Freddie]

Yeah it's the same as SendWinMF. I just added another name for it to try to make the usage self-explanatory. You can use either name.

Have a great breakfast.

Thanks for testing. If it doesn't work perfectly with the default timings on your PC, it would be amazingly great if you could fiddle around with the timings with SetFocusDelay and try to get it perfect and let me know how that works.

No need to apologize. If anything it was my faullt for not making it clear. The website barely said anything about a beta. I just added some stuff to the download page to make it more obvious.

strange... today... I noticed something a bit weird in my testing.

If I dont face my target, and I press my nuke key (1) while holding right mouse (for mouse look) my toon turns in perfect 90 degree increments.

So... I cant really use mouselook while using the program. After more testing, it seems like ANY key that goes to a client with the right mouse button held down makes the primary client turn 90 degrees in game.

Any idea why?

[Freddie]

Maybe i'm not understanding you too well but I can't duplicate this problem. Am I doing this right?

1) Hold down right button for mouse look.

2) On that same PC, press a hotkey that makes the two toons on that PC nuke.

3) I assume the hotkey sends to two toons on that PC with SendWinMF.

There was no problem when i did this.

P.S. Could you quote the hotkey definition here?

here is a video of what Im experiencing

In this video Im pressing 1 for nuking sending it to main client, and secondary client on same pc. While pressing 1 repeatedly Im also holding the right mouse button which I use for mouse look. Not sure why Im getting the funny twitch.

Another question. Is it possible to have a key sent repeatedly while pressed? I.E. if I were to hold 1 down, it would continuously send 1 to the other clients until Im done? Would make formation macros and such possible.

And my hotkey settings atm

<sendwin Main>

<sendwinmf Secondclient>

also wanted to note, I havent upgraded to the new version you released today, Ill get that shortly

Sorry for spamming so many questions...

[Freddie]

That video is one of the best bug reports I've ever seen. It looks like the foreground toon is getting interrupted movement commands from somewhere, but I don't know where.

Were you moving the mouse around or just holding the button down?

Do you have right button defined differently on the two clients or is it mouse look on both?

I copied your hotkey and tried it, but there's no problem here when I use it. I can look around with mouse look as much as I want while the toons cast, and everything is normal.

One thing that occurs to me is that I changed SendWinMF quite a few times in the last few builds. You should probably try this again with the current build (53) and see if it still happens.

Also, do you have any kind of software installed that does anything with the mouse?

>> Sorry for spamming so many questions...

That's okay, i asked so many in this post I'm probably ahead of you now.

Another question. Is it possible to have a key sent repeatedly while pressed? I.E. if I were to hold 1 down, it would continuously send 1 to the other clients until Im done? Would make formation macros and such possible.

Not yet but it's on the list of things to do.

[PyrostasisTDK]

hmm... no right mouse is just mouselook, and its mouselook on both clients. Let me upgrade the version of the program.

Also I dont have anything else running other than firefox and xfire.
