Wowwiki is good, and my own questions

[icegreenhemp]

Using WoWwiki you can find a nice set of Auto macro's that can be used in game

casting renew, lesser heal, fortitude buffs, targeting your party member for heals then it can target his target etc.... and it seems to have a basic bunch for other clases. I am using 2 accounts on one pc, warrior and priest. Soo handy to have a healer for a meat bag. All of the macros are usable from the create macro within wow. Its a good start for getting used to controlling 2 accounts. bouncing between the 2 800x600 windows takes a bit of getting used to.

For the future i'm looking to getting this "keyclone" i seem to see so much good news about.

My system is the following.

Intel core 2 duo, 2.66 ghz 4mb, 2 gig corsair 800 ram, 1.5 terabyte hd space (caviar 16mb cache 7200 rpm sata 2), Asus p5ke motherboard, nvidia 8800gt galaxy 512mb pcie, thermalrite ultra 120v cpu cooler, and a monster case being the cooler master cosmos, and a 22" samsung widescreen 226bfw (i think thats the model since i'm at work i dont know off hand heh). oh yes microsoft ergo 4000 keyboard and the sidewinder gaming mouse

I am looking to get a 2nd monitor, these samsungs support a max res of 1680x1050, and my vid card has the 2 lcd plugs for monitors on it. I see that the "extend desktop thing" is required to get the 2 games to go full screen, but i dont understand this maximizer everyone speaks of. Is this custom programming i do in a wow file? or a program i use? At some point i'll probly go to 3 wow accounts when i get my 2nd gaming rig running. but thats another time...

It seems also from what i've read key clone will allow me to assign dual keystrokes to 2 different accounts (ie i want to have 2 mages running around), but for say the warrior and priest combo does it allow seamless screen changing or would it have my priest doing who knows what unless i carefully laid out the warrior attacks and the priests "instant" spells, so that they would overlap seamlessly is my line of thought for what would work..?

I'm not looking for the autobot to do everything, I like having the control of the 2nd toon, makes the game much more fun. The ultimate long term goal is to get 5 accounts and go nuts. But 2 accounts one pc is good enough, but i want to get this streamlined and rocking.

The last thing that is coming is the Custom WoW interface, I see that awesome one in many of the screenshots, and for the life of me during this post i can't remember, is that the best...pardon, most user friendly GUI,

Well i've rambled enough and its time to read the forums some more, any feedbacko and tips or such is appreciated,

Oh yes one last thing, besides having cool similar names, why ?? heh mine are named Ogsmu and Vereyezon a level 16 warrior and 14 priest. anyways cheers to all and thanks in advance.

The maximizer you hear of:
WoW Maximizer is a program that strips title/bars from the window and defines where you want to run your WoW windows. It does 2 main things:
- Maximizes the application (removed the title bar & borders).
- Defines where to render this WoW application on your display.

For example, I use a 1680x1050 LCD for 4 WoW applications, so I have set up Maximizer with each WoW application to create 4 840x525 windows - one for each corner of the screen. I plan on increasing this to 960x600 once I get another 24" display at 1920x1200 resolution. There's no custom programming for WoW Maximizer - just an .ini config file to edit to give an offset on the display. On my 1680x1050 LCD, if I want a WoW window in the upper right corner of the screen to be 840x525 resolution, I set the offset parameter in the maximizer.ini file to be: 840,0,0,525. (Distance from left side, top, right, and bottom of the LCD - I *believe* this is the order of the settings - I'm not at home so I can't verify, but there's a line that explains it in the .ini file.)

There is also a line in your WTF/config.cfg (I believe this is the file name) that you'll have to edit to manually set the in-game resolution. I set mine to 840x525 to have 4 equal sized windows.

Naming heh. I named my mages Skilwin/Shilwin/Shillwind/Skillwind. They are all derivationns of a character called Shillwin. I made them either in honor of him or to mock him I'm not sure but we both had a good laugh. As for the guild name I called it "Gold Farmers Pty Ltd" just to see what kind of response I would get.....needless to say that was the biggest mistake I've ever made. So much so that I actually asked a GM if it violated their terms to change it but they said it was fine :/ As for comments and stuff, I myself use Auto Hotkey. I'm really stingy and I didn't want to pay for a program. So far it's worked amazingly well. I found the easiest way to set it up is to just find the post on the forums that lists examples of what to do and just copy/paste/modify it for each key you want to use.
