[Keyclone] setting up a command to work with maximizer (step-by-step)

[keyclone]

Howdy Hiarcs,

1. to hide your 'start menu' bar, right click it... properties... auto-hide

2. 1 wow doing full screen @ 400 fps is not the same as 4 @ 100 fps. the graphics throughput is only part of the problem. you also have the rendering.. which you multiplied by 4. graphics memory helps, and having multiple graphics cards MAY help, and should, but it depends on how they parse the work. personally, i'd have 1 card doing 2 wows and the other doing 3. this would maximize the gpu by reducing the amount of items each card needs to render. 2 or 3 views instead of 5

my suggestion? get 2 monitors and drive each off of one card. that'd prolly give you the best results

3. the resolution in the config.wtf is written by wow.exe after startup. it is its lowest setting. when you use maximizer, it will set the resolution within the config.wtf then fire up wow. your screen res doesn't come into this. changing the video config within wow means nothing if you are using maximizer. if you are trying to play without maximizer, then stay in-game.. exit keyclone.. in-game, change the video options.. exit the game... restart

as for bags not showing up.. that depends on the size (in pixels) of his wow regions. if they are small, consider using something like bongos to move the action buttons around

Thx for the response....

well my cards are 2x 8800 GTX 768 MB each.

I have 4 monitors so i can personally put the main on its own card or even share it with one other no problem and have the other clones on the other GPU using the 2nd or 3rd/4th monitor. I have done this with out using maximizer and get decent FPS no matter how I split up the throughput. But where we are getting the drastic FPS decrease is when we try to just use the one 30 " monitor. Where the main is on the left and 4 clones in pip on the right. For me i have the option to split up the throughput to get decent FPS (have not tried with maximizer pip yet). But my cousin only has 1 monitor and is trying to do it with just 1 video card which is a 8800 GT 512 . Although his FPS was the same as mine when trying to do it. 10-15 fps on the main and 10-15 on the clones. Is this FPS considered normal for using 1 monitor on this card (5 boxing) all with maximizer pip enabled? The monitor he is using is the Dell 3007 30" (2500x1600 rez).

also was a little confused on what you were talking about with the resolution in the config.wtf... So in the video game options even though it says 800-600 its not really set at that right? Should we be editing this file somehow to change the rez to get better FPS? or we are stuck with what it gives us? Cause in another post there is a picture of a guy who has the same setup using 1 monitor.. Just wondering if he is getting 10-15 fps for all 5 using 1 monitor..



Thx for the responses



Edit: I read this before but the forums are growing fast i don't have time to go searching for it... but i read before someone was having issues with the clones stopping the autofollow. I have finally been able to 5 box on one machine and noticed my clones are stopping autofollow every 100 yards or so. When ever i 2-3 boxed i never had this issue. so its kind of annoying me. I even tried enchanting the clones boots with minor speed increase but still happens. is there a solution to this ?



Edit x2: I had to reinstall vista 64 bit. having issues so no doubt the serial key i just bought will no longer work. What do you have to do to ensure i can use it once i get the machine running again?

[Hiarcs]

Ok i got my computer up and running again and about to reinstall keyclone. Could i please get a reply regarding the last post and especially the serial key issue please. its been a few days now thx much.

Thx for the help last night on vent KC. Got it working good and now have a slightly different problem. Basically I set up the Max FPS to 75 when using KC. Now when i go to play wow with out keyclone and just 1 boxing solo.. I now can not get past 75 FPS hehe. Its as if Keyclone changed something permanately in the settings. I tried resetting all the settings in KC but no luck. Normally in single mode in wow i can get 150-400 FPS. So now its stuck at 75FPS (which i set when i set up all the regions).



How to make keyclone reset so it doesn't affect "normal" game play (1 box with out kc)



Hope that makes sense. look forward to your response.

Editk after scratching my head for a few minutes rofl. i decided to look in the WTF folder Config file and i see there the settings are still active with the Max Fps etc. I suppose creating a back up of this file would of been wise before messing with maximizer hehe. Anyone have the original config settings? I dont' want to have to reinstall or anything.

Edit2: ok i followed the advice of one of your posts and have 5 copies of wow all named wow1-wow5 so each can have mods and macros saved etc. Now i was able to delete the WTF folder to resolve the FPS issue mentioned above.. it solved it for Wow2-wow5 however the wow1 is still set to Maxfps 75 even after deleting the WTF folder. Any ideas? The other 4 have been reset fine after launching wow it brings back the WTF directory. And wow1 does read as the others although its not resetting..

Edit3: Any ideas ?

Heya, just started using your Maximizer, cause it works better than macros.

Question though, is how can I setup Keyclone to do different setups? I have a 5 box team a 3 box team and a 4 box team, and they obviously dont use the same windows, how can I configure it to set up the windows I want different every time I start it up?

[keyclone]

to reset your fps.. you could always make a macro...

/console set maxfps 999

I must great job explaining it. But i think i'm not getting something right cause im having the same problems everyone else is having. I cant get it to open up more then one account. And i'm sure if i can figure it out how to get all 3 on one screen it would make my job a lot easier and i would probably get back into multi boxing full swing again.

I guess the part where im lost at is when you go to Command Editor i don't understand what am i suppose to put in the key map spot.

[keyclone]

hello Giggawattz,

generally, 98% of the people will have no need for keymaps... so leave that clear.

each command is associated with 1 region. the region is where the window produced by the command will be placed.

the region name specified in the command, must match the name in the maximizer layout editor. by default, the names are similar to 'region1', 'region2', etc... except without the quotes. note that the names are not '1', '2', '3', etc... but the entire string

if you are still confused, please let me know and i'll try to explain it better.

Well i went back and double checked everything and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The only thing is i still get one to load and it still takes up the full screen? Would love to try to figure this out cause i hate trying to multi box 4 toons and not being able to see my other 3 at all. But its getting late ill play around with it tomorrow if you got any pointers what to look for send them my way.
