Difficulty using HotkYeNet, 2 WoW Accounts, 1 PC

[Ivikdterak]

I'm just trying to run my main account and my recruit a friend account at the moment, but I can't stand all this command line stuff. I've tried messing with it from the custom template, but I just can't get it to work properly.
I'm using build 210
I use 2 separate WoW program folders on 2 different hardrives on the same PC
I use 2 monitors
I just want whatever I press/click on the main WoW screen to be mirrored on the 2nd WoW screen; I use WASD to move, I use 1-= on the action bar and i use keybindings with different letters and modifiers like Ctrl, Alt, & Shift.

Here is what the script currently looks like:

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE MAIL LABELS FOR SENDING KEY STROKES.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Label w1 Local SendWinM WoW1>
<Label w2 Local SendWinM WoW2>


//-----------------------------------------------------------
// DEFINE HOTKEYS FOR ALL KEY COMBINATIONS THAT WILL GET
// SENT TO ALL WOWS. ADD MORE KEY COMBO'S IF YOU WANT.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<KeyList MyList A-Z, 0-9, Enter, Tab, Oem4, Space, Comma, Oem6>


<Hotkey MyList; Shift MyList; Alt MyList; Ctrl MyList>
       <SendLabel w1, w2>
       <Key %Trigger%>


<MovementHotkey up, down, left, right>
           <SendLabel w1, w2>
            <Key %Trigger%>


<hotkey pause>
    <sendpc local>
    <ToggleHotkeys>

<Hotkey Oem3 LButton, MButton, RButton>  
   <SendLabel w1, w2>
       <ClickMouse %TriggerMainKey%>
           
//-----------------------------------------------------------

   <SendPC local>

      <Run "E:\World of Warcraft\WoW-64.exe">


//-----------------------------------------------------------

//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey Alt Ctrl L>
<LaunchAndRename Local "C:\program files (x86)\World of Warcraft\WoW-64.exe" WoW1>
<LaunchAndRename Local "E:\World of Warcraft\WoW-64.exe" WoW2>

I'd suggest starting with the guide in my sig. Beyond that, you haven't given me anything to troubleshoot. What errors are you getting from HotKeyNet?

[Ivikdterak]

pressing a button like W to move forward and nothing happens

[Bettysue]

pressing a button like W to move forward and nothing happens

You do not have wasd defined as movement keys, find the line in your posted script that says movementhotkey up, down, left, right....and change those to w, a, s, d. You will have to add "except w, a, s, d" to the end of your keylist. Just paste that after where it says oem6 in your keylist without a comma, just a space will do.
Then of course make sure those are the keybinds in wow. You may want to add space, as a movement hotkey as well or you will not be able to fly or swim. That should get you moving.

Good luck

Ok so the current errors are ones like these:

When I do Ctrl/Alt/L it loads the 2 WoW's twice.

Please place code within tags - either [code] or [quote]

It launches twice because that's what your LaunchAndRename is telling it to do. Your script says to launch from both locations and then Run from both locations.

You don't have a command in there anywhere to rename the windows, thus all the "failed: Could not find window".

I would not suggest using W, A, S, D as defined movement keys. As I explain in the Configuring a HotKetNet Starter Script Guide, you do not want to multibox by trying to make slaves move independently. They should be managed by using a follow macro or assist and interact with target. The only exception is I would add Space and X to the MovementHotkey list because you will need it to pass so your slaves can jump, fly and swim.

The reason W wasn't doing anything is not because it wasn't defined as a movement key, it is because you didn't define window names so HotKeyNet had nowhere to send it.

At this point, I'd start that whole script over. Go get a new copy of the Two-on-one HotKeyNet Starter Script.

Change only the following -

DELETE These 3 sections

//-----------------------------------------------------------
 // PRESS CTRL R TO RENAME WOW'S IF YOU LAUNCH THEM MANUALLY 
 //-----------------------------------------------------------
 <Hotkey ScrollLockOn Ctrl R>
     <SendPC local>
         <RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW1> 
         <RenameWin "World of Warcraft" WoW2> 

 //-----------------------------------------------------------

       <Run "c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe">

 // HOTKEY TO LAUNCH AND RENAME BOTH WOW'S.
 //-----------------------------------------------------------
 <Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl L>
     <LaunchAndRename Local WoW1>
     <LaunchAndRename Local WoW2>

REPLACE them with

//----------------------------------------------------------
// 	WoW LAUNCH AND RENAME SUBROUTINE
//----------------------------------------------------------
<Command LaunchAndRename>
<SendPC %1%>
<Run %2%>
<RenameTargetWin %3%>
<RemoveWinFrame>

//*
<Hotkey Ctrl Alt L>
	<LaunchAndRename Local "C:\program files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe" WoW1>
		<LaunchAndRename Local "E:\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe" WoW2>

Everything else should stay exactly as it is. Load the script, reload HotKeyNet and you should be good to go. I'd also still suggest reading the HotKeyNet guide I linked above and looking at things like adding the Pause broadcasting hotkey and a Resize command from it.

Ok I've finally had some time to sit down and mess with it I'm getting ready to go to a New Year's party, but it's still got some kinks, I'll have to check out the shared mouse click thing again later.
I'm wondering about overcoming certain barriers though like accepting quests and looting mobs for quest items, etc.

Also, what are the other Oem keys? And would using the Windows key work for the mouse click toggle? HotKeyNet calls it just plain Alt instead of LAlt or RAlt, and currently I have the windows key disabled from opening the start menu.

[Khatovar]

Accepting quests you will want Jamba. Link in the sig for the guide to that. Looting you will need to set up assist + interact with target. Information on that is also in the Jamba guide under the Questing section and in the Multiboxing Volume 1 guide.

Here is a list of keynames, including OEM keys.

http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/keynames.html

If you have remapped the Windows key, you will have to undo that or map it to something else HotKeyNet can use as a toggle. If it is currently reporting Alt, it will only work as a modifier. I currently use the Windows Keys to swap windows.
