New to dual/multi boxing and ran into an issue with Windows 8.

Hello Coanunn,

Please download and try IsBoxer for a 7 day free trial.

If IsBoxer works for you, I have a 90 day subscription to give you for free.

Thank you very much. I will certainly give it a try today, it seems to be one of the most popular on this site and I was rather let down I couldn't afford it to begin.

Movement keys are not the same as hotkeys. You should not be assigning a key to be a movement key and trying to use it like a hotkey. There should never be a need to unbind keys in the game itself. If you're unbinding keys in the game and then trying to send those same keys to the game, there's nothing bound, so the game has nothing to do with the commands you are sending.

I'd suggest anyone looking to use HotKeyNet read the Newb Script Walkthrough.

For this, you should look at Jamba and the Newbie's Guides in my sig.

The guide I had followed had you unbind the movement keys in the second client in order to use all movement key strokes to refresh the follow command for that client. While I certainly don't understand all the mechanics difference in how HKN treats movement keys, I can say that the setup was working for me for several hours of game play and even allowed me to have the characters move and jump accurately together. As I stated above I'll be working with ISBoxer's trial today, but if for some reason that doesn't work for me I will certainly check the guides you linked.

Again, to all who have commented and been so helpful, I can't thank you enough.

EDIT: Having now tried ISBoxer I can't say enough how much I enjoy this software. It has made me contemplate continuing to multi-box even after the benefits of my current RAF expire. I had a very bad moment with their IRC support channel during setup which very nearly brought the whole attempt to an end and will be submitting a ticket to the author to change the login to reflect that it wants you "email address" rather than username or to change it to accept username but otherwise it's been a very enjoyable experience. Mirai's tutorial videos can not be over appreciated as they walk you through the entire process of setup. Initial setup is both far more complex but also easier than HKN as the basics can be done via a simple wizard. I'll stop preaching to the choir on this one, but thank you all for helping me get this all set up and working.

ya i have the 7day trial. i really think it's a very robust and versatile piece of software for multiboxing.

anyone considering multiboxing really needs to at least try it out to see what is possible.


i would add that my foray into HKN really helped me gain a better grasp of what ISBoxer is doing and made tweaking it much clearer.

obviously it's two different pieces of software, but since they both deal with the same issues having to script made me understand some things i just wasn't grasping.
