Multiboxing tool written in AutoIt.

[JackBurton]

To everyone, I'd recommend not turning this thread into something besides a thread about a new multiboxing tool/script.

ok, I don't want to get ban hammered.

>_> We don't just ban people here because they disagree with something or make a snide comment. If that was the case this would have been empty long ago. The point of the last statement of my prior post was because this thread could easily go offtrack.

eh, why not start another? The more young people building things on their own the better. Plus it seems like he explained the why really well already.

It'd be great if someone would come along with a fancy product and light a fire under Lax's ass to get the next generation of software out.

But, I think Svpernova said it best in a different thread about new multiboxing software:

To be a serious contender in the software area here's a list of absolute minimums

Easy to use
Easy to setup
Instant PiP swap
Networkable
Keymap / Hotkey configuration
Easy drop in macro creation

Sit in IRC all day and answer questions about your product.
Sit on a forum all day and answer questions about your product.

It would be nice to see all this in a free product, GL.

But in any case my point is moot. It will be a tough sell to convince people to try it, because of the unmentionable things people do with that scripting language.

That's why my first post in this thread was cautious, but at the same time AHK can do lots of bad things and if you just follow the rules of the game you're playing all should be well.

But, I think Svpernova said it best in a different thread about new multiboxing software:

-Easy to use and to setup. -> definitely
-Instant PiP swap and accurate mouse broadcasting -> I think a 1s PiP swap delay is acceptable for WoW (i.e. the hotkeynet one), but accurate mousebroadcasting is imo far more important
-Keymap / Hotkey configuration -> iirc the keyclone way could be enough for most people
-Possibly network support -> not sure how many people would need this
-Macro support -> I have no idea how many use a build in macro system vs the ingame ones

I don't think sitting entire days on forums and on irc is a real requirement for a product to be successful. If a new open source tool becomes widely used, the community itself will offer more than enough support (e.g. hotkeynet). Besides, isboxer is incredibly powerful and the only thing it can't do is doing your dishes. My guess is that most multiboxers only use a fraction of the isboxer features, and in order for an open source tool to be successful I believe that covering the most used features would be enough. Point being, with less features (complexity) there is less need for support, and none will expect the same levels of support for a free tool that isboxer gives.

Why you decided to quote my general reply to JackBurton boggles my mind; but if you quoted my text to ask me the question directly, then my answer is... I didn't write the tool, I don't play EQ2, and I have no idea.
