Well, no need to be condescending cald. I too wish the resources of this site and others were available when I set out to box.

Try emailing Keyclone... see if he has any suggestions. Post specific error messages so we can better try to diagnose the problem. Many of us have no problems sharing our areas of expertise (mine is very light when it comes to software solutions) but others out there may of better help.

If I gave up the first time linux didn't work... or we gave up trying to go to the moon the first time astronauts died or we stopped living as a free society the instant something catastrophic happened - then we wouldn't ever do anything as a species. Keep at it, sleep on it whatever you need to do. I am confident that your "ah-ha" moment will come

rofling cause i've been multiboxing for years testing and perfecting. And someone researches for only 6 hours should expect their hands held for free. When in reality the information they're getting here was much more then what I and others ever had

If u can't figure out here. I can damn well tell you that you will blow monkeynuts boxing. Because you actually have to think....

You're a PVPer. I can tell right now.

I've been doing this all by hand for the past two years myself. It's only recently that I decided I wanted to try the multibox approach. You're right, it may not be for me, I may have to settle for "only" one character at a time.

It's the lack of helpful content that had me frustrated. So many threads on the same topic (mine is no help) when a single stuck thread with screenshots would be all I would have needed.

Something to consider for future visitors for those who have the time and desire to show others.

I agree with you, it would be helpful to write a FAQ on how to dual box or multibox with software. I will sticky it the instant one appears but nobody has yet taken the time to write one. I would but I am no expert on these programs. If somebody wants to step up and write one, I would be happy to link to it and sticky it here. It would be of significant value to people attempting to multibox cheaply or with software only.

I dont agree on this. AHK made me feel ill and it has a horrendous learning curve for most of us. When I see an application in which I cant even grasp the basics without long reading, i simply turn off. With keyclone however, multiboxing really doesnt take anymore than an hour or two. It took me that time to run kc, set up the ingame keys for 5 boxes, set up the right macros and get killing. Within 10 hours, i was mount/charge/slaughter whole camp/drink/charge off-ing like I've been doing it my whole life.

Granted im still way off some of your setups, for example setting macros for changing main or various spread out movements, but pve wise, mobs are falling over and I can do instances near my level comfortably.

My point is, you dont need to spend insane amoutns of time setting multiboxing up. You can get an excellent setup with a very very user friendly learning curve and then, as you go along, improve it.

well yeah, I am gonna test new version of my script tomorrow and then I'll make small tutorial about using AHK with examples of scripts.

With Keyclone, have you tried typing in the extension before clicking save?

I don't mind so much that people come to the site asking for help, but now he wants you to sit there and hold each of his hand and do the work for him, comparing how much time boxers have put into it pre dual-boxing.com.

From a certain standpoint, some people lack common knowledge, and the very basic of that is understanding their own computer software and hardware, like how to install etc...so that just tells me maybe they're not ready to box if they don't understand how to use a simple software....and at what point do you decide, hey...I'm wasting my time helping this guy.

2 pages of post trying to comfort the guy into something he may or may not be ready for but thinks that we should do everything to help him?

Most of the information in this site hasn't helped or improved my boxing experience since I've settled on my own style long before. I mostly go here to see where people are at. The spread out thing was fun to try, but that's about it. (it's a waste of key for me.)

P.s. I don't pvp, there's no real bragging right to sit there with 5 toons to kill one person, on the other hand if you can 5 man instance by yourself without wasting one hour for a group one hour on wipes and one hour on idiots....?

I might be mistaken but Keyclone is pretty new software compared to others so people HAD TO use non user friendly software. Well and hardware ofc.

I think this is an excellent point to clarify. It is more true now than before - when NOTHING was out there. It IS possible to get up and running fairly quickly (albeit not at a complex level) within a few dozen hours of tweaking. That gets you in the door, so to speak, which is to say it is limited but functional. There is no reason why one could not go the software only approach and have 5 copies running on 1 machine with Keyclone within 3 - 4 hours. Actually controlling them would be another story but please don't think that my methods are the ONLY way to play. I feel they are the best for what *I* do but there is no reason you need the same investment in hardware and setup to play.
