Noob help with Autohotkey(and duel-boxing)

[Destro]

thanks

so far iv been testing this with my friend but now that it works i think im going to go buy a second copy of wow now

what are good combos?

would mage and warlock work
or 2 mages or 2 warlocks?

and again thank you every one
this is one of the first "computer techish" type of forum i haven spammed to death by "nub you dont know how to do that lawl!!!!!111111"

I'd go mage and lock, harder to control, more fun, more possibilities

ok is there a guide somewhere on how to make macros on 2 separate classes?

[unit187]

it is very simple to figure out so if u read WoW macros tutorial on official forums you can do everything yourself

well i know how to make macros

my question is how do you have them set op so it works for 2 different classes

like say you have fireball on the 1 what would you put on the 1 for the warlock? things like that

[unit187]

It depends on your preferences and playstyle

[Destro]

well i decides to do duel undead mages

i still have a few questions

how do you move characters into formations like Zin does in the 10 boxing vid

im still trying to think of a good name

i prob wont get the second game for 2 weeks... i hate biweekly pay :evil:

[keyclone]

you can get a 10 day trial account (or 5) for free... and when you get paid, activate them or just pay them for the month (doesn't have to have recurring monthly payments). that way, you could have you character already level up by the time you get paid.

wow 10-day free trials here:

i recommend this to anyone that wants to try multi-boxing but doesn't want to fork over the money for an account.. in case they don't like it. just be aware, there are some limitations with the free accounts (like no bank, auction house, mail, or trading with other players)

The class combination doesn't really matter- I dual a hunter and a palladin.

The pally is set to follow my hunter (i have the pally wow window minimized as I don't need to use it) and all the needed buttons are macro'd on the numpad. Most of it is done through using target=focus, and I have one to set my hunter to focus (but can easily be changed if some one wants to borrow him ^^) - then it's just different buttons for healing the hunter, the pet, or himself. Different blessings, auras, 2 different mounts etc. Cake

The formation stuff I wouldn't have said you need for a 2man as the non-main char will just step in behind your own.

With regards to the 'lag' issue you mentioned earlier - there's 2 possible sources. First, and least likely is your latency - if you're net connection can't handle both, one tends to get priority and it would make sense that it's the window you currently have active. Second, and most likely (as it's the problem I have at the moment) - my cpu can barely keep both instances of wow running at full speed - the main window (my hunter) tends to stay full speed - but when things get busy (ie running into the middle of an AV zerg) theres a lot of work for the cpu - my pally tends to fall behind as windows essentially puts it on hold - stopping the movement commands being sent to the server. I'm often turning around to go collect him.

Possible solutions; use 2 seperate computers, or upgrade the one I have. Neither are an option at the moment so I just make do.

i fixed the running thing
just changed the code a little
i can run 2 WoW, have the internet up, listen to music, and be talking on AIM now and there was no lag. so im good now

also if i got a 10 day trial would you be able to continue it without buying the game?
