[HKN] broadcasting issue

[Joshuhwha]

So the other night i figured it out and i was doing some leveling and flying around questing etc.

today, with nothing change. I open up HKN, load the same script i was using yesterday, load all the clients, and check mark turn on hotkeys, and hit ctrl R to rename all the windows accordingly.
And its not broadcasting or even registering on WoW1 *master client* and I am at a loss here. any help? I even had it down pat collecting items after kills, and re mounting to fly with the oem3 button etc.

ALSO is there a discord? the one link i found is broken and cant find another that maybe you all use? I ask cause be great to voice chat small things from time to time.
Script im using

What is Hotkeynet telling you when you press a hotkey? Is it reporting it having been succesfully sent?

If so, then I would assume you're running in to the hidden window problem that started a few years ago. Essentially for each game window WoW also open a hidden window with the same name and unless you deal with it, you might end up sending keystrokes to the hidden windows instead of your actual game windows. Atleast I see nothing in your script specifically set up to deal with this.

There's plenty of threads where people have posted their solutions to it. I've not tested any of them so I can't say which way is optimal. For example here: https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...oW-Stress-Test someone (post #3) suggests just having more renaming lines.
