Hotkeynet 2 computers and 2 accounts

[mbox_bob]

Your CTRL+R hotkey does two different things. Neither of which actually launch the game, so the expectation is you load up the game yourself on both PC's, and then press CTRL+R, but due to the double binding on it, I suspect it is broken.

I think I see what you mean. I changed it and it still doesn't work.
HKN still is connected and still no errors.

You were missing the (x86) before which was my point, good you corrected it, but

You have defined Launch but you aren't using it

also it seems you have 2 windows per computer now (in your Ctrl-R hotkey) ? is that what you want ?

what exact sequence of things you do starting from nothing is started but hotknet on both computers ?

in general when reporting a problem, please be precise with what are the symptoms (define "no luck" and what isn't working) ?

once you get to actually launch using hotkeynet instead of manually,
try a simple step first like if the login screen work as in if you type 1 in the email field does 1 show up on both (and if not, what are the messages, including did the RenameTargetWin worked succesfully)

in short, do something like:

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl L>   
   <Launch local>
   <Launch "10.0.0.234">

and try alt-ctrl-l and see it does launch wow on both and after that hitting 1 sends it to both

So I made changes you suggested. I also removed the rename field and took it back to almost the pure sample sheet that HKN has online. I kept the latest changes as I think I was adding to much.


HKN works as I can see it broadcast to the other computer from with HKN. No errors or anything.


I start HKN on desktop (server) then on laptop (client)
I start WOW on desktop manually on the server first then on the client
I manually login into each WOW login screens Server first, then client
I hit scroll lock button and then press one of the only keys I use when I play. ( key 1 through key = )

I read on another post about renaming the wow windows to avoid the hidden window. Although some have got it to work it and I'm sure the code is good, it didn't for me. That is the reason why I removed them and went to basics starter script.. I did as you suggested though and tried to start both server and client WOW's with Alt Ctrl L. It did launch both server and client

I just logged into both and so far i'm working as it should. I can't believe it and almost gave up on it again. Hopefully it won't be short lived.

My script I used

//================================================================
// SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR TWO WOW'S ON TWO PC'S
// (one account on each machine)
//
// Instructions: Copy this entire script (all the blue writing
// on gray background including comments). Save it in a file. 
// Load it into HotkeyNet.
//
// Toggle the scroll lock key to turn hotkeys off and on. (You 
// can change this if you want, just like you can change 
// everything else with HotkeyNet.)

// Requires HotkeyNet build 147 or higher.

Thank you for all your time. You put in the extra effort to help a faceless member of this Forum and that is so cool. If I can in someway I'll play it forward on a subject that i know at least. =)
