Reprogram / Recompile Hotkeynet into app without key broadcasting

[bpkdasbaum]

First only freddie has the source

Second: why not use opensource code that already does everything that is compliant?

From what I gathered on the hotkeynet website. The old original hotkeynet is open source software. I assume that means the code is free to use for everyone?
Like I mentioned I don't know anything about coding, I assume one can simply open a program and change code in it. Your post suggest that's not possible and one needs some base code?

I already looked at the hotkeynet forum and contact options. Freddie was last active a few months ago there.

I plan on asking him as well directly once I know if it's even possible to do so. That's why I asked here first.

I am specifically asking about those window and starting features, as I use those even without wanting to multibox, but just for convinience. With the changes now I can't even risk to run the app anymore.

And the options to switch/arange windows are top notch and easy to script. It seems easier to continue using something that's already working great instead of doing it from the ground up.

From what I understand openwowbox would profit from those options as well, the gudies on your websites states to open and setup each wow window individually right now.

hotkeynet is free to use but not open source no

before I started from scratch I actually tried to ask freddie if he would make the code open source but he was probably busy and didn’t reply.

launching wow is in the todo list for Wow Open Box, it’s just that using bnet and capture (ctrl-shift-c) seems more efficient and secure to me as you don’t need to enter your password that way

listening to community input is one of the goal of the project
