Wow Open Box Software Thread

[Moorea]

Hi, thanks for the great software!

I've been using it for a while and reactivated my 5 accounts for the first time since Nov.

Is it possible, using the 'Profiles' to have 2 seperate Window profiles setup. One for using a 2 window profile, and one for using a 5 window profile? Sometimes I am 5 boxing on 2 monitors, and my profile splits up 4 clients onto one screen.

Sometimes I just want to play 2 accounts, ie: my main toon, and my auction toon on the other screen. Or do some professions. When I'm only playing 2 clients, I don't want that 2nd client taking up only a quarter of my second screen. Just wondering if this is possible, or if I need to use the Window Layout tool every time.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes that’s what profiles are for:
Set your 2 box layout, save and apply and then File menu « New Profile » and type eg « 2 box »
Then new profile again, type « 5 box » change layout to 5 and save and apply

After that in Profile menu just pick the right one

You can also pass -profile on the command line to select which one you want at startup (you can combine that with the bat file to launch different setups)

Can this software be used for other games...im looking for something to dualbox 4-6 characters in Mir4 ???

I looked at this very quickly but in my testing it didn't seem to capture or focus on my mir4 windows and I didnt want to mess to much with the configure file without asking in here first.

It should work with anything, though I don’t know Mir4, see https://openmultiboxing.org for non wow instructions and if you have a problem just check the wob/omb discord

Thank you I will try this again after work and see if I can make it work, Mir4 is similar to wow but very less features.

I've used the capture and add captured focus options...sadly it wont seem to capture my Mir4 windows..is it possible their client is somehow preventing this ???

Ctrl+Shift+C is your friend, and loading the game client up outside of its launcher program works wonderfully now I have 4 screens of Mir4 open..but how do I make the mouse move across all 4 screens the same ??? currently I have to move between all 4 windows to get my characters to click on things instead of mirroring what my main is doing??

Some games or VMs (or slower PCs) need a small delay, I'll make a release update but in meantime you can try:

Download the OpenMultiBoxing.tcl ; insert "after 50" before line 932 then put that file in same folder as the exe

Let me know if that helps with Mir4 too

Ok, I made the above change and released it try 5.2.6 at
https://github.com/OpenMultiBoxing/O...oxing/releases
and let me know if it works fully in this version; if not try to increase the mouseBroadcastDelay setting by 20 until it works reliably and please let me/others know what worked

edit: 5.2.5 had a bug

[Moorea]

Big Change in version 7.0.0 of OpenMultiBoxing: Round Robin is replaced by key Broadcasting!

(stay on 6.0 or WOB for continued optional RR including "wow safe" version with only windows and mouse focus management)

https://github.com/OpenMultiBoxing/O...oxing/releases

This quite a fresh / early release so do mention if you encounter any issue or have suggestions etc

ps: mouse broadcasting also improved in 6.0, including right click or left click broadcasting now
