Hey all,
Old timer and long retired WoW multiboxer here, working on a new project!
I am excited for the D2R launch and am preparing a 3 character box for it. (I think 3 is a nice sweet spot for a decent increase in exp as well as MF purposes.
Currently I am playing around with my set up and prepare myself using d2 classic. I had plenty of d2 classic keys still lying around that I could still redeem.
Don't mind the low quality, just wanted to make the file tiny and it was enough to get the point across of my set up
Right now, I have a two pc set up, one instance on the main PC and two on the secondary PC.
Programs I use:
Input Director - For mouse sharing across network
- (interesting tidbit, enabling the windows option to activate windows on hover, found in ease of access center, will somehow stop playing sound from my client PC when I am active on my main PC, which is great. I can't get it to work the other way around though. So when I go to my client PC game, I hear both the client and main PC's game sounds
But it is already great that it mutes my client when I go main.)
SoundIt - For sound networking
- It's not the greatest of sound quality, but it works well.
Sanboxie - for second instance on second PC
- Not sure if D2R will require this, but classic does. We'll see.
Windowed borderless gaming - for the instances on second PC
- note: it struggles with enlarged windows, so instead use different windows resolution and scaling to get the desired window size to make sure your mouse doesn't jump all over the place.
I am also interested in trying ISBoxer 2, but I havent gotten my hands on it yet.
I am looking to 3-box on hardcore (I'm not a masochist, really) using a sorceress, a singing barb and a summoner druid.
I am currently looking into using autohotkey for some keysharing. Right now I have to move them all individually, which is not ideal. Although the main purpose is to get 3 player games, which is already achieved, making things easier on myself is always nice of course.
Who else is interested in boxing D2R? I welcome any ideas people have on how to better my set up.
