SWG Multi-Boxing possible?

[Reinhart]

Hi guys, I'm totally new to multi-boxing, I've seen it working in WoW back when I was playing it but I wasn't interested at the time..
now that I am back playing swg after a long time, I wanted to give it a shot, but I tried with octopus, single pc dual boxing, and it isn't working for me, I've tried searching around for info but I din't find nothing
does anyone know if it's possible to multibox swg, and with which software?

Thank you

ty anyway guys, keep up the good work

enjoy

Two hours isn't much time to wait....

A few minutes of Google time shows that some people have multiboxed SWG, but there is nothing I found as a framework for attempting to do it.

Never played it, some guys I work with have, but none of them multibox since they spend all of their extra $$$ at the bars.....

I did the tradition Alt-Tab multiboxing in SWG for a while, found that it wasn't necessary for leveling in the game... very easy to solo as is. The only reason I did it was to have the extra slots for Housing and Manufacturing.

yes you can multibox SWG... and it has a macro system from hell (hell you could do complete game automation back in the day with it) but i believe with the current system you have to be able to right click to fire off specials so it probably wouldn't be a very nice experience ... and besides i haven't found anything i cant kill in SWG given enough room to run....

yay ^^thank you for answering guys, I almost gave up this thing, since I've not been able to find *anything* about dual-boxing this game, yes on google you can find someone who says to have multiboxed swg, yet no clue about wich program-macro works.
I'd really like to pass clicks and keystrokes, the best I've been able to do is dual-logging and alt-tabbing.
I've tried octopus and some other random free programs, it just won't pass clicks/keys in the game, while it seems to work in character log-in screen.
Any suggestion about how to make it work in game too?

ps. btw you don't need to right click to fire specials, it's like wow targeting + quickkey to fire from toolbar

The key thing to look for to successfully multibox any game are

1. Keybindings - Mouse replication is currently terrible, we need to button press
2. Follow - If you can't follow you are going to hate it, unless cat herding is your hobby
3. Assist - If you can't assist a "Brain" then targeting isn't going to be easy

I am sure you can multibox without those three things but I am also sure the experience would be a lot worse than soloing.

[Reinhart]

Well I think swg can handle follow and assist, and I think I shouldn't have any problem in using only keyboard. The problem is getting to press for example f1 on char A and have it cloned to char B, I've had no luck in doing this with any program

[HomersDonut]

Being a Sony game I wouldn't be surprised if you had to go with Innerspace to get key injection working between instances

[Reinhart]

yep I've read about eq2 too..maybe I should try innerspace or wait for keyclone get fixed
