Mouse broadcast

[daviddoran]

And it clicks in the same spot on all windows (relatively speaking of course)? How would this work if one window is widescreen and the others are standard? I mostly want this for quest completion, cause I couldn't get my "accept stuff" button to work to complete quests. Also i figure it would be useful for skinning/looting, especially when boosting, cause there are tons of mobs on top of each other. Then I could loot x5 and make it not so time consuming.

I'd imagine that clicking in the middle of the screen would work, but 2 of my windows are super wide (1280x512 x2 sharing a 1280x1024 resolution monitor) 2 of my windows are standard (1280x1024 and 1024x768) and my main is 1920x1080. Will this work for me?

I just spent about fifteen minutes comparing WoW windows at different resolutions and the answer is pretty complicated because different kind of objects scale in different ways. The relative sizes and positions of objects to each other inside the windows is different, and the cropping (margins) of different types of objects is different, so getting this to work is tricky.

On the other hand, HotkeyNet has a ton of options for how it adjusts for differences in screen size. (Check them out [url='http://hotkeynet.com/ref/mouseclick.html']here[/url].) So there are a lot of tools to work with.

One way to deal with the situation might be to set WoW to resolutions that have the same aspect ratio (same shape) on all your monitors, then adjust them as necessary with Maximizer or similar program (HotkeyNet does this just like Maximizer). I haven't tested this but it might make everything exactly proportional. If so, HKN's default mouse scaling will work perfectly.

If you want to keep the windows set to different aspect ratios, it gets trickier because different types of objects scale in different ways. You'll be able to set things up so the mouse translates correctly for one type of object (the 3D background, for instance) but not another (the toon circle-thingie in the upper left, for example). The hotbar across the bottom (sorry if that's the wrong name for it) is a particular problem because it has different margins at different aspect ratios. If you want to click on that, I'll probably have to add a new scaling option that calculates positions from the center of the screen rather than the upper left corner.

Still awaiting tries with the mouse stuff, as my line still aint up.
Sitting on wireless from the neighbour atm, wich is crap... mass -dc

But for your quests and accepting, there's a macro for auto-accept and auto-choose the first button (i.e dialogue).
Search the wow-europe forums for it, as i cant remember what it was containing.

"AutoQuest macro" or so i believe

That'll be a nice boost. I'll never forget the day I went straight from dial-up to a cable modem and hard-wired router (with ethernet cables). What a relief that was.

hehe aye.

Got 20mbit cable (fibre backends), but the sub was cancelled from the previous tenants, last week, so i had to make a new sub wich is hooked up on monday.

Im trying a little multiboxing again now, with the crap line (just bought my new 5 accounts etc to start on properly)

Tho i have a problem. it seems after i upgraded the HKN application, it switches to the other windows to press slower or something. because it interrupts my running on main window, wich it didnt do earlier.

any clue freddie ?

that beeing the case is it possible to minimize a window and still broadcast to it without restoring?


My fps suddenly dropped like a bad habit remaking new toons in another area. cant remember if i installed new stuff tho.
Think ill try a reinstall and see how it works out.

Or if anyone has successfully tried multiboxing on 1 computer with VMachines

[Freddie]

Could you post your hotkey file here (or email it to me) and tell me which key you are pressing when the running gets interrupted? Also which version of HKN are you using now? And are the windows still superimposed on each other exactly?

Edit:

That sort of thing varies from program to program. I don't know if it's possible with WoW. You just have to try SendWinM and SendWinMF and see.

aye noticed, my tired eyesight found SendWinMF now and its working ABSOLUTELY perfect.

Got 4x 320x240 windows behind my main wow window, running all 5 from 1 directory, SendWinMF to all the ones in the background as well as main window.

running 40fps maximized main window now :P
Still got the annoying quest stuff to figure out tho, since im running different resolutions (1440x900 main).
But think ill be getting 1box to handle the 4 slaves, and have a secod mouse instead.

Good. Since my last post I was testing this with my current work build, 100, and it seems to work fine with SendWinM. (It's better to use SendWinM if you can rather than SendWinMF because SendWinMF introduces a slight delay.) This new build will be up later today. It contains that very minor fix I mentioned where you'll be able to set the mouse delay to 0 and it will really be zero.

Edit: Boy I'm tired too. What the fix does is, skip the delay when the mouse isn't moved. Has nothing to do with zero or not zero.

[legg1]

hehe, tired as well. went out and bought 5 copies of wow earlier today, and managed to forget to buy food, so still havent consumed breakfast :P (3:57pm here now).

Too much fun nuking it up.


New warlock team, only level 5atm tho. Slow start due to quest issues when it comes to accepting/finishing etc.
Think ill set up Mouseclicks to work only on the slaves as they use the same resolution. will make the whole process alot faster.
