Mouse broadcast

[legg1]

Is there a way to broadcast my mouse movement and clicks to other windows?
Im using HotkeyNet at the moment, wich i must say works flawless for keys, as i dont need movement keys to broadcast (im running target/follow/assist on TAB only).

Im "virtually" multiboxing, that beeing running 5 clients on one computer.

Works quite nice actually, just want as said, all mouse movement / keyclicks on the 4 slaves as well so i dont have to go in and take quests / complete, or loot seperatedly.

Thanks for the kind words. Did you try HotkeyNet's MouseClick command?

Hi Freddie.

I will take a look at it.
Somehow missed that part of your site.

Tho it looks like it will take quite few drinks to get it sorted as im a disaster to setting up anything in need of coordinates :P

Will try though, thanks

You don't need any coordinates. It will copy your cursor position to the other windows, and will scale the position if necessary if the windows are different sizes. But that page is probably the most complicated one on the website and I hate to inflict it on anybody, so if you want, I'll show you how to write the definition. But first I need to know if the windows overlap each other or are they tiled (like with Maximizer).

That would be awesome.

Im not using maximizer (dont know how) just resized them to minimum view without minimizing, and placed them neatly around my desktop :P

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. It turned out that I needed to add something to the program to make this work with WoW when it's in the background. The new build (99) can be downloaded now.

The reason I asked whether your windows are overlapped (partially covering each other) is because if they are, you need to use SendWinM in your definition. If they don't overlap (completely uncovered) you might be able to use SendWin. The definition should look like this.

<Hotkey F1>
<SendPC Local>
<SendWinM wow1>
<MouseClick>
SendWinM wow2>
<MouseClick>
SendWinM wow3>
<MouseClick>
SendWinM wow4>
<MouseClick>
SendWinM wow5>
<MouseClick>

If any of the windows are uncovered (non-overlapped) you might be better off with SendWin for them instead of SendWinM.

To make this work right, you probably will need to adjust the settings for MouseClick delays on the Settings panel.

Dw about any delay

Heavily appriciated this work, tho i have to ask to be sure -
Do i hold F1 or press it as Activate/Deactivate button ?

Delay im sure 100ms would be sufficent between windows

My windows are partially overlapping, tho shouldnt be a problem since the areas of the windows wich this is needed, will not be.

Need to do a little research on maximizer tho, think it would make things a hellova lot easier seeing as im gonna grab a 17/19" 4:3 LCD for the alts.

Do i hold F1 or press it as Activate/Deactivate button ?

The way I wrote that example, when you press F1, a left-click happens in both windows. Of course you can use any key you want to generate the clicks, and you can generate right/middle/x1/x2 clicks, and many other options.

Delay im sure 100ms would be sufficent between windows

That delay is not between windows. It's there because HKN moves the mouse and then clicks so fast, WoW may think the click happened before the cursor gets moved. Try 15 in each of the two delay fields on the Settings panel. If that's not enough, increase it slowly.

My windows are partially overlapping, tho shouldnt be a problem since the areas of the windows wich this is needed, will not be.

It's not a problem either way. In fact HKN is capable of clicking a WoW window even when it's completely covered by another window (that's what SendWinM is for). The reason I brought up the subject is to maximize performance. If you try both SendWin and SendWinM (just takes a second to add/remove the M and press "load hotkey file") you'll see that SendWinM is instant but SendWin is slower. But you may need SendWin depending on how your windows are arranged. You can try it and see the difference much faster than I can explain here. Try stuff, you can't hurt anything.

Need to do a little research on maximizer tho, think it would make things a hellova lot easier seeing as im gonna grab a 17/19" 4:3 LCD for the alts.

HKN does almost everything that Maximizer does -- changes window sizes, moves them, removes window borders and title bars, launches WoW.

Bah, I'm a mere programmer .... it's users who are heroes for putting up with all the bugs we create!
