    Default Maximizer on client side?

    I've been using Octopus since I started multiboxing three months ago, but I've only just looked into it's maximizer functionality. It seems that it might make my setup simpler, but I'm a bit stuck.

    My boxing setup is like this: I run my main fullscreen on one PC with Octo running as server, and four clones on a second PC in each quarter of the screen, with Octo as client. Up until now, I've been arranging my clone windows by launching the four clients using a batch file that invokes the standalone WoW Maximizer program four times.

    Now that I've realised Octopus' maximizer capabilities I'd like to use those instead, but they seem to be available server side only, not on the client side. Is this correct? When I set up a profile on the server side and add the four client side instances, there seems to be no way to specify which maxmize zone to run them in. The way I have it set up at the moment, the four clients start up on the second machine but all stay in the centre of the screen overlapping eachother.

    Can anyone advise?

    Default

    takes the maximize area / display set in the profile and sends it to the client associated with the game. so yes its client side.

    Ah right, I've got it working thank you.

    I thought that maximize zones on the client side would have to defined on the client side, but that's not the case.
