This last week, I started multi-boxing WoW with alot of fun.
I figured I would help others here, as multi-boxing can be used with just about any game. First here's what I did, since those MMO's are expensive. I had my regular WoW account set up, and simply created another instance for a trial account to see If I could in fact multi-box to begin with.
Both instances of the game must be in a differant folder.
next, I grabbed a free program called Hotkeynet. This allows you to broadcast key strokes to differant windows. Now the way windows works, you have to rename the windows also. The followin script in note pad is what I used to do both of them...
<Hotkey Ctrl R>
<SendPC local>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" wow1>
<RenameWin "World of Warcraft" wow2>
<Label Steveone Local SendWinM wow1>
<Label Stevetwo Local SendWinM wow2>
<HoldDownKey w, a, s, d, up, down, left, right>
<SendLabel Steveone, Stevetwo>
<BroadcastKey 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Ctrl F1, Ctrl F2>
<SendLabel Steveone, Stevetwo>
The rename is easy, I used Labels so the pc would tell where to send the key strokes.
Broadcast keys are easy, these are the keys that with a simple press would go to both windows. you can also set this up over multiple pcs just by plugging in there IP address under Label.
IT's funny, that I can do this with WoW and a few other games, but I still can't play OP because of the amount of variables being sent.
Anyway, I just thought I would write this as a primer for those interested in multi-boxing, there are plenty of other tools available, but this is a great start for those not wanting to invest too much money.
