Multiboxing Software

After making a little post about Multiboxing Macro's, im going to introduce now some basics that worked for me, when i started boxing.

Please keep in mind www.dual-boxing.com , thats our place, where every multiboxer meets and share/discuss ideas. On this site theres a nice Dual Boxing Wiki where u can search for faq's, or anything related to multiboxing.

Today i'll show u guys 2 solutions, that in the end, can be paired to greater success.
Synergy (free) and Keyclone (one time US$19.99 payment)

Im not here to advertise anything, neither i get something for speaking of these solutions.
I'll start by Synergy.



It's simple. Think of this scenario: u have 2, or more computers, with all the screens in front of u. Now imagine a tool, that basicaly is a virtual KVM, meaning, with the keyboard and mouse in front of ur main PC, u can drag the mouse to the right screen edge, et voilá, ur inside the other screen just to your right, and u can now use that same mouse and keyboard on that computer. U can even copy+paste text from one machine to the other. Ain't that handy ?
For Multiboxing, and since this program is open source, there was made a slight, but still huge, adition: A Broadcasting feature, wich means, u press "B" on ur main, and the slaves press "B" as well. U get the picture. Heres the link, courtesy of www.Dual-Boxing.com: http://www.dual-boxing.com/SynergyWBroad.zip

It's a free way of starting boxing, but it still requires one game per PC, since it wont broadcast to multiple clients on one pc :)


Now... Keyclone... This is the real deal. It lets u:

• use one single PC with multiple open WoW Clients and sends keystrokes to all of them
• split ur screen with maximizer, a tool that removes the windows edges and makes it look like tiny screens, inside one single screen
• broadcast keystrokes via lan to all machines in the network, and sending them to as many clients as u wish.
• one click, and it opens all wow's u want, working like a charm.

Not much to add tbh, this is the tool to have. It's $19.99 per copy, that means, even if u format ur disk, u get to activate it again, and again. Only usable one copy per machine. In months of playtime, the downtime of playing due to this software was less than 0.5%. Once u get it to work, it's an awesome tool.


Well, it's really a basic post, for more info visit the DB site, specially the Wiki.

Btw, thanks for the quantity of visits (that mmo-champion post <3)

New Shoulders

Weekly reset, and points available to buy new shoulders. Was only able to buy 2 shoulders because of PR, but it felt good anyways. It isn't something everyone can brag about, it feels good and is kinda mission accomplished for us.

Not much to add, this will be the last week of S4, me and Baía will do more arenas and try to push it but, it's going to be very hard, as everyone is trying to go for the top 10, Gladiator Title. We're still happy about what we've done so far, having in mind i dinged 70 when the season already started, while everyone was full with points and gear for the new season.

Some screenies, have a nice Wednesday :)

What everyone talks about on the realm forum: is this man good enough to wear these beautiful shoulders?



Beautiful shoulders smell so nice that even emplastro came...



S3 shoulders. Too bad every Druid, Warrior, Rogue, Warlock, has them.

Shaman Multiboxing Macros

I've been monitoring the visits to this blog, and most of them are searching for multiboxing macros and software/hardware.
So today i'll make an entry for macros.

Theres a good guide that helps out most ppl starting to box, and even the ones doing it, sometimes find something to add to their setup.

Ken's complete Shaman macro set is an extensive and detailed macro list for shammy boxers, and i would like to point out the most important ones, imo. A must have list, and then u add what u want.


Invite all

• Invite all characters into your group.
• Set this macro on 1 character.
• Pressing it once will invite all party members. Pressing it a second time will set loot to "free for all".

/invite Character1
/invite Character2
/invite Character3
/ffa

______________

Accept all

• This macro accepts all sorts of things like party, trade, quest and resurrect request.
• Set this macro on all characters.
• Place this in the "General Macros" tab. You can use it for other groups too.

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();
/script ConfirmAcceptQuest();
/script StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");
/script StaticPopup_Hide("QUEST_ACCEPT");

______________

Regular casts

Regular cast macro's are those who try to assist the current focus (if any) and then do a cast.

/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast (spell)

"(spell)" can be replaced by:

• Earth Shock
• Frost Shock
• Lightning Bolt
• Flame Shock

______________

These are the 3 most important to me, and tbh, i don't use much more than this, only some i figured out myself while playing and that i find to suite my needs.
