How I rox my box

After reading Eternalsith's post I thought of writing one myself about keyclone and how I run my Pally/Shammy duo.

First off I'll tell you how to setup keyclone.
When you run keyclone you'll see a setup button. Go ahead and click that. The main thing you want to edit here is do-not-pass.
I check the strict and white-list because I would rather let keyclone know what keys I want to let pass through then the one's I don't. To add key strokes just click the and key em in.
Simple right? Good. When your done with that make sure you got both WoW windows up and just click the Add button then click your WoW window and then repeat for WoW window 2.
Then click Connect. If this is getting confusing then just google keyclone
setup or contact me.

Ok so we got keyclone setup. Now there are a few more things I do in order to make my box'n life a whole lot easier.

1. Sloppy focus. This is a term I recently learned about from Fly. It pretty much means when you move your mouse
over a window, that you don't have selected, that window will come up automatically. So say I'm playing in WoW window 1 and
want WoW 2 to heal/attack/whatever I would just move the mouse over WoW 2 and push the button, no need to click WoW
2 then push the button. May not seem like much but it helps when your box'n.

Sloppy focus setup for Win 7.

*Creds go to guides and tutorials I found online. Can't remember where but props to you my friend(s).

First off go to Start->Control Panel then Ease of Access. Click Change how your mouse works. Then check the Activate a
window by hovering over it with the mouse.

Second I found that the time delay was too long. I wanted it to be instant so I wasn't waisting time.
Go Start-> and in the search progs area type regedit. Now don't hold me responsible if you mess up your registry
if you don't know what your doing then don't do it :D.

Where you want to go is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Control Panel
Desktop
and in Desktop find ActiveWndTrkTimeout
right click and click modify...

go to the decimal, the default is 250 I believe. I changed mine to 15. This is only for when I play WoW you can
change the settings back at anytime.

Note that if you want the changes of the registry to take effect you must log out and then log back in. No need to restart just a
re-login will do.

2. Key-binding and Keyclone white-list. This is where you really need to focus. My keybindings are pretty simple.

Shift+F = Shammy follow Pally.
Shift+S = Shammy Backs up and out of follow. (no bindings needed just add shift+s to the whitelist)
Shift+1 = Shammy drops totem set 1.
Shift+R = Shammy earth shield on Pally.
Shift+D = Shammy casts healing wave on Pally.
etc

This is just to give you an idea and help you out. The first two I find very important. I can just have the shammy follow me and when i enter combat hit shift+s and then shift+1 and shammys in healing position.
You don't want to follow the entire time because if the main moves then casting is impossible for toon 2.
This is all stuff you'll learn as you go but thought this might help a little.

  1. another helpful suggestion for newbies at boxing would be to check out the addon Jamba... it was created specifically to automate cumbersome tasks when multiboxing. automatic follow the leader, auto quest accept, all toons take the same flight path, auto sell grays, auto purchase items, low health / follow break warnings and lots more.
