Dark Age of Camelot

[bharmanswy]

Can anyone clarify if "PWNBOXER" works with DAoC? And if not Tim do you plan on adding DAoC to the pwnboxer list?

[ollee]

It most likely will, the tileing might not work perfectly, but it SHOULD...when I get home ill scrounge around and find my old DAoC discs(yes my account is still active....^_^) and see if I can get it to load in for yah....

Thanks Ollee

Okay, officially, I can not get Pwnboxer to work with Dark Age of Camelot.

DAoC is launcher required.
Pwnboxer will latch to the game task('game.dll' ewwwww), and even latch to multiple.
DAoC does not allow live window resizing(cause mythic is lazy),
However I can get pwnboxer to clearly attempt to manipulate the window's size(though it just cuts the window down)
DAoC only has one(1) windowed mode size.
DAoC only allowed 2 instances of the game to be run on the same computer at any one time(though im told there is a way to allow 4 to run, but im not sure)

I think thats it. Tim, this is the 6th person I've had contact me about DAoC and working with Pwnboxer. If you could please apply this to the magical list of things that kinda sorta maybe eventually get finished, thatd be wonderful. Thanks.

Hey Ollee!

Okay so let me see here a sec...

First, can you configure DAOC to run in windowes mode before using Pwnboxer? So start it up, make it windowed mode, then exit it or whatever to save the settings.

Then try everything again?

Also, if DAOC forces only 2 games to be allowed at one time, I am guessing the game itself scans your computer and looks for process list information. There really wouldn't be any legitimate/legal way around that without breaking potential tos/eula/copyright laws as it would require deep game hacking which of course we don't want to do.

Yes, however the windowed mode innate is only 800x600ish(im not exactly sure the size) and does not support live transformations of the window's resolution. [QUOTE]

When I did this(already set into windowed mode) and pwnboxer tried to set the window resolution automatically, it just cut off the size of the actual game(instead of resizing) and i had to restart to get it back)

Apparently, Mythic is ok with multiboxing on daoc, just they dont go out of their way to support it in any way shape or form(apart from the onboard macro system)

But I'm not severely familiar with the system.

It should be doable with PB, as IS:B has run multiple DAoC clients without issue. Another user has posted successfully using HotKeyNet for boxing DAoC.

An issue here is that I've been so busy lately to try and get a bunch of random games and test things out.

Any volunteers?

i think the only thing that mes's it up is when pwnboxer trys to resize the windows, maybe an option to untick resizeing or something
