Default First time multiboxing and I'm struggling!

First things first, I'm on a mac, so I can't use pwnboxer
That's probably the reason I'm having these issues.. but anywho!

My problem is involved with the only free mac key broadcaster I could find; CloneKeys.

It's broadcasting, as it should, however, when I type on my main, my alt says exactly the same thing. How do I turn that off or stop that from happening?

Also, I haven't made any macros yet but I just went on the alt window and did a simple /follow, and it started following my main (as it should). Then, as I started moving on the main, the alt stopped following and started moving as if I was controlling it. Which didn't really help because it was running slightly too far, so defeated the whole purpose.

Thirdly (and finally), if anybody has some basic macro tips or a link to a site that has simple/basic macro guides, that'd be fantastic!

Any help would be much appreciated

Hey there,

As far as I know, that is what it does. It is really basic in features, but does the core broadcasting.

Unfortunately not many people use Macs who multibox, so the support there just isn't anywhere near what it is on the PC :/

Could you run Parallels and box from there?

Can you run a windows emulator, and use one of the window based programs?

Guess that could work, the system would need to be pretty fast though to support the emulated windows on top of the multiple wows open. But surely that would be helpful. Also check into the clonekeys commands, if theres a help file somewhere in the install, there may be a way to map only certain keys and a toggle for them.

The other option would be to buy a PC.

I figured that since there were no options in CloneKeys, and as first reply said, there's almost nobody who multiboxes on a mac, I ended up looking for ways to mute/silence chat.

So I unbound 99% of the key binds on the slave account, meaning it can't talk unless directly clicked on the chat box

Problem solved!

why do that when you can just dual boot OSX/Windows, then run it natively?

the only thing that needs to happen in that case is to get a separate Windows license, which can be somewhat expensive, but still.....

Me too.

I know a few people mentioned running Windows on a Mac, specifically for IS Boxer.
Didn't know you could have Windows on a Mac without an emulator.

Anyway, Windows opens up all the PC boxing options.
Which are stronger boxing choices in general, and a lot more options to choose from.

Macs have had intel processors for years now xD

So you can dualboot them no problem!
