LOTRO is pretty fun. I got kinda annoyed with all the "buy this" advertisements everywhere though. I was doing a 6 class team, fun stuff.

It doesnt seem any different from the way Dugneons and Dragons Online does it on the advertisement, and that i got used to pretty quick to be honest :P

On a sidenote, Currently the key and mouse broadcasting does not work for LOTRO, but its something i think i can fix so added it to my TODO for pwnboxer. An updated version should be out in a short while (think 2-3 weeks) considerng the things me and tim want added/changed and the time it will take. At that point i will again test LOTRO and reply to this thread with current status, so make sure you keep an eye out or subscribe to it

The trick is to convince the windows that they are in the foreground. This is what ISboxer does, but I don't know the specifics on how it is done. Another issue may be the launcher.

Would be sweet if PWNboxer works with LOTRO in the future.

(all this talk of lotro is making me want to play it!)

Its definitly not launchers, i got 2 games running, managed by pwnboxer, switching windows, removing borders, resizing, all that stuff.

Just need to change some things for the next build for pwnboxer to actually work with these 'i need foreground' games properly

Hi All,

I am also interested in multiboxing with Lotro.
Hopefully you can get it working soon.

Hi Guys,

Any luck with the development? I suspect it is harder than expected?

I don't know the specifics of IS Boxer, but I know a bit of the basics.

IS Boxer runs on Inner Space.
Inner Space runs between Windows and whatever game you're running.
It acts like a layer between the game and the operating system, so the game can be forced to think whatever.

Even if the game is not the foreground window, because it is connected to the OS through Inner Space, it can be made to think that it is.

Not saying you cannot find a workaround that will work with Pwnboxer.
Just saying, I believe this is how it is done with IS Boxer/IS.

Any news on how the programming is going?
