Another 'method 2' thread.

[Ezmfpz]

G'day all,

I have been sifting through some threads in regards to the method 2 mouse broadcasting to try and eliminate the problem I'm having with it besides 'don't use it' or 'use it sparingly'. I don't know how much you want to confirm or deny, Tim, but this may warrant looking in to for a future update? As it seems to be a fairly common problem.

I will be having a look into HKN when I get back from my next work shift to see if I can use that in place of PB for the time being.

I'm sure you all have seen enough of the like already, but just in case you've been living under a rock for the past bazillion years, I've included some screen shots. As you can see it works fine for clicking xperl.

Edit: They were all set to 'camera 4' prior to any action being taken.

Method 2 is very experimental, that is why I tell everybody to use method 1, and use it myself.

[Ezmfpz]

I'm aware of that, and it's something I will need to look at. I've only started boxing recently, so the control is something that I'm still getting used to, I guess. There are a few things I'll read up on when I get home from work.

It might be an idea to either remove Method 2, or give it a pop-up dialogue box (while in the configuration screens) stating it is experimental and that Method 1 is recommended.

Just a thought.

If I recall, I think Pwnboxer does mention Method 2 is experimental.

Correct. It does work for a lot of people, but it varies based upon your OS patch level, different AV types and updates that are installed, specific mouse driver that people are using, things like that.

I just tell people to use method 1 because it is awesome if method 2 isn't perfect for them. However, method 2 is tagged for PB 3.0 to get worked on.

I have been using method 1, and I can say that it has not been working for me as well as it has been reported. My main issue (I have 2 monitors) is that sometimes the mouse does not return to my master's screen (monitor 1), instead it gets stuck on my mage's screen (lower right quadrant of monitor 2). In tough fights, it is a BIG nuisance as there is little room for error. In Wrath, this was not a real issue for me, I rarely even used it. But in Cata, where AOE is crucial in some fights, I need this functionality more than ever. Has any experienced what I just described ?

I want PWNBoxer 3.0 BAD !

[Tim]

Never seen that myself, but if you are moving your mouse/clicking while the mouse is in the middle of doing its thing, that could cause issues.

[Janus]

nope, it does it even with the cursor not moving

Could you maybe try and test this out a bit, see if you can nail down exactly how to reproduce it? I ask because I've used it a billion times and its really smooth, and this is probably one of the most used features of Pwnboxer, so I figure a ton of people would let me know if they saw the issue.

Try and see if you can nail down exactly how to replicate it step by step so I can do it, which would help a ton in fixing any issues.

Thanks
