[answered] PwnBoxer doesn't work at all

[noamchomsky]

Hi! I just purchased PwnBoxer this week and it doesn't work at all. I'm running:

PwnBoxer 02.02.021501
Windows XP SP3
wow 3.3.5a (private server)
trying to run 3 games

ISSUE #1
PwnBoxer will open just fine, but when I click "Start All Games" at the bottom left, nothing appears to happen except the PwnBoxer window loses focus and the title bar turns gray. Then, when I close PwnBoxer Windows Explorer crashes and all open programs crash (e.g. MS Word, Firefox, etc.).

I've also tried right-clicking window #1 and then left-clicking "Start This Game". Same thing as above. Nothing but a gray title bar followed by Windows Explorer crash upon exiting PB.

I have a very stable system: no blue screens, no Windows Explorer crashes apart from PB and no random restarts. The WoW private server runs fine when as long as PB isn't involved. Also, I can run 5 separate clients on this box using another multiboxing program.

How do I fix the software please?

ISSUE #2
There is no way to edit the "Number Of Games" at the top left. There's no drop-down box, up/down arrows, and I can't click in the field to edit that number either. How do I edit this number please? Thanks.

Take a look at this post. It should help you out.

That fixed 1 issue, thanks! However, after exiting the previous version of PwnBoxer I still experience the occasional Windows Explorer crash and all other windows are then closed.

Question 1: is there any way to do a round robin for certain key presses? So the first time I press the button I'd like it to be sent to window #1. The second time I press it window #2 would get it, and so on.

Question 2: can I keymap mousewheel up and down? I see that I can check a box to broadcast those commands, but can I keymap them please? Thanks!

noted the above is likely a short term fix as pwnboxer 3+ may not support windows xp at all due to it's age and microsoft having officially retired retail support for winxp over two years ago. the long term fix would most likely be updating to a newer edition of windows like windows 7

Understood. I hope the developers would put such a disclaimer on the purchase page to warn potential customers.

Is PwnBoxer 2.5 still schedule to come out about 10 days after June 2, 2011 as previously announced?

Also, where can I seek answers to the previous 2 questions above? Thanks!

The round-robin is a feature that is supposed to be included in the next generation of PB.
Not sure on the ability to map the scroll wheel on the mouse.

The mouseupdown I didn't think to add that to the keymaps, good idea.

The round robin is actually done being developed, I use it myself, and will be in the next PB released. Gotta test this stuff hardcore + add some more features.
