Everquest Multiboxing

[Lord Hoth]

So I want to use this software to multibox with Everquest I, but everytime I try running the game, all the screen error except for one.

Can anyone help with this problem?

You'll need to provide more information about the error (screenshot, exact error text, steps to reproduce, etc.) and include how you've configured Pwnboxer.

You might also check out the launcher based games thread (post #3 discusses how to configure).

Hey,

Alrighty so the error I'm getting is the one if your running Everquest in to high of a screen resolution (even though I have my resolution turned down on both my monitors to meet Everquest resolution requirements). I get that error on all windows except for one, which open in full screen on just one monitor (like how I would launch the game without running any boxing software).

So the most success I got running the game was by making a .bat file to execute my shortcut to Everquest. I would put the .bat file as the target for my game in the game path area. This would successfully launch the game through the shortcut, but I would still bump the game to full screen and not windowed mode, but I was able to get one game running in each monitor.

I know this is a known issue with Everquest about not being able to run it in windowed mode without third party software. But pwnboxer does not seem capable of forcing Everquest into windows mode like other software like wineq and EQwin can.

Additionally, I read the link to the post you sent me, but do not get the "Do not launch, attach to process instead and Program exe-name settings to use Pwnboxer with launcher-based games" part. I found the "Do not launch, attach to process instead" box, but I am unsure of what to put in Program exe-name.


Also I am running dual 23 inch monitors if that makes a difference........and I copy and pasted my computer specs at the bottom if that helps at all........

Thanks bunches,
Lord Hoth

Saw Tim come on here and answer two topics above and below this thread, but not my question.

Odd?

[Poyzon]

Yes, Tim is odd.

[LindlineOLD]

Sometimes Tim doesnt have all the answers.

When youre attaching a process, you want to attach it to the file thats listed as the game in your task manager (ie wow.exe for World of Warcraft). Just pop in the file path to that executable.

[Lord Hoth]

So do I paste the whole game path to the executable from C: to the .exe or do I just paste the exe in the process. I tried both and the game wouldn't launch at all.

[LindlineOLD]

It needs to be the whole filepath. Also, I believe you have to use the "Start Game" option after you manually launch the game.

[Lord Hoth]

I spent like 2 hours messing around with this yesterday and could get nothing to work..........can't believe this software will not work with a game that came out in '99.............

Most people build their software for games that are commonly played now.
And then try to adapt them, so they'll play other existing games or newer games as they come onto the market.
Not saying that PB won't run EQ1.

I know AHK, GCP, HKN, KC and Octopus will not run EQ1. IS Boxer will, but that's not saying others won't as well. Some of the games attempt to resize, and other games will only run if the window is the focused window; IS Boxer can run both of these types of games.
