You know, if it's a simple bug fix and it gets done, go ahead and wipe it. No sense blowing people's minds once the problem is resolved.

Thanks for the help guys. I was under the impression it had to do with how Tim was manipulating key presses/events.

Sub-issue resolved.

ahh.. ok, you just want my first example in the 'What should this do' thread - namely have pwnboxer treat all games equally where remapping is concerned and NOT pass the original key press through to the primary game.

If you had that you wouldn't need the recursive mapping as you'd just create game appropriate mappings for each game/account so if game 3 is your wife's account, you could still hit the '1' to remove all your toons clothes like you always have, even though her key mapping requires you to hit 'Ctrl+Alt+Del'

EDIT: I really need to check that I've gotten to the end of the thread before hitting 'Reply'. Muffin has already correctly identified the underlying issue.

Exactly, with the one caveat that I have the OPTION to pass the original should I be on my own game, and the option to not broad cast it but remap it to the same game/different key should I be on the wife's account.

Should be just a tweak.

The combination of the current key mapping & separate profiles will give you that. Key mapping (not key broadcasting) is already any to any so you just have to configure sequences for each game that could be in the main window.

According to the EULA...

You can play your account.
And any of your kids can also play that account.
Your wife or anyone else playing this account is a violation.

Your wife can play her account.
And any of your kids can also play that account.
You or anyone else playing this account is a violation.



To not get caught, you'd want all four accounts in your name.
That way, if you're playing all four at once, there won't be issues.
Also, since children are allowed to play the accounts of their parents, as long as Blizz never learnt an adult (your wife or friend) is playing one of your accounts, your rear is covered.
