Hello I Require a basic guide to setting up pwnboxer (from the start ie just registered it opened it now what) i just want to start with 2 toons holy pally (or ret) and a dk tank

[Ualaa]

Sorry not a Pwnboxer user, so not really sure.

I would suggest checking out videos on this, both on the Pwnboxer site (probably be some there) and on Youtube.

If you are still looking for help on a text base.

1. Open pwnboxer, At the very top left select number of games 2.

2. In the little red boxes just under that (these contain options for each game (in your case 2)) Click the 3 little dots next to the 'enter game path' box, and direct that to your wow.exe in your wow folder.

3. Enable battle.net login. I personaly don't use this because i thought it was to auto fill the login area (but it isnt in my case. Although i may be doing something wrong)

4. Enable CPU Affinity : To my knowlage this is to choose if you want that version of the game to use a set ammount of cores. e.g my quad core machine could have 4 games running on 4 seperate cores and my main 1 using all of them.

5. Apply graphics level: Pretty self explanitory it just sets the graphics to low medium or high. Note! In game these may show up under the ULTRA option on the graphics bar but if you look some options are set to 'custom'

6. Okay out that menu

Setting up the windows

1. You should see 1 or 2 windows now depending on if you have 1 or 2 monitors. And 2 different coloured boxes inside.

2. If you want to have 1 wow on each screen right click on these boxes and choose send to screen 2.

3. If you are running both on one screen you can click the edges of the boxes and drag to resize them and you can change the grid size / Snap to grid just above the windows.

Setting up what keys broadcast

1. Make sure Enable Key Broadcasting is checked. And then click Configure keys.

2. Now you will have a basic setup that broadcasts (presses the same key on each game) from F1 - 12 1 - 12 and so on. Personally i set up my own keys and add to them when i need more.

3. To set up your own keys, Click custom 1 / 2 and choose the Use this configuration box.

Now you have 2 options, you can either choose what keys NOT to broadcast
Or
Broadcast only these keys

I use Broadcast only these keys.

4. Choose your option and then click the Add new key text in the box to the right.
You can now start adding what keys you want to broadcast or witch ones you don't want it to.

You can also do things like hold shift and press 1 to make the game broadcast Shift+1 and so on.

Other options

For most of the other stuff i leave as standard because im on a PVE server and the times when i die its only ever by mobs. So im in no panic to get another screen up.

However you can set a key to switch your other window to be the main window by clicking the Configure fast game switch button (and checking the box next to it) Just choose your desired key to press when you want to switch and hey presto.

I can't offer any help to mouse broadcasting because of the group i run. But in a nutshell this will make it so you can click your button on your main guy and mouse around and the toon will click in the same area (im pretty sure, sorry if this is wrong) with the spell.

Dockable clickmapping i have no idea on sorry.

Autofocus game on hover over i presume means that when you mouse over the background game it makes it more clear (again not to sure about this and can't test it because my second monitor is being used else where)

Enable running game windows movement. This basically means you can have your games running and if you want to make the second window smaller you can just change it around inside pwnboxer and it will happen in real time, instead of having to close the games and resize them and start again.

Once you have set everything up click start all games and you should hopefully be all ready to go.
