I just wanted this to be a thread for posting hotkeynet script lists. currently Im just modifying the sample script from their site, Ill post what I have with code boxes when I get home.

Freddie gives amazing support, up there with Tim and Lax, if you post on his site. On the other boxing site, there are three or four users who give strong HKN support especially if you post what you have (showing you made an effort) and then ask how you can make it do whatever.

Is freddie an admin on the hotkeynet forums?

He wrote HKN and is writing its successor, Mojo.

OH mkay thanks man, I've been using it and so far it's ok.

I don't think I could do more than two because it doesn't auto resize the windows and Ive only got two windows. I don't really feel like coding the auto resize in either.

The only problem I have is that my monitors are different sizes (i haven't read up on how to get them to the same resolution yet) so the cursor starts to get off course when I hit my mouse broadcast button oem3 (which modifies MB1 MB2 MB4 MB5 WU WD).

also when I use it, IWT (delete) doesn't work on the slave. that and I can't find a good way to have control added in the the mouse button script so I can press ctrl+MB1 without the pressing oem3

I sure I can find a guide for all of this especially the mouse broadcasting one which is on our site.

[Ualaa]

Pretty sure you can configure it, if you know how, to do just about anything you want.

I'd post your script on the other site, with what you're trying to do.
Give it the HKN tag, so people know what you're asking about.

Lets get Freddie posting here in this thread Ualaa, would be glad to see his thoughts.

I spoke to Freddie quit a bit in the past via email, would be nice to see how he is doing.

Heya,

I have been experimenting with HKN and PB working side by side for a few weeks now. These are my thoughts:

- "repeater regions"-ish: you can make that happen by using the MouseIsOverWindowRect function of hkn. what this does is whenever your mouse is over an area of your main screen and you activate a hotkey, it sends a click or key to any window you want. This is proving very useful for decursing because now I only need to focus on my main's screen and using grid/vuhdo/healbot see who is afflicted with a debuff, click on their avatar and it is cured through a click on my main's screen. A word of caution here: MouseIsOverWindowRect can send mouse coordinates to slave windows but that should NOT be used as it is against wow's TOS. PB 3.0 is poised to have something that will aleviate the need to do that but until then...

- Toggles: this is also a nifty feature. You can make a toggle key that will send one click at a time after each key is pressed. You can take this a step further and make another key that will toggle a state of keys. This is really cool as what it does is allow to change a state of a key based on what situation your team is in.
Example: my 2 key is my dps key. BUT, say for example i want to heal on my healer but keep dps on my dps. I made a toggle for key 1 that when toggled will switch the behavior of key 2 on my main. When i want to go into healing mode, I hit 1 then my 2 key will become the healing key on my healer (it will remap to the healing macro) while it will continue to send the dps rotation to my dps

Drawbacks:
- PB is more efficient, meaning response time to key broadcasting is better. At least based on what I have been seeing. So I use HKN solely to complement PB.

- PB is sooooooo much easier to use. The learning curve of HKN (and every other boxing software, i tried most of them) is a bit steep. Not to put a plug for PB here or anything, but it is by far the most user-friendly

Below is my HKN script. If you have questions, I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge

Well my only real problem is that the cursor on my main screen and the cursor on my left screen are not synced up. also even though I set it to delete, IWT does not work Im thinking its be cause its not on the list of things I have as hotkeys.

So, it looks like you're only using HKN for mboxing.

The mouse clicks don't sync up (i have the same issue with PBoxer) because the click is not mirrored on the location of the screen, if the windows are of different sizes. That's why it's better if you don't actually need the mouse to click on your slave to assign the mouse click on your main to act as a keypress on your slave
