Mouse Broadcasting with HKN

[hodnee]

I just figured I should share this article as it is info on HKN. I found it very useful in clearing up some questions I had about Repeater regions. Hope it helps.

I am thinking of giving it a try.

Does it ABSOLUTELY conform to the World of Warcraft's EULA ?

Well, at no point does Warcraft ever say mouse broadcasting is allowed. However, it specifically says you cannot choose the coordinates where your mouse will broadcast; as in you are limited to having the mouse in the same relative position on each screen.

This is a feature which thousand of users (GC Pro, HKN, IS Boxer, possibly others) have been using for several years without any issues.

The only difference between a Repeater Region broadcast and any other mouse broadcast is that it is enabled automatically when the mouse is within a given region. Broadcasting being enabled does not do anything in and of itself. It is the clicks that do things, and each click causes a single action (be it a spell or a step of a healing macro tied to that click) in immediate response to the event (click, shift click, scroll wheel up, etc).

I tried to follow the instructions the OP gave with build 208. Nothing worked. Got error messages... Is that the right build to use ?

Another question I have is : is there an addon that allows me to decurse, beside decursive. I want to make use of HKN trigger (if I ever get it to work) and decursive does not exact ways to position the GUI on the screen. Does any of the others do ? I figure it would be easier to code into HKN

Not sure on Decursive.

I've only seen Repeater Region healing, or decursing which works the same, via one of:
a) Grid + GridCustomLayouts + Clique (all three of these)
b) Healbot (stand alone)
c) Vuhdo (stand alone)

The key is an alphabetical sort, so the frames are the same on every screen.
And then the click interpretation tool of choice (Clique, Healbot, Vuhdo).

As far as the HKN support; I can direct you to the other site where people who use it know how it works. Khatovar has given exceptional support, and Freddie (the author of HKN, HKN2, Mojo) frequents the other site too.

But my software handles mouse broadcasting extremely well, so I don't actually use HKN at all, myself.
