How do I set up dual boxing on 1 pc. I have 2 sets of CD keys , and I know I need to change the port settings. Exactly what steps do I need to do to get 2 copies of the game to run on 1 pc?
Thanks for the help in advance.

As a slight alternative to this I use the following method: • Make a copy of 'nwncdkey.ini' in your nwn folder and name it '001cdkey.ini'. Overwrite the contents with your new cdkeys. • Make a copy of 'nwnplayer.ini' in the nwn folder and name it '001player.ini'. Change 'Client Port' (increase by 1), change 'Player Name' to your second playername. If you have multiple cores I recommend specifying different cores for each ini file. For instance nwnplayer.ini has 'Client CPU Affinity=0' and 001player.ini has 'Client CPU Affinity=1'. download the following 2 exe's and place them both in your nwn folder: nwmain-169-hg-CD-FIXs.zipnwmain-hg-CD-FIXs-001.zipYou can now run both exe's, the 001 exe will always look at the 001 ini files so that is your alternative account. The other exe will look at the default nwn ini's. RooJ

My solution was taken from Hack's and other's using batch files. I have different versions of these ini files: - nwn.ini (I like my non-primary NWN windows to be smaller than my main NWN window; my wife doesn't like windowed mode at all; you also need to set up different log file folders if you care about your logs) - nwncdkey - nwnplayer (each one with a different port, and the different login credentials)
Then I have batch files that set up each ini file and then starts up NWN or ARF2, depending on if it's primary or not. Example batch code:
copy C:\NWN\nwn-large.ini C:\NWN\nwn.ini copy C:\NWN\nwncdkey-nvs.ini C:\NWN\nwncdkey.ini copy C:\NWN\nwnplayer-nvs.ini C:\NWN\nwnplayer.ini
start C:\NWN\arf2\arf2.exe And my wife's looks like this:
copy C:\NWN\nwn-max.ini C:\NWN\nwn.ini copy C:\NWN\nwncdkey-juel.ini C:\NWN\nwncdkey.ini copy C:\NWN\nwnplayer-juel.ini C:\NWN\nwnplayer.ini start C:\NWN\arf2\arf2.exe
If you try something like this and have any questions, I'd be happy to help.
