Dual Boxing Assistance?

[Deleted]

Can someone help me set up some sort of dual boxing system as my laptop has decided to retire. 

[Raj]

Did you read the instructions here, and obviously the feedback here ?

[Deleted]

Yes.

I've changed my batch files several times since then, to make things simpler and more foolproof.

Here's the newest version:

@echo off
setlocal

::copy our files to the nwnplayer files
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\hackenslay.ini c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwnplayer.ini
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\hackenslay.cdkey c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwncdkey.ini

start c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain-169-hg.exe

The other rules still apply: Change the ClientPort in the [Profiles] section so every playername is running on a different port. Make sure windowed mode is enabled and turned on(if not Alt-Enter will toggle it), and don't vote twice or take 2 turns at the loot split.

Tried this but everytime i get the NWN has stopped working error.

[hackenslay]

Are you using Acaos' modified executable and changing the ClientPort?

[Deleted]

Yes and not sure, i think i may give this a pass haha. Hurting my brain:L

[hackenslay]

Okay, I'll go through it with as much detail as I can manage, as you aren't the first to have trouble with this(and probably won't be the last.)

Open nwnplayer.ini in Notepad(not Wordpad, it adds extra formatting)

Then click File->Save as->m4l4dl3.ini(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"


Go down to the [Profile] section and find the line "Client Port=5121" and change it to "Client Port=5122"

Then, also in the [Profile] section, look for this block:

Player Name=m4l4dl3
Email Address=[e-mail]
Password=mypassword


and change it to match your second account:

Player Name=chainlink
Email Address=[e-mail]
Password=mydadspassword

(just kidding bud, no worries)

Then click File->Save as->chainlink.ini(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"


Click File->Open... then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"

Click on the "nwncdkey.ini" and click "Open"

Then click File->Save as->m4l4dl3.cdkey(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"

Change the cd key in this file to the cd key in your alternate account, or if you have another nwncdkey.ini with the alternate cd key then navigate to the folder containing the alternate cd key and open that file.

Then click File->Save as->chainlink.cdkey(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"

After that, click File->New->

Copy and paste this code into the new file:

@echo off
setlocal

::copy our files to the nwnplayer files
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\m4l4dl3.ini c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwnplayer.ini
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\m4l4dl3.cdkey c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwncdkey.ini

start c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain-169-hg.exe




Then click File->Save as->m4l4dl3.bat(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"

@echo off
setlocal

::copy our files to the nwnplayer files
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\chainlink.ini c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwnplayer.ini
copy c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\chainlink.cdkey c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwncdkey.ini

start c:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain-169-hg.exe




Then click File->Save as->chainlink.bat(then click the selection box and change it from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" and click "Save"

Firstly, i have my own accounts.

Just reinstalling NWN first as the folders were messy and clogged up with random stuff i dont remember getting.
Will see if it works this time round.

Thanks a bunch Hack .. working fine, now all i need to do is figure out how to minimize the screens.

The suggested alt+enter just takes me to my desktop.

[Torin]

nwn.ini
[Display Options]
AllowWindowedMode=1
FullScreen=0

[Deleted]

There's no AllowWindowedMode= Option for me

Then add that line.

Thanks for all the assistance folks he's got it fully functional now, I should get mine sorted so I don't have to fire up two machines all the time.

[Hercules]

You mean to tell me he fires up 8? machines then?
Would love to see a screenshot of that "dungeon" of yours...
