Multiboxing on one PC

[chainlink]

Yes I currently run more than one account however I'd like to move to the real world and not have these on multiple screens via multiple PCs, I have batch files to run the accounts but whats the best way to get them to display on the same screen so I'm not constantly doing the tennis thing of following the ball from one to the next?

FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1

and just alt+enter to make em small windows...?

or do i miss what you're asking..?

I once wrote this: wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Multiboxing
Maybe that helps.

One PC and multiple clients is the best way to do it Way to go Chain!

I use 3 screens on 1 PC and run everything in windowed mode, i changed the ports and of course use different cd keys, i have the modified nwnmain.exe that allows you to run multiple clients from multiple directories (can give you that if you would like) and use the version of hgx that can also run on multiple clients at the same time and it looks like this



if this is what youre going for just hit me up in game and i can help with setup

I was gonna post "pictures or it didn't happen", but then you posted a picture! That's a pretty fun setup!

I do something pretty similar. I use a different directory for each account and use multiple monitors as well. I use batch files to copy settings depending on if it is primary or secondary playing account. The primary has quality settings and the secondary are just plain jane (i.e. 800x600, low graphics settings).

I run 3-7 clients on one 40" TV myself. I'd die using more than one screen.

How in the name of all that is holy do you lot keep up with everything going on on that many clients? I have issues with a single character at a time lol.

i never know myself, it is difficult, i wouldn't even want to think of playing two casters! when i multi box it is a toon i play with and one that charges in to tank/keep the mobs buizy

Tru3Fals3 thats one interesting setup, kudos for creativity on the top screen haha

Im used to running 7 screens on a singular 27inch monitor, i think the 4k aspect ratio helps, with some custom sizing only just get a few overlaps on the screen

[Tru3Fals3]

haha yeah i use an old electric cheese grater box to sit the 3rd monitor on!
i considered the huge single montior approach but ive done the multi screen thing for so long i cant handle a comp setup without 3 screens anymore

when i started playing it was on a different server that was pvp focused so doing it here is actually easier, prefer not to run so many but in my timezone its hard to do what i want without it
