First off, a special thanks to boroie for telling me how to make this work, as I was previously unable to get more than 1 instance of HGX running.
I'm guessing most of the veteran multiboxers know how to do this already, but I figured I'd make a thread so that newer players like myself can have an easy source for how to run HGX on every client when multiboxing.
First off, you'll want to have the HG modified executable installed. hackenslay made a thread with an easy to use installer, you just download it and run it after a fresh install of NWN Diamond and you'll get the modified HG executable as well as the required CEP files: highergroundpoa.proboards.com/thread/25471/easy-install-higher-ground
Next you may or may not want to head over to wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/HG_Enhanced and scroll down to Downloading section for additional quickchats, which is great for things like quickly activating your Autocaster without having to open inventory or quicksloting it (by default it's V, V, A in the extended quickchat menu once installed), or adding custom commands to the quickchat menu, like activating defensive casting, improved expertise, etc, or canceling aoe effects.
1 - Once you have your first client set up, you'll want to copy it as many times as you have accounts... For instance, I currently have 7 accounts total, so I have 7 separate install folders of NWN Diamond.
2 - Copy the HGX folder into each of the install folders like so:
3 - Change the nwn.ini, nwncdkey.ini and nwnplayer.ini files in each install folder. Each folders' nwncdkey.ini needs its own separate valid cdkey, and you'll want to enable windowed mode in nwn.ini. Lastly, you'll need to change the Client CPU Affinity to "-2" and the game port number for each client in the nwnplayer.ini file:
4 - Next you'll need to download this in order to edit the database for each install folder's copy of HGX.
5 - Open database, navigate to the first folder and change the path to coincide with the path of each install folder and to the modified HG executable.
Once you're done editing, press "ctrl + s" to save and click the red X that says "Close Database", then repeat the process for each install folder.
6 - You're done! For ease of use, you can create a new folder and create shortcuts of each install folder's HGX executable and put them in 1 folder, so you don't have to go into each folder to open every client, like so:
