What is multiboxing :
multiboxing is the art of playing multiple characters at the same time. we can do this thanks to software like HKN, wich broadcast our keystrokes to all our wow clients. we use also the Jamba addon to make things easier like flight path travel.
what you will need to start multiboxing :
-wow client (3.3.5)
-jamba addon (release 0.7b)
-mbxing software (HotKeyNet)
-at least two different wow accounts.
how to download HKN and setup :
https://github.com/nanpuhaha/HotkeyN...keynet_210.zip (from github, nanpuhaha)
open hotkeynet.zip and extract into a new folder.
copy paste HKN script (raw) into a new text file. save it as "script1"
https://gist.github.com/jonathanarge..._5_players-txt (from github, hkn script)
now launch HKN and then click "load script". search for the "script1" you just created.
HKN will now say or not if there is any errors within the script. if there is any errors, you will need to correct them otherwise it will not work. this script will need aslo a couple more things to rewrite. (more on that later)
open your wow folder, copy paste the wow folder adress into the script. for me, it looks like this :
<Run "D:GamesWoW 3.3.5 USWow.exe">
now save the script, reload it and try launching the game to see if it works (with alt ctrl L).
at this point you should have 5 wow clients popping up. to rename them, use ctrl r. now the 5 wow client are correctly named "wow1" "wow2" etc.
login with your two accounts or more and try doing something simple like using mount. if the mount is set on the same key on all of your character and the HKN is running and on, all should mount at the same time. if not, check if HKN hotkeys are on or not. a red cross is shown when its off.
You are now multiboxing two or more client at the same time congratz.
To setup Jamba addon :
first download from curseforge the file for 3.3.5 (release 0.7b)
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/jamba/files/all
then unzip/put in the addon folder in your wow directory. (interface/addons)
In game, type : /jamba and change the following :
loot --> free for all
team display -> you have to put the same character name on all your slaves jamba accounts. on each of your seperate windows, make sure the same name is set as master : click add name, then set as "master" click push settings.
Quest Watcher : enable or disable // hide blizzard objectives uncheck it. (my preference)
jamba proc : you can disable it.
jamba item use : show on master only. this is usefull for stuff like heartstone

looking forward to trying this guide out. is multiboxing something that can be done on two separate computers using HKN and Jamba? IE - i want WoW1 on one computer, and WoW2, WoW3, WoW4 and WoW5 all on a second computer? both computers would be sitting beside each other in same room, but two separate computers and separate monitors.
thanks.

As long as both computers are on the same network that is doable with minor hkn tweaks. Also, there is way better starter guides than the one shown in this thread.

What is the point ? i guess it's doable but multiboxing on a single computer is more efficient
-

Not helpful. this is a guide to have people start multiboxing in a simple manner. posting critics has nothing to do with it. you want to improve the guide ? feel free to add meaningful information below

Thank you both for your responses.
The point is so I can. Basically that's it. But again thank you for your response, and thank you for your guide! Looking forward to learning about multiboxing.What is the point ? i guess it's doable but multiboxing on a single computer is more efficient
I will take a look, thanks!As long as both computers are on the same network that is doable with minor hkn tweaks. Also, there is way better starter guides than the one shown in this thread.

Just sharing information as I answer my own questions:
2 computer (one is server and one is client), settings in HKN:
* server computer - Options, Connection Settings, "Yes" to Are you connecting PC's?, and "Server" to this PC is a . . .
* client computer(s) - Options, Connection Settings, this time "Yes" and "Client"
* in the server computer's connection settings, jot down "this PC's IP address" at the bottom. (ie - 192.168.whatever). I tend to turn my server computer off so to avoid my router assigning another internal IP address to it, i went into my router and reserved an internal IP address for the MAC address of my server.
* in the client computer's connection settings, add your server's IP address in the box that says Server's IP address.
* i am assuming communication b/w server and client HKN is one-way (from server to client), but both seem to acknowledge each other in the main window's Connected PC's box.
* for both computers, I went into Windows Defender Firewall and allowed HKN through the Windows firewall
* so now the server computer's HKN shows connection to 1 client, and the client's HKN shows connection to the server.
Yes I know. Why do this when my multi-core CPU/RAM-mountain computer can run it all by itself? Again, because I just want to. Seems pretty neat to try. I'll post more as I go. Thanks again!
