Dual-Boxing in WoW

[gangstagreen]

Hello.
This guide will show you how to setup Dual-boxing with Octopus (Playing 2 chars in one computer)
This program isn't "ilegal" which means blizzard won't ban you.
I had this on my computer, i edited some things to make it more readable



STEP ONE
Installing
Download Octopus
http://skarlot.net/octopus/octopus1.1.0.zip

Get .Net 3,5
If you dont have it download here :
Download details: .NET Framework 3.5
And install ofc.

STEP TWO
Setup the program
1).
Run octopus

2).
You will start on the tab Status, press the '...' key where it says Profile default.

3).
Remove the default profile, and press new, call it "wow" or something like that.

4).
Now press new at the instance place

5).
This is how it should look like

Name: wow1
Game: localhost:wow
Display: 1
Maximizer:
Topmost window
√ Recieve broadcast keys
Recieve broadcast clicks
Recieve broadcast cursor (1 per client)

Notice: add as many you want too, will depend on how many accounts you got.
So lets just say you got two, just add another one with same settings, and the name, wow2.


* 6
Now the Status tab is done, go to Server tab.
Keys;
Remember this is a BLACKLIST, so just add keys you dont want to be able to press in all your running games.
(If you want to use the /follow "tactic" ingame add q,w,e,a,s,d to the list)
Clicks;
This is the same as in Keys, just add left and right click, i'll do that.
Etc;
Just add things you dont want to press in all the games, guess you can manage this on your own.
* 7
Go to the client tab now, and go to Games.
Press New, and just write wow in the tag, and then press the '...' button, now find your wow folder and dubble click the Wow.exe and click ok.
Now it should look like this : C:\Programmer\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe or something in that way.
* 8
Now you're almost done. Go to the Status tab again..
Press Start.
Click on the button, Instances, and then on the Run all key..
Now it will open the x numbers of wow's you added in the 1st step, in my case two..

STEP 3 : Playing

* 1
When your games are opened up, write your login information's.
Now you will be online.
(In my case i just did this on a private server to show it)
* 2
Now you should me online on all your characters ingame (:
* 3
Now tab out to the Octopus program, and go to the tab Status.
In the Brodcast bar, check Keys, and clicks.
* 4
You're now done!

This guide only explains how to setup octopus, they hard part is to learn which macros to use and how to control it.

i really like this seems cools will try!

[T3h Sorrow]

change the title if you can to something like "Dual-Boxing (Octopus Setup) or something.

+rep though.

[angryclown]

nice post. very helpful. +rep

[mudfish]

Eh, not alot of detail. More of a setup guide. The title tells the reader "This guide will tell me how to dual-box" but your guide tells them how to barely setup octopus.

Put more time into it, assume your reader has no exp. with dual-boxing, and needs to be guided through it. If not, state 'this guide requires X amount of knowledge'

Just some things to think about to make your guide(s) higher quality.
