Multiclienting problems

[Afkphone]

Hi there.
I am trying to bot KS using 4 chars,2 for farming and other 2 sitting in residence just to give them party.But my PC seems not good enough to run 4 clients on minimal settings.Sooner or later some of them crash.I didnt have that problem with 2 clients running.I would like to know if there is a way to do KS with 2 chars and both of them farming and givin party to each other at the same time.Would need smth that will make the char wait for the other char until his bagpack is full and both leave inistance at same time,or a time point at which the chars will leave party and reunite outside...,starting the new run etc.
Is that possible?

Well if only using 2 you could party them but the instance ID would be the same for both chars, so if they both went into KS then they would both be together killing same mobs. From experience that doesn't work out to be double the gold/hour.

I would look at running them in different instance, do 1 KS the other Cyclops maybe. Then just need to comunicate when to drop party and such.

It could get complicated.

I thought so.How about adding a 3rd char? A way to make 3rd one inviting those 2 when they finish farm? In theory sounds doable but dunno how it works in practise:s

it's possible, little more complicated but in the end you will be saving the time it takes to go from respawn point back into instance.

Hmmm I think best way for you to get the most from both chars is to create an addon and run 2 different instance, just need the addon to communicate between the 2 chars.

I might do some thinking on it as I think others might want something similar.

I thought u had to be in a party before entering the instance to make the reset work

that is correct, so what I am saying is both chars in the party will enter the same instance ID and kill the same mobs just like any other party. The gold/hour never adds up to double what 1 char can do.
2 chars in different instances though, 1 clops and 1 KS can add to double gold/hour to 1 char but will take some clever coding to make it work without issues.

i did that like 2 years ago :>

made the KS bot whisper the CL bot when he finnished, and then the KS bot w8ed for a respond from the CL bot, and when they both had heard from each other it they left and reseted

[Afkphone]

That's sounds nice I wonder why none have thought about it before

Well, party you can reset instantly. Otherwise, if solo, you have to wait 5 minutes for another run till instance resets.

please post your machines specs

i used to run 8x windows with high lvl and geared chars one one machine for KS
and 8x idle lowlevel chars on the other machine (my file server)


bigmachine: amd x6 1055t 6x2,8GHz, 4x4GB RAM, ati hd5770,

server: amd x4 II 640 4x3GHz, 2x4GB RAM,ATI Radeon HD 4290 onboard shared memory 512MB, etc pp (dual ethnernet nic, backup unit, raid pcie controller)

@Germangold How much money did u make per day ?

[Nero]

Well, that would explain alot - your PC is a monster


One thing that might help a bit is adding

Code: Select all

sendMacro("ViewDistanceSlider_SetValue(1);");

to your WP - it sets your view distance to 1, which is impossible to do in-game, and should help a bit - but the difference is small

i earn with ks only approx 8*4-5kk per day ~36kk

due to the extreme inflation its only worth 1000 Diamonds
before chapter iv its was like 2500 diamonds

i had 4 machines to of them farming golden eggs
1 for ks other my server

i sold my 2 "egg farming" machines since the farmes get banned within a week

i saved some gold and bought both of my characters some stuff
but inflation kills me

i save 400kk gold and was just able to pimp 5 item for my mage priest
