[SOLVED] Isboxer to autlogin DAoC toons

In my quest to solve this I came across so many people asking for it, probably a good idea to post a dedicated thread with a solution now:

To launch DAoC toons directly in isboxer you have to create a game profile for each character/toon and launch game.dll directly with some parameters: (yes, DAoC game.dll can be launched like an .exe)

- right click isboxer in system try -> configuration
- in game configuration select your DAoC, then click new profile
- the new profile can/should have the name of your character
- main executable filename: game.dll
- main executable parameters: 107.23.173.143 10622 51 {youraccname} {youraccpw} {yourcharactername} {1, 2 or 3}

Then associate this profile in isboxer with your character. I can then start my toons directly by rightcklicking systemtray isboxer and dont have to enter anything.

syntax is: ip port server account password character realm (3 is for hibernia)
server: 51 is ywain4 server. you need to try other numbers for your server

To launch more than 2 daoc you can use a program like: (http://www.daoc-trophy-mobs.com/lottacam/lottacam.html) or any other solutions: http://adoweniih.com/tipstricks/load-mo ... daoc-accs/

Just wondering if you are not able to launch multiple (more than 2) DOAC's via ISBoxer? There is specific handlers to allow you to launch as many DOAC's as you like, so if it needs to be checked out because something is now not working, it is helpful to know.

Yes it doesnt seem to work. The 3rd and 4th toon gets stuck in the launch process. I checked process explorer and the mutex for DAoC doesnt get killed. Maybe when I launch the dll directly, isboxer doesnt recognize to kill the mutex or whatever it usually does to allow more than 2 clients?

ISBoxer should be redirecting the mutex to a different one rather than killing it. If it is not, then it might not be looking for the correct one out of the box. What is the standard mutex name? It might also not be recognising the redirect at the correct time because it is expecting a launcher process first. Both items could be corrected in the next update of ISBoxer with the correct info .

nevermind, the problem is gone. tested with new patch. I can login more than 2 toons without problem.

what I am seeing now however is, that the mouse behaves differently with ISBOXER. Mouselook doesnt work as intended. I have the keys in game configured correctly, as when I launch without isboxer it does work as normal (i.e. hold right click for mouselook). With isboxer when I rightclick at gives an ever so slightly turn of the character (by 1 pixel maybe) - no mouselook.

is there a special way isboxer uses the mouse in game?

That is a reported issue with the new DOAC patch.

DOAC uses an old HID library, and then it uses it in a funny way. Inner Space/ISBoxer has some specific code to work around this. It is possible that in the new DOAC patch they've actually fixed their handling, or updated the HID library, and thus the fixes that were in place are now causing a problem, or the DOAC devs completely screwed the pooch and there need to be more fixes.

Anyway, been reported, Lax is already on the case.
