Macroquest with 2 EQWindows...

Post by SaberX » Sat Jun 07, 2003 12:16 am

Im having a small problem, although I don't know if there is any way to fix it. I run 2 instances of everquest in eqwindows. Macroquest works fine in both except for one thing. I usually play on one of my characters and have my druid in the backround for the occaisional port, heal, whatever. I found a forage macro in the macro depot that worked very well, but only when that eq was in the forground.
After some testing, i figured out that whichever EQ was in foreground had control of the mouse, and so the mouse functions such as /click didnt work in the backround.
Im pretty sure I just stated the obvious for most of you who actually make this work. I have some coding backround, and am enjoying reading through the source and figuring out what its all doing. Ive looked at the mouse functions, and dont quite grasp how it all works as of yet.
Im just looking for some input in this situation...

Good, I can use some help... been trying to debug/decompile/examine eqgame trying to find the function we can call to tell it a click has happened without using DInput for the mouse. check out http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2345 for some info to get you started on this, if you're up to it...

the background window can move the mouse (if you hadn't noticed) but just won't click. if we find that function or find some way to trick EQ into thinking a click has happened WITHOUT the dInput mouse detour, it should work in a background window.
