Guide to Multiboxing using Pwnboxer (with pics)
I've been asked a few times in game and on the forums so I thought I'd write up a guide.
Multiboxing is: using a program that sends your keystrokes to all other windows of a game, so you control all of them at once.
Multiboxing is not: botting, or hacking, despite popular beliefs. Now there is someone who is capable of having many bots follow him and shoot with him, that person is not multiboxing, he only has one client open.
Just a note of caution: you need a powerful computer to run this many unoptimized flash games. My computer slows with 10 rotmgs more than it slows with 10 world of warcrafts. Specifically, you need a lot of ram unless you want to restart a lot. While 10 boxing, I restart whenever clients get around 900 mem because they start crashing, and I have 8 gb of ram. I restart less frequently with less characters. You also need a good cpu - realm brings me to 100% when I have 6 open, I have an amd 955 (3.2 ghz).
First acquire pwnboxer. You can either purchase it for $50 on their website, or do something illegal to get it.
▐▌Setting up your clients
I used the mod selector and made one "Main" client and called it rm (realm main), and I made another client called rs (realm slave). You'll probably want to enable every hack, except on the slave client no fame/inv viewer, fullscreen, hp bars, and spammable notifs. I made my own modification which disabled all particles and all text above players (for way less lag on events, the particle effects really slow you down when you have 10 clients open).
No Particle Effects:
in the mods folder make a new folder called anything, I did 18.0.0_arcNoPart and inside that make two files, 18.0_arcNoPart.xml and return.txt.
Inside the xml file put:
Inside return.txt file put:
returnvoid
No Text Notifications:
in the mods folder make a new folder called anything, I did 18.0.0_arcNoText and inside that make three files, 18.0_arcNoText.xml and return.txt.
Inside the xml file put:
Inside return.txt put:
returnvoid
Then when you start mod selector you should see my mods - special thanks to @infern000 for helping me with remove particles!
The main client is the one that will have fame/inv viewer, text, and particles (for medusa bombs, etc).
When you make the main client, open it in a flash projector and then do file -> create projector; I named it rm.exe.
When you make the slave client, create projector; I named it rs2.exe.
Copy rs2 as many times as you want clients to multi box with. Since I'm multiboxing 10 characters, I have the following files:
rm, rs2, rs3, rs4, rs5, rs6, rs7, rs8, rs9, rs10
▐▌Setting up Pwnboxer
When you run it, it should check the registration and show a message.
Here's what my pwnboxer looks like:
All the green checkboxes will probably be red. You will want to click on each one and change the settings so they look like this:
BE SURE to click Advanced Options and change them as well!
If you can't load images or imgur ever goes down, you will be checking the box "Do not launch" and editing the name to the name of the exe you made.
For the first client (first red or green box) I did "C:\realm\rm.exe" as the game path and under advanced the process name is "rm.exe". Do the same for all the slave clients you made!
For key broadcasting I do all keys.
For mouse broadcasting I do method 1 and set my click to X, but be careful when typing x because it will click and make you stop typing, happened to me enough times. Note that method 1 seems to click twice on each client, so setting options in realm will have to be done manually. (I cannot get method 2 to work, I tried but it doesn't broadcast the mouse.)
▐▌Starting to play
Obviously, create 10 accounts or however many you wish to box, and start the clients - not by clicking start all games in pwnboxer but by opening them one by one. Also, don't open them very quickly because I once opened all 10 of them at once and I immediately got a blue screen.
I made a batch file to automate this. It will wait like 8 seconds between each one. If you want this faster, remove one ping line in between starts.
Now once they're all started, click Start all games in pwnboxer and they should all fit in place. If they did not, you might have not spelled their names correctly, or forgotten ".exe".
▐▌Actually playing!
Now, you can finally play, right? Kinda. Disable broadcasting (my hotkey is the pause key) and log in to each one. I named my accounts 1Name@email, 2Name@email ... nName@email. All passwords the same.
This is the only part I haven't automated but I considered making an autohotkey script that selects each process and logs in.
Now, once they're logged in, click play, make a wizard. Open your options menu and set the hotkeys if they're not saved. If you have a low end cpu, consider turning on hardware acceleration, it actually helps a lot and made my cpu not sit at 100% with 10 rotmgs. Turn off text balloons, even chat if you want, and I use 0 degrees rotation (I once read that it renders faster because it takes more cpu time to rotate the sprites 45, this may be wrong but it makes sense to me).
I have potion purchases off, my interact key on V and auto aim on Z, and sound off. Rest is pretty much your preference.
▐▌Lastly
Have fun! Consider making a team of priests, or a combination of different characters. The wand range is really good and my current team is 1 paladin (main), 2 priests, and 3 sorcerers. I am trying to get a juggernaut helm and then make a warrior with that.
The downside is that your speed stat will be different, so COPY AND PASTE /teleport (Main's Name) FREQUENTLY until you max the stat or make them equal.
I hope this guide helped you and brought the fun and challenge of multiboxing to you.

No Particle Effects:

Inside the xml file put:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rotmg>
<mod id="Arcanine's No Particle mod">
<code file2mod="_-12e\Particle.class.asasm"
line="446">

returnvoid
