No worries, glad you like it. Ah that is a bummer. I'll try to find some time soon[ish], but kinda swamped atm, so not making any promises.

Back when this tool was first created there was a need. If the proxy does this now, good, then this features can be ticked off in my tool. All features are optional and can be enabled or disabled. I used it mainly for positioning clients and knowing what account is logged in where, especially if one client crashes.

Hey ArmageddonKnight, Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! I did my best to make it as fast as possible actually. Spent some time on doing just that. The main time consumer is the removing of the multi client lock, which was the method used by EA to prevent multiple instances to be loaded. To do this I need to spawn a process in the background that removes a mutex lock, this is taking some time. Also the "auto-interrupt-sizzle" option actually has to wait until the video is playing and this detection is also a bit slower than a normal human could check/do. So all in all, there might be some performance improvement possible, but I don't see this happening any time soon. Especially since I'm not actively playing atm and working on other stuff. The multi resolution one is actually something I thought off and wanted to make for myself as well, but it's on the backburner due to more pressing stuff I have to take care off. If I get some more spare time I will definately take your comments into account. Hurons.

You can try holding shift while you right click on the client in the taskbar, that usually gives you the option to "move" which allows you to drag the client around. If all else fails you can also try the tool that is attached to this thread in the first post, it allows you to make a layout and has textboxes/buttons for easy positioning.

Made a new version of the unlock tool, see attached screenshot. It now has support for multiple layouts and options to turn on/off certain functions. - Minus and Plus button in front of the Layout dropdown, you can use to remove the current selected layout or add a new one. - Add Client button, will add a new row to the grid below, which resembles a game client. - Minus button in front of the row, use it to remove a client from the layout. - Game Client dropdown, per row, use this to manually assign a game client to this row (auto sets the location and the accountname). If you have Auto Assign Clients on, you don't need to do this manually. - Left, Top and nudge buttons, use these to set the client to the location you want. - AccountName, if you fill this in and a game client is started and attached to this row, the title of the game client will be updated with the account name, to easily see what account should be (or is) logged in in this client. - Remove Multi Client, removes the original multibox limit (already running). If you have the fixed client.exe or you know the last proxy update fixed this already, you can turn this off. - Auto Assign Clients, monitors launches of game clients and if you defined a layout with one or more clients, automatically assigns the client to a row in the layout (sets the location and the accountname in the title) - Auto Accept TOS, clicks the I Agree button on any game client that is being started. - Auto Interrupt Sizzle, interrupts the Earth & Beyond sizzle intro movie on a started game client. - Start All Clients, spawns a new game client for each of the rows in the grid of the current layout. Once enough clients are there, it stops spawning them. Button is only enabled when the Auto Assign Clients option is turned on. - Kill all Clients, technically you can already to this per gameclient (row), but just a shortcut to do them all at once. Bonus, if you have Auto Assign Clients on, and one of the clients crashes (or hangs and you have to kill it). You can use the Start All Clients button, this will spawn the missing game client and put it in the row that is now empty, so it will be as if it never happened Questions, remarks, bugs, feedback, let me know Fly safe. Hur.

I noticed on the net-7 portal that the Celestial Horizon has been recreated. Unfortunately that is all the portal is willing to show me (private info, like most guilds). Anyone know who created it and/or if anyone is actively playing under CLS?

The multi client running detection actually does not work based on port used, so random ports will not do anything against this detection. Instead it is a singleton lock with a specific name, which is what my tool aimed to bypass.

I have been away from the forums for quite a while, so I did not notice updates on this topic. And yeah, I switched my hosting platform around a bit and did not notice this file missing after re-uploading. So once again the file is uploaded back to my website. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well you have the right to have your own opinion and if you don't want to multibox, that's fine. But I think its naive to think my tool is the cause of (more) people multiboxing. Everyone that wanted to multibox "properly" was already using one of the 2 well known strategies, being more windows accounts or sandboxie. I just wanted those people to have another option which is much more lightweight and very easy to use. That's it.   I even multiboxed 6 toons on the live server (Galileo) regularly, and most of that was just for doing tours on my own. I bought buddy codes for that, giving skill points to my main and having 5 noob accounts for creating tour toons. So while I agree this is an mmo, that will not stop certain ppl from wanting to be able to multibox. And with or without this tool, there will always be ppl that want to be able to multibox. Every mmo has/sees this.   And no, if I group up with others, I do NOT multibox, I play a single account. So I still participate in groups.   But lets not turn this thread into a yes/no multibox flamewar. Glad it helps :)

Glad that works for you. I just wanted a solution without sandboxing, which is why I made this :)

  Ah I see, well I do hope someone else will be able to help you with that problem!

Hmm, that IS strange, especially since my tool does nothing to the launcher or the client. So that process should be exactly the same as without the tool. I can start 6 clients with 6 game accounts easily this way, and they all have their own net7proxy process.   So wish I could help, but the problem you are facing is not something being caused by my tool. And I have no experience with the situation you describe so cant give you any helpful advice about it either.

No problem :)   And yeah Hobbs, it should help with those gate crashes. 

I am very fond of multiboxing, but I have hit my head more than once on the "already running" message. Since I am reluctant to create new windows accounts and use that workaround, or use any other sandbox environment, I decided to look at the locking mechanism in place and try to create a workaround/fix for that.    I have created a Net7MultiClientUnlocker for this purpose and I have been getting great results with it. Sure, every now and then I still get this message, once. But that's about it.    No virtualisation or anything fancy happening in my unlocker, just detecting the launch of a new E&B client and then attempting the remove the lock for the running client process. My tool does NOT alter the client itself in any way.   How to use?   Well, the Net7MultiClientUnlocker tool works best if no net7proxy processes are already running. So in case of closing all your clients and booting them up again, it helps to first shut any lingering net7proxy process down.   Just start the Net7MultiClientUnlocker tool as administrator, it needs administrator rights to remove the locks. Running without admin will quit the tool without showing a gui.   If started as administrator, a window will appear where messages will be logged.   Now just leave the Net7MultiClientUnlocker tool open and just use the Net7 launcher like you would normally do.   You will see messages stating that a new E&B client launch has been detected and hopefully followed by a message stating that the multi client lock has been disabled.   If the lock has been disabled, you should not be bothered by the nag screen saying the client is already running.   Like I said, every now and then there will be a nag screen that slips through (might find a solution for this in the near future but not promising anything) but all in all I have had great results using this method.   Last but not least, the download link, just unpack the zip file to a folder of your choice and run the Net7MultiClientUnlocker as administrator :    Downloadlink   Fly safe.   Huronimous.

Played from ENB go live till sunset. Helped the emu out for a little while in the beginning on the data team. Now playing since today since I kinda missed the go-live notice.   Used to play on Galileo during live in the Celestial Horizon guild. Same guild that went to Eve when sunset came and build (and lost) the first titan there.   Lots of fun memories, hope more ppl from the old Celestial Horizon guild come back to the emu :)
