The opposite is true, I’ve successfully run MC2 on my Linux VPS (Debian) without any problems and with minimal effort.

Basically, there are two ways of achieving this.

• VNC – Virtual Network Computing
• X11 forwarding

Prerequisites

• openjdk-6-jre package or compatible JRE installed on the remote box.
• Debian box for this tutorial, other distros may use different package managers or different package names.
• root access.
• SSH client installed on your local system (PuTTY on Windows).
• Minimal knowledge of terminal and SSH use.

VNC

If you are running Windows on your local machine and don’t like the idea of running another desktop manager or if you just prefer persistent sessions and don’t need encryption, VNC is the way to go.

1. SSH to your Linux box.
2. The Linux box must have desktop environment installed (KDE, GNOME, Xfce, …). For xfce: $ apt-get install xfce4
3. $ apt-get install tightvncserver
4. $ vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16  (this will start vncserver at display #1 and resolution 1024×768@16bpp)
5. Install VNC client (viewer) on your local machine. I went with TightVNC Viewer.
6. Run the VNC client, insert either DNS or IP address or your box followed by colon and number of display (mylinuxbox.com:1) and press OK.
7. Open a terminal emulator in your VNC session and navigate to the MC directory.
8. $ java -jar Multiclicker2.jar OR $ java -jar Multiclicker.jar

X11 forwarding

When secure connection is a mandatory or you like complete desktop, choose this method.

1. Windows users.
   1. Install X Server for Windows. Xming X Server is free. Run it.
   2. Run PuTTY and do everything you are used to in order to connect to your server but do not open the connection yet.
   3. Under Category: Connection->SSH->X11 tick Enable X11 forwarding.
   4. Click Open.

   Others.

   1. $ ssh -X -l <username> <box address>
   2. Enter your password.
2. Navigate to the MC directory.
3. $ java -jar Multiclicker2.jar OR $ java -jar Multiclicker.jar

Modified script

• Stops account immediately
• Very annoying

The famous error is meant to, in the first place, tell user that there is something wrong with the site script, that strings supposed to be there are missing. It doesn’t matter what caused this problem, but in all cases the user interaction is required to resolve it.

Most frequent cause is a malfunctioning or slow proxy or a proxy that doesn’t support HTTP POST. Also proxies that require non-bot verification (CoDeeN) are to blame.

Whenever you get this error, try to restart the account first. The site might have been overloaded or there might have been temporary routing problem. If it fails again, check the site manually looking for any – even very small – change in the script (yes, terminated hosting account may be the reason). Another option is to change the browser preset in your account, there are sites (bux.to) that block any connection attempt they find suspicious (they love to block you even for few hours after the last attempt). In the case of slow site, you may try to set higher timeout in settings.

After you tried everything described here and even more and it still doesn’t work, contact the developer of the plugin with very detailed description of the problem like if it happens irregulary or not, at which stage it happens (login/stats/adverts/…), your settings, …

Connection error

• Stops account according to settings (not necessarily)

Not that common as Modified script error but if occures, it can be even more annoying.

Connection error doesn’t stop the account immediately. Instead, it waits some time and then tries to reconnect. The account is stopped only if number of connection attempts reached the limit (user-defined).

This error usually happens when there was a problem in the MC(2) -site communication – timeout, unknown protocol, malformed HTTP data etc. In very rare cases, when the problem is not serious enough to trigger Plugin error, it may be caused by the plugin itself and developer has to be contacted.

And in very ofter cases, the famous spyware4me is to blame because he screwed something up.

Plugin error

• Stops account immediately

… means that either plugin developer or spyware4me doesn’t like you. Who when:

• Only several plugins don’t work => developers
• No plugin works => spyware4me

You can’t do anything to resolve this error except for contacting developer.

Bad login details error

• Stops account immediately

Means the username is wrong or password is wrong or username and password are wrong, if not, contact the developer and tell him (or her; one never knows) what you think of him/her.

Server error

• Stops account according to settings (not necessarily)

Very rare, occures only if page with no data or headers is obtained.

It-doesn’t-start error

• Multiclicker(2) can’t be started

Download Java Runtime Environment or get yourself a compatible computer, calculators and washing machines not supported.

If there are no problems with the compatibility layer of MC2, MC1 support will be terminated and all MC1 versions will report a new version available (v2.2.0 at this time).

Download Multiclicker2 here.

I’m pretty exhausted by writing the About page of Multiclicker2, so go there before you continue reading.

Multiclicker2 is a new multi-platform, multi-account and multi-PTC autoclicker written in Java.

Multiclicker2 is designed to be easily extended with more PTCs directly by users. It contains built-in Builder (SDK) with debugging support. Developer may choose to build PTC plugins (called simply “site” now) with Wizard, directly in source-code or even using both techniques.

Yeah, it’s out and ready to kick some wealthy asses (virtually) but don’t celebrate yet. Although Multiclicker2 is a really good piece of software (in compare with Multiclicker (1)), it still misses something – PTC plugins (now called just “sites”). I want to hereby ask anyone that created even single plugin for old Multiclicker to build sites for the new Multiclicker2 and upload them to Multiclicker2 Extend site. The extend site is still under development, several things may not work.

I’ve also set up simple Wiki at wiki.multiclicker2.org which will server as some kind of fast FAQ and support instead of using forum for everything. Feel free to register and make it better yourselves (it’s like Wikipedia).

Just one more thing: the old Multiclicker shows a new version now but I’ll leave this only for several days to make people – you – aware of Multiclicker2 and then set it back.

Multiclicker2 for the win!

No data was lost and all Plugins should still be available.

… until a very interesting email arrived:

Your website has just reached the bandwidth or CPU limit provided with your free hosting account.  We suggest this is due to the success of your website and we acknowledge your website is very popular!

Ladies and gentlemen, this site reached whole monthly CPU limit in one day!

I had only two options:

1. Move to another free hosting and wait until they suspend my account and then move to another one and so on.
2. Pay for hosting and not get into vicious circle.

I choosed the second option as I believe it will avoid lots of difficulties for us all and allow us to concentrate on other things than moving the web again and again.

Conserning Autoclickers.org leading to mybookface.net – the account was suspended for reasons I wrote above, but the domain still pointed to nameservers of the free hosting, which redirected it to that website. It should be resolved now but some slower DNS servers may still point there. If you have problems reaching Autoclickers.org, consider using OpenDNS.

The website may not be accessible for several hours.

Thank you for your understanding.

EDIT:  Site moved.

I have to say it was a mistake to explicitly group accounts by PTCs and not provide other options. This version should set everything right.

• Accounts are not groupped by default
• 3 options of groupping – off, by PTC and by account
• Ability to add multiple accounts of the same name, password and other settings to different PTCs at once

How can I know that?

1. It took me about two or three days just to find free basic JTreeTable classes.
2. Most of time, Google returned paid implementations (Non-free stuff in free programme?! Forget it!).
3. Good, nice and finally free JTreeTable was part of BIG library (SwingX) with dependences on almost everything in there.
4. NetBeans has its own implementation – Outline. I couldn’t make my brain understand how to use it.
5. Last found (and used) one was published on Sun’s Developer Network, but as the rest of free JTreeTables, it doesn’t support sorting by clicking on table header.

Blah, blah. Let us finally see the changelog!

• Removed AdsTab.com – it is not a PTC anymore
• Fixed new-clicks statistics (after very long time, was bugged since 1.3.0 ?)
• Changed Account Table to JTreeTable (may be a little faster now)
• That also means you can now remove your accounts directly from Multiclicker
• A lot of minor improvements
• Better launcher script for unix-like OSes
