HotKeyNet Issue/Question

[sigtau66]

I'm checking this program trying to just run 2 accounts (WoW) with each account residing on a different PC. Maybe I'm not getting something simple, but some of the hotkeys I want don't work. For example, I use a mod called GoGoMount which allows mounting through the use of a hotkey which I have set to SHIFT GRAVE. So I made this hotkey so that both accounts would mount at the same time:


<hotkey LSHIFT GRAVE>
<sendpc local>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LSHIFT GRAVE>
<sendpc 192.168.1.110>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LSHIFT GRAVE>

It wouldn't work. I finally got it to work by making the hotkey in game and in HKN just GRAVE. It doesn't make sense to me why it wouldn't work.

So anyway, now I have 4 new hotkeys I want which aren't working.


<hotkey LSHIFT R>
<sendpc 192.168.1.110>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LALT 1>
<hotkey LSHIFT T>
<sendpc 192.168.1.110>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LALT 2>
<hotkey LSHIFT C>
<sendpc 192.168.1.110>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LALT 3>
<hotkey LSHIFT V>
<sendpc 192.168.1.110>
<sendwin World of Warcraft>
<LALT 4>


When I looka t the output window for both PCs, it shows the hotkey coming through, but nothing happens in game.

Any suggestions?

*edit: Ok, after playing around with it some more it seems whenever I try to send the client PC a Shift, Alt, or Ctrl and another key it doesn't work, e.g. LSFHIT T, LCTRL R, LALT V. If I just change those to be T, R or V the hotkeys work. Is that the way this program is supposed to work?

you should ask this in the software section, that is why we have one :)

Yeah, I thought about that when I woke up this morning. I wasn't completely in the right frame of mind last night when I posted that. And I don't have the ability to move my post, so here is where it stays so I don't spam the software section.

Sorry for the aggravation with those key combinations. HotkeyNet is an early beta program, and it isn't completely written yet, and one of the limitations is that you can't put more than one key in <>'s when it's the output of a macro.

At the moment, if you want to output (for example) Alt-1 you need to write it like this:


<keydown alt>
1
<keyup alt>

I realize this is confusing because HotkeyNet does let you write <alt 1> when you're defining a hotkey trigger. So naturally you expect to be able to write the same thing for output. But the two things require different batches of code, and I haven't finished writing the stuff for output yet. I'll try to get it finished in the next few days.

P.S. I almost didn't see this thread -- I just happened to look at this section of the board for the first time ever. If anybody has a question about HotkeyNet, they can always email me. Click "report bug" on the program to see my email address.
