Hotkeynet comming back?

[yvette]

i used the g15 in combination with hotkeynet and it worked perfect

maybe you are doing something wrong.

I just added a new feature to HotkeyNet that was requested by somebody who plays Dark Age of Camelot.

It's now possible to define hotkeys that execute hotbar commands in that game when the game is in the background. (Use the background_setfocus command in build 30.)

I added another new feature today (in build 32) -- a rename command, so windows can be renamed with hotkeys. Makes it a lot easier to launch multiple copies of games and get set up.

2 very very nice features !

I have been testing this software last night but it gave me some errors on the config file I wrote to pass keys to multiple windows hosted on different computers. The syntax examples on your site are nice but I have some problems getting them to work correctly for my setup.

Is there a place where I can find more details on configuration and how to use it? Or should I start a topic on this forum for support?

I have looked at the forum for your software but it was really lacking the information I was looking for.

ps. This is my first post on this site. I have been dual / tripple boxing for a long time now. And after seeing some of the videos and the power behind 5 boxing I have started with that also. Mad respect for all multiboxers out there. Everytime people start moaning about me multiboxing I just refer them to this site. Most of the time they give positive feedback after seeing it has such a big community : )

I'd suggest making a new thread here. Please feel free to quote your hotkey definitions and explain exactly what you want to do.

If you prefer, you can ask instead in the HotkeyNet forum. I'll answer questions in either place. The reason why there's no info in the HotkeyNet forum is because it's new, and nobody has asked a question there yet.

Hey! Thanks for making this available to us. The only problem I am having now is when I forget to check "Hotkeys are on". *blush*

[Freddie]

I'm the one who should blush, not you. If you're having a problem, it's a sign that I need to design the program better to make things easier.

In this case, it sounds like the program needs to indicate more clearly whether hotkeys are off or on. For example, the tray icon should turn gray when hot keys are off. I just made that change in build 38. This will help a little. Please let me know if you can think of other changes to make it even clearer.

Thanks for the feedback.

Feature request: A button to clear the text in the windows that show keys sent/received.

You state on P3 of the instructions that However, if you change a hotkey file while HotkeyNet is running, you need to load the file manually so HotkeyNet sees the changes.

If I make changes to the text file while Hotkeynet is running then Windows won't let me save changes, stating the file is in use. So, I have been making the changes, shutting down Hotkeynet, return to text file and save changes, start Hotkeynet. Phew! I must be doing something wrong, eh? When I do that I frequently get the error below and have to restart Hotkeynet 2-3 times. Then it works flawlessly.

Feature request: Make it so my alt's pet never does that again.

What's the reason for that?

If I make changes to the text file while Hotkeynet is running then Windows won't let me save changes, stating the file is in use.

This is a new bug that you just found, and I just fixed it (I hope) in build 39.

Edit: I think the bug described in the next two sentences has been fixed in build 40. [s]However there is a different bug which I haven't fixed yet that sometimes causes errors when HKN loads a hotkey file in place of another one which was already in its memory. Until I fix this second bug, you should close HKN after you load a changed hotkey file and then reopen HKN. [/s]

When I do that I frequently get the error below and have to restart Hotkeynet 2-3 times.

The need to restart HKN several times before it connects is a different bug. It's not related to hotkey files. I think you might be seeing it more often in that situation because it may occur more often when you quickly close and reopen the program.

Then it works flawlessly.

At last, a tiny ray of sunshine in this dismal list of bugs.
