Hotkeynet comming back?

[HomersDonut]

Can you send to EQ2 in the background with AutoHotkey? If so, send me some AutoHotKey macros that work, and I'll duplicate the functionality in HotkeyNet.

To date I've only been able to send to a background EQ2 instance (on the same PC) when it was running under Innerspace. This applies to Octopus, Autohotkey, Keyclone and Hotkeynet. When running the 2nd instance on other hardware, all of these (except Keyclone) worked fine without innerspace. That being said, all had issues with sending modified keys remotely.

As for an example autohotkey script, sorry. I haven't had a workable or even test one for some time now.

Just as a final thought, I did have some limited success with HKN and switching foreground focus quickly between the 2 instances.

Sending to EQ2 in the background seems to be quite a challenge. Hmm. I just installed it and opened a trial account so I can give it a shot.

Build 52 is up. Changes:

-- Added a function for sending to background DAOC windows.

-- Removed underscores from function names.

-- The program will tell you when it loads your hotkey file whether you need to change any functions names.

downloading it now and finally getting to play. The week has been busy. I'm going to mess around with the mouseclicks a bit since I haven't tried them out yet.

I'm downloading updates to EQ2 so I can try sending to it in the background.

I think I ran into an issue with mouseclicks in EQ2. I made macros in game to target the different group member positions, and I put them in a section of my hotbar that doesn't have hotkeys so that I would have to click on them with my mouse. Here is my code:

<hotkey NUMPAD_END>
<sendpc ip address>
<sendwin EQ2>
<MouseClick Left Window 1025 900 NoRestore>

I used guess and check with NoRestore to position my mouse correctly, and it definitely moves to the right spot, but it doesn't actually click it. I tried it as <MouseClick 1025 900 NoRestore> and also with adding in the optional other fields. Thanks for checking into eq2 personally...we're a mess

I'm looking at MouseClick in EQ2 now.

I just returned from exploring the depths of MouseClick. I found your bug plus another bug I didn't suspect plus a mismatch between the code and the documentation. I fixed that stuff but I'm scared to think of what else might be lurking in the other parts of MouseClick that I didn't check.

Build 53 is on the website now. It clicks properly on EverQuest using this simple hotkey that doesn't move the cursor. I didn't test in any other way so you'll probably be getting back in touch with me real soon as you uncover more problems. Thanks a lot for finding the bug.

<HotKey F1>
    <SendPC 192.168.1.102>
        <SendWin EverQuest>
            <MouseClick window nomove>

It sort of works now... Right now it positions the mouse correctly as before, but it seems to be clicking before making the move. I'd leave my mouse highlighted over a spell, use my mouseclick command, and it'd move to the correct spell but click the previous one before moving. Is there a way to write a command just for the mouse to move? Then I could put the two together where it moves in the first step and clicks in the second. It's not a huge problem because I don't definitely need this to work to be able to play, but if I start to play more than two toons it'd be nice to switch for cures and casting spirit of the wolf on all group members with a single click.

Thanks for the report. Yes I'll add a way to move the mouse without clicking. But In addition to that, this bug definitely needs to be fixed.

Could you post the hotkeydefinition so I can try to duplicate the exact problem?
