region based keymaps for formations (stack and diamond)

[ghonosyph and the moocrew]

only problem is that most of those keys are unbound and used for different things in game(ie spells and abilities) Is there a way to make my own setup so that i can still use a formation keymap, but with my own directional keys... for instance if i were to rebind my secondary movement keybinds to the arrow keys or something? It would be an entire new learning curve if i were to have to rebind all the original keys lol, as i use S for my targeting nearest enemy key, and my strafe keys are unbound on my alts so that i can only strafe on my main(for tanking purposes) since my team is all melee.

oh, you can use any directional keys you wish... you'll just have to tweak the region keymaps from above (or make your own)

if you're having issues getting that set up, just let me know and i'll try walking you thru the setup

OK so i just have one question that i am sure all the nub nubbingtons of keymaps and hotstrings are wondering when trying too figure this out.. even though what instance of wow you are running in a given region changes the hotstrings and keymaps assosiated with that region stay the same soo

if you dual box
r1 |wow1 |hotstring set1
r2 |wow2 |hotstring set2
and you switch
r1 |wow2 |hotsring set1
r2 |wow1 |hotstring set2

is this correct?

[keyclone]

yes, that's exactly how it would work

I'm trying to wrap my head around this keymapping thing. But I am lost.


Where do I define it all??

Where is the actual code for the hotstring.

I need a place to start.. editing the .kcl file?? It's 2 lines, there is no place for me in there to change what keybindings I currently have.

I have strafe set to other things, and would like this formation to work. But I am really lost...

Any help would be appreciated.. or a link to some documentation, my searches show me nothing.

Thanks in advance!

please make sure you are using v1.9i ... i am also assuming you have your maximizer and commands working


go to keyclone/setup/maximizer and LEFT click a region to select it. once selected, click the 'region keymap...' button and select the 'keymaps' folder... then the region you are setting up. (the files are region1.kcl, region2.kcl, etc)

repeat for all regions.

hit ok and start your commands.

in the keyclone list you should see something like "keymap(r1.)" next to each wow. to the left side of the dot (.) in the parens is the region based keymap description. on the right side would be any command/wow based keymap.

at that point, your keymaps are in place. by default, when in-game, hit PERIOD or COMMA to see your wows utilize the keymaps. (personally, i mouse map PERIOD and COMMA for convienence)

if you want to tweak a keymap, go to keyclone/setup/keymap-editor ... then 'load'... select the keymap... then start tweaking it. remember to reflect your changes accordingly across all keymaps.

i hope that helps,

Rob

The first part I do understand.. and if I had the original keybindings it would probably work. But I don't.


And when it comes to edit the keymap file.. it's 2 lines. Not that much to edit unless the numbers in there stand for something.

WHere is the actual code for: "form.stack" for example? And where can I define other keybindings?

[keyclone]

you're not expected to edit the files directly.

please go to keyclone/setup/keymap-editor ... hit 'load' ... select region1.kcl (or whatever file you are using)... and tweak that. select a line, change the key, or hit the DEL key to delete an entry from the list. remember to save the file.

if you change or add a hotstring, remember to add it to all the other keymaps you are using

[coupas]

How do you actually "tweak it" ??

I'm sorry... but I'm not getting it.

I understand how to assign a key to the hotstring.. but how do I edit the hotstring??


I have other keys bound to strafe.

I would love to be able to map keys more freely
eg define:
when I press 'X', send:
Client / Region 1: 'Y'
Client / Region 2: 'Y'
Client / Region 3: 'Z'
etc

If I understand correctly, then 1.9i Keyclone functionality falls short of this in two respects:
- The key to be sent to the focused window has to be the one which is pressed
- Cannot press 'X' in order to send 'Z' to client 3 if 'Z' is already used by another keymap for that client (I think there there is a work-around by setting wow keybindings to 'Z', and keymapping to 'Z' in the first map, 'Shift-Z' in the second, etc)

It would also be far more intuitive .. but the big question is .. can it be done?
Or did I miss / misunderstand something?

That said.. loving the region specific stuff thanks
