AutoHotkey - Basic Scripting

Posts : Join date : Age : Location : I've been thinking about doing a little post on AutoHotkey, it's a very powerful free scripting tool for Windows that I began using some time ago.
You can find out about and download it here

Creating scripts is easy, they're just text files with the .ahk extension that you edit in Notepad. The help utility is excellent and will get you up and writing scripts in no time at all.
Here's the first AutoHotkey command I wrote for Earth & Beyond.
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, A It removes the active window title bar and border whilst retaining the Windows fast alt-tab switching between clients and other windows.
To get it to work on the Earth and Beyond client window you need to make it the active window.
WinActivate, Earth & Beyond Or you can assign the action to any key combination so it can be run when the client window is active. "^" is the hotkey modifier for the "Ctrl" key. The following script toggles any windows properties making it remain on top of other windows when Ctrl+P is pressed. Handy for keeping notepad on top of the client window so you can edit your scripts or watch a video whilst playing
.
^P:: The "Return" command at the end of the script makes it stay resident waiting for the next time the hotkey is pressed.
The next issue I faced was how to distinguish between my different client windows, each with the same name in the title and task-bar. AutoHotkey can do that with the command:
WinSetTitle, LaphPW What a lovely command, with it I'm able to give each client window the title of the character it is running. It also allows me to send keystrokes to them individually
)
Here's the loading script I use for my PP with the account name and password XXXX'd out.
Run, C:\NET-7\bin\LaunchNet7.exe, C:\NET-7\bin\ I've a similar script for loading each of my Progens with a shortcut for each in the Start Menu as well as a master script that loads them one after the other.
Run C:\Net7MultiClientUnlocker\Net7MultiClientUnlocker.exe I'll leave it there for now. Hopefully it's given you a few ideas. May come back with a Part II with details of those combat and mining scripts later on.
Peace
