Hey all, thanks for all the support so far! I have only been creating videos for a little over 2 weeks and all the views, comments, likes, and subscribers really keep me motivated to keep going! I'll continue to answer every comment and address feedback. And I really mean it when I say thank you! I spent way longer on this video than I wanted to, and it was a good learning experience. The topics in the video are somewhat difficult and I wanted to break it down into it's purest most simple form so anyone could understand. The audio is a little scuffed at some points, and I apologize for that. I take pride in having high quality videos and will continue to keep this aspect. If you need help creating an AHK script for your class, comment in detail what you are trying to create a script for, and I will do my best to help you create it. Thank you again and I hope you enjoyed the video!
Hey MMO, your the man. Just learned a lot of the game I've been controlling my characters with awsd for 20 years. Now I'm going to move with my mouse. I'm looking to build a script for a skald brother. Could you help me please? I want both DDs on 1 hot key and snare and weapon ability and snare in 1 hot key.
Idk if you'll see this @mmodojo. I am not very good at rvr/pvp but i am sure this will help a lot. On that note, i just started eden about a month ago. Iam having a great time with it! I love some of the simple improvements like town portal and many other things tthat i am sure i have not even touched. I wasnt sure about server wipes but with the ease of leveling and templates i dont feel like i have to burn myself out trying to get gear/raids. I gotta admit when i saw people in /reg chat announcing dragon raids and the like, i felt a huge pang of nostalgia and giddy joy of rediscovery! Thank you to everyone who has made this possible!
Here is an example of my AHK Script for a simple anytime + after parry chain. the script only works in the daoc window. it pauses the script (and shows you a tooltip ingame, that its paused) when you enter chat in anyway so you dont have to start and stop it all the time yourfelf. it also lets you ctrl+c somethign like a discord adress out of game and paste it in ingame chat. RETURN #UseHook #IfWinActive, ahk_class DAoCMWC ;toggle Script(pauses and resumes script) +NumLock:: Suspend,toggle ToolTip, % A_IsSuspended ? "Script Suspended" : "" return ;anytime with parry backup and followup 1:: send ^{f10}^{f9}^{f7} return ;Suspend when typing ~NumpadEnter:: ~+Enter:: ~Enter:: Suspend, Toggle ToolTip, % A_IsSuspended ? "Script Suspended" : "" Return ;Other keys that open chat /commands, console, r reply key ~NumpadDiv:: ~/:: ~':: ~r:: Suspend, On ToolTip, Script Suspended Return ;Escape closes chat window ~esc:: Suspend, Off ToolTip Return ;control v windows default paste command ~^v:: Suspend, Permit if A_IsSuspended SendInput, % Clipboard Return #UseHook off
@@whatameyex8249 try this, qbind all your styles to f keys, (f1, f2, f3, etc.) then make AHK with one key that press the f keys for ALL the FOLLOWUPS first. Then the parry and side starter will be the last inputs. say f4 is side chain, f3 is parry chain, f2 is opener for parry, f1 is opener for side. 1:: send, {f4}{f3}{f2}{f1} return try it and let us know. If it doesn't ill make a reaver and create the ahk :D
@@mmodojo yea someone told me in FoA how to do it haha, thank you though. I pretty much got it down now, just need to figure out the stop macro stuff for typing and alt tabbing
Just watched this video - well done dude! This is exactly what I needed as a returning player! Is this Eden specific or does it work the same for the standard Ywain servers?
This is an excellent refresher course for daoc. It's been over 20 years. I forgot how painful this can be to setup. It's too bad they never put in a complete keybind interface.
Yeah UI is part of the difficulty for new and returning players. That's why I gotta break down everything to the most simple concepts. It's nice to see a returning player though! What are your thoughts on Eden so far? Also, if you got any questions or need help with anything let me know!
If you don't have them, I can get you scripts that will let you type in game without issue. They auto-pause your AHK any time you start typing a message and re-enable them after you send the message. You can also make it so your AHK only runs if your DAOC window is active. DM me. I'll send you details on Discord.
I have tried to figure out AHK for sometime now and barely gotten by figuring it out with the videos on RU-vid. After watching this video and how well you describe setting up AHK scripts I feel much more ready to setup my own AHK scripts come launch day. Thank you!
im having an issue with my AHK setup. command looks like this. ;Evernight Back style, Tyr's Fury Anytime follow up, Havoc Anytime 2:: send, e{f3}{f2}{f1} return however if i am currently not in combat, and hit my 2 key while chasing someone, it will attempt to swing with Tyr's Fury (the follow up) the moment the key is pressed and not queue Evernight before swinging. Is there a way to fix this other then creating a 2nd set for the follow ups? Like so ;Tyr's Fury Anytime follow up, Havoc Anytime 3:: send, e{f3}{f1} return
This is one of the reason daoc isnt what it should be, wish EA or broodsword or whoever owns the game these days would just put a stop to cheats like AHK scripts, all it does is make mediocer players at best compete :)
Yeah AHK is really useful for assassin weapon switching and poisoning weapons. But if you die that fast then I think you need to up your resists. Should not be dying that quick I dont think.
AHKs sometimes don't work due to latency as you thought. AutoHotkey sends the keypresses faster than a program can register the inputs. You can use SetKeyDelay to prevent that. For example SetKeyDelay, 100, 50 delays each keypress by 100ms and holds each button 50ms down. These values need to be adjusted eventually , depending on your internet connection speed and CPU power.
@@fenrir20678 I appreciate the reply. I've been having an issue with this sort of thing. What is crazy is that I have gigabit fiber, so it should be blazing fast right? I have zero key delay set atm. I am running into an issue when I open combat with the macro my style chain fails. It looks like it doesn't get to the last style in the macro before it tries to execute it. -.- Example of a full AHK macro that sometimes fails: It sends qbinds for the following skills in this order on my scout: Standard shot Off-block style 2nd in chain frontal Frontal style {f10}{f6}{f5}1 It reliably does standard shot and probably ~75% of the time executes the frontal properly. It works fine once I'm already in combat. It just sometimes tries to do the off-block instead of the frontal when I open with the macro. It's a little bit of min-maxing, but I hate swinging unstyled. I'll probably switch over to just using the anytime, I just like the frontal chain's haste debuff. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I tried making an AHK for my Savage insta buffs. it works but it only engages some at 1 click. I have to press the key serveral times before it casts all buffs. Any ideas on what I did wrong?
try this: put all your instas you want to use on a qbind. like insta 1 on f1, insta 2 on f2, etc. Then make the AHK where if you press your trigger key, say the number 1, it fires all the instas you want like {f1}{f2}{f3}{f4} etc. and make sure your trigger key is empty slot, like nothing there if ahk were not to register. Try this and lmk if it work.
I use Voice Attack (available on steam) as my hotkey command system. Why press any buttons when you can literally say a word to fire your hotkey scripts.
@@mmodojo ok thanks. and thanks for the vids. question; i would like to use 1-9 as autohotkeys.... but aren't they also attached to hot bar 1? how do i not have them try to use both?
@@skald22 so if you go in game and use this simple script 1:: send, 2 return when you press 1, it uses skill 2, no matter what is on slot 1. Change 2 to whatever you want, it can be a qbind like ctrl+shift+4, or something like 8. What you are doing is inputing one into the computer, and whatever comes after send is what daoc is taking as input.
Having issues with scripting weapon swaping macros. About 1 out of 7 times it will not swap one of the hands. Maybe I'm just making too big of a deal about it but it's annoying to the point where I think it will backfire in some crucial moment lol. ;1h Swapping F11:: Send, 12 return
I had problems with this as well. Make sure inputs are not overlapping. Like having a: 1:: Send, 12 return has double 1 in the code or 1:: Send, 2 return with 2:: Send, 34 return because pressing 1 will send 2, which can trigger the 3,4 from pressing 2 sometimes. its weird. When I got it working flawlessly I was inputting 1-10 and having the outputs go to f1-f12 and commands like: home, pgdwn,pgup. And qbinding stuff to the home,pgdwn,pgup, etc.
