How it works

CustomKeys.txt - copies my custom keys to warcraft 3 directory in keyboard layout version depending to Keyboard parameter from config.ini file.
First it copies old CustomKeys.txt to CustomKeysOld.txt and then it replaces it. When you exit warcraft, old keys are restored.
Keys are assigned for first four lines of letter part of keyboard.
Folowing keys are used for standard qwerty layout:
QWER
ASDF
ZXCV
Abilities are assigned for first QWER keys.
Be sire to set Keyboard parameter in config.ini file as you need.

Hit Points Show - runs little application, which presses [ and ] keys, when there is wc3 window.
In effect it shows hit points bars over each unit. Can be enabled/disabled for enemy and/or ally.

Replay Auto Saver - runs application, which saves replay after each game played.
Replays are saved in following way
<wc3replay directory>\WC3Save\<data>\<player><race>-vs- <player><race> <map>

Backpack Helper - binds first two keys in first two lines into numlock keys. Use CTRL to use with.
For standard qwerty layout it works like this:
CTRL+Q works as Num7
CTRL+Z works as Num1
etc.

Windows Key Disable - disables windows key and alt+q hotkey. Use CTRL+ESC to minimize.

World Editor - When you use tool to run World Editor, settings from config.ini are saved into registry.

Questions

Is that bannable by Blizzard?
No, It's not. It doesn't change game in any form. To prove it, here is a link:
http://www.battle.net/tou.shtml


I'm open to any critics and propositions.

If you need special options, just say what you need.
You can help me by translating.

There are also maps made by me on my website.

REMEMBER TO SET UP CONFIG.INI FILE


Thanks,

I grabed the Warcraft III Tool and will try to take a look at it later.

Mefhisto: will you consider posting the tool in
The Hive's tool resource section
so that our users can download and comment on it here?

I also added your site to my Warcraft III Community Links.

Approval status: Pending

Looking good!
I only ran it once (on Vista, I must add... no error, but I did nothing but to run it, see what elements of GUI you set and that's all).

I PMed you with some things I find appropriate to add to it. Also commented it.
Will approve and keep an eye on it after testing it in a decent manner and if it does all you said it should. And after you reply to my PM.

Nice, again! Hope it is as effective as it says !

 

[Mefhisto]

Wolverabid: I'm waiting

BlackDoom: I replied to your PM. Of course this work, if for someone it doesn't, write - I will do my best to fix it.

If you can translate text from config.ini on Language section, feel free to do it and send it to me.

 

[Wolverabid]

I found the tool to be useful to adjust various settings outside of Warcraft III.

One concern I have: since the tool seems to impose changes on the WC3 shell, I was distressed when my command palette icon display was altered (I hadn't realized I had changed those options). I was able to restore the default settings, but I would like to see an option to undo ALL of the changes and restore Blizzard defaults. I will continue to examine and test the usefulness of this interesting tool.

Setting Up Warcraft III Tool is very helpful.

Let's also wait until we hear some more opinions: Dr Super Good, Ralle and others have yet to weigh in.

 

[Mefhisto]

First thing. If there is no config.ini file in tool's directory, program will read configuration from registry. If there is no registry settings program will write default settings. Overwise all settings are readen from config.ini file, also if there is no specificial entry in config.ini file, tool will write default settings.

I'm waiting for more opinions

Congratulations on the update Mefhisto!

It looks like you updated the tool on your resource page here at The Hive. Thanks.

Just FYI if you want to update your Submitter's Description (again) that field DOES accept vBulletin code so you can provide actual hyperlinks in the descriptions rather than just text.

Example:

The URL was enclosed between double quotes, as .

Whas it?

+Rep as well, Meph!

 

[Mefhisto]

Wolverabid: Thanks! I made update. I will use code on site from now.

Thanks for rep points!

I'm planning next update very soon, I'm working on functionality and speed now.

Also if is it possible, make some translation and PM it to Me, that will help

 

[BlackDoom]

Take your time with the updates. If you don't, you'll end up as me - too many versions in a short period, or lack of ideas.

Nevertheless, keep up the good work!

Nevertheless, keep up the good work!

I like to create something in 100% and then start to create something new. Often I have a flow of ideas and I need to contain them all in a single day.

Exactly what do you mean by "some translation" Mef? I'm sure that I don't understand. My language skills are limited to English only; your own command of English seems excellent.

I look forward to your next update and will do whatever I can to help.

Version 1.2 Released!

Version 1.2 Released:
-added many new functions for tray icon
-included backpack into interface and few other
more advanced configuration options
-program is now reading starting configuration
from registry to increase functionality
-tool can now run WEU (if installed) instead of WE
-some new configurations for World Editor
-many other minor changes (over sixty)
Note: config file SHOULD be replaced with new one.

This version comes with many seriously changes, please raport ANY even ortography mistakes.

 

[BlackDoom]

Note that the fact that it leaves some temp data spread around one's system is not that enjoyable.

I mean, the data stored in the My Documents and the temp folder.

A consistent installer & uninstaller stub would be a big plus. If feasible.
I will also check this issue myself, concerning W3IR. Until then...

Cheers!

Hey Mef, how do I remove the QWERTY form? Its really annoying to me.

I will fix it with new version. Tool shouldn't leave temp files, Replay Charter does, I will make it will delete them.

Uncheck Apply CustomKeys.txt option, Ready

[BlackDoom]

That's to be expected from a tool that keeps settings for longterm. But if you could set the other tool to create the files in the same folder as the one chosen as destination for W3Tool.
still didn't come up with a better name...
I know that RC does that, I did notice the fact, that's all. You could use the registry for global settings. Or an INI file near the exe.

Cheers

 

[Mefhisto]

Hey, there is a config.ini file to set up all settings You need. I don't want my tool to use any other files that it uses by itself, it should be portable in 100%. It will stay clean and clear in all versions.

First version (1.0) is working, so I didn't marked it as RC or any other level.

Next version will be Final I think.


Thanks You very much for advice!

[BlackDoom]

Lol, looks bannable to me,
From TOU

v) use any third-party software to modify Battle.net to change game 
play, including, but not limited to cheats and/or hacks;

I'm not taking any chances unless there is further prof more specific to this program.

 

[Mefhisto]

Just tell me excactly, where does my tool changes game, or everything else? :]

 

[-=Swift=-]

I believe it does change the game, as of KeyBoard shortcuts? World editor Tweaking? Various game modes, and Advanced Game Configuration.. It seems to me this is a Third Party Program that is Modifying and Changing Gamplay to Bnet. "including, but not limited to cheats and/or hacks;"

 

[-=Swift=-]

And also if it doesn't change anything then what is its purpose?
