I've had a couple requests for the script I use for inventory hotkeys, so here it is below. It's very easily modifiable to whatever keys you want to use. AHK scripting is pretty straightforward and easy to learn, I have no programming background/experience and was able to understand things pretty quickly.
Basically what I created was a very simple script that substitutes a keypress to map to the numpad key. I'll flesh this out later and add some pictures for the visual learners, but hopefully it should be understandable in text.
Wc3's inventory hotkeys use the numpad as we all know-
78 45 12
These six numpad buttons correspond to each slot. The system I use should be familiar to moba players, it's what is used in Dota and I assume in League as well- alt + hotkey = numpad key.
I use Q, alt Q, alt W, alt E, alt A, alt S, and alt D.
Copy the code into a notepad file and save it as a .AHK extension and name it whatever you like. A program like Notepad++ is far infinitely better than Windows notepad and makes organizing things very nice. Run it whenever you're playing Wc3, but remember to close the script down if you're doing other things (or even more importantly other games that use those hotkeys!)
The net result is that if I press F5, it starts and ends the script - this is a very useful thing to have for those of you who want to substitute a regular letter instead of using a letter + modifier (ctrl A and alt A instead of just A, for instance).
If you don't have this toggle and you do use regular letters for hotkeys, then it will mess up your chatting. I really like mine because it doesn't affect my chat except if the word has the letter Q in it. So "require" looks like "re7uire."
Let me know if anyone has questions or issues adapting this script for your own. I'll continue to flesh out this post with some images later for ez understanding.
@FML|HighTac I tried modifying the calendar on front page but I keep getting an error, something about an integer? All I was doing was changing the times :(
Powerhouse match right here of some of our tier 1 players. If Eshan gets UD, Cumulo will either rush him or Qwest depending on spawns. Slythe is the dark horse here, the god of unconventional but effective hero choices resurfaces again. ! Qwest's manips won't work as well vs the Master Manipper Himself Eshan and no base but lots of gold Cumulo. My heart says I believe in the power of the Pit Lord, but my brain says Peru fighting!
Match 10 (Winner's Bracket)
ena1337 Gradient reinforceement- AJIKAIII
Ena is a lesser god of Chaos, lurking in the Warp. Perhaps he is a disciple of the great Prince of Excess, Slaanesh. With plenty of FUCK MY ASS to go around, his gaze is dark and his horned head emerging from the blonde wig he wears on his bald head. Gradient will make the prettiest elf base and mine for 45 minutes. I see this turning into a long three way with one person getting rushed out. I'll bet on AJIK here.
Match 11 (Loser's Bracket)
Seksi headintheclouds fetta_ook junkerzam
It's like Swedish House Mafia again up in here, minus one Swede. Seksi is the favourite here, but Alch/TC/SH is a nightmare to deal with if he spawns UD or directly picks UD. Haven't seen too much of Junker lately, not sure if he is still not in the best of shape. I can see this turning into a teamfest against Seksi, so we'll see if he can prevail.
Match 12 (Loser's Bracket)
rbr.Godfather Vyvanne mrSweets FML|Mog
Doing predictions for your own group is always a bit silly, so I'm just going to pick me and highlight how I think I can win.
I'd say fairly even levels of skill here. Two orcs and a Tinker elf means headaches for Undead lategame. Godfather is a mini agent of Chaos I feel. His manips and micro are quite strong and his bats will rain fire down onto us. Between his Blademaster, Sweets' Alch, and Mog's Tinker, I sense this will be a furious fight of a game with not a lot of hoarding and lots of fighting. Aggression means more heroes levels but I am not the best in 3 ways, I thrive in 1v1 situations where I can use my micro and trade cost-effectively with my opponent. We'll see! Should be an exciting game.
Match 13 (Loser's Bracket)
supremo IWANTWC4 Dovekie Joggel
Supremo surprised all of us when he managed to get into a situation where he was getting 3v1'ed. We have a bit of a rematch here, and I'm really curious to see how this one fares, especially given the results in round one. Dovekie has been practicing hard on the bot, sharpening his skills and shaking off that rust. Donald will be passive and get his mines up while Joggel/Supremo/Dovekie duke it out. I think with a decent spawn position, Dovekie can take it, but you can't count any of the others out as well. Joggel's UD looked pretty decent except for a few critical mistakes, and Trump has gotten better as well, his orc didn't look bad at all.
Match 14 (Loser's Bracket)
trunkz Lil Tic Jaod b100death
Trunkz will be subbed again most likely. Lil Tic will have lots of :D and ^^ in his chats and be very nice while b100 and Jaod duke it out. b100's excellent micro will make him a big target. I'm going to root for LilTic here. He is a relatively new player to FFA but with some more practice I think he can definitely be an up and comer. My mind says b100 but my heart says Liltic! GO UNDERDOGS.
Match 15 (Loser's Bracket)
WeAkUD Airenikus JSRGN JIexa_b
Team hording! JSRGN and Airen will take mines quickly and play passively. This will also depend whether or not Tox shows up. Jiexa is a scary fuckin' orc and I can see him causing some disruption this game- almost guaranteed he is going to be teamed. This is another game that I can see turn into a quick 3 way with lots of shifting alliances and hiding buildings. Airen is underrated by a lot of players I feel. I think Jiexa will come out on top in the end with strong heroes.
Fun matchup, Ugri did pretty okay in his game, especially for having not played in so long. Aarni and Ugri will likely duke it out while JoeyBadasseryofKings will take on the mighty H A M M E R T I M E B I G D I C K N O E X X.
Weekends are best for me since I get home at 6pm PST which is like 2am CET. I'm completely available anytime on weekends, preferably after 10am PST (1pm EST).
Would this coming Sat 10/13 at 11:00 PST / 14:00 EST / 19:00 CET work for everyone ? (i think these are the correct time zone equivalents, if someone wants to check my math).
I think this will be close between Joggel and Eshan. Trump will hoard and try to play a passive game, and if Eshan takes some unfavourable fights, he'll bring out the Eshan Tome of Manipping. Supremo will inevitably break 50 food but sit on his army and whomever hits him will be his focus for the rest of the game. I think Eshan comes out on top in the end. Joggel has the advantage of being able to use Trump vs Eshan.
Match 2 Mog[skynet] SuperCumulo Ugrilainen Trunkz
The return of the man himself, Ugri! We'll see how rusty he is, but I suspect he may last longer than many may think. Still, Cumulo's pushes are scary and can be very tough for unsuspecting Undeads. If Cumulo spawns close to him, I expect a quick rifle caster push. Map choice will be big here I suspect. Not sure how much Mog has been playing so he could potentially be a bit rusty. In the end it will likely come down to Trunkz vs Cumulo.
Match 3 b100death Jaod Peanut Dovekie
Nice to see b100 again. All solid players, and the return of Dovekie is a wonderful pleasant surprise. As with many returning/not super active current players, the rustiness factor always will creep in, so we will see how this game goes. Not much manip this game, probably fast and furious. If b100 plays orc, I would give him the edge. If he's UD, this can be very even game where all players have a fairly even shot.
Match 4 Gradient Jiexa_b Seksi Vyvanne
Not too familiar with Jiexa, but I hear he's an oldschool guy that has been doing very well, so this should be a pretty fun game. Gradi has been doing better it looks like, but I suspect one of us is going to rush him out and this will turn into a furious three way (giggity). Seksi is probably most people's favourite, but if I can get a decent gold count and bring it to a 1v1, I feel I can take this. If I end up in a dominant position early, Seksi's manips may work on Jiexa or Gradi and he can take a comfortable lead enough to close it out.
Match 5 SteppinRazor Airenikus jOeybadass mrSweets
Another old face in Steppin to return, excellent. We'll see what kind of form he's in, but I believe he's been practicing so it'll be exciting to see how he does. The clear favourite here is Maga2.0. Joey is going to wagon rush someone and will likely be in a dominant role from start to finish. The others will have to team him hard if he gets into a strong role early on, but I think he can squeeze out the win in the end.
Match 6 aarnikratti ena1337 ToX Godfather
FICK MEIN ARSE.
Butthole blasting jokes aside, this is going to be fun. I don't think ToX and Ena are going to resist their 1v1. Any player that attacks first must ensure they die fast and die completely - any player left to live will rebuild with a vengeance and suicide their attacker back. Aarni will take the win in the end, his decision making is usually very good.
Match 7 Fetta_ook Reinforcement- Headintheclouds Junkerzam
I can see Rein being aggressive here and rushing someone quickly and turning this into a three way. Headintheclouds isn't bad, and we have our two Swedes duking it out. We'll see what shape Fetta and Junker are in.
Match 8 Pinballmap JSRGN AJIKAIII Slythe
Diablos/Coldbringer/JSRGN has been getting better and better after coming back and hosting a lot of 24 player FFAs. Slythe back is another great welcome surprise, this whole match is a very much an oldschool lineup. Gonna go with my boi Slythe!
