Autohotkey is a program that allows you to map just about any key on your keyboard or mouse to another. AHK offers a great measure of control, due to its use of scripts.

Several members of the community have made scripts that give functionality to the mousewheel and additional mousebuttons, these scripts are run with AutoHotKey - a freeware program available here. When you use the mousewheel or additional mouse buttons, the script converts these actions into standard key presses on the keyboard (or a series of key presses for more complicated functions) causing allegiance to respond as desired.

Some of these scripts are:

Denga and Flower's FlowerZoom

This script allows you to:

  • Zoom with mouse wheel
  • Toggle between flight and turret modes with scroll lock button

Download

Madpeople's Hotkey mod

An evolution of FloweZoom, this script allows you to:

  • Use the mousewheel to adjust zoom level and with modifier keys: throttle settings, scroll chat and change the zoom sensitivity level
  • Use mouse button 3 to mute speakers while it is pressed to remove background noise when speaking on TeamSpeak (TS) - this assumes you also use mouse button 3 for push to talk in TS
  • Use mouse button 4 in conjunction with other keys to, change between flight and turret modes, paste clipboard contents into allegiance chat, say custom "quick chats".
  • Kill allegiance with ctrl+shift+escape - makes getting back to windows easier if allegiance crashes
  • Optionally login to TS, start TSO and launch allegiance from a single shortcut
  • Optionally exit TS and TSO when ASGS closes

Download

Madpeople's mpAL

"mpAL" is essentially the Hotkeys mod with more features and a much simplified install procedure.
