Autohotkey

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 listed below.

Note: You will need to download and install autohotkey to use these scripts.

Denga and Flower's FlowerZoom

This script allows you to:

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

Madpeople's Hotkey mod

An evolution of FlowerZoom, 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

Madpeople's mpAL

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

Feature List:

• Zoom on mouse wheel
• Chat scrolling on mouse wheel
• Pasting text into allegiance chat
• Use custom quick chats - enter long lines of text into the chat with a key combination
• Change text colour in allegiance with a key combination
• Mute speakers when you press Mouse 3 (designed for people who use Mouse 3 as Teamspeak's push to talk button) - remove background noise
• Automatically start TS and TSO when you login to allegiance
• Automatically login ASGS when ASGS starts
• Kill allegiance.exe by pressing ctrl+shift+esc
• Media player control
• If the script is set to start TSO, it checks first to see if fraps is running and closes it if necessary (to prevent them conflicting), when ASGS closes the script re-starts fraps if it closed it
• Disable the Windows key

Simple scripts

1. Download and install Autohotkey, available free of charge at autohotkey.com.
2. Create a new file called Alleg.AHK
   • Optional: Save this file in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup so it always load when you start Windows.
3. Copy the following two lines of code into the file, before copying anyone else's script. These two lines will ensure that the scripts only run when Allegiance is, so they won't interfere with the rest of your programs.

SetTitleMatchMode, 3
#IfWinActive Allegiance
