For some reason autohotkey stops working as soon as I switch to Allegiance.

Even the simplest script:

CODEg::
Send z
return

(when you hit g, computer thinks you pressed z)

works in every application, except Allegiance.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

Not a solution but you bringing this up has literally saved me about 2-3 hours of work. This god forsaken program I'm using makes me change everything line by line (no export/import) and now all I have to do is click and press a button (vs manually edit 2000+ lines).

THANKS! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, Autohotkey can be a pretty powerful tool. You can set up switches, and if statements, and etc.

For instance, madp helped me write a script that would open a chatbox to your wing, then when you finished the message (or hit esc to cancel) it would switch back to chatting to team so you didn't have to worry about your next message going to the wrong recipient.

You running as admin?

Or also try this.

I haven't used AHK since ACSS but I also don't think I used it in Windows 7 either...

Been a while since I'ev used autohotkey but you might need to send the key in a specific mode for Allegiance to receive it.

I looked into that help page, HSharp, but still couldn't get a solution. From reading it, I should be coding "Sendplay" instead of "Send", but I think I'm doing something wrong because when I try that the key becomes completely unresponsive.

That is,
Using Send: 'g' sends 'z' in every application except Allegiance. In Allegiance 'g' sends 'g'
Using SendPlay: 'g' does nothing in every application except Allegiance. It doesn't even send 'g'. In Allegiance 'g' sends 'g'

i lost my AHK script for allegiance but as I remember, I prioritized allegiance.exe in script, haven't the fogiest what I wrote. Also I had to always right click and run as administrator or it wouldn't work.
