Script to load characters

[RockLeeNBU]

Make sure to check out viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6433 before looking at mine as his is much more user friendly!



You will need to install autohotkey if you haven't already. There are instructions in the script if you open it with a notepad. You will need to make some small code changes in order for it to work for you so make sure to read the instructions. If you have further questions, you can contact me.
TIP: make the code changes and save before double clicking the .ahk file!


Edit: added new script for loading characters by class name (see bottom for download links) This one does not include ML loader.

Edit: If your Windows is installed in another language, please edit the script to use your folder path rather than finding it.
Instead of this:

Code: Select all

global twrpg_folder := "C:\Users\" . A_UserName . "\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData\TWRPG"
global ml_folder    := "C:\Users\" . A_UserName . "\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData\mlorpg"

Change to this:

Code: Select all

global twrpg_folder := "C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData\TWRPG"
global ml_folder    := "C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData\mlorpg"

Warcraft III 1.28.5
F8 to open loading buttons
Select a button to load said hero

Warcraft III 1.28.5 with -nativefullscr
For people with -nativefullscr, the expected behavior is to tab you out of wc3, then once you press a button on the screen, it will open wc3 back up and load your character.

Warcraft III 1.26
A few notes about the 1.26 script

There are two ways to use this script with 1.26

1. Full-screen Mode - Just the regular wc3 with no changes to your wc3 settings. Expected result: Tabs out when you press F8, once you select a character to load, it tabs back into wc3, and then proceeds to load your character and learn skills
2. Borderless fullscreen mode - I've included in the script a command that turns a windowed wc3 into borderless fullscreen

Personally I'd prefer using method number 2 (if i was playing on 1.26 lol)

If you'd like to use number 2 you can follow these steps: (Can skip to step e if you already know how to set your wc3 to windowed mode)

1. Create a shortcut of your 1.26 wc3 .exe file.
2. Right click on the new shortcut and select properties
3. In the popup find where it says Target: and at the end of the path type this: -window
   • It should look something like this: "Your\Path\To\wc3 1.26.exe" -window
   • Note: -window needs to be outside of the quotes
4. Press okay
5. Launch wc3 through the shortcut
6. with your ahk already running, Make sure you select your wc3 window and press the hotkey Alt + F11
   • You need to select wc3 before you press the hotkey since it can turn any window selected into borderless fullscreen
   • This will turn your wc3 into borderless fullscreen.

So I followed the instruction.

;--------------- For TWRPG ---------------

twrpg_folder := "D:\DOCSS\Games\Warcraft 3\Warcraft III 1.26 -IceBlitz\TWRPG"

So I opened Wc3, loaded the map, pressed F8, click "pd", but it didn't load.

so where have I gone wrong ?

[RockLeeNBU]

Things to double check:

1) are you positive your save file name is pd.txt? if not then need to change the button name to that
2) are you sure your save file is saved to that location? I would think even in 1.26 the save file is saved in a subdirectory named CustomMapData
3) did you run the AHK as admin? as stated in the script itself: "Make sure AHK is run as admin from the source (usually in C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey)"

if none of these helped, please send me your savefile and a screenshot of where that file is located so i can further help

[kazenokage]

oh dang, its the version. I didn't see it, coz i have 1.27 and 1.26,
hehe !

gonna try it.

edit: i just looked at it and the directory is correct, also the pd.txt is also correct and the twrpg folder is there .

its just when i clicked the "pd" button it does not go to Warcraft (since you said it will go to wc3 after you click any buttons.)

also can you tell me what "autohotkey" program did you use.

[RockLeeNBU]

just autohotkey.com, whatever the latest one is.

It seems like I didn't account for 1.26 at all

I can't test on 1.27 since i don't have it unfortunately :/

I rewrote some stuff, but with the way 1.26 focuses on the window proved to be difficult... give this new script a try and let me know how it works

Note: after it tabs out and after you press a button, give it about 1-2 full seconds before pressing anything to tab back in. It looks like there may be some issues with selecting your skills...

[kazenokage]

still not working.

I think its not about loading the skills coz the char does not load in the first place *or so I think*

heres the running code for the template 1.26

so i guess the WinMaximize means maximizing war3.exe, but after i pick the button it does not tab in back.

[RockLeeNBU]

I tested this on my own 1.26 and it worked on there

There must be some sort of discrepancy between my computer and yours.

Can you please send me a screenshot of ahk window spy when wc3 is selected? you can access that by first double clicking the script so that it appears in the bottom right of your taskbar, then right click it and select window spy

window spy.png

then take a screenshot like this:

[kazenokage]

Note : this is with warcraft 3 in full screen mode

Capture.PNG

Note : This one is in windowed mode.

Capture2.PNG

edit: I compared your picture and mine, the missing one for me is the war3.exe (from my version 1.26). So I tried my "main" warcraft v.1.27 and the war3.exe showed

Capture3.PNG

Hypothesis : I tried to convert to main my 1.26 (editing registry) but it seems it does not work. So maybe I can say that this script will not work with multiple copies of warcraft.

[RockLeeNBU]

Well now that i have pictures i can tell you that its probably the operating system and how wc3 interacts between them. its not impossible to make my script work for it tho...
