How do you get custom keys?

[Revelade]

I play in the dark, so I have a hard time finding the o button p button or whatever. I remember a program that allowed you to have your own custom keys. I also remember that custom keys were easy as changing some file in your war3 directory. Anybody know how or where I could get it?

heh for extremly late reply, the source of customs key are in your script.
Open warcraft III folder, or just search for a .txt file called CustomKeysSample.txt here.
For eg.
//dragonhawk
[hdhw]
Hotkey=U
Tip=Train |cffffcc00D|rragonhawk Rider
There hotkey is set to D, but i changed it to U, now the hotkey for making of dragonhawk rider in gryphon ivary is U.

um... well I know the old staff member of this forum (Aragorn7) posted the txt file that made everything's hotkey = f (easy button to hit i guess?)

Try searching for it if you need it.

If u use your hotkeys and then go to a high oficial tournamnent what do you do? Do they allow the config file?

Second, where is the wc strategy in this thread?

[brightlight]

yes they allow config files of custom hot keys. If you see the interviews some progammer choose to use custom hotkeys.

for your 2nd question think about it, it has a relation with strategy

[Venice_native]

Cheating is a strategy but they don't allow that.

You don't know where the keys are by heart yet?

Yeah, I think blizzard managed to create pretty good hotkeys, except for that nova or polymorph.

There is a program out called KeyCraft that allows you to easily change the hotkeys used with WCIII, however I do not know blizzard's stance on this, i know they always frown upon 3rd party programs messing with their games. I also know a lot of people that use keycraft, so i guess it is up to you if you choose to do it or not. A simple google search should find it...

Many european progamer perfer using custom hotkeys. It's not nice to see "décélérent" french word for slow with hotkey of w.
