Mischlings Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I don't have a programmable keyboard, but I find often that I want to move some things around (WASD to control camera, Shift to run, move mousekeys to a more central location on the keyboard, etc.) and I was wondering what programs are legal to use for those purposes. I don't want to remap the keys in the registry because it would be simpler to use something like GlovePIE or AutoHotkey, but I don't know if those programs are legal to use. Any clarification on this topic? If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

Mischlings Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 My concern was this: Software that generates input to our game applets. This includes software that automatically moves the mouse pointer or generates mouse clicks or key presses. You're saying that since the keystrokes I enter and the keystrokes that the game picks up are 1:1 (pressing A sends Left Arrow and nothing else), it's within the rules?

Yes, what that rule means is that you cannot use a program which automatically "presses" the Arrow Keys, or clicks the mouse, without any user input. As you are just pressing a different key, you're giving the input, so it's legal. Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as clicking A doesn't move the mouse left, then up, then right, then down; but only moves it left, you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
