Introducing EraAWSD!

[Vacci]

Might throw something together for default control keyboard users anyways, just kinda gonna reuse most of the things in the current script. I think it'd be helpful for them to have features like hotkey equips and gang chat button. This way they won't have to take their hands off the controls as much to move to the mouse to click something.

I just learned that the most recent version of EraAWSD uses newer commands that wasn't available in the old download link. I updated the link in the guide and if you are having problems with an unrecognized command at line 9 or something please download the new version.

I'm glad you like it. Just think, this all came about because I was tired of the default controls lol.

Time for an update! Autohotkey users now have the option to have a clock display on the bottom right of the screen like so:
Screenshot 2015-03-08 20.41.28.jpg

Note: This code was not created by me from scratch. I just edited this code to match with FB Era


To add this update to your current script just add the following blocks of code in the areas specified.

//Clock button
t::
    ifwinexist, clock
    {
        gui, destroy
        return
    }
    ifwinnotexist, clock
    {    
        //get the color of the window, and the position of the clock
        PixelGetColor, CustomColor, A_ScreenWidth-2, A_ScreenHeight-61
        TimePosX :=  A_ScreenWidth - 100
        TimePosY :=  A_ScreenHeight - 122

        Gui, +AlwaysOnTop +LastFound +ToolWindow  // +ToolWindow avoids a taskbar button and an alt-tab menu item.
        Gui, Color, %CustomColor% //set background color of the clock
        Gui, Margin, 5, 45 //set margins to center the clock in the window
        Gui, -Caption  // Remove the title bar and window borders.

        Gui, Font, s16,,Segoe WP //font size and type
        Gui, Add, Text, vMyText cBlack, XXXXXXXXXXX  // XX & YY serve to auto-size the window.


        SetTimer, UpdateOSD, 1000 //update clock every second
        Gosub, UpdateOSD  // Make the first update immediate rather than waiting for the timer.

        Gui, Show, W100 H150 x%TimePosX% y%TimePosY% NoActivate, clock  // NoActivate avoids deactivating the currently active window.
        return

        UpdateOSD:
            FormatTime, Time_a , h:m:s, h:mm tt
            GuiControl,, MyText , %Time_a%
            Gui, Color, %CustomColor%
            return
    } 

This can be inserted almost anywhere after a return statement, but I recommend putting it at line 200 in the default script. After the return line for the v:: hotkey as pictured.

To automatically run the clock when you start the script add this one line

Send t // make sure the key here matches the key you specified before 

Add this line somewhere before the a:: statement like pictured below.

If anyone has any recommendations for future updates just leave a comment here. Also, leave a comment if there are any issues with the script. I'm no expert coder, but, I can see what I can do.

Between homework assignments last month and the start of summer today, I added new features to EraAWSD!

-Timer (Added a timer to be used for various purposes, default key g)
-Battery Level and Charging indicator(Displays on screen in the bottom right, default key b)
-Doubletap hotkeys (Press a button once for one hotkey, twice for a different one. Full default hotkey layout below)
-Right click can open profiles automatically like mobile
-Slightly cleaner codes (Hotkeys now signified by the command Hotkey(Slot, Row, Column))

Screenshot of new features in bottom corners:

Current Script (Ver. 2.5) Here
I would post the script in this post but it's too long now to fit within a forum post. Did you know that the limit is 11,000 characters?

This seems interesting, yet I have a few questions. How do I try this out?

Another question: Looking at your modified controls, would it be possible to make the PC imitate iEra's dual stick controls? Like adding the arrow keys for the second dual stick for shooting direction? Sparring was easier on the mobile version because of the dual stick controls, but on PC it's super hard because I have to dodge and move toward the enemy in order to face him/her just so my gun is pointed at my target and not anywhere else.

Installation is pretty simple!

1. Download and install autohotkey at this link: http://www.autohotkey.com/

2. Right click this link and hit "Save link as..." or it's equivalent on your browser: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-%20150713.ahk
---------Note: Save it in an easy to access location like your desktop

3. Run the ahk script you just downloaded and enjoy!

Most important controls:
~(tilde) to suspend controls to type and right-click normally (on/off toggle)
\ (forward slash) to exit EraAWSD

The rest you can figure out on your own in the guide above

Unfortunately this isn't easily doable as controls mess up when you're not in the middle of the screen. If this were to ever be made, I'd imagine you'd have to use your keypad to notate what your location is on screen manually. It wouldn't be as smooth as mobiles have it.

With EraAWSD, it is recommended you use your keyboard to move and mouse to shoot.

EraAWSD Update (Ver. 150915)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-%20150915.ahk

Basic Patch Notes
--------------------
-Supports 21 hotkeys due to recent in-game update (First 2 rows are single-tap double-tap, 3rd row is assigned to Alt+(hotkey))
-Gui added to display if play controls are active, or if you're in type mode.
-Version numbers changed to publish date for ease of recognition
-Numpad 1 triggers macro "/clearchat" (Copy-paste this block of code to create new macros) Macro may have issues
-Numpad 0 resets the script
-End sends PrintScreen (Use in conjunction with dropbox or other extension/program to have one touch screenshots)

Wouldn't it be possible to replica the ios controls better by placing the cursor to the far side of the screen instead of right next to your character? I noticed when using this that the cursor is way to close which makes it switch directions based on where you are. For example to shoot right the cursor should be all the way to the right of the screen, to shoot up it should be on the top, and so on.

Also the hotkeys are not working for me, it does nothing except shoot the gun I have equipped regardless what number I press.

I've heard that someone made their 360 controller work fairly well on the Facebook client with a small bug or two and all you have to do is make clicks very precisely? I always thought it wasn't possible because of how screen focus shifts in certain areas. Another idea I have in mind is getting an android emulator to run the mobile app and use an ahk script to click wherever the right stick is for shooting.

When you're trying one of the equip buttons, where does your mouse go? Is it missing the equip buttons? Does the hotkey swipe menu come out correctly?
