Hot Key Assignment?

[vsadek]

Attached is the ZIP archive and inside is PzC.exe file. Extract this file and place it wherever you like: your desktop, create some separate folder etc.

This EXE file is actually compiled AutoHotkey script. In this way you don’t have to download or install any other component from AutoHotkey. I tested this script end execution with success under: Win XP, Win 7 and Win 8.

To run it just do usual mouse double-click. Once started it will place icon in a tray, in this way you will know script is active.



I tested this script on all PzC titles (with latest updates applied) except: El Alamein ’42, Moscow ’41 and Sea Lion ’40.

Once active together with PzC game it will add and activate following hotkeys:

Ctrl+F - toggle Fixed Units
Ctrl+S - toggle Spotted Units
Ctrl+U - toggle Used Movement Points
Ctrl+D - toggle Disrupted or Broken Units
Ctrl+L - toggle Low Ammo or Fuel
Ctrl+T - highlight Travel Mode

To stop script from running, right-click tray icon and choose EXIT or use Ctrl+Q hotkeys for same effect.



As stated before, this script is not perfect in any sense. It will malfunction if toolbar is not positioned in a top row. This is due to the method used within script and my lack of real deep knowledge of AutoHotkey scripting language. Somebody more experienced and versatile with AutoHotkey could probably do it far more better.

Additional bonus: although conceived mainly for use with PzC titles, this script is also compatible with WWI: France ’14.

Unfortunately, it is incompatible with Napoleonic Battles series. This requires separate script due to the different toolbar buttons arrangement in NB GUI.

Have fun!
