I've added support to use ScanCodes instead of VKey codes in macros. Macros that use ScanCodes will work in a wider variety of games. I've tested both timed and multikey macros in Dragon Age Origins where VKey macros do not work ScanCode macros do.
All your old macros should still work fine, you'll have to manually convert them to ScanCode macros if you want them to work in games that use DirectInput. By default all new macros are ScanCode macros.
This is a list of ScanCodes for most of the basic stuff - you'll need to convert them to decimal.

Seem to have a problem recording any macros ie CTR + E. Using win 7 64bit
ReplyDeleteYou need to select multikey macro and add the two keys (press insert in the left hand panel and edit).
ReplyDeleteI run Win7 64bit and I use similar macros almost exclusively.
I hope that Rob doesn't mind that if I post this.
ReplyDeleteBut, I made a small C# application that will quickly (but, crudely) convert your messages or whatever into the decimal form needed for making macros.
I know it is easier to look them up or whatever. But, I figured it would be nice if you were typing out a message or something.
Anyway: http://themashew.com/Downloads/DecimalCreator.zip
Whatever. I know it is crude, I like it. I figured someone else might want it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your help!
ReplyDeleteI'm having lots of problems running the utility app - it takes up to 2 minutes to refresh after clicking on anything, meanwhile the window title gets "Not responding".
ReplyDeletee.g. From the main form, I left-click on "NEW MACRO". For about 40 seconds, the main form goes "not responding", then it suddenly repaints and the macro form draws. But then the macro form takes around 2-3 minutes to finish painting/drawing before I can start entering keycodes. Once I've entered the keycode, and renamed the macro, when I click "OK", it takes about 50 seconds then the form disappears. Then the main form is repainted with no macros in the list, and "not responding" in the title, then it takes around 3 minutes while it slowly repaints and moves on the screen slightly, then delays, then moves and repaints the macros field, then delays, then moves and repaints again, etc, etc, etc.
Interestingly, the very FIRST macro doesn't take this long - but each subsequent macro takes geometrically longer to do.
This is on an unloaded system, running W7 Ultimate x64, latest video drivers, etc, and all up to date. MB is a quad Opteron 2.6GHz, with 4G ECC DRAM and 4TB data raid, 500G boot SATAII IDE.
The sole user on this system has full admin priveleges.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I was working with Hydra and Rymo a couple of years ago trying to get the USB DX1 drivers working.
FWIW, Larry at Ergodex informed me that the new 64-bit W7 drivers are being worked on...
I don't know what the long delay issue would be.
ReplyDeleteLiterally all it's doing when you create macros is winforms stuff. Macros are all client app side.
It's quite possible there is a bug, but I'm also running Win7 X64 Ultimate, and I don't se the issue.
The only thing I can suggest short of building it in VS and attaching a debugger to establish what it's waiting on is deleting any existing macro files.
I think for this one may need bluetooth numeric keypad. Which one to choose?
ReplyDeleteI found the article on choosing one, maybe it will be useful for somebody
http://bluetoothnumerickeypad.com/
I was beating my brains out because I couldn't correctly assign the Tab key; it kept giving me an 8. After unchecking the box next to "Use Scancodes" in that particular macro it worked as I intended.
ReplyDeleteHello! Mashew again.
ReplyDeleteI never realised that someone actually wanted to use my shabby software, but someone who wanted to use my keypad thingie tracked me down.
So, I figured I would give a new URL to get it from: themashew.com/DecimalCreator.zip
Rob,
ReplyDeleteIn the MacroEditor, there is a checkbox to "Use Scancodes". My understanding is that I must convert these Scancodes to decimal first in order for them to work.
How does one convert the scancodes that you provided to decimal?
For some reason my follow-up post didn't show up here. In order to avoid Rob having to post a response to my previous question, here it is again.
ReplyDeleteI discovered that in order to convert, for example, "#define DIK_F10 0x44" to decimal, the trick is to disregard everything but the last two digits, the "44". That's the hex. Then you can use the Windows calculator to switch between "hex" and "dec" for each value.
I've included the full list of converted scancodes below. The number following each equals (=) sign is the actual scancode that you'd enter into Rob's Macro Editor for that particular key.
Also, make sure you have the "scancodes" checkbox checked in order for these to work!
