Simple Alternative for Key Remapping

MRichards · 09-1-2007, 07:46 AM

This is a program to remap the cursor keys for FFR. It pre-dates the addition of in-game remapping. but improves on it by supporting all possible keys as well as dance-pads, guitar controllers etc. It also adds very convenient boo-out and try-again keys. It is designed to have the minimum of timing delay:
No longer available

Make sure the in-game remapper is set to the cursor keys

Screenshot:
No longer available

The program defaults to remapping FFR R1, and can remap the cursors for other windows or programs too. Unfortunately, R2 and Resonance use low level keyboard access and it doesn't work with them.

Minimum Specification

Works in Windows XP and Windows Vista (may need to use "Run as Administrator" in Vista).
I'm afraid I'm not a Mac or Linux programmer, sorry guys...

NOTE:
To get the absolute minimum of timing delay, the program injects a message hook directly into the target window. This is flagged up as a potential attack by many firewalls and spyware programs - because accessing another window's messages could indicate unauthorised activity. In fact, the program is harmless and simply needs access to the keyboard messages to do its job. However, to be open, I've put the entire project and source code on the above site, so it can be checked and compiled by those who know how.

I maybe would have added a key to be able to boo out quickly and such, but other than that very nice work. It even lags the game less than AHK does.

Good idea. Just a moment......
......clank....
.....clunk...
....scrape....

There - uploaded a new version (1.01) - now has a 'Boo Out' key.

**phe0nixblade** · 09-1-2007, 09:27 AM

Works really well!

**gnr61** · 09-1-2007, 09:30 AM

now make it for mac! =|

**blindreper1179** · 09-1-2007, 09:33 AM

when i go to open it, it says there's an application error.

tepsu · 09-1-2007, 09:39 AM

Good job all I can say, definetly easier to setup then AHK, lags less also and the boo out is a nice addon, but as gnr said, make it for mac

MRichards · 09-1-2007, 09:50 AM

Gnr61, tepsu: I don't have a Mac, and I don't know about programming them either, sorry...

blindreper1179: Do you get this error when you run the installer (FFR-Keymap 1.01 Setup.exe), or the program (FFR-Keymap)?

**blindreper1179** · 09-1-2007, 09:57 AM

i click it, it says install. i install it. i leave the box checked at the end to run it, and then it says application error.

MRichards · 09-1-2007, 10:07 AM

blindreper1179: I've been able to reproduce the error on one of my machines. I will come back with a fix shortly...

MRichards · 09-1-2007, 10:41 AM

I've fixed the "Application Error" bug reported by blindreper1179. Too busy to update the version number - so redownload version 1.01

**emerald000** · 09-1-2007, 10:45 AM

Nice work! AHK was laggy like hell on my computer, and this works wonder. Congrats on making such a simple, but complete program.

6/5 for this!

nintendo1980 · 09-1-2007, 10:52 AM

nice, ill try it

**blindreper1179** · 09-1-2007, 10:55 AM

alright, i'll redownload and try again.

**freakysnots** · 09-1-2007, 10:56 AM

Rofl at Boo Out.

101 Boos.

Lookie what I did.

**emerald000** · 09-1-2007, 10:59 AM

I don't know if it would be doable, but a "Try this song again" keymap would be great. Or you could only stay your mouse over the button and click on some key to try again.

**freakysnots** · 09-1-2007, 11:02 AM

Not a good idea because then the score will not register.

**blindreper1179** · 09-1-2007, 11:06 AM

redownloaded and it works ausomely.
thanks for this. i've been waiting for the ingame mapping, but oh well now.
thanks again.

**Fantasticone** · 09-1-2007, 11:18 AM
