Mapping Keys in FFR (WITH IMAGES) !!!!UPDATE 6/11/07!!!
use ffr built in keymapping. but continue to read if you want to use a pad or R2/Resonance NOTE: I have updated the actual code that you put into the ahk script, it allows you to suspend the script and unsuspend the script at a single keypress. Scroll down to see it Tired of having to use <V86 as a pseudo-spread setup in FFR? Tired of having to get accustomed to 2 different setups between Stepmania and FFR? Well, you've come to the right thread. In this thread I'm going to be teaching you how to use a program called Autohotkey for your key mapping pleasures. TABLE OF CONTENTS A. Setting up Autohotkey B. Setting up the Autohotkey script C. Running the Autohotkey Script D. Closing the Autohotkey script E. Other Cool Stuff F. Troubleshooting A. Setting up Autohotkey Step 1: Download Autohotkey Step 2: Install the program by double clicking the AutoHotkeyInstall.exe that you downloaded. (It would be wise that you restart the computer after installation) B. Setting up the Autohotkey script Step 1: Right click on the desktop, go to New, then click on New Autohotkey Script. Step 2: Right click the New Autohotkey Script.ahk on your desktop and click Edit Script. NOTE: THOSE CODES WILL NOT WORK ON RESONANCE OR R2, ONLY ON R1. Step 3. Add the following code to your script: Code:
a::Send {left} s::Send {down} k::Send {up} l::Send {right} ;Do not delete this, it allows you suspend and unsuspend the script at any ;time with ;a simple press of the ` button (next to the number on on the number row ;above the letters on your keyboard `::Suspend Code:
; ; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x ; Language: English ; Platform: Win9x/NT ; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com> ; ; Script Function: ; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder) ; m::Send {left} ,::Send {down} .::Send {up} /::Send {right} ;Do not delete this, it allows you suspend and unsuspend the script at any ;time with ;a simple press of the ` button (next to the number on on the number row ;above the letters on your keyboard `::Suspend C. Running the Autohotkey Script Just Double click the New Autohotkey Script.ahk. Simple as that. D. Closing the Autohotkey script Right click on the green H in the task bar and click Exit. E. Other Cool Stuff SUSPEND HOTKEYS: add this to your code if you havent already: ;Do not delete this, it allows you suspend and unsuspend the script at any ;time with ;a simple press of the ` button (next to the number on on the number row ;above the letters on your keyboard `::Suspend MAKING AN EXE: This is very useful. Right click on the script and click Compile Script. This will make a portable EXE that you can put on other computers and use as FFR hotkeys without installing AutoHotKey Numerous times. F. Troubleshooting My script isn't running or I get an error message when I start up the script! -Make sure that the syntax is correct. Look at the example above and make sure it looks like that. It won't exit! -Yes it will. If for some odd reason it wont exit when you click exit(and make sure you're doing it right!) then just delete the script on the desktop. Well that's about it. The reason I omitted using a pad is because no one wants to use a pad on FFR anyways lol. If you really want to, Figure it out yourself. If you want to use this somewhere else please ask permission because I worked hard on this. If anyone sees anything wrong please tell me and I will fix it ASAP *EDIT - An AHK code that works on R2/Resonance (thanks to the DtTvB) Code:
#SingleInstance Force JustEval(name, state) { Global If (jl%name% != "" && jl%name% != state) { jl%name% := state Return "Changed" } jl%name% := state Return "I" } Checkstate(name, state, key) { If (JustEval(name, state) != "I") { If (state) { Send {%key% Down} } Else { Send {%key% Up} } } jl%name% := state } JoyGet(b) { Global Joynumber Return GetKeyState("Joy" . b) } KGet(b) { Global Joynumber Return GetKeyState(b) } Loop { Checkstate("l", KGet("d"), "left") Checkstate("d", KGet("f"), "down") Checkstate("u", KGet("j"), "up") Checkstate("r", KGet("k"), "right") } `::Suspend This way it can work with freezes. MRichards' Simple Alternative for Key Remapping http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=77100 I've uploaded a very simple program to remap the cursor keys for FFR. I know this duplicates the work of jwcgator (AutoHotKey), but this is much simpler to set up, and has a minimum of timing delay: http://www.latent.demon.co.uk/ffr_keymap.html Screenshot: http://www.latent.demon.co.uk/images...screenshot.jpg The program defaults to remapping FFR R1, and can remap the cursors for other windows or programs too. It also supports dancepads, joypads, guitar controllers etc. 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.

Re: How to map different keys in FFR and Use a Dancepad
pretty nice though. fun to play ffr on spread. (which was not possible before on laptops).
edit: well on second thought this might be good and bad as it opens possibilities for double setups and whatnot. hmmm. Last edited by talisman; 05-2-2006 at 02:32 AM.. |

Oh sorry, and to exit this go to the taskbar, and right click on the H in the little tray. There should be "Exit AutoHotKey" or something to that effect. You dont have to delete the script

Re: How to map different keys in FFR and Use a Dancepad
Does that make it where you can play spread.
I play index on here. But on SM I play a mixture of Index and Spread. I'm not that good though. The best AA I've gotten on SM is Black Dragon Oni. |

Re: How to map different keys in FFR and Use a Dancepad
Go back to the Brag Boards, Juggalo. This isn't the place.
And yes, you can play spread, or index, or whatever. |

ok apparantly he didnt actually beat it, but he got a decent way through. what i'm saying is if he can do that at 200 bpm 16ths, why not gradeus thats only 180bpm 16ths. |
