No-Questions-Asked: Quick disconnect / quit button [Archive]

eNTi

08-29-2009, 01:44 PM

What it does:
Left mouse click -> Disconnect
Right mouse click -> Exit game

Both actions are instant, without-questions-asked!

http://www.divzero.at/nt/nqa.jpghttp://www.divzero.at/nt/nqa_skull.jpg

I wrote this mod, because I really hate to click 300 times to leave the game, or just to disconnect.

I basically USED two already existing mods as templates, to create mine:

http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=11604 (009)
http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=15174 (025)

Thx btw, credits go to those two guys. :)

NOTE: I'm using this mod on my widescreen monitor and it seems some people have problems with the mod. I've yet to find a reason and a fix for this. Any input (and testing) is welcome.

Changelog:
0.5 [15/03/2010] - Fixed honmod version by [AtO]nyx_ (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=102410),
0.4 [15/10/2009] - Added a honmod version (thx to FreshM), all icons included, but it defaults to the blue skull,
0.3 [29/08/2009] - Added a new icon (the old one is still there though),
0.2 [29/08/2009] - Fixed the "bug". I simply removed "reloadinterface", since it's not required in my mod anyways,
0.1 [29/08/2009] - Initial upload.

Installation:

Removed due to incompatibilities in the original mod. The honmod version works though!

nice work, you can include my disconnect button. Does the same thing but works on all screens. It's at the top of the post under disconnect http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=12218 (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=12218)

all you have to do is include the package in what ever you are using

makes my playing area black and the console says something about out of range. wish i had the exact message but i was in the middle of a game and had to crash it disable this mod and re-connect.

oh... damn
using widescreen here. i've yet to find out how to utilize relative coordinates. i thought that it should work the way i coded it... needs more work it seems. thanks for the info.

I tried the combination you got eNTi but 009 doesn't work. I've checked if there are any clashes and there are none lols.

eNTi

09-01-2009, 03:58 AM

To do relative:

align="right"
valign="top"

And your icon will be in the top right corner. Then to move it around from that position you add to 'y' to lower it, and you subtract from 'x' to move it to the left.
well... actually i did exactly that, because i thought it would work that way. no idea why BlackICE has this problem then.

@w3twiLLy:
i didn't make a combination of the two mods, just used both mods, to create mine. i'll clarify that.

i'm intending to combine mine with 009 though, because it think it's useful, but it's quite complicated to combine two mods as of now... not complicated in terms of coding, more in terms of logistics... i'd basically have to make a new mod, i don't think it's worth the effort really, unless more people are interested in that.

Misclicks happen with this, despite the tiny button :(

How about make it double-click left/right to disconnect/exit game

eNTi

09-09-2009, 05:43 AM

i could reposition it to the minimap... not sure about the double-click, but could work too. i'll check it out.

_Archangel_

09-10-2009, 08:32 PM

Played a bit more with more misclicks happening, the most common reason of the misclicks being trying to open the scoreboard. If that helps :)

It is sad there is demand for this, you weird rage quitting bastards. Do you guys rage quit in basketball too when you are losing in the first 15 minutes? I will never understand this childish nonsense.

Is basketball in beta mode? In basketball, do you never see the people you are playing against? Rage quit is a form of escape from getting owned in an online game, and it can't be compared to basketball.

Btw, great mod!

I still don't understand this mod. Why the hell would you ever want to quit the game or disconnect from a game? I don't think this mod is a good idea in any way, it just encourages leavers.

Don't you have to click on 3 buttons when the game is finished/concede'd (menu/disconnect/disconnect)?

Looking forward for modmanager version too.

yes, but having that button in the top right isn't a good idea because of possible misclicks... I just don't think it's a good idea at all.

tell me if i'm not seeing something, but pressing F10 and then clicking disconnect and ok again as three actions and not that big of a deal.

"The Useless Button" mod doesn't make it any simpler b/c it is also two (3?) clicks. Only in TUB u don't have a hotkey.

F10 -> click isn't so bad that it has to be turned into "click"

I personally don't want the disconnect button so easily clickable. a misclick could throw off ur game. (question: does clicking it bring up a confirmation box or just disc u right away?)

A more core suggestion to the HoN default UI would be to allow hotkeys for the discconect button after you press F10, and then have the "enter" button already selected for the "OK" after you click disconnect and the confirmation window comes up. That way it would be just like warcraft:
F10 -> E -> Q ->Q becomes
F 10 -> D -> enter

that's just me. others will love the mod i'm sure.

gwho, TUB does make it better because of the disconnect at game end add-on... when a shrine is destroyed, a leave button slides out from the top ONLY ONCE THE GAME ENDS, while this button is there all the time and probably will be abused by leavers and ragequitters. I WILL NOT convert this into a .honmod myself because I really think this mod is the worst idea and promotes leaving.

10-08-2009, 05:51 PM

hahaha it does promtoe leaving huh.

i see. thx for correcting me about TUB. i stopped using it

FreshM

10-08-2009, 09:20 PM

hmm ... i made a honmod version for me and some friends a while ago
can post it tomorrow
and on the topic of leaving:
me and my whole clan have been using it for nearly 2 months now
all of us have a leaver % of straight 0

10-08-2009, 10:13 PM

When I was using it, I had no issues misclicking My scoreboard is normally out to help me NOT click up there. Its simple as breathing and tlaking you multi task Everyday how hard is it to have to worry where uu click? U do for skills on targets....

Either way..

Im sitting on a 2 leaves from comcast sucking the big floppy donkey ...

But other than that NEVER misclicked the LITTLE button that shows

TUB would be BETTER if it would Read when the game was conceded and whatnot, JUST when the castles/shrines get killed is way too long for all those pub games that are poorly balanced by PSR.. overall for a fast way out of game, AFTER its done in anyway shape or form This is the fastest most simple way out.

lets put it into a refrence that u cant put into TUB (but yes TUB is a good mod) say ur graphics just got a fed up and ur looking at so random texture but u need to leave and rj quickly boom just right click the button at the top and just re open the game tub does not allow that (in a quicker form)

HONsoL0

10-10-2009, 05:16 AM

TUB isn't crap...okay maybe i was a little harsh but the leave add on for tub isn't the best by any means.

First off the fact that a i have a FAT annoying green arrow on the top left hand side of my screen ruins it for me. The mp3 player is too much work to setup does anyone have winamp or windows media player? I think so!

The leave button is good when you actually finish a game but Say you have a full team of leavers and you have conceded the game there is no button that slides out SO i can use this mod to simply click and BAM!!!! i am back to looking for a game to play.

Or if the other team leaves or concedes i never see the leave button. The only time i see it is when the main is destroyed and that isn't necessarily the best.

Overall this mod is much more quicker and looks a hell of a lot better IMO. I'm sure these could be added to TUBs disc ad don but its currently lacking things i enjoy. Not to say everyone enjoys what i do.

I really don't think the promotes rage quits either...people who are going to rage quit are going to do it anyway. An easier way to exit isn't going to promote that....come on

i did misc lick in a game but i reconnected pretty quick.

When you use the mod are the buttons blue still? Mines just a grey x

10-10-2009, 07:30 AM

if you're talking about the only button this mods adds
yes i included a different texture (didn't like the skull/cross)
imho this fits better into the interface
if you want to change it just replace the texture and name it the same
(open .honmod file via a zip editor)

eNTi

10-10-2009, 08:38 AM

thanks that you did the .honmod version. i was too lazy anyway. as for the icon... well i made it myself and didn't want to put too much effort into it. could i probably add your texture, to my package as well? even though i think my mod is going to be pretty outdated, since you made a .honmod version already. :)

i do agree, that the placement is far from perfect. i've miss clicked twice already in a stressful game, so this can happen. i was asking for advice on the placement, but no one really had anything to say about it, but that it was "bad" :).

about ragequits... well... all has been said. if you wanna rg you will do it regardless of a faster way. i never rg and i didn't make it that spirit either. i just was sick of clicking a thousand times on awkwardly placed buttons, just to leave the game.

^ my setiments. i dont tihnk it's crap but the utility could be provided without the main button. i have regular media players, and i'd love to take advantage of the leave button if it didn't take up the room.

- like the fram/ping. just bind that to F3 or something and have it cycle.
- the leave button automatically popping up can be left at that. this is great
- it's not like u can reorganize/swap the music files during game right? u do it outside of the game. this is nice for those that don't have media control buttons on their keyboard, but i'd rather not have the extra button for this.

i'd like to take advantage of the first two functions, but i'ts not that worth it imo.

is there anyway you could do me a huge favor and do it for me? Im sure its easy to you but for me im not to savy with making mods. Im not saying the texture you provided is bad its just not as prominent as the blue skull.

I would greatly appriciate it!

i know who the creator of this mod is but he hasnt converted it to .honmod format therefor i cannot use it. And freshM made a new version but he changed the image it uses. I was simply asking him if he could take the time to convert the regular disc mod to .honmod format. That is all.

if you're talking about the only button this mods adds
yes i included a different texture (didn't like the skull/cross)
imho this fits better into the interface
if you want to change it just replace the texture and name it the same

it has somthing to do with honmod structure.

open up the honmod file with 7-zip (or other zip programs) and you'll find a folder "nqa_button"

regularly, when you open a honmod file, you will see the "mod.xml" file right away, for this mod, its in another folder.

quickfix: open the "nqa_folder" and move its contents out of it into the same directory as the "nqa_folder"

so it should look like this when you open up the honmod:
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5438/dwm2010030621244891.th.png (http://img192.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dwm2010030621244891.png)
(the nqa_folder is no longer needed once you take out the files in it)
