Valentin_'s DotA HotKeys (v1.5) (updated 10/16/09)

What it does: This Mod will allow you to have the same hot keys as the heroes in DotA for those heroes that are ported in HoN, and similar hotkeys for HoN only heroes.

[Sonic_Boom]

Very well done and put together :D

heres my ideas for the mod
1: toggle wut heroes you want to have the hot keys for (some people prefer the DotA keys for certain heroes but not all)

and if i come up with anything else ill edit this post or make a new :D

[Eccentrikit]

You shouldn't make it TeamChat, do GameMessage.

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Okay. But I still have the problem with the reloading of the code. Thus the message is displayed over and over again. I want it displayed only once.

I was thinking of putting an extra condition in the If Statement, but I'm not sure how to read a variable.

Basically what I was thinking was. Set up a global variable, call it dotaKeys_hero. Initially it is empty. When I evaluate the active name, I also compare this to the dotakeys_hero. The first time when I rebind the keys I also write the DotaKeys_hero variable, so next time that piece of code is executed, it will get stuck in the If condition.

Problem is I dont know how to write / read a variable inside that if statement. The watch attribute only lets me have a parameter so ...

[Pupp3tMast3r]

ADI: GameMessage won't let me do colors. It won't let me do spaces either :)

[Eccentrikit]

CreateBool(dotaKeys_hero', true);
If (dotaKeys_hero, Split(
Insert code here
Set(dotaKeys_hero, false)
))
Btw the name's Eccentrikit, or KIT... ADI is my clan tag lol

[Pupp3tMast3r]

I'm working on it. Actually I need something better than that, I'm just having problems now with concatenating two strings.

I'm declaring a string variable, then I want to display it something in the lines of



TeamChat('Version ' + dotakeys_version );


but I only get something like 1.10000 displayed ... any ideas? I've tried FtoA function (although the variable dotakeys_version is declared as a string ... ) ... maybe I'm not using the correct synthax to concatenate?

[Eccentrikit]

Try:


TeamChat('Version ' # dotakeys_version);

[MaxGhost]

I suggest you claim a number in the repository, then I'll add this to the .honmod repository.

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Alright I'll claim 060 then :) Mod updated to 1.1, all bugs fixed should be good to go now.

[MaxGhost]

Warchamp7 is the one that deals with the number claims, post the request in the repository.

[Eccentrikit]

Jerk, no credits to people who helped you... xD

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Haha, will add them in 1.2 :)

[Pupp3tMast3r]

PS It actually works better than I thought! :) If someone disconnects (read Rage Quits :P ) then if I control the hero, it changes the hotkeys. Select my hero back, it changes them back. G.G. :D

[Eccentrikit]

Exactly, thats the point of ActiveName

[SHJordan]

You need to make .s2z to get a number, or am I wrong?

[MaxGhost]

Yes, but I'll eventually add mods without numbers to the list.

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Alright, mod updated to 1.2, a bug with Pyromancer fixed, also added credits for [ADI]Eccentrikit (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=57379) :)

Updated the dl link, added the resources999.sz created (no other mods were enabled when this was created.)

wut bout me lol :D

also i think you should be able to toggle which heroes u want the keys for you should make a button that remembers the settings (the button would have check boxes with the heroes names and every hero that gets checked is the hero thats hotkeys will change)

should change the resource number

also not rlly important but in the mod man ur title says Valentin_'s DotaKeys (v1.1) when its 1.2 :P just thought i would say something :D

[gwho1]

is this like c for culling blade e for beserkercall?

when dota was the only game didn't ppl make mods so they can use qwer? chuckles =]

[Eccentrikit]

I made a program to do q/w/e/r and alt q/w/a/s/z/x for inventory xD

[gwho1]

oh, were u the one that made it and then S2 ipmlemented it to default? nvm ur tlakign about for dota.

for dota that would have been so badass. dotakeys were hard to figure out to setup for me so i never got to using them. mods for hon is way easy

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Sonic, thanks, updated to 1.3 to fix a bug, and the mod version :)

gwho, there are lots of people that are so used to Dota shortcuts such that it's much easier for them to transition.

the problem isn't with noobs, but with dota pro's, that once they get to HON they feel like noobs because they know what spells to do in the battle, however they keep pressing the wrong hot key (like I did.)

of course, people using q,w,e,r in DoTA (I don't think any real pro's do that ;) ) have no problems adapting.

@sonic again, I doubt I will go into as much hassle as creating the checkboxes and stuff :)

[Sonic_Boom]

its a nice mod i was just thinking cuz some people like the older keys for some heroes but they also miss the dota ones for some so yeh thats all i was thinking

[_Myth_]

imo this mod is useless... I don't know who wanna learn other keys.. and the funniest part is that the dota keys were after the first letter of the skill(in most cases) and here the skills are named are different... the best way to have your key skillz is one near the other

[Pupp3tMast3r]

Updated to 1.5 minor fixes as described in the changelog.

[jangbanger]

lol ok im a noob here, but i have no clue how to get this mod to work. i downloaded the file and put it in the correct folder, but still nothing happens. is it just me?

[Sonic_Boom]

wut file did you download honmod or s2z

[jangbanger]

honmod

[MaxGhost]

honmod
You need to download HoN Mod Manager, then drop the .honmod file in Heroes Of Newerth/game/mods after running the Mod Manager. Then hit F5, then file -> apply mods.

[Whytedawg]

how do i remove this mod?
i even tried reinstalling the game. it didnt work.

when i click disable and start HoN again, the keys are still not back to their defaults of QWER.

I tried unstalling from add remove programs...

clicking disable wont make it go back.... why?

when i put my other mods back after a reinstall of HoN, the valentine dota key mod is still there! wth?! why is that... and its enabled? i disabled it several times...

please help!

[MaxGhost]

Did you hit Apply Mods after disabling it?

After you disable the mod , go into Options -> Controls , and set your keys to default ;)

[allaemx]

thanks great mod

however i'd like to report a couple bugs i just encountered

keeper of the forrest (treant in dota) hotkeys are all wrong.

should be T, E, V, R

not F, G, B, unbinded (had to click icon all game).

also when shared control and clicking on ally hero or disconnected player, my keys completely reset, doesn't even switch to the other hero's set but just unbinds everything...

[Pupp3tMast3r]

The mod is old and might not be compatible with the current version of HoN anymore. If anyone wants to continue developing they have my permission.

[Rodah]

Anyone that has a version compatible with the patch? Can't be arsed to change my hotkeys everytime I play a game.

[MaxGhost]

Is it so hard to learn to play without these? The hotkeys are the same all the time, it should be really easy to get used to.

[Eccentrikit]

I really don't understand how hard it is to go from "random" set of hotkeys to a universal set of hotkeys...

[Pupp3tMast3r]

It's hard trust me. Another problem that I had is that in Dota there was no Q key, so I had that binded to the inventory key (num 1) for quick blinks, etc.

So I had to get used w/ my hon keys on W,E,D and R for ulti :)

[Rodah]

I've played Dota for three years, thus using the original binds. Now when I play HoN I just mix up the skills if I don't change them the way I'm used to. QWER just doesn't works for me.

Valentin, you wouldn't by any chance be able to update this mod? Would be very appreciated!

[MaxGhost]

Well, this is HoN. Time to learn.

[chibi22]

^people are different just leave them at what they do best and besides whats the use of MOD if they're not going to take advantage of it...

[Goonik]

can this be updated? Cause my bro can only play with dota hotkeys.

[Poon5tar]

i just changed the version requirement in the xml.

should work for now

[Ruttenko]

A friend of mine mixes up his hotkeys all the time and complains about not having the Dota hotkeys all the time. I took the liberty of updating this with all the new heroes. Here is the HoNmod file: http://www.mediafire.com/?9x4j66gh3u672dy

Ppl are actually using this? Well... I added it but tbh "QWER" is one of the reasons I never want to play DotA again ;).

Yes people are still using this, and if u were only able to use your brain you would have figured out that you can also do "QWER" settings in dota with "customkeys.txt"...

very hard to use... not.
