Test++ [v1.46] (July 30, 2011)

[Quzzap]

Hello, here's another mod from me (based on the previous Test++ by Sephinator)

Test++v1.46 (Compatible with HoN v2.*)
As of HoN v2.3.0.0 Test++ has been officially implemented.
Here is a link if you somehow still want to download the honmod (v1.46).

What does this mod do?
This mod will extent your practice mode experience by quite a bit.
It gives you a lot more (and easier) control over your hero, creeps, items and spawning other units while in practice mode.
Bringing up the Test++ window(s) when watching a replay will still allow you to use several features (like the skybox, and camera controls).

Features:

• Repick your hero while the practice game stays intact!
• Reload Textures, Models and the Game Interface with simple buttons.
• Enable dynamic reloading.
• Change Max/Min camera distance (value can be changed in options).
• Enable Free-Flight camera.
• Control camera smoothing.
• Set pretty sky boxes.
• Toggle Wireframe and Model Textures.
• Pathing (+ Advanced Pathing) information being drawn of the selected unit.
• Stats Panel of the selected unit.
• Simple FPS viewer
• NavGrid (JukeSpot Finder)
• Instantly switch between Day or Night!
• Picture-in-Picture frame that shows what your hero is seeing from a first-person perspective
• Record your own replay in a practice game and view it like any other replay!
• Truly remove Fog of War
• Reset gold to 603 or 853
• Taunt ability can be unlocked

• Bind Refresh and Kill commands
• Toggle Auto Refresh cooldowns of the selected unit, yeehaa skill/item spamming!!

• Control over trees, spawning / killing (spawn intervals can be changed in the options)
• Spawn all neutrals (spawn intervals can be changed in the options)
• Spawn Kongor

• Boost your Hero's Max HP/MP, HP/MP Regen, Attack Speed or Moving Speed (changeable values in the options)
• Change the Game Speed with a slider (range from 1% to 200%) or with buttons (up to 999%) or pause instantly.

• Searchable Items with proper Item names!
• Searchable Entities with proper & auto corrected Hero names! And fixed Neutral/Powerup names! (the names of Creeps, Buildings, Critters, 'Pets' and Gadgets are untouched.)
• Heroes have icons :fors::chro: in front of them as well.
• Searching is aided with an Auto Complete List to speed things up even more.

All these features are explained in the in-game help window, so make sure you read them!

How to add your own stuff to the Entity and Item lists:
Extract the testppItems.cfg and testppSpawner.cfg files from the honmod (or download them from the links ).
Put them in this folder: My Documents/Heroes of Newerth/game and open it with your favorite text editor.
What to do from here should be described in the files themselves
When you're done editing the files, save them and re-open the Spawner or the Items window and it should be updated.
Have fun messing around!

See this screen shot for most of the features:


A pretty screen shot with sky box enabled:


Known Bugs:

1. When starting another practice game without restarting hon, the Test++ button doesn't show up.
Solution: Press F10 twice (enables/disables the game menu) or use your own hotkey to toggle the Test++ windows (can be setup in the Test++ Mod Options).
2. When using Ctrl+Click to quickly spawn units, the next time you're using a target ability it spawns the last unit again. (engine bug?)
Temporary solution: Spawn the last unit without pressing Ctrl (this will change the cursor back to normal).

Changelog:

v1.46 (July 30, 2011)
- Fixed for 2.1.0.1

- BuffPanel removed again, S2 removed it.
- Re-added Sell all items in your inventory button
- Added option to never open spawner/item list when toggling Test++ windows.
- Fixed hotkeys not working when and after using the mouse to spawn items and entities, using enter while the textbox is active will still keep the textbox active.

- Fixed first load warning messages and cleaned up some more code.

v1.43 (May 22, 2011)
- Alt avatars don't show up in the spawner window anymore since S2 removed them from the list, now I don't know how I can get the information I need to spawn Alt Avatars.

- All hero/building/etc models can be seen far in the distance when in Camera Distance and FreeFlight mode.
- BuffPanel added, lists all active (de)buffs of your selected unit.

- When recording a replay for the first time cg_replayPrecacheAll will be set to true, so Test++ recorded replays play correctly. (Thanks to PANCZASU)

- Fixed spawner and help graphics.

v1.42 (December 20, 2010)

- Cleaned the code a bit.

v1.41 (December 15, 2010)
- Compatible with HoN 2.0

- Buttons/features that don't work (or crash the game) are disabled when viewing a non-local replay.
- Right-clicking on the Refresh! button results in auto refreshing the selected unit (HF spamming skills :P).

- Added changelog.txt in the honmod.

v1.30 (November 5, 2010)
NOTE: If you updated to v1.30, it is recommended to delete these existing variables: (Test++ variables start with testpp_ in your startup.cfg which is located in "My Documents\Heroes of Newerth\game\startup.cfg")
testpp_spawnCreeps, testpp_spawnPowerups, testpp_spawnTrees, testpp_team_legion, testpp_team_hellbourne, testpp_team_passive, testpp_team_neutral, testpp_spawnerOwner.
and all variables that start with 'testpp_' and end with 'WinX' or 'WinY'
- Rewrote the way of handling the Entity and Item lists, now supports custom entries that can be renamed easily in a separate configuration file. (inspired by xHomicide)
- Fixed a known bug, checkboxes now work on first use. (Thanks Nostaustang!)
- Added adjustable setting for minimum camera distance, merged in Max Camera Distance button which is renamed to Camera Distance and moved to Camera Options. (Suggested by Nigma)
- Added Camera Smoothing toggle, included in Camera Options. You can also adjust the positional and angle smoothing amount with sliders. (Nigma)
- I'm now using Movable Frames for all my windows, this will unfortunately reset your window positions to default. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Added a Picture-in-Picture feature, this shows what your selected unit sees from a first-person perspective. You can adjust the Field of View angle of the PiP frame. (Suggested by BlacRyu)
- Toggling windows via the main panel buttons now saves the toggling state. This results in all Test++ windows that are open are now toggled correctly.
- You can now unlock the Taunt ability in practice mode. (Requested and solved by kevs926, thanks for the easy solution!)
- Test++ doesn't require the Mod Options Framework anymore (it has been built in the game). Added, removed and adjusted some options.
- The mod.xml is now saved in UTF-8 to be compatible with the new Java Mod Manager.
- Updated help accordingly to all new features, updates and changes.
- Lots of internal clean ups, condensed some triggers, moved the panel order around, improved some code on the buttons, got rid of some old templates and made a new template.

NOTE: If you updated to v1.20: You need to delete all lines starting with SetSave "testpp_ from your startup.cfg (Located in "My Documents\Heroes of Newerth\game\startup.cfg") for all the features to work correctly (this will reset all Test++ configurations)!
- Added Fayde in the Entity search list
- Added compatibility with Enhanced HoN (honmod version only), these will be added at the end of the original hero/item list, instead of merged alphabetically.
- Window positions are now saved. (Suggested by MaxGhost)
- Reworked the way to toggle windows. Instead of setting up several windows you want to toggle in the options, it now toggles any open windows via a hotkey or you can setup the Test++ button to behave like this aswell.
- Added a reset windows position button in the options.
- Cleaned up some code of Main/Extra window toggle buttons.

Future Plans:

[normal] Improve searching through the listboxes with hiding non-matches of the query (this needs a complete rewrite how to search through the list).
[low] Add fogType and fogColor to the options for pretty fog effects.

Requested but unknown how to solve/add/fix:

- Cast speed and channeling speeding adjustable via the options. (Suggested by WiggWam)
- Spawn/control mega creep in lanes. (Suggested by Naith)

[Cruzada]

huhu, very nice job, tested and aproved =)

[Sephinator]

Nice for enhancing it. :P

[[S2]ElementUser]

Super

Excellent, Navgrid is SO FANCY. Allows you to see the precise pathing.

I guess the only "complaint" I have is the new Spawner where you have to press "Enter" to select the unit to spawn after highlighting 1 of the units instead of it automatically selecting the unit to spawn. But that isn't too much of a big deal.

I don't suppose the gamespeed could be slowed down to 0.05x speed, could it? :O

It could. :P

Values is from 0.01 - 100.

Protip: host_timescale 0.01 (In console)

I can't add more speed buttons, but I could make the slider go to 0.01 (1%) in the next version.

I could make it that if you click one in the list, your cursor changes and you're able to spawn the unit, but that would require you setting up the team & controlable unit before doing so. I'll have a look what I can make via mod options framework this weekend

[[S2]ElementUser]

Thanks for considering my feedback .

Also there's a typo that sort of bugs me; at the top of the window, it says "Selected Uni", but I know Uni should be "Unit"

[NiGHTsC]

Yay!!
No more PMNC!! No more missing icons in MatchStats!!

Good job and Thank you Quzzap


Back to topic
Nice job for enhancing it, it does looks much more useful now, funny "Extra Options"

Two thoughts...
1. Can you change to this? Spawn and Item's drop lists will auto dropdown once you click in
2. another layout idea of Spawn/Item


by the way, can you still bring "Remove Hero" back even though S2 removed it?

[Quzzap]

Technically its not a typo but a panel being cut off because you use a different resolution then I do and so % of height/width are calculated differently and text is being cut-off. I need to find a way where everything I do is the same for everybody else :P

To be clear you mean this: when activating/focusing on ANYWHERE in the spawner/items window you want it to focus the textbox (for typing) and opening the auto complete list?
If so, I think I can make it work but I"ll have to see how this works out. Also that layout is better.
Also, no I can't bring remove hero button back.

Thanks for your suggestions, but unfortunately I'll be busy the next week (including this weekend). I can't promise much improvement for now.

Updated to v0.92

v0.92 - Changed to dropbox auto updating. /!\ You need to redownload the honmod for this! /!\

Sort of...
What I meant was, after moving the races(Neutral,Legion,Hellbroune) to the right side, you could have the Spawn/Item lists being dropdown all the time, since there's lots of empty place on the bottom...

Sigh, why they remove it T_T

Thank you for considering my suggestions and please take your time to work on it, time makes great job

[[S2]ElementUser]

Is there any way to change from daytime to nighttime at will? It'd be another great feature

Is there an option to get back anytime to the Hero Selection Screen and choose another hero?

[Quzzap]

Is there an option to get back anytime to the Hero Selection Screen and choose another hero?

Not right now, because of the new interface the command broke (RemoveHero in console), this brings you back to the menu but without the hero selection screen. I don't know how to fix it.

[Harmonium]

the patch notes said that the remove hero functionality was removed for whatever reason, so it probably won't be back until s2 decides otherwise
