Since I don't like competetive online games and don't want to support games that seem to rely on the modding community to make them work, I never upgraded to MWO or MW5 - but I might change my mind. The layout should be flexible enough for other Mechwarrior games. I will probably make it available as part of the project. are mapped to Mech Warrior II keyboard commands that can't be changed. Since I couldn't find a font that matches the inspiration, I made my own. When you have the right controller for the right game, you're handicapped only by. Instead of the regular green seen in the game, I wanted an amber/yellow color scheme inspired by the turret interfaces in the Alien movie sequel. I prepared a pixel-accurate mockup of what the interface will look like. So I decided to include an LCD display with a custom interface to give feedback from the game.
I thought that a nice-looking panel with some buttons connected to an arduino would be some work but trivial in the end. I became obsessed with building a custom UI for the game and don't really know why. MW4: Mercenaries is a game I loved to play in my youth and has aged really well in my opinion, especially the modded MekTek MekPak version that used to be available for free - and should still be available after a quick search. With all the memory addresses available, I was able to write an OpenFrameworks sketch that accesses them and displays their content on a custom graphic interface. So if anyone has an idea, please hit me up. Especially the latter is really sad since it is such an important UI element. I have no idea how to get the firing groups and the radar content due to the way Cheatengine works. I extracted dozens of parameters and some are still missing. Parameters like "Speed" or "Engine heat" were relatively easy to find but other stuff was a nightmare. So I bit the bullet and used Cheatengine to find the memory addresses where the game's variables are stored. The crew that made the MekPaks seem to have had access to some tools that are not publically available. It's not like there is a nice software interface like some flightsims have and apparently Mechwarrior 4 is a nightmare to mod. The cobwebs are so dense that a helping hand may be needed to brush away the. Now from the above output i want to get the ID where name = Admin_UserGroup.I didn't find an easy way of extracting the data that I needed for the interface from the game. A period of three hundred and sixty-five disappointments. Thinking harder now I left speed control to the numbers and set 's' to forward/reverse changing. Would prefer if the solution doesn't involve any third party programs like AHK, although I'm willing to go that route if there's nothing else. Also made sure to add 'shift +' to any of the controls overwritten by this setup.
I've played around with MS PowerToys, it looks possible to create a mapping to one of the VK (Virtual-Key) codes, but it's a little unclear to me how to bind an output of executable/script to it (should be possible through registry editing?). More concretely, I'd like to speed up my workflow by having ability to generate guid's on demand in the quickest way possible, so I'd like remap Ctrl+G to execute ::NewGuid() and then immediately output it in whichever active area is selected. This fourth full release in the series includes background stories and specifics that support these Mech battles with a detailed plot and comprehensive settings. I'm looking for a way to bind a custom shortcut (say Ctrl+G) in such a way, that upon pressing it I'd get a small powershell/cmd command executed and the contents of which would be then either pushed to the clipboard or just outputted directly as a paste.
