Long hotkeys

I'm using numpad for movement. I never run, though if I would, I would use numpad dot first. I moved all my hotkeys from the numbers to the numpad. The hotkeys are written right-aligned, and go much past the left side of the icons at both 32px and 64px.
I changed "[A]+[S]+Keypad +" to "ASK+" by changing game/engines/te4-1.0.4.teae/engine/KeyBind.lua to read
Code: Select all
if ctrl then sym = "C"..sym end
if shift then sym = "S"..sym end
if alt then sym = "A"..sym end
if meta then sym = "M"..sym end
sym = string.gsub(sym,"Keypad ","K")
This is a hack, and not the correct way to fix it. However, a visual change like this "offlines" the game, even when compressed again. Maybe hotkeys should bounce sideways like other text does when oversize.

Or just adopt his ASK labels into maingame. Certainly fits better. And having ctrl and alt versions of talents be right there on your movement keys, might actually be rather efficient.

I couldn't get an addon to over/superload engine/KeyBind.lua, so I just resized the hotbar so I could still tell what everything was (12x5)
Now my game is validated again and somewhat usable.

I made it into a one-liner for the Lua Console
Code: Select all
game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString2=game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString;game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString=function(...)return string.gsub(string.gsub(string.gsub(string.gsub(string.gsub(game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString2(...),"%[C]%+","C"),"%[S]%+","S"),"%[A]%+","A"),"%[M]%+","M"),"Keypad ","K")end
and the antidote
Code: Select all
game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString=game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString2;game.engine.KeyBind.formatKeyString2=nil
...woohoo, it works as an addon!
