Topic: Descent 1/2 cheat keystroke AHK script

[Schala]

Update 3/19/11: Fixed a typo in the rapid fire binding and changed the upper key tier bindings to put in LPNLIZARD. Also highlighted D2X-XL exclusive cheats in green. DXX-Rebirth is in orange

I wrote the following AutoHotkey script which binds Descent cheat keystrokes to certain buttons, thus saving time if you feel a bit cheaty. There's preset key bindings in the script, which I will present in a moment. I recommend that you delete all of Descent's alphabetic key bindings before using this! You could just accidentally have the script fire off 5 proximity bombs otherwise...

Anyway here are the default bindings. Feel free to change them, provided you've read up on AHK syntax and know what you're doing... By the way, these work with both D1 and D2, but just be sure to use the right button combos lest your shield and energy drop to 1.

- Regular cheats in white
- D2X-XL cheats in green
- DXX-Rebirth in orange (needs to be added)

Alt-Q = GABBAGABBAHEY
Alt-W = RACERX
Alt-E = GUILE
Alt-R = AHIMSA
Alt-A = FARMERJOE
Alt-S = POBOYS
Ctrl-Q = ALMIGHTY
Ctrl-W = ITSAROCK
Ctrl-E = SCOTTMEUP
Ctrl-R = LEMONTREE
Ctrl-T = LPNLIZARD
Ctrl-Y = WILDFIRE
Ctrl-U = GOWINGNUT
Ctrl-I = HESTHEONE
Ctrl-O = IMAGESPACE
Ctrl-A = CRYPTONITE
Ctrl-P = SILKWING
Ctrl-S = PITAPITA
Ctrl-D = SPANIARD
Ctrl-F = FREESPACE
Ctrl-G = DELSHIFTB
Ctrl-Z = MINEMINE
Ctrl-X = HELPVISHNU
Ctrl-N = SUBSPACE
Ctrl-M = PUMPMEUP

And here's the script. Copy and paste it into an AHK script and then run it. Be sure to turn it off by its tray icon after you exit the game, or you can see what it does in Notepad if you want to.

If you play DXX-Rebirth, copy and paste the following after the line with SetKeyDelay:

Code: [Select]

; todo

[Pumo]

Just in case someone here wonders, some of the cheats included are D2X-XL cheat codes (e.g. subspace, minemine) but you can use the script also with Rebirth without any issues.

[Scyphi]

I figured as such. I had almost forgotten D2X-XL even had it's own set of cheat codes, it's been so long since I used 'em. And the only one I really knew of was "subspace". I think. That's the one that makes you jump to a specific cube in a level, right?

[Schala]

Yeah. Sorry, I forgot about Rebirth. Well... I guess there's no harm done.
