SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [WIP] Automatically put the WO on watch! (BETA)

It's working!

Now I need some alpha testers.
This is only alpha so it has a lot of restrictions, namely:

You must run SH3 in fullscreen (actually it might work in a window too, but I've not tested that yet).
You must run SH3 in 1024x768 resolution.
You must be an OLC Ubermod v2.4.2 user (if you're using an earlier version than v2.4.2 then you'll get JSGME conflicts).
You must not use any driver-level colour/brightness/gamma changes in your graphics card settings (other GC settings can all be set however you like).

As time goes on I plan to lift these restrictions one at a time, but for now some initial testing would be nice.

If you meet the above criteria and would like to try the "mod" then please click here and follow the instructions below. Feedback is welcome!

Installation
The download contains a folder called 'OLC GUI Special with Automatic Watch (alpha)' which should be placed in your JSGME 'MODS' folder. You need to enable this mod instead of OLC GUI Special.
The download also contains an executable. Put this anywhere (e.g. on your desktop) and before you launch SH3, double-click on it. A green 'H' icon (AutoHotKey - a program I know some folks here are familiar with) will apear in your system tray. While SH3 is running it will fire the macro to put you and your WO on deck. The rest of the time it does nothing at all and uses no CPU power, so you can actually just have it running all the time if you like, otherwise you can right-click on it and press Exit when you've finished playing.
