I really enjoyed the fact that you can scroll the map by moving your mouse to the very edge of the screen, but I wasn't happy with the fact that the game didn't lock your mouse into its window if you play the game in windowed mode.

I wanted to have the best of both worlds, so I came up with this script. It's a good amount of borrowed code from "corrupt", a user here on the AHK forums. I've modified the code a little so that it doesn't go all the way to the top of the window (bar and all), and doesn't go to the very edges of any side of the screen. Also, it's now activated with CapsLock.

But I don't play HoN..

Also, on a script-related note, I'm going to throw in a hotkey to exit the script, just in case anything goes wrong and your mouse is stuck (shouldn't happen). Sure, you can ctrl+alt+delete and navigate with your keyboard to kill it, but that's a pain.

I was hoping more people would try this out and give feedback..I guess I can't expect a lot of people to browse the AHK forums AND just so happen to play SC, huh? :p

I can play through my friend's account, but not very often. Also, my laptop fan just went out on me, so I'm out of a gaming computer altogether for another week or so. :[

Ya, the code works find.
Except you will need to change the controls for minimap ping in order to use it.
Which you probably already figured out.

Thanks. Ran across this thread while searching for a solution to the windowed-mode mouse-scrolling issue, and discovered AutoHotkey at the same time. Smile

One note: In Windows 7 and Vista, the first three occurrences of “4” need to be changed to “8”.

It works...sorta. This is the TYPE of software I have been looking for, i really want to be able to play windowed (not fullscreeN) and be able to still use the side scrolling, now here is my problem with this:

When I move the mouse to the edge to scroll, sometimes the mouse actually passes the GAME, and stops on the BORDER of the window, and with the cursor on the border of the window it does not scroll, so I need to move the mouse back a couple pixels to make it scroll

I hope that makes sense, and I really hope there is a fix to it (in the coding or someting) or even if theres a way I can remove my border on the window? I think that would work, idk how to do that tho

I use Windows Vista 64 by the way

Ok, regarding the above mentioned error: that can be fixed by removing the borders in windows vista by going to Appearance, advanced, turning border padding to 0, this fixes everything EXCEPT

the TOP still cannot be scrolled, PLEASE fix this Smile

Ok, I was the above poster of both of above comments, and I have resolved both of them, heres how:

The problem of the cursor not stoppig and going into the window border is resolved just by changing your computers Appearance Settings in advanced to Border="0" instead of 4 or w/e the number is, this way now the cursor stops right where the SC2 video ends

The second problem was not being able to scroll up. I messed around in the script and resolved this, all you need to do is modify the original script at ONE part in the script:

UChar,(llY + 30) >> 8*A_Index- Cool

Just change the 30 to a 25 and BINGO, save the script, close the script, reopen it, done

Awesome script! I just helped a guy who needed help with SC2 with it, and he was most grateful. If I played Windowed mode, I'd love it.

Heck, I even think [url="http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=104154"]day[9][/url] referred to the lack of this functionality in an episode somewhere.

Hi, I'm a complete newb to using scripts and I'm just where exactly am I supposed to put the above script in my Stacraft 2 folder?

Thanks in advance! =)

This is the AUTOHOTKEY forum. not the STARCRAFT 2 MACRO forum.
therefore you need AUTOHOTKEY to run these scripts. AUTOHOTKEY is not designed for STARCRAFT. AUTOHOTKEY is designed for Windows and anything Windows related.

so now learn where you are and what you need to download (hint: AUTOHOTKEY). and after that, read the tutorial to learn how to use it.

ps: you will also be banned if caught.
