This plugin adds a long list of new customizable hotkeys (Hks) to the Toolset, for the sake of ergonomics. For now, it consists essentially of shortcuts to a number of buttons on the main window, mainly useful to mappers, but it is meant to be extended to every shortcut that could be useful to some of you, even shortcuts to new functions.
So just let me know what shortcuts you would (really ;o) need and I will try to include them in the next update.
.: Current list :
- Hks for the buttons on the two toolbars,
- For the the Day/Night stages,
- For the Hide/Show and Selection filters.
.: To do :
- Opening the plugin to translation,
- Hk to switch between paint and select mode,
- To select the current area (to display its properties),
- For some of the items in the main menus,
- Hks pinched from Gloirin's HotKeyPlugin :o)
.: Source Code :
Open source is the plugin and its development is open to anybody willing to participate. The SVN depository is accessible here; if you want to become a member, contact me by e-mail (see my Vault profile).
Language: C#
.: Running old plugins on any toolset version :
It's feasible since january 2008, it's simple, and it works. See here.
I'll try here to give you better instructions than the ones given by PeeDee :
1/ Download the config file and put it directly into your Nwn2 folder.
2/ Open the file with a text editor. To do so, right-click on it, choose Open with and pick notepad in the list, or if it's not here, click on Choose program and pick notepad there.
3/ What you get is the code for a tiny XML configuration file. Find in this gibberish the three occurencies of newVersion=.
The first one is the version of the file OEIShared.dll, the second one is for SandBar.dll and the last is for NWN2Toolset.dll. All three files are in your Nwn2 folder too.
4/ Get the versions of these three DLL files. To do so, right-click on them > Choose Properties > Version tab. Copy the number you see (example : 1.0.1588.0).
5/ Replace the version numbers in the NWN2ToolsetLauncher.exe.config file with the ones you just found.
6/ Save. Done !
Important Note : Be aware that using not updated plugins might cause important bugs in the Toolset, as the Toolset is often modified with patches. So :
- If you encounter some bugs in the Toolset, get the updated versions of all your plugins and remove the ones that are not recompiled for the last patch before reporting the issues.
- When you patch the game, if you read in the patch notes that the Toolset has been modified, update your plugins.
Hey, didn't know that Mirdhyn and Myridian were the same person. :o)
Thanks for the comment, I'm pleased that the plugin is useful to you.
