springsetting and uikeys.txt

[zwzsg]

SpringSetting should not touch my uikeys.txt until I tell it to.

Please add a 'save' button to the Hotkeys tab, and do not do anything with my uikeys.txt until I click it.

This.

+1.

I allways have to use some old springsettings as newone tries somthing funky with my uikeys. Dislike.

Ok guys, I will do a save-button. Seems to be the only solution. But maybe I may add that I think its a pity that none of you guys tried to explain your problems in a way that would have helped to really fix that stuff.

I can help VBS:

use attached file in your spring, launch spring settings and u ll get message i get (that new profile is created but it seems that it cannot get loaded next time or sth)

[very_bad_soldier]

Wow, thats a hell of a binding file, thanks! I will consider this beast my worst cast testing scenario. I will look into it.

Btw:
More non-working uikeys.txts are welcome.

@gine:
Found (and fixed) two bugs in the hotkeys stuff, your uikeys.txt is working now in my version. One bug was related to having comments right after a binding command. The other was related to keys that have more than 9 commands assigned. You will find a binary in the springlobby package soon I think.
You probably still dont want your uikeys.txt to get completely reordered when using springsettings, right? Must have been some days of work to write that beast.

As long as it does not touch my file I will use new springsettings. Glad u found error.

I guess your user friendly editor will help new players, not IT pros like me

Yea its a big binding file, but very usefull to me.

I've pulled vbs' fixes into my master and prepared a build of that for you guys to test before I release it into mainline SL: http://www.springlobby.info/temp/builds ... bugfix.zip

As long as it does not touch my file I will use new springsettings.

Well, at the moment it still does. But I am thinking about something like this:
If you dont want springsettings to modify your uikeys.txt you put the line

Code: Select all

//SPRINGSETTINGS DO NOT TOUCH

somewhere in your file.
If springsettings sees this it runs away in fear and wont even think about touching your file.

The advantage is that the regular springsettings behavior does not have to be changed (no cluttered UI -> keep it clear and simple for noobs). But uikeys-hackers still have an easy method to tell springsettings to stay away. Maybe that keyword could be documented in the default uikeys.txt.

+1 on the marker idea vbs

[koshi]

Test the build I linked and report back already.

[very_bad_soldier]

Btw I implemented that marker stuff koshi, also another bug fix. Maybe you want to do another build Thanks

[koshi]

Done.
Updated archive at http://www.springlobby.info/temp/builds ... bugfix.zip

[very_bad_soldier]

springlobby.exe?

[koshi]

meh, was faster to just run a build of my windows buildbot.
Added standalone settings exe now.

[koshi]

I don't understand you people, seriously.

[zwzsg]

Added standalone settings exe now.

Where?

[koshi]

In my head only apparently, but now also here: http://www.springlobby.info/temp/builds ... fix_02.zip

I use accented letters as some hotkeys (like á, í etc.). These have to be in hex form in uikeys.txt, but the hotkey editor change them back to á, í etc. Now i have to always rewrite after using springsettings.
