any zboard fang mods out there?

January 8, 2007 11:48:59 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
just picked up one of these controllers for wow, and i want to start binding gcii buttons to its keys. without keybinding functions in gcii, though, i'm going to have to assign mouseclicks to the keypad.

so far i can't figure out how to do this with the fang software or windows xp, so i'm going to have to use a third party macro program.

trouble is, i have a sneaking suspicion that the macro program would get me flagged and banned as a botter in wow.

any input?

note: ideazon uses the word 'mod' also, so this would be a mod, or profile, for the fang, not a mod for gcii per se.

i posted some of this in a different forum, that's why it might sound a little wierd:

once your empire hits a certain point, with a mature economy and morale resources, you want to go through and have all your colonies which are at or near their population cap to build a farm. so you have to go through this procedure for each planet:

select tile (random location, center of screen)
queue farm construction (random loc, right side)
select farm (random loc, center)
purchase farm (fixed loc, bottom)
yes i'm sure (fixed loc, center)
next planet (fixed loc, upper right)

it's really no problem if you've only got 10-15 colonies, but in a 'gigantic' size galaxy, you can have up to 250 or so planets, and like i said... there are NO KEYBINDINGS in the game, those are all mouseclicks. on a 1650x1080 screen (stretched to 1920x1200 it looks really good, actually) you're doing laps with your mouse and it gets kind of annoying.

i'd like to take that above sequence and turn it into:

select tile (random location, center of screen)
select farm construction (random loc, right side)
[purchase farm > yes i'm sure > next planet] ***woohoooo macro***

i'd also like to make two for launching transports, one for max capacity, and another for min that would include the slider-drag, or multiple "-100" clicks.

like i said there's no keybindings in gcii, and no way that i can see to get mouseclicks into the fang using the included fang software (game companies' request, i suspect...) which means i'd have to use a third-party (fifth-party at this point?) program to take the fang keypress and translate it into mouse movements gcii would understand.

it's the fifth-party program here i'm afraid that wow would not like... i'd never use it for wow, but i'm still scared of TEH BANSTIKC.

NOTE: i'm not here for info how this would all relate to wow.... i started out posting there and a rather lengthy post was devoured by a flipping log-in bug. i've cross posted this on the fang site, a wow enthusiast site, and now here. next stop is to try the official wow macros and ui forum.... right after i go to the hospital to visit my new niece!!!
