Game controller

Use your game controllers rather than the keyboard and mouse in World of Warcraft. A must for any die-hard fans that are developing carpal tunnel. ;) I have developed a WoW game-controller script written in a free scripting language called AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com). AutoHotKey is scripting language specifically designed for using game controllers to control the keyboard and mouse.
Download the script and AutoHotKey at http://www.mirc-dll.com/wow/.
== Script's Header Info ==
Here is a copy of the script's header information...
Wow Joystick Control -- Written By: Naquada @ http://mirc-dll.com/wow/
Version 7 - Probably Final Version
Based on: "Using a Joystick as a Mouse", an example script from http://www.autohotkey.com
This script is designed to work with World of Warcraft. It requires a controller
that has at least 10 Buttons, 2 Analog controls, and a up-down-left-right control.
I personally use the Game-Electronics Wireless controller placed in Analog mode.
Operating Instructions - Just double-click on this file after installing AutoHotKey
The right side analog controls the mouse, the left side analog and the up-down-left-right
both control movement. Note: When moving diagonally you strafe, unless using the analog
control in which case you only strave for about 45 degrees from top or bottom.
Thanks to the example script, dropping and dragging is fully supported with the mouse
control.
Button 1 -- Map (Sends the M keystroke once when pressed)
Button 2 -- Sit (sends the X keystroke once when pressed)
Button 3 -- Weapon Ready (Sends the Z keystroke once when pressed)
Button 4 -- Jump (Press and hold the Spacebar for as long as Button 4 is pressed)
Button 5 -- Mouse Wheel Down Once [ DEFAULT ], or Stationary Strafe Left
Button 6 -- Mouse Wheel Up Once [ DEFAULT ], or Stationary Strafe Right
Button 7 -- Right Mouse click
Button 8 -- Left Mouse Click
Button 9 -- Select Button - Sends "pcb{F11}{F10}"
Button 10 - Start - Sends the escape key
Hold down select and press button 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 and that Action Button is sent
Hold down select and press the start button and a {Tab} is sent
You can personalize various settings at the top of the script.
== Notes ==
* Neither AutoHotKey or the script above are specifically World of Warcraft AddOns.
* AutoHotKey appears be a Windows-only program.
* Script was last updated on March 1, 2007. Significant improvements have been added since this article was originally written.
