[FunkyFr3sh]

Download: *link-dead*

Tutorial:
Open hotkeys.asm inside of the src folder and change your keys... here are my custom settings as example:

SelectAllUnits dd E_Key
Scatter dd X_Key
CenterNextUnit dd N_Key
Repair dd T_Key
Sell dd Y_Key
Guard dd G_Key
CenterBase dd H_Key
Stop dd S_Key
Bookmark1 dd W_Key
Bookmark2 dd R_Key
Bookmark3 dd Spacebar_Key
Bookmark4 dd V_Key
SidebarUp dd D_Key
SidebarDown dd F_Key
Alliance dd A_Key
Retreat dd U_Key

...
save the file, now go to the main folder and start "build.cmd" ... a new File named Dune2000.exe will be created

copy Dune2000.exe into your game folder, enjoy!

shame theres no deploy hotkey :(

[FunkyFr3sh]

adding new hotkeys is possible too :)

Hey, this tool looks kinda like my d2kx program: http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/26507-release-d2kx/

 

But you somehow got it working by just writing the name of the function or? If that is the case, all functions can be called, that would be nice.

[FunkyFr3sh]

i chose the names in there :) its a patching framework, you can create .asm files with your patches and build a new dune2000.dat (i renamed it to .exe) with just a click. It makes it easier to change parts of the patches since it is always building a new dune2000 dat out of a clean one (you dont need to revert anything)

i seen your tool before, but i didnt try it out yet :) i thought it was modifying the memory of the game while its running hehe

is it possible to create hotkeys for bulding units? probably the largest downside to building units is having to click on them. (If this is already possible, please tell me :p)

[FunkyFr3sh]

anything is possible :D

but i think that would be a really bad idea, it just kills the spirit of the game :/

What this program can do? Calling functions of game?

[Nuclear_harvester]

automated production of units would be awesome

[Gruntlord6]

automated production of units would be awesome

not automated, just being able to hit F5 to train light infantry for example would help make things a lot more modern (where as modern games go as far as allowing unit queuing)

[FunkyFr3sh]

What this program can do? Calling functions of game?

Adding new code to the game or replacing existing code

automated production of units would be awesome

We should'nt go that far. I think there is a reason why we all love these old games!

If you ever played some competitive dune 2000 online games you will notice that the production is a very important skill in this old game, if you take that part away it wouldn't be the same game anymore

made key for win  :D its better than automated production of units  :D  click once and you win it will be best hot key

Hey guys, tried this in multiplayer, but it goes OOS (tested 2 games), then deleted dune2k.com and played with same player again, no OOS. Btw the hotkeys are contagious, played with the D & F for 10 minutes and then I couldn't properly play anymore when I put them back :D

It wouldn't be automated though, would just be easier for the player to select without using the mouse.

copy Dune2000.exe into your game folder, enjoy!

Unfortunately, it does not work. Dark screen, nothing more. Then return to Windows. (Win XP SP3)

I use Dune 2000 Gruntmod Edition. Must it be vanilla game?

 

Folder with yor program can be anywhere? I mean, when I start "build.cmd". 

May be , I must  to copy Dune2000.dat from your folder to the game folder too?

 

And... your Dune2000. exe much more (bigger, I mean) than standart dune2000.exe file. 1 065 472 bytes and 91 136 bytes.

Alliance dd A_Key

Excuse me, what do Key Alliance do? Would you explain me, if you please?

[Nuclear_harvester]

to make Allies   with other player ,  select  player unit and hit a again to declare war xd.

Is this for Multiplayer game only?

This is impossible "to make Allies" and "to declare war" in Missions, how I can understand?

Bookmark1 dd W_Key

Bookmark2 dd R_Key

Bookmark3 dd Spacebar_Key

Bookmark4 dd V_Key

And what are these Bookmarks?

It wouldn't be automated though, would just be easier for the player to select without using the mouse.

this file wont have a high res patch, so it might not be compatible with your current dune installation :/

you can take the dune2000.dat from the patch folder, put it into your game folder and add the highres patch and everything else, then copy it back to the patch folder and add the hotkeys :)

the file is bigger after the patch, thats normal :)

And what are these Bookmarks?

you can save positions on the screen with them, press CTRL+F9 to save the position and then F9 to load it

Im not sure if you can ally with AI players, probably not (not yet)

and btw, i tested it with shao again, it works all fine online without OOS

[Gruntlord6]

Guess I'll be waiting on OpenD2K ;)

Eureka!  :)

It works!

 

I suppose, reason of the fault is really High Resolution Patch. Because the patch changes file dune2000.dat.

 

I copy the file dune2000.dat (where 1280 x 720 resolution installed) from the game folder to your, FunkyFr3sh, program folder Dune2000_106p. Run build.cmd. And copy dune2000.dat and dune2000.exe to the game folder.

That is prolly the only way to get such game-play changes :)

that might cause problems, you have to use the dune2000.dat i added in the .zip and add the highres patch to that one, and then copy this file back to the folder and add the hotkeys (the file i included is a speical one, not original)

But if you just play single player then it might just work doing it the way you did :D

The Gruntmods Edition shouldn't be used for online anyway, Dune 2000 Online is better suited for that task.
