DAoC AutoHotKey Tutorial for Melee Stealth Assassins

[@cameronfreed5167]

I wish this wasn’t a thing. I feel like q binding and familiarizing yourself with your weapon speed makes for more fluid combat, taking the robotic aspect out of it. Not much room for mistakes with a computer min maxing your play to an extent. Only thing I wish DAoC had stock was a more QoL poison swap or application, this would be useful for that. But the styles dumbed down really trivializes the complexity of some combat situations but if most people use it, and you don’t - you’re at a disadvantage. Great video though, keep doing your thing. Keep DAoC alive!

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

the macros work if you have your weapons already pulled, if they are not out and you try it tries to do leaper first instead of garotte

[@jimmyduffer9769]

Thanks for this. I did find that you have the order opposite from the cut and paste to the video order of Garrote and Evade in the text above you have them as shown ;Garrote and Evade styles 1:: send ^y^{f10}^{f9}^{f8}^{f7}^{f6} return in the video its shown as ;Garrote and Evade styles 1:: send ^y^{f6}^{f7}^{f8}^{f9}^{f10} return So some of the styles do not fire.

Hey man nice vid, I'm new to daoc and autohotkey. I Tried setting this up on my lowbie inf with thrust abilities and it seems to be only using the first two abilities(Puncture>Bloody Dance). The Sequence of abilities I'm using is Puncture > Blood Dance > Ratfang > Wolftooth > Sting.

[@Hazefest]

Welcome to DAOC. You cannot use more than two style chains on a single key. You have the anytime style before the conditional. Rearrange the bar that binds are on to do wolf tooth- rat fang- bloody dance then puncture that should solve your issue

[@iam_feral217]

Great video! Thanks for making this.

[@Hazefest]

Hey there buddy! You are welcome.

[@cwarsvideos]

why swap so many weapons when you can just put on new poisons while in combat?

[@rgl9588]

This is a super helpful Video and a great start for me trying to get into using AHK first time. Thanks for that. 2 questions though: 1) why can't you use stick before the 2 opener (you mentioned they'd get you killed?) 2) when you visualise your AHK by putting styles on the qbar (towards the end of the video) - isn't garotte on key 1 "contradicting" the AHK keypress 1? I.E. pressing "1" now triggers two things - the AHK chain and the "pure garotte alone" from the qbar ingame? When running AHK are the keys ingame "disabled"?

[@Hazefest]

1 - IF you use stick on Perf and Backstab and you are not in strike range of the enemy you will enter combat mode once the script presses the style qbinds. This will pop you out of stealth. use stick manually for this opener. You can use stick on the Backstand and perf followups though as you will already be out of stealth. 2 - While you are using AHK the DAOC keys that you use to activate your script overwrite the in game key presses. Pressing 1 with the script running will use the /qbinds after the "send," portion of the string. This means you can have all quickbars completely empty and still use everything in your AHK script. You would have to manually mouse over and click garrote on hotbar 1 slot in order to use that style. Pressing 1 on your keyboard fires off the "send," data string.

[@rgl9588]

1) ok clear, this answer seemed to obvious to me :D obviously you should only hit the key once you're in range, just as you'd play without AHK. So assuming that you know when to hit the key (like you'd play without AHK), I guess you can very well put stick in there (I right now use 2 manual qbinds for the same action) 2) ok, perfect thats what I was wondering about. I get the leaving the qbars empty logic, but wasn't sure what happens if you have them actually filled. But the explanation that AHK "disables" the ingame actions for those keys is what I was after. Thanks for your help, I'll give this tool a try based on your demo:)

[@MrJoshthenosh]

Hello Haze fest this is awesome i love it, very clever, i got most of it working apart from Garrote and evade styles, it just does garrote over n over again, should i just press 1 over n over ? not really sure first time using it, i just used all your qbinds n copied the script above

[@Hazefest]

Each press of the key should cycle to the next style if you are using a clone of my script. One press = one action. The multiple styles just change which is used when the conditions are met.

[@davidmullins141]

i know its a long shot that you even check this at all but i dont have num lock on my keyboard since it is shortened how do i change the toggle key??

[@Hazefest]

I can do that. See if you can find a list of the game /commands with regards to crafting and paste them I’ll see what I can do from there

[@jacobthegreat88]

@@Hazefest looked through all thr slash commands and could t find anything for crafting. Typically you just put the item you want to create over and over in a slot and click it, when it finishes you click it again. So something on a 20ish second timer that keeps clicking the same button would be perfect 👌

[@Hazefest]

It would be something like this q:: While GetKeyState("Q", "P"){ Send {F4} Sleep 50 Send {F5} Sleep 50 Send {F6} Sleep 50 Send {F7} Sleep 50 Send {F8} Sleep 50 Send {F3} Sleep 8000 } return I found this on a forum in AHK. I do not create loop scripts. according to the thread you can use this to hold down "Q" or "P" to loop the above information. Test it. I dunno it if will help you.

[@Fenris698]

So i'm on the first command (evade plus anytime chains), and it keeps queuing up my anytime first, regardless of what order I put the keys in in the actual script? anyone know what's going on?

[@Hazefest]

What server are you on? What keys did you qbind the skills to?

[@BigLiftsallDay]

Hey man, I am looking at your Skald Script that is in your google drive. There is a line in the script {Shift down}{f4}{Shift up}. What is Shift Up and Shift Down doing?

[@Hazefest]

It tells the AHK to hold down the key to ensure your Shift+X keys will fire properly. If the inputs are too fast it can miss key inputs. This increase AHK accuracy

[@kendran2430]

Does anyone else have the following problem and maybe a solution to it? My sidestylechain looks like this: Sidestyle Followup - Sidestyle - Anytimer (bound to "3") Quite often it happens, that after the first press of "3" I perform the sidestyle and it automatically takes the anytimer as followup. So if I press "3" again it says "you have already selected your style". Any Idea? :D

[@Hazefest]

The input in the script should have the follow ups before the conditional styles. This means to use: follow up>side style> anytime style. Using the side style follow up first will fail if you use it to begin combat. If you are already in combat it will work as you intend correctly. Just don’t use this chain as an opener as it will end up as an auto attack. Use it once you are already in combat swing timers.

So I set my my infiltrator just like you described without weps poison or switch (play on live server) but having a problem with the Garotte and Evade styles portion. Even if the toon evades, it will ONLY fire off the garrote and never do Hamstring or the follow up that. Additionally will never fire the follow up to pincer nor stunning stab which is the follow up to Creeping Death. just Garrote and ONLY Garrote. Have even re-done the script and all of the qbinds with nothing changing.

I have not made scripts yet for the new archery styles. So I have yet to play around with these. They should very much work the same way as before only your now spamming your ranged slot to draw and attack. It should behave as styles from what I could tell with Brotherland Server gameplay.

[@Antmf712]

So I have a question. I have 2 styles programmed to one button. I have A side snare opener and an anytime opener. I have the side snare to fire first then the anytime. So when I’m on the side of the training dummy it works I hit it with side snare but when I’m in front on the dummy and activate the macro it misses but when I press it again it works with the anytime. Can you explain why? I thought you were gonna have two opening styles on one key from my understanding so please help me out. Thank you.

[@Hazefest]

You must be on Eden. The styles with will in combat. If you are running up and not in combat and strike first it will fail because the server is quick enough to see the first keystroke entered by AHK. Use an anytime opener to start a fight. If the swing timer is in effect then the styles will work fine. It’s an Eden thing.

I'm trying to use the script on my Shadowblade, but I can't get the "garrote and evade styles" portion to work. Whenever I hit the button (I have to hold it down), it will only do garrote. I'll get the text that I'm preparing Achilles Heel as a backup for garrote, even though my script has Heel going off before garrote. Any tips?

[@Hazefest]

Swap the styles on the bar so that garrote goes last. That way you don’t have to change the script

[@G_Wheezy]

@@Hazefest I think I figured it out. I forgot that I bound my abilities without modifiers, so I had to delete the ^ modifier. What I'm noticing now is that sometimes the garrote string won't finish before I enter combat, so I'll heel before I get to the garrote style and fail.

[@Hazefest]

@G_Wheezy that will happen on Eden. The server reads the input faster than many previous servers. I get around that by putting just openers on one key then switch to a longer style string once the swing timers are in place and can take advantage of the slower inputs. Combat begins faster so this issue only affects the first out of combat attack.

[@G_Wheezy]

@@Hazefest thanks for the heads up, I am in fact on Eden. They also have a recorder system that does a similar thing as these style strings and it seems to work.

For evade and parry put the Styles that hit more often or do more damage as the first two buttons and the other chain as second. Put the styles in the reverse orders with the follow up styles to the evade and parry going before the actual evade/parry ones.

Can you get ahold of me has some questions about ahk can’t seem to figure it out myself

[@_rkrd]

How can you queue up so many styles? This is not AHK related, but isn't the maximum 2 styles?

[@Hazefest]

Yes two styles are the maximum. You select a style with a backup. However, When you try to use a style that requires a previous style to be used the game states "The X style needs to be used before this one." This does no take up one of your two style slots. So the tool allows you to put a chain of Style A and a chain of style B onto the same button press. For example. Garrote and Hamstring. To use all five styles of the garrote and hamstring chains on a single key you must input the /qbinds you assigned in the reverse order so that game tries to use Rib separation>Leaper>hamstring>Achilles Heel>Garrote. This will always use the Hamstring styles followed up by the garrote styles. If you dont evade you garrote and if you garrote and press the key again you will Achilles heel. So the first two styles attempted to be used on the first keypress is Rib sep and Achilles heel. Since they both require previous styles it moves to leaper and then Hamstring with achilles heel. Since garrote goes before Ach heel it settles on Hamstring and garrote as the final selections. Repeated pressing of the key will walk up the style chains. Evades have priority so you are not only Garroting.

I don’t. Only played Albion. However you can change the qbind keys and the styles around to whatever you like. Garrote and hamstring combos should still work if you have enough Crit Strike. Basically you want an evade and anytime combo with follow ups on one key. Perf and backstab on one key. The follow ups to perf and backstab on a second key. Side and back styles and a way to poison and change weapons. I try to explain it in a way that will help you create your own if you needed to do so.

I have issues using these as openers. Basically when the anytime chain or PA, it executes so fast it doesnt even get a chance to queue up the follow up before it swings and fails. So I am always opening up to a standard melee swing with no style. Any thoughts?

[@Hazefest]

Are you using just perf artery and backstab on the same button? You cannot queue up perf/backstab with openers because you are in stealth. Using any opener besides perf or backstab will result in becoming unstealth and failing the attack. The only way around that was to use backstab and perf on the same key and ha e the follow ups on a second.

[@Hazefest]

Make sure you are using send, and not sendinput,. The send command has a slight delay built into the command to simulate a human keystroke. This may create the buffer DAoC needs to perform the attacks properly

You cannot use delays in your Autohotkey Scripts it's strictly forbidden according to the rules of the server.

[@Hazefest]

Correct. You cannot. The reason that this work is because the actual button strings when you press your key to use your styles/abilities does not have a delay in the execution of the macro string. Have a global delay of 0-80 milliseconds does not apply as the button presses are not using delays in the strings. The delay you see in SetKeyDelay 80,402 is an 80 ms is when you press a key to execute XYZ, the XYZ is still pressed at the same time. With a delay against the rules it would be X delay Y delay Z. That is against the rules. Pressing the 1 key and XYZ going off 80 ms later is not. The delay in this script helps with higher pings. You may also set this to SetKeyDelay 0 which will give you fastest XYZ response to pressing the 1 key.

@@Hazefest I get it, but it's still not allowed. You can look in the forums or ask the admins who have said it several times that using any kind of delay is forbidden. I tried to comment with a link but it doesn't let me. Search for "SetKeyDelay" in the forums and read responses by the admins.

[@Hazefest]

@Ricardo Matias Then just set it to zero or remove the line from the script. it doesn't make a difference either way it will still perform the same and you wont be able to tell a difference. Whatever makes you comfortable. Here is a link to the forum post referred to in this thread. forum.playphoenix.online/search?keywords=setkeydelay Conclusion: I will remove the delays in my scripts to prevent issues for others.

@@Hazefest let me say, thanks for the video. I mentioned it, because the penalty for being caught is quite serious. There's a bit of change due to no delay, the first hit will not work as intended most of the times. But on the successive swings it will work perfectly.

[@Hazefest]

I changed the scripts on all my videos and I will release another video regarding the changes. I looked deeper into AHK and there is a better option. The scripts on all my links are safe now. You are right reactive styles can miss if you open with them. If you open with Perf or Backstab first and move into Evade/anytime styles then it should land fine. Even if you fail the open you still auto attack for damage so it isn't a total loss. Thanks for all the feed back. It has help improve the scripts I make.

[@d33d0gg]

Good stuff

[@Hazefest]

Thank you for watching!

[@d33d0gg]

@@Hazefest ty for posting the vid, I have started messing around with this today and one thing I noticed is that you need to be a bit far away from the enemy when pressing 1 to do the garrote + evade chains because it will try to do hamstring (evade style) always and obviously if you dont evade it will fail. @ 5:18 in your video, you didn't miss, the style failed. I have some thoughts on tweaks and working on them now.

[@d33d0gg]

Also, the AHK script you posted in the description is different that what you did in the video, which has some issues with the order (not backwards etc).

[@Hazefest]

@@d33d0gg I may have been too far away to land the garrote as I pressed the 1 key. The way it works if you want to use Garrote and Hamstring chains is that you must input the /qbinds that you want to use in the reverse order. Doing such will allow you to spam the key to perform Hamstring with a backup of Garrote. So when you press the key it will try to use Rib Separation and Achilles Heel first. This will give you the message "You must use X style before this one." When this happens the logic will go to the next style. So it tries to use A and B in this order Rib Sep>>Leaper>>Hamstring>Ach Heel>Garrote. The first time you press it close enough to the enemy it will land Hamstring with a backup of Garrote. The second time you press it it will use Hamstring with a backup of Achilles Heel. If you evade it walks up the Hamstring and does Leaper with a Garrote backup.

[@Hazefest]

@@d33d0gg There may have been mistakes in the order of the either the skills on the bar or the logic in the script in the video different from the Posted Script. The videos are to walk through how it all works and how you can use it to make your own scripts. The final script posted in the description is the final version of what I used in the end of the video. I added Stick macros via /qbinds to demonstrate things you can do in AHK. Feel free to Copy and paste and then modify the data to fit your /qbinds and your playstyle as I feel that it will be more comforting know that you can adjust the script as needed to fit how you play.

[@Hazefest]

This is after you installed AHK and are using a AHK script with the green H icon in the system tray? (lower right next to time and date on desktop)

[@MichahEmmitt]

@@Hazefest I have installed yes. I can only manage to run on my task bar. How do I get it in the system tray?

[@Hazefest]

@@MichahEmmitt After installing the AHK application. You should be able to Right click on your desktop and go to new>AutoHotKey Script. Then just copy the text from whatever script you would like to run (As Administrator). Then if you have the /qbinds setup in DAoC in the AHK script you are running it should work.

[@MichahEmmitt]

@@Hazefest okay got all of that working thank you. However the after evade styles don't work? I'll hit hamstring on evade but Achilles heal will not run as a follow up

[@Hazefest]

@@MichahEmmitt make sure in the AHK logic that the Achilles Heel comes before Garrote. If you try to open with this style it will try to use Achilles heel on the open which will miss due to having to use the garrote style first. The AHK script be in this order from left to right. Rib separation, leaper, hamstring, Achilles heel, garrote. This will try to use hamstring followed by garrote after combat has began and swing timers are in play. If the swing timers have not started it will attempt to use the first style in the logic which should be rib separation. If you are just using Achilles heel and garrote it should be: Achilles heel, garrote. This will work properly after you begin swinging in combat. Typically you want to begin combat with a stealth opener.

[@kongchangfan2237]

Great tutorials.. although i think using AHK for Dark Age is disgusting and simply cheating.. but what ever.. 2021 here we go. Things are changing. Great guide, peace!

[@Hazefest]

Hello. They allow it as long as you do multiple button presses in a string. I keep my tutorials in line with the Phoenix Freeshard server rules.

[@kongchangfan2237]

@@Hazefest I am aware of that, yes. But tbh, it IS a gamechanging technology, that makes a lot of things much easier. No need to look at youre defense anymore, evade/parry styles etc. follow up. That is a big advantage. Not only that i think, it is screwing the balance and enabling low skill players beyond their understanding of the game to do things they just shouldnt be able to, but also, from my point of view it kinda takes away the fun about several things. Not much skill needed anymore. I mean having demezz and mezz on the same button is kinda acceptable for me, no huge impact, but looking at melee battles, especially assassins.. how many buttons in total do they even use with ahk installed - 5?! Just thinking of reapplying dots to 20 weapons via a switch and apply macro.. (i have no idea if this is really doable with ahk, but i can imagine..) So yea.. if i got a bit harsh here, might not be the place to discuss this actually. Phoenix staff just shouldnt allow it. But still i clearly look down to ppl playing this in pvp somehow.. sry mate. Peace

[@Hazefest]

I made these scripts for the older generation. I play with my 68 year old father as well as a few players over 50 and AHK allows the older people to keep up with the younger crowds these days. I get your point though. Thanks for the feedback =)

[@kongchangfan2237]

​@@Hazefest i'm getting your point there.. it's reasonable. problem is, the younger people are also using/abusing it. its a powerful weapon, and in the wrong hands it causes an imbalance of pvp. but anyways.. thanks for the objective talk here. take care

@@Hazefest Actually sort of why I was looking this up. Partial paralysis on my left side makes it difficult to play melee in general. Be nice to be able to be something other than a budget Warrior for once if I want to melee.

AHK is bad ... it takes the fun out of the game. Using it for crafting is ok, but not in fights ....

[@Hazefest]

Many people feel this way. You do not have to use it. However your feeling on AHK will not stop others from using it. I used to feel this way in Phoenix. I got tired of getting destroyed by stealthers. I started using AHK and just the QOL of farming in melee was worth the change. The older generation can also use it to even the playing field with reaction times if they have diminished.
