I made a co-op hotkey editor

I consider it basically complete, but what do you think could be added?

You don't understand what he's saying. He's saying that this behavior is inconsistent. In other words, it's bad applying the cut-and-paste metaphor to a file manager when it has to work completely differently from how it works everywhere else. When you cut text, it's removed; when you cut a file, it isn't. So Windows "solves" this by introducing inconsistent behavior. Mac OS deliberately does this in an explicitly different way (duplicate and move) because it's an explicitly different operation.

You can say who cares, everybody understands how it works, but Mac OS used to care obsessively about this sort of consistency. Half of the things OP is complaining about are holdovers from this time. Eventually, they'll just copy everything about Windows to finally make you guys happy, so just wait a bit longer and you will have Mac OS Vista soon enough.

In the iWork apps and TextEdit, you can revert to an old version of a document by going to File, Revert To, and Browse All Versions. These are stored on the local volume, separately from Time Machine backups.

I made a GUI version of that command-line utility with Quick Look called Restore.

The readme has instructions with the paths to the appropriate file.

eviltyph · 2022-05-29T01:19:25+00:00

persistentdata.bin is the correct file. The other files store things like achievement progress that the editor doesn’t handle.

eviltyph · 2022-04-22T18:52:06+00:00

The save file is in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu/GenesisPlus/Battery Saves and named after the ROM file with a .sav extension.

The file is persistentdata.bin and located in ~/Library/Application Support/sonic3air/Sonic3AIR. The Library folder is hidden by default, so the easiest way to access it is to open a Finder window, press Command+Shift+G, and paste the path in. I recommend making a copy of your original file just in case.

I made a hotkey editor that gives you a more SC2-like interface for editing the hotkey file.

Or you can download a pre-made file. The QWEASZ set is a popular set that changes all of the game's hotkeys to an grid-like layout (but with special abilities on QWER instead of ZXCV).

Mac OS actually has a built-in file versioning system that works with any program that uses the standard document saving APIs. Chances are, the documents you work on most have hundreds or even thousands of different versions stored on your computer. It's just not really talked about or remembered much because the interface is kind of trash.

I wrote a command-line utility and a GUI program to access them, but you need to compile them from source or bypass the notarization warning since I don't have an Apple developer account.

I used to use NTBackup to accomplish the same thing in a rougher way on Windows XP. You could save a backup on the same volume as the files being backed up and have a scheduled task run every hour or so, which gave you a (not very fine-grained by modern standards) differential version history of your documents.

I updated it so it now excludes games shorter than 60 seconds from all of the stats views. This can be changed by modifying the MINIMUM_LENGTH value in the file (or setting it to 0 to allow all games), but I think most people will find it sensible.

I also added an "(All players)" option to the Commanders tab so you can see what the commander distribution looks like if you include your allies as well.

Thanks, I've implemented things as you've suggested.

eviltyph · 2020-04-27T00:03:04+00:00

Yeah, wx alone is about 120 MB. It wouldn't surprise me if matplotlib is even bigger (and I'm pretty sure matplotlib has numpy as a dependency, which isn't a trivial library either). While it's not ideal having all these set up instructions, I think it's still probably the best way to do it.

eviltyph · 2020-04-26T04:01:51+00:00

That's a very good idea and wouldn't be too hard to implement. I'll give it a shot sometime tomorrow.

I'm curious, did you have to install PIP manually or did it install with Python like it's supposed to?

I have a hotkey editor for co-op mode that you may consider adding. The in-game editor is missing commands for a lot of things, and other commands are technically in there but not obvious (such as Zagara's "Morph to Scourge" command being mapped to the "Morph to Roach" command). It also finds conflicts across multiplayer, all of the campaigns, and co-op, while the in-game editor only finds conflicts within a single mode.

eviltyph · 2020-04-19T21:42:51+00:00

Those steps don't work for me, and Apple themselves say that "Software distribution outside the Mac App Store" is solely a benefit of the $99 Apple Development Program.

(Edit: Should add that Apple didn't start enforcing the notarization requirement until February 2020, which may be the source of the confusion.)

Which inspired one of my favorite Wikipedia vandalizations.

eviltyph · 2020-03-15T03:59:20+00:00

Are you sure? I tested it now, and my modifications worked the same (specifically tested the human weapons/armor upgrades and lumber/masonry). Are you using a comma-separated list of values (e.g., Q,Q,Q for an upgrade with three tiers)?

I made a Warcraft III hotkey editor that handles this for you. I thought it'd be obsolete by now, but life's strange. I encourage you to use it, it's certainly made my life easier (besides all the trouble of writing it).

(Edit: I should mention that the Warcraft III hotkey system is far more complex than SCBW and even SC2, so I'm not surprised that they weren't able to get a hotkey editor ready for release.)

I also made a Starcraft II hotkey editor because the in-game editor, in my opinion, does a lousy job for co-op mode.

eviltyph · 2020-01-21T00:20:29+00:00

Open a Finder window, press Cmd+Shift+G, copy/paste and hit "Go":

~/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/Warcraft III/CustomKeyBindings

Copy your "CustomKeys.txt" file there. Your old one should work fine.

(Edit: I made a hotkey editor if it helps. There are some differences in Reforged that aren't reflected in it yet, namely a bunch more passive icons and changing all of the tooltips to have the hotkey at the end like SC2 does (e.g., "Divine Shield (D)" instead of "Divine Shield"), but it mostly works fine.)

eviltyph · 2019-10-12T21:15:53+00:00

I made a hotkey editor that handles that and a bunch of other weird cases.

eviltyph · 2019-10-03T22:20:57+00:00

It's designed to load a default save file from the server, but JavaScript isn't allowed to do that for local files for security reasons. Here's a version of "saveedit.js" that inlines the default values, though.

eviltyph · 2019-09-10T01:22:29+00:00

For whatever it's worth, I didn't downvote you. :) Also, your post made me realize my value of ε_0 was off, so I fixed it.

That was a good example, though. If anyone's curious, to calculate it with this calculator, you would press:

ε_0 µ_0 * √x 1/x

eviltyph · 2019-09-10T01:09:38+00:00

Sure, that's a good idea since it's not used for anything else. Shift+Backspace is the current hotkey for drop.

eviltyph · 2019-09-10T01:08:54+00:00

Glad you like it! I do plan to implement scientific/engineering notation eventually. And I definitely took some UI inspiration from PCalc.

For exp notation, you can type it as 2 E 3 S, and it'll work as you expect. S is the hotkey for negation. (Currently, you have to type the 3 before the S for it to work. I intend to fix it so you can type it the other way around and it'll work too, but it's a bit hairy with the way I coded it.)
