I'm sure that the developers will add in key binding in a later patch, but until then, I've created an AutoHotKey script which searches the screen for icons and binds keys to those icons.
A few things to note:
Installation
For some reason, this game requires me to reload the script after Warlock is running. Just go to the task bar, look for the green A icon and right click and click "reload".
Keys (only in game):
Sorry in advance WASD guys, I'm a ESDF so you have to deal with it for once
Ctrl+Shift+F: Full Screen Adjust - offsets the window so the game takes up most of the screen. - NOTE - you MUST wait until after the movies to do this. I don't know why but the game will sometimes resize by a couple of pixels if you try to move the window before the main screen. If the screen is resized, the search icons won't work, ergo the script won't work.
Ctrl+Shift+Page Up: Enables the script
Ctrl+Shift+Page Down: Disables the script (useful when typing a save game name)
r: Rest
h: Rest (duplicate for people that think of it has heal)
b: Build City
Shift+d: Defend
Shift+S: Sentry
g: Sentry (alternative. I kept thinking "Guard in my head "
E: Map Up
D: Map Down
S: Map Left
F: Map Right
Mouse Button 4:: (only if you have a mouse with 4 or more buttons.) Move and skip animation.
Q: First item in notification Queue
W: Second item in notification Queue (useful if you get the bug where the bottom one is building attack that can't attack).
Ctrl+E: End Turn
Z: Upgrade Unit
Space Bar: Skip unit animation (Such as when a unit is moving a long distance and you don't want to watch it)
Again, the search images I've included in the /Warlock directory only match the 1080 resolution. For other resolutions, just take screen caps and make images similar to the archive provided and replace them. Just make sure you are only capturing the part of the icon that doesn't change (EG, no background map in the picture) and only the clickable area as the script tries to click the upper left of the matching image on the screen).
The script doesn't do anything but change your keys for the Warlock game when it is running. It is a pretty standard AutoHotKey script and does not require admin privilidges. None the less, as a CYA for these litigious times, I have to say the following:
I'm not responsible for any damage, loss of data or the death of your family pet. No warranty is given or implied.
If you find it useful, would love to hear from you.
A few things to note:
- For Vista/Win7, this will ONLY work if running the game in windowed mode and Aero is disabled. (set your windows "theme" to Basic). This is a DirectX screen capture thing.
- This version only has icons for the 1920x1080 windowed resolution (the script searches the screen for the icons to click). If there are requests, I'll create the icons for other resolutions.
Installation
- If you are not running AutoHotKey, download and install the "L" version of autohotkey at http://l.autohotkey.net/AutoHotkey_L_Install.exe I've only tested with the L version but should work with the older version if you prefer.
- Download my Warlock autohotkey .zip file at https://skydrive.live.com/redir.asp...60AA55156B8A4D04!112&authkey=!AFZgoamG4smgB5w
- Decompress the .zip file to a folder
- Double click the Warlock.ahk file to run the script.
