Hello there Blizz. Thank you for your work on Warcraft 3 Reforged and your attempt to improve the game.
Beein playing around with 2.0 and testing the new hotkey menu, also at least one full match per race. Unfortunately this new function is flawed.
Bugs (gone functions basically)
General:
- All shop-items missing: (healing salve, scroll of speed etc.) I can not set shop items in the menu. Also the auto-generated file seems to be missing any entries for shop-items after saving (i.e. from each race, neutral shops, market place). Unfortunately that means even when you use an old customkeys.txt that had those keys it doesn’t save them when the file is newly-generated by saving any option ingame!
Orc
- Shaman: Purge missing, will delete entry from old customkeys.txt (mine was Q before, ingame it’s G now). Actually I had noticed this in a match when I couldn’t purge and missed the kill, haha. After that I checked each race and entry.
Human
- Barracks: Sundering Blades missing, will delete entry from old customkeys.txt
Not tested: Neutral heroes or units.
Feedback
- Your positions in the newly generated file are missing, too, i.e.
Buttonpos=0,0. (But it worked before saving anything.) It would be nice if it didn’t delete these entries from the old custom made files after saving. For example it’s very handy for qwer setups that you can find online, and having the spells positioned in that order (like when you want to put a spell that is set to Q on first position, because it’s not there by default, etc). The hotkeys themselves were not arbitrarily chosen. This was a very common practice in some setups you can find online. IMO: It was a very cool feature by Warcraft 3 Classic when revamping the default setup by more than a bit, This even worked in Reforged until now before 2.0…
Would it be possible, when including new features, you don’t break the old - great - ones.
Thanks for reading my feedback.
Please keep it up!
PS:
Hints for testing, if you want to test it in single player, make sure to not use the save / load function, but start a new game (better yet restart wc3) to fully test your new setup. I.e. for the shop it seemed to use the hotkeys you had when saving, but for the shaman’s purge and other stuff’s button positions it changed no matter what.
