Guild Wars 2

Update:
-added an option to pause the script well ingame/out of game by pressing the F1 key
- added an option to close the script well ingame/out of game by pressing the F2 key

I have been seeing/reading a lot of requests for there to be an option to bind the mouse wheel to a hot key, and until this is added in I found very easy work around to do this for people that don’t have binding options built into there mouse, I use a very simple program to do this, it’s called AutoHotkey, this is in now way a macro or “playing the game for you” and I have been using this since I have started paying guild wars 2 back in the beta tests, all it does is change your mouse wheel up to act as if you where pressing the 6 key on the keyboard and mouse wheel down as if you where pressing the 7 key, the same goes for adding in a modifier so shift+6/7 will work as well.

So let’s get started, first off you have to download and instal AutoHotkey which you can get from here http://www.autohotkey.com/

After that is done just download the attached .txt file I have included in this post and rename it with .ahk rather then .txt and double click.

Once you have download the .txt file open it with AutoHotkey and it will start running the script, you can of course edit the 6 and 7 keys to be what ever you want, if you already have binds for those.

Open guild wars 2 and change your hot keys to what ever you want, I recommend changing your zoom in and out hot keys as well to something like alt+6/7 so you can still zoom with the mouse wheel as well.

Hope this was some help.

At first I was like “you can already do that” but then I re-read and better understood what you were referring to. Well done. I won’t use this personally because I like the zoom on the wheel way too much but for those that don’t, this would be perfect for them.

If anyone is concerned with this program…don’t be. I’ve been using it since it first came out like a decade ago and use it with the utmost of confidence. It’s easy to use, low profile and efficient.

I have to agree with BioFringe on this one. I love my scrolls far too much, however maybe someone could tweak the script to run other functions of the mouse.

I can also vouch for AutoHotkey, I used it in GW1 to drink a bottle of alcohol every minute for the 10,000 minutes that were required for that title. It was much better than having a one minute sound clip on constant loop while I was playing.

Autohotkey saved me from getting carpal tunnel syndrome when I played Warhammer Online, I used it to twist auras on my Knight of the Blazing Sun!

You can still keep the zoom on the mouse wheel by binding the zoom keys (that are found in game for key binds) to alt+6/7 which in this case would be the mouse wheel as well, so pressing alt+mouse wheel up would result ikittenoom, I mean how often do you need to zoom in an and out.

The first thing comes in mind is the ranger pet, scroll wheel forward for pet attack, scoll back for pet retreat, seems very nice though.

*updated some features

Ehmm i do zoom in and out quite a lot, althoguh not of the gameworld, but on the map, both the mini-map and the big world map.

And yeah i dont use this, though sound a lot like what my G500 mouse drivers can do by itself, not using the scroll thiough as i love it too much on the map as i said, but do have my dodge bound to tipping my mousewheel to the right(which my drivers thinks im actually pressing the V key), makes for a fast reaction possibilty there much better than any key on the keyboard can give me

Yeah I can get that, a lot of people like there zooms, ahah

I don’t think I would ever bind my dodge to any of the mouse keys, I use mouse wheel up as my auto attack skill, shift mouse wheel up as my cloak & dagger and mouse wheel down as my heal.

my dodge is shift+space bar, a lot of people think I am weird for this, but it just works so well I find.
