Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

This is a program to remap the cursor keys for FFR. It pre-dates the addition of in-game remapping. but improves on it by supporting all possible keys as well as dance-pads, guitar controllers etc. It also adds very convenient boo-out and try-again keys. It is designed to have the minimum of timing delay:

Make sure the in-game remapper is set to the cursor keys

The program defaults to remapping FFR R1, and can remap the cursors for other windows or programs too. Unfortunately, R2 and Resonance use low level keyboard access and it doesn't work with them.

Minimum Specification

Works in Windows XP and Windows Vista (may need to use "Run as Administrator" in Vista).
I'm afraid I'm not a Mac or Linux programmer, sorry guys...

NOTE:
To get the absolute minimum of timing delay, the program injects a message hook directly into the target window. This is flagged up as a potential attack by many firewalls and spyware programs - because accessing another window's messages could indicate unauthorised activity. In fact, the program is harmless and simply needs access to the keyboard messages to do its job. However, to be open, I've put the entire project and source code on the above site, so it can be checked and compiled by those who know how.

I maybe would have added a key to be able to boo out quickly and such, but other than that very nice work. It even lags the game less than AHK does.

Good idea. Just a moment......

There - uploaded a new version (1.01) - now has a 'Boo Out' key.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Works really well! :D

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

now make it for mac! =|

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

when i go to open it, it says there's an application error.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Good job all I can say, definetly easier to setup then AHK, lags less also and the boo out is a nice addon, but as gnr said, make it for mac ;)

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Gnr61, tepsu: I don't have a Mac, and I don't know about programming them either, sorry...

blindreper1179: Do you get this error when you run the installer (FFR-Keymap 1.01 Setup.exe), or the program (FFR-Keymap)?

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

i click it, it says install. i install it. i leave the box checked at the end to run it, and then it says application error.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

blindreper1179: I've been able to reproduce the error on one of my machines. I will come back with a fix shortly...

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

I've fixed the "Application Error" bug reported by blindreper1179. Too busy to update the version number - so redownload version 1.01

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Nice work! AHK was laggy like hell on my computer, and this works wonder. Congrats on making such a simple, but complete program.

6/5 for this!

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

nice, ill try it

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

alright, i'll redownload and try again.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Rofl at Boo Out.

101 Boos.

Lookie what I did.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

I don't know if it would be doable, but a "Try this song again" keymap would be great. Or you could only stay your mouse over the button and click on some key to try again.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Not a good idea because then the score will not register.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

redownloaded and it works ausomely.
thanks for this. i've been waiting for the ingame mapping, but oh well now.
thanks again.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

What language was this written in? It's very nice.

Re: Simple Alternative for Key Remapping
 

Pretty intresting, I'll try it and check it out.
