I'm in love with this addon, thanks a lot for developing it!
I've also found a bug, where when you open the Social window with "o", then hit the the Guild tab, and close the window afterwards, the cursor will not lock and becomes free like without the addon instead.
I will have to look at how they are handling the social windows now the next time I get a chance. I have no active subscription.
i am so lost with this. Would be great to have a video, showing me a step by step how to set this thing up.
edit: I just saw some guy kindly made a twitch vid, but the link doest work any more?! :(
Any help would be great; until then I am not comfortable setting up the add-on myself :(
thanks
The video would consist of me telling you the same steps that are in the addon description: Install the addon like normal, install AHK, run AHK file in addon folder.
Hey Xuerian! Thanks for your reply sorry im late. Here is what i mean, http://imgur.com/a/KuJFE, the mouse still seems to be in the center of the screen, also manual targeting does not seem to be working for me all of a sudden?
I can't move the mouseover position. The reticle automatically targets stuff you might need to target based on the distance from the middle of the reticle to the middle of each unit on the screen, unless you turn it off in Lockdown. It's mostly a workaround.
The reticle does not seem to work correctly when you move it it seems to stay at the same position around the center of the character even after reloading script, ui and such.
I'll need more details.
And additionally, I had other stuff here, but realized how my addon works (it's been a while, alright) - you don't need to reload anything to reposition the reticle.
The mouseover location - where you get tooltips and such - doesn't change. It used to, but I can't change it any more, Carbine "Fixed" the bug that let me do it and has not added an API call to replace it. Now Lockdown does all the targeting itself on the crosshair location, so it should target correctly at least.
I tried it again through Curse, and it seems to be working now, just had to reload out-of-date addons. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for all your help! I can play the game again! If you ever find yourself in south Florida, I owe ya a beer.
Glad that it works for you, I'll push an update at some point that will update its listed API version so it doesn't show as out of date.
I figured it was fairly easy to see two 1.2.... lists and just focus on the second one.
And, glad it helps you out. I made it for the same reason, I can't really enjoy the game much without that control scheme.
As far as the beer, well, I appreciate it but I don't drink! However, since the recent skyrim mod debacle I've realized some people don't notice there is a paypal donation button on the mod's page - if you're really feeling generous.
Here's another attempt where I load up Wildstar to check the addons, to no avail. Let me know if you see anything new here. I check the file locations, too.
I really do appreciate you spending this time to help.
Alright, so I can't tell if you've actually installed the addon correctly or not. You are, again, running MouselockRebind from the zip unpacked in some random location.
Lockdown is actually a normal, legitimate, Wildstar addon. You must install it just like any other addon. MouselockRebind does not work without it. Please install it via the curse client or manually and then try again.
Installation
Install via curse client or by hand (See below for manual installation and Curse Client issues)
You don't need to reinstall AHK again, that's fine.
I think a video would be a great idea, if you ever had the time for it.
What you're saying about AHK makes a lot more sense, put that way.
I remember the GUI interface when I've used it in the past, and I know there is a menu to fiddle with the settings, but it doesn't seem to appear at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if memory serves when I used it in the past, it would show up on my addon list in-game, right? I can record again when I get home today, maybe try a system restore back a couple days (just to pursue every avenue and a clean slate), and show you what happens when I open the game if you think we might find something else.
Also don't do a system restore, that's a horrible idea.
Check your addon screen in-game and see if and why Lockdown is not loading. If it isn't on that list at all, it wasn't installed according to the guide. (Which I am moderately suspicious of due to your video)

Yes... Because Lockdown is an actual addon. If that's not working nothing will work.
I don't have a active wildstar account so I can't really do much, to be honest.
I went a step further and made a vid of me going through each step of the process. I'm open to any suggestions. Covering all the bases, I've also tried the other install settings (i.e. 32bit) just in case, and nothing.
A video pretty much covers it, I'm moderately impressed that you did a few takes of it. It does point out some things I could focus on if I ever do a how-to video for Lockdown though, thanks.
According to your video the script ("MouselockRebind") starts up fine. It doesn't do anything on its own, and running in the tray there is what it does.
Additionally, AHK (the exe you install) is just a scripting host, so when you say "Run autohotkey" it correctly opens the default help page. MouselockRebind is a script written in AHKScript, which is run with AHK by starting it as you did. It is the same as installing python to run a .py script.
Once you've installed the Lockdown interface addon via the curse client or by hand, the in-game GUI lets you configure any available options for the script. MouselockRebind can be used to a lesser degree with any mouselock addon (Steer, etc), but will be slightly less reliable and you would have to edit the script to configure it.
Yup. Tried everything on the add on page. Still running into the same problem. Just takes me straight to the AutoHotkey help page telling me it's not finding something. I've double checked everything in the troubleshooting and installation. Any suggestions? This awesome mod made wildstar worth playing for me on my older PC and it feels like something is missing without
Well, since I've never had that problem I have no ready suggestion about what's going on, so you'll have to give me the exact errors you get. Screenshots should work, but don't leave anything out.
I can't get this to work at all. I've gotten to work on my past two computers, but on this new one I can't get it going. I have tried both installing on Curse and manually, and I've installed the most recent version of AutoHotkey. Any time I try to use it, it just opens up the help page telling me something is wrong. I have been working on this for over an hour and I'm about to smash my computer to a thousand pieces in frustration. Do you by any chance know how to fix this?
Well, there is a reasonably long troubleshooting section in the addon description you might want to try that includes more than just installing it manually and using the most recent AHK.
Thanks again for all the work you do on Lockdown, for me it's absolutely essential to playing Wildstar. I'm happy to send you a month's sub to show my gratitude. Is the "Donate" link on the Curse page (http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220693-lockdown) the best place to do this?
If there is a better way, send me a pm, and I'll do that.
You make Wildstar a better game!
As above, glad it can help, and I feel the same way.
Yes, the donate link works fine, and I always appreciate donations.
Hopefully Wildstar lives long enough for Carbine to help out mouselock addons and make them a more natural part of the game =)

Glad you are enjoying it otherwise.

I missed this part of your post.
Please follow the "Installation" section in the description, which has steps 1 and 2 and then the following 1, 2, and 3.
If you have any problems please let me know. I guess I should get around to making a video with the F2P transition, but that won't be right now.

Does the addon itself work?

Theoretically, yes.
Currently, no, as my own usage of Lockdown revolves around using both mouse buttons to use abilities.
The easiest way to do this would be to modify MouselockRebind or use your mouse's software to change what it does.
