=============================================================================
The purposes of this mod are:

HIGHLIGHTING: Turns the tab key into a toggle for highlighting usable objects in game all the time. Many people have to hold the button down while running around, and this is a pain.

AUTORUN: Considering how much running around there is, it continues to amaze me that Mass Effect and Dragon Age do not have an autorun functionality. Well, now it does. If you set Numpad0 to the secondary MOVE FORWARD key, you can then use it as an autorun. Hitting Numpad0, W, or S, will toggle autorun off. If you would prefer a different autorun key, simply edit the file and change Numpad0 to the key you would prefer.

=============================================================================

HOW TO USE:

1) There are three .exes to choose from. Only run one at a time.

autorun_tab_toggle.exe - Autorun and Tab Highlighting toggles.
autorun_toggle.exe - Autorun toggle only.
tab_toggle.exe- Tab Highlighting toggle only.

2) You can run the .exe before you load Dragon Age, during, whenever. These are autohotkey scripts that should only have effect while the Dragon Age 1/2 game window is active.

3) To shut it down, right click the [H] icon in your taskbar and exit.

4) PROFIT!

WHAT IS THE AHK SUBDIRECTORY?

I included the raw .ahk files in case someone wants to make changes to the autohotkey scripts. If you do this, you will need to download and install the AutoHotKey program (http://www.autohotkey.com/). There is a great community of support for the program.

FINAL NOTES:

I was inspired to write this mod by Fisknils's "Highlight Toggle using AutoHotKey" mod. After using his mod, I went to AutoHotKey's site and learned a bit more about their scripting language to simplify the tab toggle, and to create the autorun toggle. Thanks Fisknils!
