This would be very helpful too, though I doubt it's possible. The modder would have to be able to add the fifth spell slot into the spells menu of the game (T on keyboard by default). I don't see that as being something that can be done. Then again, look at all of the stuff modders can do in Skyrim and Fallout 4... So, maybe it would be. It'd be very, very useful if it could be done.
Yeah, maybe someday we'll see that. It would be a very welcome addition to the hardcore mods that are to come. So far I've only seen simple mods to tweak difficulty.
So far, I really like this mod. A suggestion that I have is to note in the description that the mod requires V1 of AHK. I've never used the program before, but installed V2 as I wasn't sure which I needed. Luckily, once I tried to launch your script after starting the game, AHK prompted me to allow it to download the correct version for the script that I was trying to run.
Now that that's out of the way, here is what I did to get this working for myself, in case anyone is looking for inspiration. This is largely influenced by a comment below mine by user "aeshinz."
Spell Set 1: F1 (this is required for the mod to function) Spell Set 2: 9 (bound to the first bottom thumb button on my Logitech G600 MMO mouse) Spell Set 3: 8 (bound to the second bottom thumb button on my Logitech G600 MMO mouse) Spell Set 4: 7 (bound to the third bottom thumb button on my Logitech G600 MMO mouse) Protego: E Sprint: Shift Dodge: CTRL (bound to the G-Shift button on my Logitech G600 MMO mouse) Q: Unbound L-ALT: Unbound Activate Ancient Magic: Scroll up (I don't like it on X) Ancient Magic Throw: Scroll down (I don't like it on Z) Next Spell Set: Unbound Previous Spell Set: Unbound
This works well for me. Perhaps someone else will like this idea as well. Again, credit for this largely goes to user "aeshinz" for commenting below this with their setup of 9, 8 and 7 instead of Shift, CTRL and ALT.
Hello. I tried to change the key binding in the file but no success. In case, i tried changing the "LCtrl" key to the "Tab" key, so i'm not sure how does this works exactly. Would you mind explaining how to do this? Thanks!
whenever i try to run it i get "Error at line 1. Line Text: #IfWinActive ahk_exe HogwartsLegacy.exe Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. The program will exit. "
My dodge was already bound to a side mouse button, same with protego which are both next to each other. Now dont have to think about hitting spells 1-4 then Q or ctrl which is awkward imo. sprint I simply left to shift, cuz after 20+ years of gaming, im just too used to have sprint as shift. I had never heard of AHK before today, so for ppl like me, would've been nice to have a very short step by step on what to do with it (Yes im aware there's the requirement section and link to it..). Anyways from there i switched the script to 9,8,7 and remapped some extra mouse buttons to 9,8,7 which leaves my left hand for spells and movement only while right hand takes care of cam movement, ancient magic (mouse wheel), dodge, protego and switching spell sets on my mouse
To be fair, his shift / ctrl / alt is a good idea for ppl who don't have mice with extra buttons but to whoever has a mice with extra buttons and can remap them then edit the script to those, i'd strongly suggest doing so. That way you don't have to take ur fingers off of wasd trying to reach 2 places on keyboard
You may follow this mod's (Improved Spellcasting with AHK) instructions: "To install and use the scripts, first you must install AutoHotKey by downloading the linked file (or under the "Required Mods" tab of this mod's page), and following the on-screen installation dialogue prompts. From there, you'll notice the .ahk files for this mod now have an icon other than the default white unknown filetype icon - you can simply double-click them to launch them and they should work".

They only went up to 4 because of the amount of action buttons on a joystick, but here on PC MASTER RACE we can easily reach number 5 key.

Could it be possible to have similar stuff for controller ?
Thanks a lot :3
