Yesterday I got WASD work with WarPlan with this script after I made sure VirusScanner does not mark it as false positive:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe WarPlan.exe
w::Up
s::Down
a::Left
d::Right
#IfWinActive

I played north africa campaign through after that. And today excited I bought WarPlan pacific. But for some reason there is no way I can get the AutoHotkey to work. I tried all possible combinations. I even tried this one, which works even in notepad but not WarPlan Pacific:

w::Up
s::Down
a::Left
d::Right

Did warplan pacific somehow drop support for AutoHotkey? Has anyone managed to get it working? WASD are the only keys I need for wargames, I dont need any other. WASD is very important for my wrists. They start to hurt if I dont have them. I like wargames but Im not masochist.

My last hope was to try my microsoft numeric keypad which stopped working due to broken battery acid few years ago. I never managed to get it working and where I live they dont sell these anymore:

But now that I tried, it worked instantly. Wow Im saved wow! Still I would like AutoHotkey to work. I would use 5 instead of 2 to make it perfect. Would be nice if the developers would actually test their games with AutoHotkey to make sure it works (if they dont support WASD). So far WarPlan Pacific is the only game for me that doesnt seem to work.

Yup I tried writing some scripts to take screenshots. Doesn�t work even in administrator mode. Perhaps Alvaro can shed light on permissions for the game.

Could it be an active window issue perhaps? Tried toggling between windowed and fullscreen?

Doesn't work either. Any line after changing window to WP stops the scripts right after.
