Solved Sting MH NextGame button

People use integrated MH on this realm. Not sure how many of us uses the Sting's one. Others might not notice. Not sure if the case connected to Sting's MH or the server cluster design bought it on the table.

The problem. There is a quick next game button in the config file ("Quick Next Game Key") that helps games of a run to number them continuously (for example "bh-1", then "bh-2" and so on). When I hit it, the actual game ends, and I can go to the create game screen with game name / pass already filled. It worked rock-solid in the previous ladder. Now, in many cases (not always) I find blank name / pass field.

Could others confirm plz?

 

For me, it works as an 'exit game' key. But it may be related to the fact that I have not defined a 'Default game name' or password. Check if you have the same and filling in game name (+ reload cfg) solves the problem.

 

Found these in my d2hackmap.cfg file:

Default Game Name: ""
Default Game Password: ""

So yes, they are the default. But that does not mean the behavior is not glithcy.

Try this plz:
-create a game like "bk-1"
-hit the quick next game button
-go to your create game screen
-check whether game name is prefilled as "bk-2"

 

Without testing, I can tell that it is working as expected. Here's why:
The 'Quick next game' key, when pressed, triggers 2 successive actions: 1. exit current game; 2. create next game, by taking what is in 'Default Game Name' and adding 1.
If that string is null, action 2 will fail, so it will only perform exit game. That's my take, with some basic understanding of programming, and without testing. You are interested in this, so you should do the testing and report back .

 

Today morning I had like 3 times glitch in a row, since then, I cannot reproduce the error. If I find the way, I will report it. It might be related to multiboxing. Clients are connected somehow, not sure of the reason, or the exact way.

I had no this line in my config until now, thx for the idea I included it.

 

The only possible reason I can think of is that you may inadvertently disable the maphack with a key while exiting with quick next game key.
I made a couple experiments and when i reload the config and exited the game with my selected key for quick exit, I find blank name / pass field as you describe.

 

Is there a hotkey for such a function?

 

@ameth:
Open your configuration file and check the line: Reload Config Key: - This command is responsible for enabling / disabling the maphack itself.
You may incidentally hit it while you play. This is the only reason I can think of such a problem. If the problem persists and there is no clear cause, it is a good idea to change your configuration file.

 

I have reload key:
Reload Config Key: VK_R
It is quite close to keys 1-2-3-4 where I drink potions from belt. It is possible, I accidentally hit it in the game.

My "d2hackmap.cfg" is 1055 lines long / 47 Kbyte. Are you sure you want it all?

 

Man, you really need to make use of the vcb file and condense it, by 50 to 70%

 

It is very likely that you will press 'R' while playing. I strongly recommend that you put a different button than ''VK_R''. Consider this, even if there are two causes for this problem, this command is one of them, because as I described above, when you turn it on / off and exit the game, you will find blank name / pass field. In your case, you probably press it without notice and this problem comes up.

 

I was not able to reproduce the error ever since so I suppose, that is what happened. I will listen more carefully in the future.
