[Guide] convert songs in autohotkey to standard hotkeys

Hi guys,

Don't know if this has been said before, but this might help the people who already have custom functions on their numpad (mounts for example) and would like to keep the standard keys for the notes.
To convert the keys correctly for Autohotkey to pick them up with the standard hotkeys, you have to follow the next couple of steps:

1. Open the exported song in a notepad program where you can search and replace.
2. Replace "Numpad" with "" (nothing)
3. Replace "9" with "temp" (you can fill in whatever you want, as long as it doesn't correspond with anything in the script)
4. Replace "0" with "9"
5. Replace "temp" with "0"

This will change the entire script to work with your basic keys and let's you keep your numpad nice and usable.

Hope this helps.

So if you do this the way you suggested you change the numbers in the tempo/wait annotations so I would suggest doing it this way:
1, Replace "Numpad9" with "0"
2, Replace "Numpad0" with "9"
3, Replace "Numpad" with "0"


This way the songs won't be out of rythm

What programs or tools do you usually use to convert or cut songs?

Ah this helps! Was thinking why my notes arent working properly, by not switching octave.
But have to be more careful tho, since "0" and "9" can appear in "Sleep" counts, so have to swap Numpad0 and Numpad9 first, then the rest.

Use {0 and {9 to not interfere with timings.

But for me it's not really working well yet... something is still wrong. =(
