How to Use:

1. Download the latest release or the Monacro folder.
2. Configure the constants in the settings file, especially the Editor Path.
3. Run Main.ahk or Monacro.exe.

Navigation:

• Left-click a button or use the visible hotkeys to trigger an action.
• Right-click a button or use Ctrl + Hotkey to open the options menu.
• Close the options menu by repeating the action or losing focus.

Actions:

• Record: Sends a message to unlock/lock the Logger. It will periodically flush the recording.
• Play: Runs the most recent script.
• Pause: Sends a message to lock the logger or pause the running script.
• Edit: Opens the most recent script in the editor.
• Exit: Flushes options, stops the Logger, and closes the GUI.

Options:

Record

• Input Field: Set a name for a new record.
• New: Create a new name with a suffix _(d++) based on the highest existing record.
• Override: Replace the file if it exists and create a backup.
• Append: Add the record to the end of the file. Remove ExitApp and PostMessage manually.
• Screen Mode/Window Mode: Mode of Coordinate Logging.

Pause

• Precise Mode: Registers Up and Down presses with precise delay.
• Aggregate Mode: Registers only Down presses, combines letters, creates key loops, and has a set delay.
• SpdR: Speed of Recording - The speed that is logged during recording.
• SpdM: Speed Multiplier - Script PlaySpeed is calculated by (SpdR * SpdM).
• Various Log Option Toggles:
  • Log Color: Waits for color before clicking.
  • Log Keyboard: Registers key presses.
  • Log Mouse: Registers mouse clicks and wheel actions.
  • Log Sleep: Logs delay between actions.
  • Log Window: Logs window changes.

Play/Edit

• Pick a file to play or edit.

Exit

• Open WorkDir in editor.
• Create/Pick a WorkDir. (Folder from which files are shown and recorded to)

TODO:

• Implement second tooltip updating during script runtime.
• Update mouse delays in precise mode to reflect actual timing.
• Develop a hotkey manager to set hotkeys for scripts in the GUI, based on WorkDir.
• Add functionality to delete/rename files in Edit/Play.
• Make AggregateDelay modifiable (currently set to 200).
• Better gui code management
• Shared util function file

How it came to be

This is a heavy rewrite of a modification of a macro made by FeiYue, that I found some time ago on reddit (see Deprecated folder) I really liked the toolbar gui concept, some logger logic is also based on the original. This was my first real ahk project, I have somehow hammered the v1 in one week. The option guis are probably a bit overcomplicated, but hey, it works!

How it works

The program runs in two threads, initialized by the Main file. First the Toolbar gui is initialized in a loop, based on a string list of [key]label. Next are the labels for actions %label%Hotkey that change the Main button states, execute actions, or send messages. After that there are %label%OptionsHotkey that are send to an Option gui recreator, that toggles the create and destroy of the gui, to refresh it's contents. On create a Load%label%Options label is called. Those labels and their respected checkbox/editbox/button action sublabels continue until the end of the file.
The logger initialzes the hotkeys in pararell with the gui in a suspended state. Most of it's logic consists of if statements that change the logged output.
