The separate program, AutoWarkey which use AutoHotkey to remap the keyboard, has often led users to have concerns with being accused of using a hack. WarKeys purpose is to prevent the errors that can occur when users attempt to modify the CustomKeys.txt with notepad or another text editor. The CustomKeys.txt can be modified by the user with or without WarKeys with the only danger being that any errors in the file can cause the user to have hotkey conflicts or be disconnected. A 'hack' by definition is a program that modifies another program, often in an unauthorized manner, by changing the code itself.īecause the only thing that WarKeys produces for use with Warcraft III is the text file CustomKeys.txt is proof that WarKeys is not a hack. This simply means that you cannot contact Blizzard if you have any problems with WarKeys and that you use WarKeys at your own risk. The exact statement made by Blizzard is that they do not support any third party programs that modify the customkeys.txt.
I don't particularly like hotkeys sometimes, but it seems to me that you'd be better off being a little bit slower than getting banned over using it.Īctually this statement is untrue. Just as an FYI caveat, using this program constitutes a third-party program (hack) in Blizzard's eyes.
