Tourney modding made easier with AutoHotkey

Autohotkey is a script based macro program. I found it to be pretty usefull while hosting my tourney.

Here are some very simple scripts I made, feel free to use and modify them if you like
They should work both in W:A and ProSnooper, but i reccomend ProSnooper

Announcement hotkey
Probably the simplest script you can imagine. Press a hotkey (here its Win+a) and it sends out your announcement.

Code:

announcement = /me \gMy announcment.

#a::
KeyWait LWin
KeyWait RWin
SendInput, %announcement%{Enter}
return

Pairings Printer
Intended to work with the Pairing Tool from Worms Olympics. Takes your generated pairs and prints them out line by line so you don't have to copy & paste each line manually. The pairings must be in your clipboard, so copy them from the pairing tool first. When you want to start printing, press Win+P.

Code:

#p::
KeyWait LWin
KeyWait RWin
FileDelete, txt\pairs.txt
FileAppend, %clipboard%, txt\pairs.txt
FileAppend, %clipboard%`r`n================`r`n, txt\history.txt
Loop, read, txt\pairs.txt
{
    Loop, parse, A_LoopReadLine, %A_Tab%
    {
        Send /me \y%A_LoopField%{Enter}
        sleep 2000
    }
}
SoundBeep, 100, 200
SoundBeep, 500, 200
return

When its done it will make a nice noise out of the PC speaker (yay sounds so retro).
This also creates 2 text files:
pairs.txt - the last set of pairs, overwritten after each printing
history.txt - all of your printed pairs, doesnt get overwritten, you can clear it manually before your next tourney

Here's a zip with both scripts
Once you have AutoHotkey installed, just double click a script to run it.
It's best to run worms_help.ahk because it includes both of the scripts described above. Edit announcement.ahk to change the announcment text.

Hope this post will be somewhat usefull... I'm a bit tired now so I might improve it later.

Great post mate! Very useful scripts indeed

Looks good! So I assume you use that program to work it.

Nice.....

Yep, I added a download link so you just need to install AutoHotkey and run the script you want.
