Are WMK/AHK allowed?

General

Hi I was just wondering if windows mousekeys (WMK) and autohotkeys (AHK) are allowed? Both of these were around in 2004 and were allowed to my understanding as long as AHK was 1:1 (1 input for 1 output) but just wanted to make sure they were allowed on here as well.

This would be the script I would be using:

1::
Mousemove, 0 , 40, 0, Rel
return

Same exact thing as WMK without all the annoyances of WMK. Would just be using to drop fish.

I’m not convinced that 1:1 input includes moving the mouse number of pixels greater than 1. Usually that gets thrown around for something more simple, like a button press becomes a click.

ever get an answer? I want to use
1::
Click, Right
Return

2::
mousemove 0,115,0,r
Return

3::
Click, Left
Return

The rules address WMK/AHK usage: Guide | 2004Scape

They say:

Players must not use bots or macros. All scriptable macros are disallowed. Using macros to defeat the AFK timer is not allowed.
The only exceptions to this rule are:

  • Windows Mouse Keys (WMK)
  • Keyboard rebinds (you may rebind one key to another key)
  • AutoHotkey (AHK) may be allowed under the strict condition that the script used is an exact emulation of Windows Mouse Keys.
  • Autotypers are allowed for trading purposes provided they are kept to a 10-second interval or longer.

Using AHK to re-implement WMK is fine but it is your responsibility as a scripter to understand the limitations of WMK and what it can or cannot do. This is what “1:1” means – 1 input, 1 output and each output must be within WMK’s capabilities.

I would advise testing your training methods with vanilla WMK first. If you cannot get WMK to do what you need to do, consider how it would reflect on your account if you used AHK to close the gap… (probably not very well!)

My take, don’t bother using AHK. at all - that’s how you don’t get banned.

Someone got a useful and allowed AHK script to share?

My helpful AHK script is: use AHK and you will almost certainly be banned. Anything you do with it beyond remapping a click to a key is gonna get you banned, and you can easily do any of that with WMK with no tweaks.

Yes, I saw now the rule change. Thanks for the advice.
