MEC2 : Commands - all players

  • -assign (as) [‹modifier›]‹key› ‹command›
    Great improvement for that command. Initialy based on 8 hero skills, now it's independant of the hero unit and you can use any of the 26 letters, any of the 10 digits above letters (just type the digit), and any of the 10 numpad digits (type a digit prefixed with "n"). So you have 20 differents keys for digits.
    Additionaly you have facultative modifiers which are ctrl (C), shift (S) and ctrl + shift (CS).
    That makes potentially (26 + 10 + 10) * 4 = 184 differents shortcuts.
    Examples
    -as a apm a
    -as n1 rc
    -as CSt teleport
  • -unassign (uas) [‹modifier›]‹key›
    Removes a keyboard shortcut with its shortcut string.
    Examples
    -uas CSt
  • -displayShortcuts (ds)
    Displays the keyboard shortcuts you added. Same as MEC 1 but I add it here as a recall.
  • -leaderboard (ldb) on | off | mb|multiboard | global | current | classic
    With MEC 1, we got a simple leaderboard displaying lives and game time. We call it "classic" leaderboard.
    Now we got a multiboard too, to display scores in coop mode. One save brings +1 point, one death brings -1 point.
    You can show/hide leaderboard/multiboard, and switch between them.
    There are additionaly two score modes, global for all the game, and current for the current game since the last restart in the game.
    Examples
    -ldb current
  • -firstPersonCam (fpc) on | off
    A gameplay mode with a first person camera view.
    You can use left and right arrows to control you character.
    Examples
    -fpc on
  • -lockCam (lc) [‹player› | on | off]
    Allows you to lock your camera on a player hero.
    Without parameter or with parameter "on", it locks on yourself.
    With a parameter representing a player (color, name, number, selection), locks on this player's hero.
    With parameter "off", unlock your camera.
    Examples
    -lc
  • -followMouse (fm) ‹boolean› [neverDisable|nd]
    Allows your character to follow your mouse when you move it during sliding.
    By default, you can stop following your mouse during sliding by making a simple click. Then to enable it again, hold click during 0.2s. When you start sliding, following mouse is always enabled if you typed the command with "on" parameter, except if you're on reverse terrain ; in that case you start sliding without following your mouse.
    With parameter "neverDisable" (nd), you will always follow your mouse while sliding, even if you click.
    Be careful, using keyboard arrows to move camera isn't moving your mouse. You will notice that quickly.
    I love follow mouse mode. There is a disadvantage when enabled on Internet, your ping grows by about 30 ms. But in my opinion the feature remains great anyway.
    Examples
    -fm on nb
    -fm off
  • -ignoreDeathMessages (idm) ‹boolean›
    Put this to on to remove death messages displaying.
    Can be useful in coop mode with lot of people.
  • -showNames () ‹boolean›
    If you put this to on, it will display the name of other players' heroes above the head of their characters, only for yourself. (and other players using the command)
  • -othersTransparency (ot) ‹number› | off|reset
    Forces a chosen transparency to other players' heroes. It overrides the transparency chosen by each player for their hero.
    This change of appearance applies just for yourself.
    Use "off" or "reset" to get normal transparencies back.
  • -myStartCommands (msc) [ list | add ‹command› | del ‹commandNumber› | ec ‹commandNumber› | delall ]
    This command allows you to program any number of commands that will automatically be executed by yourself, at start of any game based on MEC 2, once your hero appears.
    You can for example give your hero a constant appearance, create keyboard shortcuts for gaming or map making...
    Without parameter or with parameter "list", it will list all your memorized commands and display for each a number allowing to target it for remove.
    With parameter add, the rest of the command is the command to add (like with assign and saveCommand commands).
    Use del parameter with a second parameter as the number of the command to remove it.
    Use delall to empty your start commands list.
    Use parameter "ec" to immediately execute the chosen command.
    Examples
    -msc
    -msc list
    -msc add as a apm a
    -msc del 2
    -msc ec 4
  • -userInterface (ui) off | on | map
    Disables partly or totally the graphical user interface.
    With parameter "off" you disable if totally, except for the leaderboard which has its own settings (with command "leaderboard").
    With parameter "minimap", you keep a minimap, which is positionned to the left bottom corner of your screen.
    With parameter "on", you get you default interface.
