Broken mouse hand - Options?

[gkmarino]

Hello everyone,

Please offer any help or suggestions, thanks.

I just recently broke my dominant right hand a few days before starting P99. I have mapped my movement to WASD,
Strafe Q & E,
Attack F,
Target Tab,
Autorun V,
I cast with 1-10 & Alt 1-10,

I'm really having problems with a couple key issues so far: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1. Mouse clicking corpses since using the mouse is very, very tough. Then actually taking the items off of the corpse. Especially considering how much looting I do solo at low levels.
1A. Is there any way to target corpses with keyboard and loot with a /loot command?
1B. What about being able to pick up the drops off of the corpse without the mouse?

2. Chatting with group, strangers and the world of Norrath in general.
2A. Would I be able to incorporate Dragon NaturallySpeaking software to type in P99?
2B. Any other ideas for communicating without a dominant hand?

1a- no
1b - no

2a- no, the closest you can do is switch to a textpad program, use your speaking program on there, copy the text, and paste in eq with the shortcut to paste
2b- id try to use a voice chat program with the people you need to communicate with, if possible, otherwise you can roleplay as a mute or a mime

use /loot to open corpse
somehow get the item on your cursor then type /autoinv
It will drop the item to the first available slot in your bags.

the issue is you cannot target the corpse with the keyboard, unless maybe it was targeted before it dies, i dont remember if the target drops when the npc dies

Or get your wife to play while you command her to drive your toon.

"No not that spell, NO!"
"Ok, now /tell honeymuffin Hey baby, where you been?"

perhaps u can use the windows accessibility options to control the mouse with the num pad keys so u can click on things like corpses or items when u need to

Thanks for the help guys you are both all stars. I understand a lot of autoloot features have been removed due to botters. Thanks for the laugh and i'll look into your suggestions.

In the mean time, "Oh god it's that one handed enchanter Garthin again!". "Actually I'm rather impressed... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]"

EQ is the perfect game though because most MMOs now are button spam fests. Wish me luck [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's too bad i cant use a mouse cursor macro program [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] to program a key to loot the certain quadrants of the corpse with a keyboard click. I wonder if I can petition for that ability providing a Doctor's Note.. lol... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can target a corpse by making a hotkey /target A and /loot almost all mobs start with a in their name and if you hit that after killing them it will target the body laying on the ground. As far as looting you have to click item to /autoinv

So maybe I could make a macro?

Loot Assist
/target A
/loot
/*pause a few seconds code to allow loot time with mouse*
/*code to release corpse?* (esc or move forward?)
