Other XML content for Archer auto 'F' ... what does this mean?

[Astara_]

I was looking at the patch for the dawn F auto-press.patch, and am curious. I split out classic + bns mode, just to focus on 1 at a time:

Have:
Search = <result context-3="211340" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211340" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />
Search = <result context-3="211341" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211341" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />
Search = <result context-3="211342" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211342" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />
Search = <result context-3="211343" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211343" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />
Search = <result context-3="211344" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211344" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />
Search = <result context-3="211345" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" />
Replace = <result context-3="211345" context-ui-effect="key-change" control-mode="bns" key-status="unpress" />

So it seems the Search lines look for a line to replace, and I guess the numbers are the i-frame type moves.
and it seems to add a key-status="unpress" to each of those lines.

How does that equate to pressing an 'F' in game? Wouldn't I see some change to a key-status="press" for the ability associated with 'F'?

Thanks for any insight.

All those lines simply add key-status="unpress" to those skills.

https://www.bnsbuddy.com/threads/remove-skills-from-simple-mode.551/

That post explains everything about skills, except the key-status="unpress".

PLEASE NOTE: I am not trying (yet) to write a patch or extension. I am only trying to understand how the above code does what it claims to do. I'm beginning to thing that it doesn't. If it *does* do what it claims to do, I just don't understand it -- so I am trying to understand it. If it does not do what it claims to do, I will likely take it back to where I got it and mention this. If they can't do anything about it (and if I was an idiot for using it), THEN I will probably try to do what is needed to "fix" it (make it do what its title says it does).

But the above lines (along with a matching set for control-mod="normal", are all that are in the extention to add 'f' after any of the fast-move ability usages. Apart from the tutorial you point to, I am trying to verify how 'key-status="unpress"' adds the 'f' skill after any of the fast-move skills,
because those are the only lines in the extension I was told to add, that does an 'auto-f' after every fast move.

You point me to a general tutorial, on how to remove skills from simple mode, but that's not what I asked -- I'm just trying to verify what
the above code does and how it _adds_ (not removes) the 'f-skill' after any of the movement keys.

If I understand what you are saying, it doesn't?

Please understand, I am a Computer Scientist who has programmed in many different languages, and I'm trying to apply the
same 'rigour' and detail of understanding to the code above. I just don't see how it does what it claims it does.

I will try to go through the URL you point at, but that isn't telling me how a key-status="unpress" (which you say isn't covered
in the URL, would equate into what the extension is supposed to do.

And please, understand, I'm not trying to be difficult, I just don't understand and can be incredibly dense until I actually "get it".

Thanks.

The F key is already in the code, it's Context-3. Context-1 is LMB and Context-2 is RMB for reference, it's mentioned in the general tutorial Cupid linked which is probably why he wanted you to read it.

As for "Key status unpressed" I have no practical experience with it but I haven't seen anyone complaining that it doesn't work in general so you should be good there, if you're having trouble with the addon you should do general troubleshooting first like getting a clean XML and reapplying the addon.

Exactly this!

All the info is explained there, so, why should I repeat myself every other post?

I also have no experience with it, which is why it doesn't exist at all in the post I've linked.

When I experiment with it, I will add it.

Based on the name ALONE, i assume it fakes a key press for the skill.
Again, THIS IS A WILD GUESS BASED ON THE NAME.
