;Coords
;To set those, write /sc<number><spacebar> in ingame chat
;<number> - number of coords
;<spacebar> - once spacebar is pressed - /sc<number> will be replaced by /setcoords <coords by number>
;example: you press Enter to start chat, write /sc1 and once you hit space - you see /sc1 replaced by "/setcoords" and coords from this file

  Everything after "#IfWinActive Freelancer" will only work inside freelancer, which means remapped shortcuts won't bother you outside of the game. (unless active wndow is named Freelancer of course)
  
  In rare cases, Autohotkey seems to not be working inside FL, while fully functioning outside. If that's the case - try downgrading to WinXP and if it doesn't help - SUX2BU
  
• Replace coords (for example ARRR!) with your own, add more if needed and Save file
  
• Right Click on Autohotkey Icon near clock and chose "Reload This Script"
  
• Test if srcipt works by writing ds/ in any text editor (notepad, skype, web browser address input cell) - if ds/ gets replaced by current date - AHK works on your machine
  
• Start Freelancer, log into discovery server and use any of the commands (CTRL+L for example)
  
• Enjoy
  

• Make sure Log is on (Cannon's tutorial or use Freelancer Launcher or Discovery launchpad v1.3 (tutorial+Download link) - Recomended)
  
• Do a /survey ingame
  
• Write something ingame to mark location
  
• open DSAce.log (My docs > My games > Freelancer > DSAce.log) with notepad/notepad2/notepad++/VIM/Word/What ever you like
  
• Srcoll down, select last line and search the way up for Hyperspace survey complete
  
• Copy Coords to autohotkey script, timestamp it and write few comments
  
• Eat a sandwitch

' Wrote:I was told by Zelot perhaps two years ago that using any sorts of Macros was considered against the rules, even ones to write your character's name before a message.

He went as far as to lock the thread.
Dunno if the admin team's position on them has changed in the months since.

' Wrote:Possible. But then there were no /stuck, no /base no /jump and such commands (well, maybe just /stuck). It's undetectable by server. It's used by masses today.

Reason to deny was to prevent spambots and motivate one to communicate not by /setmsg without actual limit of preset msgs, but by using own imagination
