AutoHotkey script for better mouse controls

  1. Use custom DOSBox instead of normal DOSBox
  2. Open dosbox.conf and insert the following line
windowtitle=DOSBoxWC

Now it's easier to use Autohotkey with the #IfWinActive variable.

Mouse button mappings do not work properly when DOSBox is running in fullscreen so the use of windowed mode is required.

3. This is the script for your .ahk file:
SetTitleMatchMode 3

#IfWinActive DOSBoxWC
{
;move/repair/attack on right mouse button
rbutton::send {esc} {sleep 2}{a}{r}{sleep 2}{lbutton}

;harvest/return goods on middle mouse button (use this button for peons)
mbutton::send {esc} {sleep 2}{h}{t}{sleep 2}{lbutton}

;Selection box for left mouse button
lbutton::
	send {ctrl down}{lbutton down}
	keywait, lbutton
	send {ctrl up}{lbutton up}
return
}
