[FIX]Taverns' and sideshops' hotkeys

Fix taverns' and sideshops' hotkeys

As you may know you actually can't buy anything (except TP) on sideshops nor pick heroes on taverns through hotkeys because since 6.60 (when Icefrog changed the tavern layout and added the new sideshops) you can't assign hotkeys to hero/items code.

Actually, there is a way to fix this problem by ourselves (link below), its not complicated, but this shouldn't be made by us, the map itself has to have this. Also, we have to do this everytime we download a map. There is another method that is making an exe file so the map can be "patched", but it has language limitations and someone has to do it for you or can be done by yourself but it takes its time to do so.

Thats why im suggesting to fix this hotkeys so we can buy quickly on side shops (not big deal with taverns but every single button should have its hotkey).

At the moment strings looks like this:

[Harf]
Name="Omniknight"
Hotkey=
Propernames=Purist Thunderwrath
Revivetip="Revive Omniknight"
Awakentip="Revive Omniknight"
Ubertip="Backgroundstory |n|n|c00ff0303Strength|r - 20 + 2.65|n|c000042ffAgility|r - 15 + 1.75|n|c000042ffIntelligence|r - 17 + 1.8|n|nLearns Purification, Repel, Degen Aura, and |c00ff8000Guardian Angel|r.|n|nAttack range of 100 (melee).|nMovement speed of 300."
Tip="Omniknight"

It should be changed to this:

[Harf]
Name="Omniknight"
Hotkey=_
Propernames=Purist Thunderwrath
Revivetip="Revive Omniknight"
Awakentip="Revive Omniknight"
Ubertip="Backgroundstory |n|n|c00ff0303Strength|r - 20 + 2.65|n|c000042ffAgility|r - 15 + 1.75|n|c000042ffIntelligence|r - 17 + 1.8|n|nLearns Purification, Repel, Degen Aura, and |c00ff8000Guardian Angel|r.|n|nAttack range of 100 (melee).|nMovement speed of 300."
Tip="Omniknight"

By adding a "_" after "Hotkey=" we can get hotkeys working again as it was on 6.59.

PROS:
-No more fixing when an update comes out
-You can buy quickly
-Each button having its hotkey (as it should be)

CONS:
-NO CONS!!!, plus we can free some kbs by deleting stuff that do not belong to DotA.

E.g.
This is what i took from NightElfUnitStrings.txt

[ebal]
Name=Glaive Thrower
Hotkey=T
Tip=Train Glaive |cffffcc00T|rhrower
Ubertip="Long-range siege weaponry. Exceptional damage versus buildings. |n|n|cffffcc00Attacks land units.|r"

You will never see this on DotA since you can't train a glaive thrower, it can be delete and no one will even notice plus we can gain some kb which means new imported icons , correct me if im wrong.

Please support this, don't say that this is unneeded because IT IS REALLY NEEDED.

Here is the post which shows how to fix this problem:

No comments yet???? WTF? You don't care about this?? It is extremly important.

[ximenting]

I NEED it badly please please. and the short cut key for invoker skill 1 and 2 dont work for me please help thanks i love your DTk key alot but why you remove the invoker super key functions?

@ximenting: Any comment not related to the topic at hand (the suggestion) that can be posted somewhere else, or talked via PM or visitors message, can and will be considered as spam.

@OP: It's obviously some error/bug/mistake, so there's lil point arguing about this. My only concern is if it's simply a lil mistake that can be fixed easily, or something worse.

Makes sense

[crisgon]

Guys??? Support it, c'mon.

Simple Suggestion. I'm a f**king lazy person and I hate to extract Human-,NightElf-,Orc-,UndeadunitStrings.txt of each dota map every patch. Then I open it with Txt editor, use the "replace all" function and replace "Hotkeys=" with "Hotkeys=_" in order to assign a hotkey to it. If you assign _ this to the hotkey my customkeys work for sideshops and taverns again. Then I implent it in the current dota version again. Come on, it's no big deal, froggy. Just would be a gr8 relief. I hate MPQ master

At the moment strings looks like this in each dota map
