    So I started playing through the Geneforge series and had a lot of frustrations with the inventory system and mouse lagging in the first two game. So I made an Auto Hot Key script to drop items in Geneforge 1,2. Its a really simple script where you place your mouse over the item you want to drop and press Z for non-stackable, and X for stackable items. I also bound the enter key on my S button because my left hand is on the left side of the keyboard for pressing A and numbers for dialogue selection and I didn't want to shift my hand to press enter. I am lazy ok.....😙 Its actually really nice once you use it. You can download AHK from here https://autohotkey.com/download/.

    This is the script

    z::
    	Click down
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click up
    	Sleep, 50
    	MouseMove, -500, 0, 1, R
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click down
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click up
    	Sleep, 50
    	MouseMove, 500, 0, 1, R  
    return
    
    x::
    	Click down
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click up
    	Sleep, 100
    	Send, {Enter down}
    	Sleep, 50
    	Send, {Enter up}
    	Sleep, 50
    	MouseMove, -500, 0, 1, R
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click down
    	Sleep, 50
    	Click up
    	Sleep, 50
    	MouseMove, 500, 0, 1, R  
    return
    
    s::
    	Send, {Enter down}
    	Sleep, 100
    	Send, {Enter up}
    return

    To fix the mouse lagg issue I didn't find a good solution on this forum, but I did find this which was very helpful http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html.

    Place the aqrit.cfg and ddraw.dll into the game folder with Geneforge.exe. Change the ForceDirectDrawEmulation  to 1 and personal preference ShowFPS  to 15 to see FPS if you want. Set it to 0 to hide it. If you downloaded all the files I linked in the google drive, I already set ForceDirectDrawEmulation  to 1 and ShowFPS  to 15.

     

    Lastly, and the reason I created this account 1 hour ago is to post the Geneforege 3 mod/QOL changes I made.

    I edited the gf3itemschars.txt file to do three things.

    1.) Gives a small value to most junk items and makes them stack-able (Ex, spoons, bowls, baskets) and rounds out item values to be divisible by 4 since Value 4 = 1 gold. ( it_charges = 1 makes items stackable but your have to set it it_charges =  0 on the next item if you don't want it to be called into next item), refer to this post for help http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/topic/24432-thekians-geneforge-modding-tutorial/.
    2.) Makes your character and creatures move 2x fast. (Change cr_walk_speed from 24 to 48) 
    3.) Makes all items weigh 0.1 pounds so you don't have to worry about being over burdened. (it_weight = 1)

    You have to START A NEW GAME (If you play on the old game it will break some items where it assumes you have null amounts in the inventory and shows X for the number of items). Make new save, and if you want to play on the old save replace my gf3itemschars.txt with a backup and you should be good. I tested it for a few hours, and everything works as intended. 

    MAKE AND BACKUP FOR YOUR gf3itemschars.txt before you replace it with mine.
