EAW Pause by key
This mod uses external software with VERY easy-to-use AutoHotkey scripts. This mod should not be activated in game!
By loading the script out of the mod folder you can Pause/Unpause the game by pressing space bar.
You can find the scripts in the content folder of steam workshop. The folder name should be the same as the mod’s id:
steamapps/workshop/content/32470/3731043064
——————————————————–
Use those scripts with AutoHotkey 2.0 by simple double-clicking the script file(s).

There is a script for the Base Game/Corruption, but also 2 scripts for the Mods "Thrawn’s Revenge" and "Awakening of the Rebellion". You can also use the scripts for every other overhaul mod.
——————————————————–
a) Base Game:
Start the script "STARWARS_Base_Game.ahk" whenever you want. Then just hit the Space Bar for Pause/Unpause.
b) Mods:
1. Start the Script for the mod you are playing:
-"STARWARS – Awakening_of_the_Rebellion.ahk"
– "STARWARS – Thrawn_revenge.ahk"
2. Press F12 to change the mode( campaign or battle ).
As those mods make use of the pause button in different x-y positions on the campaign map and in battle, you need to tell this the script by pressing F12 when the game switches between campaign and battle. When pressing F12 the script will tell you which mode is currently active.
3. Use Spacebar to Pause/unpause the game
c) other Mods:
To use it with other mods, activate the "Show_x_y.ahk" script and get the X_Y position of the pause button ingame.
Now make a new copy of one of the game scripts. If the mod’s Pause button is always at the same position( campaign and battle ), make a copy of the base game script, otherwise one of the mods scripts.
Edit the new X_Y values, save and start the new script.
——————————————————–
If it’s not working, the X_Y coordinates of your Pause button don’t match with mine. This may be caused by a different resolution.
To solve this, start the script "Show_x_y.ahk" which shows the actual X_Y Position of your cursor. Write them down while holding right above the Pause button ingame.
Now edit the script by opening with a simple text editor and change the X_Y coordinates.
After saving restart the script.
