Hotkeys

[[LA]_Ashura]

Hello, is there a way to re-assign hotkeys?

Example: i want FoF hotkey ("f") to be instead in the Right-Shift button. Can I change it?

Yup, search google or the forums for either Gridkeys or KeyDefaults. With this you can reassign in game hotkeys to whatever you want. The process is quite simple and really helps improve your gameplay. Good luck!

hem...sorry...but , what should I do? is that a program ?

[IG`Kasrkin]

Haha yea, Gridkeys and KeyDefaults are both seperate .lua files that you can download and manage through notepad. Once downloaded and put in the right directory, you should be able to change the keys.

I am having trouble re assigning my hotkeys as well. I open up the KEYDEFAULTS.lua with notepad and edit them. It works for me in DC 1.1, but once I patch the game for 1.2, none of the changes take effect and the game reverts back to its original settings.

Any ideas on what I can do to get my hotkeys working for DC 1.2?

As far as I (thought I) knew, you cannot edit LUA's with Notepad as it invalidates the file. You need to use the *.lua reader from the ModTools package.

If the lua file is not compiled, you should be able to edit it in notepad.

I was playing around with the LUA's earlier - all of them can be opened and changed in Notepad/Wordpad, however, only a very small portion of them actually functioned. Some content specific code is generated in relation to the file for integrity purposes I believe. (Not a coder so I don't know fully the protocol).

You have to update your version number for any custom keys or changes to the orginal to work. I'm not sure if everyone's is the same but mine was

"bindings_version = 7.5"

and when I changed it to

"bindings_version = 8.5"

my custom keys worked again.

This line can be edited from the LUA using notepad without any special tools
