Keyboard Settings
 

Is there a way of editing/adding keystrokes easily (for a non-programmer) for the Add-On or is there a Mod available for this?

In the Data/Cfg folder, there is a commands.txt, inside which you can set all kinds of custom keys, including things that are there but weren't 'activated'.

I have a key to bring up the stopwatch, I have a key for "give weather report", one for "depth below keel", etc.

it's very cool because you can ask for these reports without having to pull up order icons.

This was mine before the 1.4 and addon, I'm getting ready to adjust it for new things though...

commands

As well I, and I'm sure others, have copied the key commands from Ducimus' Trigger Maru mod. It expands the number of keys available, only thing would be nice to make up a key chart since I cannot remember all the keys all the time :p

And you can use Jimimadrid's Hud Configurator program to make your own buttons in your Order's bar. It is compatible for version 1.5. I have added weather buttons, max fuel range for current speed, and others using this program.

looking thru the cfg file, i could not locate the command for the interface. (number pad delete). where in the config file is it. i want to change the command from number pad delete, to the middle mouse button. is that possible?

thanks for any feedback.

I just searched through it myself, and don't see it either.

I remember Jimimadrid's Hud Configurator from an earlier version but can no longer find it. Do you have a link?

The great thing about a great game is a forum like this where people like me can ask for help & it is there. Makes all the difference!

Indeed it does. :up:

Maybe I can help
 

I am using a mod of my own making stolen from Trigger Maru (Ducimus, quit hitting me!) which is the complete keyboard layout from TM plus shift-i for some officer (depending on mods running) identify target. If anybody's interested I'll make it available on Filefront. It works great with SH4UBM. Heck, here you go. I hate to be teased. The secret link. Shhhhhhhhh!:up:

You, Sir, are my personal hero now :up:

for editing the command.cfg, you can use setkeys.exe. this is a small programm you cann find here at subsim. just rename the commands.cfg in commands_de (or commands_en, for english) and open it with setkeys.exe.

Blast this stupid internet filter here at work!! Filefront is classified as peer2peer! I can't download the file now. Have to wait until I get home! :damn:

Here Major...

I took the file and put it on my own server so you can grab it.

FILE

setkeys.exe
 

Does anyone know where this file is?
I can't find Jimimadrid's Hud Configurator either.

I'm having the same kind of luck trying to find a Jap ship to sink. :D

You think YOU have problems?
 

Even harder on this U-Boat without a decent radar and I still can't find the head! Been stinkin up the fantail. I've been spoiled by the fleet boat. And all these foreign inscription on everything are maddening! How many liters in a kilometer?:down:

Which file?
