[TEC] Custom Key mapping, the hard way...

[ATR-42]

in the absence of an easy way to set key mappings what is the nitty gritty of finding the key 'map'?

example...

[Cmd120]
Name=Rise_periscope
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x21,R,"PgUp"

[Cmd121]
Name=Rise_whole_periscope
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x21,c,"Ctl+PgUp"

if i want to assign a key to a command i need to pick a key then i need to know the map for that key, "key0=0x21,r...." how do you figure out the map? im sure modifiers such as wanting to set shift or alt with the key stroke complicates matters. is there a method or code to the map itself?

i thought about just cherry picking the data from the config file of Sh4. say that file shows the above map for periscope key, simply copy and paste that info into the sh5 config file.

comments suggestions?

Use this little tool developed by Timetraveler for SH3.
http://www.filefront.com/15784615/SH3KeyChecker.zip/

hit a key and copy the map code to clipboard and then past in the commands.cfg

gonna check it out now

Does anybody have a working download link or a copy of Timetraveler's Tool ?

I need to adapt a modded commands.cfg to a Swiss German Keyboard Layout as some commands placed on "non-standard" keys don't work for me....

searching for alternatives on the net wasn't really fruitfull till now....

Are you sure you have not forgotten an old file inside your hard drive?
I hope a fan of SHIII has this file.

Sorry mate, I looked for it anywhere it could have been on my hard drives and on the web, but I didn't find it. Maybe try asking in the SH3 forum section.

If anyone finds it, I will upload it here on subsim

The irony, I found it! Somehow this tiny EXE has survived like 3 PC builds and been passed down through several hard drives, SSDs and NVMe lol

not sure how to send it though... all the hosting websites we used to use are now gone
