I play SH3 on a MacBook Pro 15" with Windows XP and BootCamp from Apple. My laptop don't have a numpad.

Just use fn key together with for example F1. You can use all keys if you use fn which is on every laptop.

I don't think it is wise to change keys, because when you have a specific question, nobody can help you any further. Because all here (I suppose) have the same keys.

i can figure out which fn key activiates it my keyboard is rather crazy

its french/english + function so i cant really figure out how to activate it in my opinion itd be easier just to change the keys for me

OK, I understand, maybe you should download Setkeys v1.3 for SH3.

On your keyboard keys is additional information printed - often in different colour - allways specially marked.
Search for "Num" close to the F12 key. Sometimes it's an extra key, sometimes an alternative function of F11...

Press Fn + the "Num" key and you activate the keyboard numpad printed on
the 7890 - uiop - jkl? - m,.- keys (your layout may differ).

I switched the TC keys to V and B by modifying the commands.cfg in ...\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

Make command 5 look like this:

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x42,,"B"
Key1=0x56,R,"V"
;Key2=0x6B,,"Npad +"

"B" increases TC step by step, "V" maximizes TC with one hit now!

Disable command 18 like this:

[Cmd18]
Name=Binocular_camera
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0x42,,"B"

The ; makes the program to ignore the line.
The binocular can be brought up with the mousewheel!

Disable comand 30 - the focus on event camera like this:

[Cmd30]
Name=Focus_on_event_cam
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0x56,,"V"

I never use it.

You may choose different keys for your personal preference.

Download Setkeys from the link provided previously.
I use it and it is well worth it. Makes it a lot easier than getting into a file and messing around in it.
