Setkeys for SH4?

[I'm goin' down]

Can anyone from SH3 convert Setkeys into a program that can be used in SH4. Also, a tutorial is requested, as I cannot locate one.

[Wreford-Brown]

Changing Setkeys is well outside my ability, but I've created a mod for SH4 that maps SH3 keys across: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdte0dcdm0y5g25

[I'm goin' down]

I want to add things to SH4 such as a command to open all of the torpedoe tube doors, fire salvos, etc. Those commands do not exist in the SH4 program. Either Setkey or AutoHotKey should make it possible, but I have no idea how to work eithter of those programs.

I'm relatively certain setkeys will work for sh4, just be aware that there are more commands available for sh4.
Also, this thread could be put in the sh3 mods or the sh4 mods sections...

Try bastardising my mod - If you want to change a key combination, do a search for the key (e.g. "P") and it will give you the right line to put in.

You could also try postalbyke's suggestion, as Setkeys should work in SH4 as it's (mostly) the same file structure.

I am trying to figure out how to read the cfg files. I do not know the code for the key strokes in the game. How can I modify the keystrokes if I do not know that? I can't obviously, nor can I program new functions. Where do I get started on figuring it out. There is no tutorial for Setkeys that I can locate. I need some basic guidance to get started.

I downloaded your mod. Here are some cfg entries that hopefully you can explain to me. I am not sure where you figured any of this out, but maybe if it is explained, I can get strarted. What I am interested in doing is firing salvos in SH4. Currently it is not possible. There are several other changes, as well, such going to maximum TC in one keystroke. Here is a portion of the cfg file that I copied.
