Mapping Hydrophone volume to keyboard ?

[Fubar2Niner]

Hi shipmates.

Like the question says, I want to map my h/phone volume control to my k/b but have no idea how to do it. I've looked in commands_en.cfg, which I guess is the right route to go, and have found.......

[cmd146]
Name=Change_hydrophone_volume
Ctxt=1

My guess is this is the correct route, but I have no idea about key codes etc. If anyone could help an old lag, I'd be most grateful :arrgh!:

Best regards.

Just look here:

You need to change these decimal values to hex.
So, to assign the shift-h key, you need to write:
Key0=0x48,s,"Shift+H"
Because:
the 'H' key is 72 dec = 48 hex
's' - action with the 'shift' key ('c' for the 'control' key).
Good luck.

Thanks for the info runio, will this make the example key a simple toggle ie. increase/decrease volume?

I don't know, you have to check it yourself.
