I need help changing a few of my button configurations.

I found the file I need to change the buttons in but I don't know how.

I wish to make the backspace key, previously the pause key, bring the time compression down to x1 instantly.

Then I want the pause/break key (Right of Scroll Lock above Page Up key) to be the pause key. Keeping me from having to use the + and - keys to warp in and out of tc.

Anyways, since I'm rather dense in changing cfg files I would need detailed assistance, but any would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Try the program when you are not drunk, then you´ll be able to figure out how it works... :)

I used Setkeys and its a great program, however, somehow , something got screwed up and the game would not run properly. Someone then sent me an original config file that I loaded over the altered one and it restored everything back to original. Then I saved that in a backup file, made the basic changes that I wanted with setkey, saved that config file and left it alone. There were certain changes that the game did NOT like for some reason. What I did withoug problems is de-activate the fire torpedo with Ener key, and set Enter to return to 0 time compression, set Page up and page down to fully raise and lower the scope,and added set course to view and set view to course. I hope this helps. Joe S

Hi. I'm Cavalier889, and I wrote SetKeys. There are some keys that the game uses as hard-coded inputs. The arrow keys, the page keys and some others are not editable. Although SetKeys tells the program that you want those keys, they are pre-empted by the code. I think I noted the most common hard-coded keys in the readme, but I may have missed some. SetKeys is a great tool to experiment with, but I can't say that every combination will work; that's why it is imperitive that you back up your .cfg files before you start. Good luck to you!

Hi. I'm Cavalier889, and I wrote SetKeys.
I realize that this is an older thread but can you tell me if this utility works for the current GWX mod too?

Or could someone point me to how I could otherwise change one single key All I would like to change is to use the 'enter' key for firing torpedo's again, because I miss having a key for that. The rest works fine for me.

Thanks in advance.

You can use SetKeys with GWX. I did. I wanted my TC to go back to 1x when I press enter, so I used it for that. Also, the latest version of SetKeys is 1.3. 1.3 lets you modify the commands.de file for those who need to.

Thanks for the info guys, Setkeys it is then.

And of course thanks to Cavalier889 for writing it in the first place. :up:

Thanks cavalier889 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=214113) for the great programme. It has been very helpful especially because I use finnish keyboard.
