[WIP] UI independent Keyboard Layout Help

DrJones · 02-08-14, 01:05 PM

Hey Mates,

the keyboard layout Help of this games has always be a pain in the neck for me.

So i decided to write a function that is reading out the commands.cfg and looking for commands wich has a key binding.

Whenever a change has been done in the commands.cfg it will be displayed.

Screen shot for example

I have created it that way that every written text is depending on what is written in the menu.txt.
If this mod is used it has all to be copied to the menu.txt you are using.

So the help can be displayed in different languages and keyboard layouts wich is used.

I tried to find out every possible Virtual Key Code belonging to the standard english(USA) keyboard layout.

It is called by using the F1 Key but does not show any more the graphics of the keyboard layouts.

Please Report if there are some Errors.

Please read the menu.txt carfully before adding this one.

Best Regards so far and I hope the Help will help ....

SH keymapper works for the commands.cfg but not the menu.txt part.

Ive always thought it was dumb/lazy when a game's help menu is static and doesn't show when you changed the key binding...

Hey Mates,

that is the actual shot with another text style and some corrections in the class i wrote for that in the final version....just have to put all the things and descriptions togehter to release....there is one thing that I am not able to solve...it is not possible to scroll the list by using the mouse wheel...i don't know why...you have to use the scrollbar on the right side....
