You can also use the mouse wheel to rotate the radar, which to my knowledge, is something new.

I missed that view to heading command. I will check out the cfg later today. WhatI mean by undocumented commands wasthat the these commands did not show up on key card. Those keys are grayed out.
on the keyboard layout they are not displayed but on the back list they are

Okay, hang on....

This is becoming a really useful thread.


Are these listed there, but just not assigned with a key? Or do we have to manually type in the command?

If so, can we get a list of possible commands we can add?

Please and Thank You.

PS: I suppose the response to the WP_identify _target is text that appears in themessage box? (no audio)

Here are three commands I put into my commands.cfg file that others might find useful. The first assigns the enter key to returning time comp to normal, replacing torpedo firing (too easy to do accidentally, its now ctrl+enter):

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,c,"Ctrl+Enter"

And these two allow radar to be turned on/off, and to order the sub to radar depth (called snorkel depth in the game):

[Cmd142]
Name=Radar_toggle_on_off
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x52,,"R"

[Cmd195]
Name=Snorkel_depth
Ctxt=1
Str=1033
Key0=0x52,c,"Ctrl+R"

Sweet Jeebus, my good man, thank you!! I can't count how many times I've accidentally pressed the Enter key and fired off a precious torp.

This is good stuff. Thank you.


Ditto on the 'enter' fire key. I keep trying to move the exterior camera quickly with the shift key, and accidently hitting the enter key.

"Firing Tube One"

Huh? What? WAIT!

I noticed there's a "report weather" unassigned in the commands cfg. Anyone try enabling that one?

EDIT: ALso, what does the 52 in Key0=0x52,c,"Ctrl+R" mean? I want to set up the weather Key, but not sure about those numbers.

Gah, I forgot that one!! Here's what I did to enable weather reporting:

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006
Key0=0x57,c,"Ctrl+W"


the #x## designation that is first in the key0= entry assigns the actual key, not the thing in quotes. little c indicates ctrl is pressed with it.

Thank you. So #57 represents the w key?

Is there a chart somewhere that can show me the number equivelant of each key?

Probably we can use the SH3 SetKey 1.11 programme for SH4 as well... Here is the link:
http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/p...SetKey1_11.rar

Then there was a little programme that translated key pressed on the keyboard into SH format so you can copy paste it into the .cfg, I could not find it right away though, anybody?
