Help with 'Commands_en.cfg'

[Frontier359]

While attempting to assign keyboard hotkeys to various GUI buttons, I ran into a couple of problems:

1)

How can I make the command "Return_to_course" NOT take me to the map screen every time I use it?

It looks like this:

[Cmd253]
Name=Return_to_course
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F060004
Key0=("my hotkey here")

Removing that 'MnID' part (which I assume is the Nav Map menu item) didn't work. It still takes me to the map screen.

Is it hard-coded?


2)

I can't get the game to recognize the command to select torpedo tube 1.

These are the listed commands in the CFG file:

[Cmd315]
Name=Select_tube_1
Ctxt=1

[Cmd316]
Name=Select_tube_2
Ctxt=1

[Cmd317]
Name=Select_tube_3
Ctxt=1

[Cmd318]
Name=Select_tube_4
Ctxt=1

[Cmd319]
Name=Select_tube_5
Ctxt=1

[Cmd320]
Name=Select_tube_6
Ctxt=1

For some bizarre reason, on a type-VII boat, the command "Select_tube_1" actually selects tube 2. Likewise, "Select_tube_2" actually selects tube 3. And so on and so forth, from 1 to 6.

I've tried shift the scale down by 1, so it goes from 0 to 5. For example, "Select_tube_1" is now "Select_tube_2", etc. And that actually fixed all the tubes, EXCEPT tube 1.

The game doesn't appear to be recognizing the command for selecting the first tube. My alteration assumes the correct command is "Select_tube_0", but that isn't working.

I'm out of ideas. What could this elusive Tube-1 selection command be?

The first thing I would do is download "SetKeys" for SH3 from the download section, and play around with different settings for your keys.

That's the program I've been using. It did everything right except the two things I've mentioned above.

I think that tube one is selected by default and your select command actually selects the next tube, so select one chooses two, two chooses three...

Well, no, not really. I've successfully mapped tubes 2-5, and can select them with hotkeys in any order. But tube 1 isn't responding at all, no matter what key it's mapped to.
