Hello all,

After seeing myself not using the hotkeys because of some weird positions I looked into how I could change them. After finding the "Option.ini" file i played around and got it working.

Before proceeding you should be familiar with editing .txt files.

1. Go to the following folder: C:\Users\<Your user>\Saved Games\EugenSystems\Wargame
2. Create a copy of "Option.ini" and rename it to "Option.ini.bak"
3. Open "Option.ini" in a texteditor of your choice.
4. Scroll to the bottom.

You will now see the following:
Code:
[hotkeys]
   HK_MainMenu = 222
   HK_ShowUnitInfos = 9
   HK_DisplayZones = 73
   HK_SituationAwarenessNextEvent = 32
   HK_TrackCamKey = 78
   HK_AutoZoom = 89
   HK_SatView = 72
   HK_Stop = 69
   HK_Split = 88
   HK_ShootOnPosition = 84
   HK_QuickMove = 77
   HK_Attack = 65
   HK_Unload = 85
   HK_ChangeAltitude = 87
   HK_Merge = 82
   HK_Load = 76
   HK_Camera0 = 90  // Moving camera NORTH
   HK_Camera1 = 81  // Moving camera LEFT / WEST
   HK_Camera2 = 83  // Moving camera SOUTH / BACK
   HK_Camera3 = 68  // Moving camera RIGHT / EAST
   HK_ShowHideChat = 112


5. To change hotkeys, you find the action you want. For example the "QuickMove". (Which in this case is the "HK_QuickMove" and is set to 70) and change the value according to the ASCII table below.

Be aware that the keybindings is for the AZERTY keyboard type. This means that if you want to change the Z for the QWERTY you have to find the equivilant in AZERTY.

I have posted a chart below, for example if you want to remap Z on QWERTY, you find the ASCII code for W.

This means that for QWERTY the following keys differ:
Code:
AZERTY  QWERTY
A         Q
Z         W
Q         A
W         Z
M         ;

Example of change:
I want to change my Fast move from 'M' or ';' into 'F'

You look up 'F' in the ASCII table, which is 70 . You then change the line in the text file saying:
Code:
HK_QuickMove = 77

to
Code:
HK_QuickMove = 70



I have tested this locally and it works fine for me.

Be aware that these hotkeys are for AZERTY keyboards. Using these remappings on the QWERTY is kind of confusing.

There are some strange occurances though. If you activate the "Show hotkeys" in the option and hover over the "Attack" action, you will see it is set to "q". But if you look at this file, according to the ASCII table it is set to A. Which is incorrect. Don't think it matters much though. :)

Have fun creating your hotkeys.

If anyone find any problems or errors, please let me know.

Best regards,
BrokenTomato

Oh. That sucks. Probably why remapping is going to hell, because the translation from QWERTY to AZERTY is screwing up. =/

It should now work if you just look at the mappings of the AZERTY.

EDIT: If you are uncertain about how to remap keybindings after this guide, let me know which keyboard type you use, and which keymappings you want and I'll make it for you.

Well that explains the botched hotkeys AZERTY->QWERTY conversion. That really is something that the devs should have fixed in QA......although thanks for this, ill remap my stuff tomorrow.

That doesn't exactly make it easier to handle. ^^

Hmm, I'll have to look into it when I'm at home, could make a little js-page for it.

+1 bonus beer for trying to help!!!

I would like an official fix by Eugen pronto though.
Keymapping didn't get a lot of thought (did it get any?)

Can't even find the keys without leaving the game... :|
