Rake Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I need some help, ASAP. I'm stuck at the beach (GF's idea of a good vacation... me, I'd give a testicle to be on a river in Idaho, Montana or Wyoming ) with just my laptop & no mouse to move around with. So, I'm forced to use hotkeys (or this damnable touchpad :mad: ) as my interface. Unfortunately, I'm so used to the alternate hotkeys that I can't find my way around with the default keys. I've been into the game files, but I can't find the hotkey file. In my CMBN file, there's a text file in the DATA folder, but I don't see a similar file in CMFI. How do I load the alternative file??? MANY, many, thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Some of the files have been moved around to your "My Documents" folder due to Windows 8 or whatever, that's probably where it is now. However, there's no need as you can now edit the hotkeys from within the options menu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The new 'Fortress Italy' folder in your 'Documents' (or 'My Documents') folder has a 'User Data' folder. You'll find the hotkeys.txt file in there. You can also now edit the hotkeys in the Options menu - that little 'controls' button at the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gpig Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Holy crap! I didn't realize that. Options menu now gives you hotkey editing ability? Niiice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryCMBB Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hello: For CMBN I have set up the Hotkeys file the way I like it. Can I just copy this over for CMFI and it will work. IOW, there are no architectural changes relating to hotkeys (Other than the Options menu ability)? I realize I can use the menu to customize hotkeys buy I would like to take care of a bunch at once with the file. Thanks, Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryCMBB Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hello: I think I figured it out. The hotkeys files in CMBN and CMFI seem compatible. I just need to add entries for "target armor arc" and "target briefly" to the CMFI file. Does that seem right? Thanks, Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can I just copy this over for CMFI and... Really, instead of figuring out the various permutations involved in conversion from CMBN it seems easier and quicker to simply change them in the editor. You don't even have to hunt down the txt document! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Nah, it's not easier from the editor, because that means consciously remembering which key is supposed to do what and laboriously settting it in the editor. Much better to be able to just copy over the file that has it set up the way we're used to... ... and for me this just involved renaming the hotkeys file to something else, and renaming althotkeys to hotkeys and eveything was sweet, 10 second job!

Fizou Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I found it a bit tricky to just replace the .txt file as you have to add the new entries. If you know the command keys by heart the ingame change is much easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
