Problem re-mapping keys

Postby Gabriel [ITA] » Fri 17 Apr, 2015 7:22 am

Hi,

is the first time I write in a forum, so I hope not to deviate from the regulation and I hope this is the correct section for the following:

I noticed that, with the update of the elite version 2.3.1, the mapping (which in the past I've changed and I've always used a custom mapping) has been reset. I tried to remap it again, changing the file again Keydefault, but that method does not work anymore.

Someone ran into the same problem and knows how to fix? I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance. :)

Open the folder C:\Users\<name>\Documents\my games\Dawn of War II - Retribution\Settings

and you'll see a file called '_keydefaults.lua'. Paste your keydefaults.lua file in this folder and delete the _keydefaults.lua file and it should work. Hope that helps.

Hello,

I have some issues with keys remapping. I only changed the repair that is standard on P to Y and the Plague champion grenade from L to G.
But when I got into the game the raptors didn`t had any hotkeys attached for the recruiting process and the jump ability was blank as well.

Are there any issues with elite mode and key remapping? issues that involve the new units?

After remapping hotkeys I found myself unable to cancel construction of nodes\gens\turrets, "cancel construction" command is not working. Is there a solution to this problem?

It's possible you deleted a comma from one of the lines or something. If the formatting isn't kept consistent in the file, all of your hotkeys can disappear.

Hotkeys for squad selection, attack ground, attack-move, stance, force melee, halt.

I even deleted keydefaults.lua to test, and all hotkeys returned to normal, but I am still unable to cancel construction with the hotkey (i think i'll need to check game cache or re-install mod/game in order to fully invert setting back to original).

Googled a bit, there are a couple of topics about this problem dating back to 2011, but they are unresolved.

I have started using the grid layout and this fixed my issue.
