Dawn of War Codex

Hey so I recently downloaded Elite mod (kudos to Caeltos and the team who put it together its absolutely FANTASTIC) and I wanted to get into it again but was troubled by the terrible default key bindings. I used to have a custom key binding similar to the one done by Jynks here: http://www.gamereplays.org/community/in ... pic=753347
but unfortunately the drop box link does not work. I was hoping maybe someone here still has the file he made? or can direct me to proper editing of the keydefaults.lua? I tried editing it and got was far as making the camera W A S D respectively but the keys conflict with other abilities such as Q is orks WAAAAAHGH or W is Aim'n wot's dat? ability. I will map them to something like 1 on the keyboard or 2 and it just stays as Q or W when I go to test it in game. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area. Hope you guys can help me! Thanks for reading.

When you say proper editing of the keydefaults, what do you mean exactly? That the hotkeys don't seem to be working when you start up the game? Or which lines define which ability? Relic got pretty lazy at some point and didn't add custom hotkeys for a bunch of abilities and upgrades, so some of them overlap.

By the way, you may want to hold off on fully editing the keys for now. There are a bunch of new bind-able hotkeys in the upcoming patch that will make a lot of things easier to find and edit, and it will overwrite the current keydefaults file.

I'll try to help you figure out how it works now, though, with whatever you're having trouble with.

hey thanks for the reply. When I said proper editing of the lua file I meant like I really don't know the full extent of how the ability mapping works hence me mapping the keys and they were still default. I found my problem though it was grid key mapping that overrides any of the key mapping that I did so I fixed my problem. What are you guys planning for the next patch as far as key bindings that you mentioned?

So you had your in game keys set to grid and you were editing the non-grid keys?

A lot of new key bindings. Grey Knights will have their own fully customizable hotkeys, pretty much all of the units and abilities new in Elite will have their own, and some others that Relic just seemed to skip over for some reason.

There were also a lot of things that weren't labeled which will be labeled now to make them easier to find.
