Dawn of War Codex

Hello there,

I have a problem with the grid keys in Elite mod. I have an "azerty" keyboard and used to play DoW2 in french.

However for Elite mod I put the game in english to be able to read the new/modified descriptions. Problem is that when the game is in english the grid key option is setup for a "qwerty" keyboard so the shortcuts are all over the place instead of being lined up for me.

I also tried the alt+shift option before launching the game but for some reason it stops working once I start DoW.

Maybe some of you have run into a similar problem ? Can I re-set the grid keys ?

you can. there is an ini file somewhere with all of the keys listed. depending on how it's setup you may be able to copy the french one, name it english, and have it work.

to be more precisely:
my documents \ my games \ Dawn of War II - Retribution \ Settings \ _keydefault.lua
you can change stuff here (using notepad for example) but make sure to save it as keydefault.lua (so without the _ ) or else it doesnt work (the _keydefaults.lua is generated automatically by the game once you close it thus being overwritten each time).

I just tried it and it worked fine. Thank you very much for the quick and precise answers !

Hmm maybe I should make a key bindings option U.I, after I've finished the selection screen?

that'd be very nice.
