Keypad

Post by born2see »

For those of us who have laptops I might suggest a controls option where you can map keys differently than the default ones. I bring this up because there are certain commands which require a Keypad and many laptops (including mine) do not have one. Plus there are some commands which don't have corresponding buttons. I know I can go into the keyboard.csv file and make the changes but not everyone may be comfortable doing that. Besides you're asking someone to modify a basic game file.

For example you could go into the keyboard.csv file and change the "Advance to a Defensive Position" from NUMPAD7 to LBRACE and you could also change "Advance All to a Defensive Position" from NUMPAD8 to RBRACE but of course "that would be wrong" to quote Richard Nixon. :evil:

PS: Sounds like a potential mod to me. I'm sure it's been done or talked about. I'm batting a thousand when it come to suggesting mods which have already been done. ;)

PSS: I really did do a search before I posted this...
