Keyboard Mod

Post by born2see »

I'm working on a mod to use only the keyboard and not the Numpad for those of us who don't have one. Can someone confirm for me that the game engine will not use the keyboard.csv in the Logistics folder of a mod? I've tested this but as a novice modder I want to make sure it's not just me. I don't see it in one of the moddable .csv files in the SDK. My forehead is bloody enough from banging my head against the proverbial wall. :(

As far as I know, they are totally independent from each other. A specialty keyboard layout for laptops or keyboards without the num pad should be a worthwhile project, good luck, and toughen up that head...ya gotta be hard headed to enter the mod designer world. :side:

I have another question (of course). I see three commands Combat Group, Move Group, and Orders Group which I can't find documented anywhere. Looked in the game manual, SDK docs and searched the forum posts. Can someone enlighten me as to what these commands do?

Thanks

Those are not commands, they are tiers that reveal the 3 layers of toolbar commands.
