Grog, does that actually work? When I tried to mod the WASD, Shift and Space keys, they still did their original function (moving the camera) as well as the one I assigned. So if I hit space which I had assigned to halt, my regiment would halt, but the camera would move up.

Or maybe it's not noticeable when you use it for "go to me" since the camera moves anyway, and moving up a little after it arrives doesn't matter.

I've just been modding my keyboards file, nicking ideas from your GCM one, Garnier, and I am very pleased with the results. Thankyou!

I also did what con20or suggested, but haven't used the spacebar or WASD keys. I've used other keys instead.

Does anyone know the Function / command to get artillery to ignore the enemy? On RebBugler's toolbar, there is a button for infantry to attack march but there is not one for artillery. I really want a way of telling artillery to move where I want them to, without TCing them.

I use Aattackmarch in the Couriers&Maps mod for the artillery too. Remember to use the no orders command first. Since several orders need to be given in rapid succession, it's far easier to use the courier screen to move the artillery.

What movement by couriers games need most is a way to turn off the return spam courier messages you get each time you give a unit an order.

It felt like I got more of them last night than in my usual HITS & Courier games. Can't think of a good reason though, so probably my imagination.

The silver lining is that, when you get one of these, you know that the 'facing' arrow will now be showing and you can have a look and change the facing (or location) if needed.

I just assigned the Space bar for the 'go to me', no changes to the WASD keys.

Yes, I did notice the camera jump up using the space bar but since I play HITS set at 2M then it is hardly noticable. In fact the 'standing on my stirrups' effect helps a bit :)

BTW Really enjoyed the GCM/HITS game last night. Excellent work.
