Edit Hotkeys and save in Map: Move, Patrol, Build, Select

[CaptainHero]

Hey

I would like to edit the Hotkeys of the following Commands:
Move, Patrol, Rally, Cancel etc

and save them in the map.
Is that possible?

I know you can change their position:

but i would like to save their hotkeys aswell.

Cheers thanks in advance

PS: i installed UMSE but i cant find their Editor fields there..

Unfortunately you can't make custom keys for the basic actions of warcraft3 (Attack, Move, Patrol, RallyP, Cancel, Hold, Stop...) , you can just change them for only your warcraft (in some file CustomKeys.txt afair, I believe you know since you know how to change actions' icons).

I think you can.. I remember having a .txt file named keyBinds.txt or something.

Import the customkeys.txt into your map, setup the path correctly so it overrides the customkeys file and see if it works?

Sadly it cannot be overridden because of how Warcraft's engine deals with some unique files such as the LoadBar, they are by default and will always stay like that. I tried overriding them, still no chance.
Perhaps someone gets a different result or finds an other solution,

Well thanks for the info.
So I will just attach an edited CustomKeys.txt to my map with an instruction; saying were to copy it.

You can import a Units\CommandStrings.txt with changed hotkeys.

 

[CaptainHero]

well nope that doesn't seem to work.

You do mean to just add the line
"Hotkey=F"
just underneath the certain "[cmd...]" commands right?

Yes that should work. Did you import the file into the right path?

CommandFunc.txt imported in map with the path Units\CommandFunc.txt
- still doesn't seem to work..
Icons and Position can be changed though..
but not their Hotkey and Tooltip

As I said before : You CANNOT overwrite/override some local default files like that one is...

I dont really know what thread I did post this on, or if my post is removed, but let me clarify something...

YOU HAVE TO USE COMMANDSTRINGS.TXT AND NOT COMMANDFUNC.TXT!!!

Here is a link to a thead where I uploaded a map with imported hotkeys.
