R hotkey

[Zufub]

I want to assign key R as a hotkey to a skill but it is whole time linked to the move command. How can I change it?

 

[Bannar]

Go to WarcraftIII directory and find file 'CustomKeys.txt' - open it and change the hotkey for given command. Press ok and save changes.

Now, run your Warcraft3TFT and go to Options menu. Select 'Game' category and tick 'Custom hotkeys'. Done, enjoy.

Will it work only at one of my maps and for every who's going to play it?

 

[Chaosy]

just add your file in the desp and say all who use hot keys need this one

 

[Zufub]

Hmm it sounds complicated. What about hotkeys ZXCV? are they're used for something?

Hmm ZXCV are free at least for me. Will any1 have problems with hotkeys binded to ZXCV? (4 skills)

 

[Chaosy]

all spells have a hotkey so some player got some wont

Nope, they will work only for you and in everymap - after all it's your 'hotkey data'.

@Darkgrom why you complicate issue so much?

 

[Zufub]

I wanted to change it only for single map (multiplayer) not for whole game just for me lol

Why is R assigned to move? M is move in my Warcraft.

Omg My_Bean - not everyone here is from England (etc.), I have move hotkey as 'R' too (I'm from Poland). Although, I have customized most of them myself.
The same goes to GUI scripts, I have to translate everything from pl into eng.

@Zufub What do you mean with last sentence? Changing keys in CustomKeys.txt is applied only to you but it will work for all the maps you gonna play (so basically in every game FOR YOU key 'R' is move). Other players have their own hotkeys. It is clear now, or you still don't understand what I'm talking to you?

I'm not from England, I'm from South Africa

 

[Zufub]

Spinnaker so we're both from same country

All time I wanted to change on ONE of my multiplayer map that hotkey for EVERY1 who is going to play this, not just for me. Do u understand? I don't need it right now. The map is for Polish players (maybe translate it into English) and i just needed four hotkeys. Best fitting for me are QWER but I took ZXCV.

 

[Bannar]

There is no way to force other player to use 'your hotkeys' unfortunately.

Although remember that you can always do so with abilities hotkeys.

OMG D:
Over 9000 people can't play my map >.< (QWER hotkeys)

 

[Bannar]

They can, after customizing the file I've mentioned ealier. I wouldn't be good at dota (and in any other map) without changing hotkeys myself.

So OVER 9000 people have to change their hotkeys then

I never really knew people had to do this :/

Blizzard should've used the English hotkeys for all versions of wc3 to avoid this >.<

Nope, they just should have let language be changeable inside war3

Nah, Blizzard cares about efficiency and saving space so they decided not to add them :>

Oh the irony.

Extract CommandStrings.txt from War3xLocal.mpq\Units. Search for [CmdMove]. Apparently, it is directly the first one at the top. Change the value of field Hotkey. Save and import the modified file in your map under Units\CommandStrings.txt again. Of course, this will also apply all other data located in this file, along with changing the tooltips and other hotkeys of these standard abilities.

 

[Zufub]

Thanks WaterKnight but furter on please read whole topic. It isn't so large so it should not hurt you. I don't want to be rude but I wrote: I don't need it anymore :> Sorry.

 

[WaterKnight]

No, you did not (directly). But even if, it might help further users searching the forum or at least the ones that posted in this thread and seemed not to be aware of this possibility/deny it.

 

[Zufub]

Hmm u'r right.
