modding keybinds

[Abremms]

thgis might be a stupid question, but is it possible to change the keybinds? i really want to switch the scroll keys from the arrows to WASD.

Look in InGame.lua, WorldView.lua, and CityView.lua

thanks for the tip, but no joy.

i found where the scrolling keybinds are, in WorldView.lua, and while changing them disables scrolling with the arrows, i can't seem to get other keys to work. I'm a complete noob at .lua though. its coded like this:

Spoiler :

DefaultMessageHandler[KeyEvents.KeyDown] =
function( wParam, lParam )
if ( wParam == Keys.VK_LEFT ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraStopMovingRight();
Events.SerialEventCameraStartMovingLeft();
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_RIGHT ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraStopMovingLeft();
Events.SerialEventCameraStartMovingRight();
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_UP ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraStopMovingBack();
Events.SerialEventCameraStartMovingForward();
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_DOWN ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraStopMovingForward();
Events.SerialEventCameraStartMovingBack();
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_NEXT or wParam == Keys.VK_OEM_MINUS ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraOut( Vector2(0,0) );
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_PRIOR or wParam == Keys.VK_OEM_PLUS ) then
Events.SerialEventCameraIn( Vector2(0,0) );
return true;
elseif ( wParam == Keys.VK_ESCAPE and InStrategicView() ) then
ToggleStrategicView();
return true;
end
end

I tried changing the Keys.VK_LEFT to Keys.VK_A, i also tried simply KEY_A, but my knowledge of LUA is limited to a few hours asking Google the wrong questions.

i get the impression that its linked so a master keybind list elsewhere that i cannot find. its not in any of the LUA or XML files unless i missed something.

oh wells.

you should use notepad++ and search the civ directly for the keybinds your are looking for. Its search function is about 1000 times better than windows.

i was using notepad++, i just went through the LUA files one by one, didn;t know you could mass search a directory >.<

hell yes you can, its freakin awesome! You can find anything you need so much faster that way.
