Space bar to end turn?

[keirathi]

I bought Civ5 not long after it released and got heavily ingrained into using thee old Simple Space Bar Mod (Probably because of Civ4 ) that allowed you to end your turn with spacebar instead of only being able to use Enter.

Sadly, after not playing for over a year but picking up G&K recently, there doesn't appear to be a similar mod available in the Workshop.

After reading around a bit, I found the keybindings file (CIV5Controls.xml), and the entries for ending turn with Enter (and the alternate binding of Ctrl+Spacebar).

When I tried to take out the Ctrl requirement, though, it doesn't work. Hitting spacebar doesn't do anything, and Ctrl+Space still works like its supposed to.

<Row>
	<Type>CONTROL_ENDTURN_ALT</Type>
	<Description>TXT_KEY_ACTION_ENDTURN</Description>
	<Help>TXT_KEY_ACTION_ENDTURN_HELP</Help>
	<DisabledHelp/>
	<HotKey>KB_SPACE</HotKey>
	<AltDown>0</AltDown>
	<ShiftDown>0</ShiftDown>
	[B]<CtrlDown>0</CtrlDown>[/B]
	<HotKeyPriority>0</HotKeyPriority>
	<HotKeyAlt/>
	<AltDownAlt>0</AltDownAlt>
	<ShiftDownAlt>0</ShiftDownAlt>
	<CtrlDownAlt>0</CtrlDownAlt>
	<HotKeyPriorityAlt>0</HotKeyPriorityAlt>
</Row>

You can see, all I changed was the 1 to a 0, but it still doesn't work and keeps the Ctrl requirement.

Is there any way to actually do this? At least I found out about ctrl+spacebar, which is still more convenient than Enter, but I would really like to be able to change it


Edit: And on a completely unrelated note (didn't want to open a new thread elsewhere though), is there any fix for the repeated CTD's that happen even without any mods? It doesn't seem like I can ever go for more than 80-100 turns without at least one crash

There is already an assignment for "just space" - MISSION_SKIP in CIV5Missions.xml, try making that one need Ctrl

Thanks for the answer. That actually wasn't the problem though. In another thread, you said that there are two seperate sets of XML files for vanilla and G&K. I didn't realize that when I posted this, so I was editting the CIV5Controls for vanilla rather than the expansion. Works like expected, now. I'm just a dufus

Thanks again!

If we had a £/$/€ (or whatever your local currency is) for everytime we've all done that, I suspected we'd all be quite rich by now
