Strange SP AI/Sprite behavior

Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

Advance, select regiment or gun, key 5

I plan to mod many of these keyboard commands to the toolbar, especially the advance functions...in fact I already have, just waiting for the official OK with the release of the SDK.

It looks like you do not have excel, usually these are easy to edit in excel. Here is an easy way to get what you want.

make a copy of this line:
Advance to Def,7,movefwd:300:1

right below it:
Advance to Def,7,movefwd:300:1
Advance to Def,7,movefwd:300:1

Now set your key you want for this:
Advance to Def,7,movefwd:300:1
Advance to Def,9,movefwd:300:1

Now set your yards:
Advance to Def,7,movefwd:300:1
Advance to Def,9,movefwd:10:1

Save the file, launch the game, and you're good to go!

Do you mean it's going to be hard coded into the game? Or am I going to have to continue jumping through hoops to change how the advance button works? For I am completely out of my element doing this stuff, but I'm so desparate I'll try anything short of going into a thermal meltdown highly toxic stage.

It is not hardcoded in the game and will remain moddable. Installing the game or patches will not overwrite the keyboard.csv file. There is a defaultkeys.csv file there that we will overwrite and is the set of our default keys :) This file is not used by the game, but there for reference.

If you tell me the yards/keys you want, I can whip it up very quickly for you.
