couriers and maps has those I think - just do the same, copy the command into your keyboard.csv.

moveformfwd0
moveformfwd1
moveformfwd:300:0
moveformfwd:300:1
movefwd:300:0
movefwd:300:1
wheelright:45
wheelleft:45


The first four are for full formation moves, the next two are single unit moves...1 at the end is to cover. Use the wheel commands with any last number, er, up to 359...for instance, 180 will give you an about face. All numbers for distance are fully editable. I just grabbed these off my toolbar and edited slightly for show.

I agree this is important - and a staggered courier menu has been requested

This is a good interim workaround until we can come up with a permanent solution. Players that don't mind their toolbar looking a little funny can actually create a quick mod. Grab the SDK, edit the OOBS as con20or has shown, and place them in Your Mod Name\OOBS\

Thanks LP,

If there is enough interest in this - myself and 5 or 6 volunteers could grab a few OOB's each and do it in an hour or so.

Thanks, RB. So, if I want to move myself forward 20 yards I need:
movefwd:20:0

Assuming this is right, is there one for moving back?

@con20or. I don't know which file to look in within MTG's mod for these commands. Any pointers very gratefully received...

Yeah, any distance can be used. Wheel 180 for backward mvts.

Wheel 180 for backward mvts.

That's what I want to avoid. I want my horse to be able to back up 20 yards without having to wheel 180, forward 20, wheel 180 again. :sick:

movebwd:20:0 ????

I am very happy with my two new keyboard commands: one that selects me, the other that advances 20 yards. I would just love to complement the second command with a reverse gear...

I think it would be great if there were movement keys for the commander in HITS. All too often, I'll be clicking my little commander all over the battlefield, and then accidently order a unit somewhere when I am actually trying to move myself. I think using the arrow keys or something to move the commander around would make life a lot easier, as well as freeing valuable clicking time.

Like you, Hancock, I oftentimes send a unit where I wanted to move myself. I also would like to be able to just move around using movement keys, as Michael Slaunwhite suggested months ago. I've now done what con20or and RB suggested and I now have one key that selects ME and another that moves the selected unit (eg, ME) forward 20 yards. Just need reverse to complete the set ...

Don't have time to look into this properly right now - but be careful with reverse orders, you dont want fallback morale penalties being applied everytime you want to change view.


'A what a beautiful view',

'Oh look over there',

- turns around and sees army routing from the field.

ME 'should' be easy - I aint much of a modder, but look what command 'go to me' executes in the .csv - then add a new key command to your keyboard list and add that command as the executable.

Edit - enter 'goto' in the keyboard.csv opposite 'space' where it currently says 'moveup'. That should do it.

Edit 2 : obviously you wont be able to use 'space' now to move the camera up any more - so plan ahead

Works a treat. Thank you Con20or.
