Ok iv tried Step 2 as listed on the opening post (All i want is to change Attack = A from grid key)

But when i use this MPQ editor and follow the steps i dont see Hotkey.txt file. Below is all i can see;


patch.SC2Archive\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\UI\fonts\
patch.SC2Archive\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\UI\flash\
patch.SC2Archive\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\UI\layouts\
patch.SC2Archive\Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\UI\fontstyles.SC2Style

I really am not too confident when it comes to doing this kind of stuff. Will anyone be so kind as to change the file for me? I use GRID (right handed), but want attack = A, that is all. and finally can u tell me where to put the file and what to call it exactly?

Thanks guys, hopefully someone can help

I am currently trying to create a custom hotkey layout that is very unorthodox.

I want to use Control+S for assigning a control group, but it always toggles sound, even though I remapped Toggle Sound to Control+P (which is working fine). I didn't find any other Control+S entries in any of the GameHotkeys.txt files.

Any ideas as to what could be going wrong here?

Small bug: It doesn't work on windows medium font (125%). default is 100%, but many people increase it when they use big resolutions. The 'load/save to mpq' buttons disappear on this font size.

on win 7 (and prolly vista):
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display > change text scaling

I would suspect that if the Control+S sound toggling is defined elsewhere (such as GameStrings.txt), it would cause this exact issue and it is quite surprising how badly managed those files are.

But otherwise, no, I don't see what could be the problem :\

ok when I open sc2tools and i hit open mpq I check my hotkeys that i previously set and they are fine . but then I click on UI changer and the window gets a little smaller and when i click i.e. warpgate or anyother option I can change the hotkey "grey" .

But I did manage to change them using MPQeditor after watching the video on the first page

There is a line in GameHotkeys.txt that looks suspect

UI/Sound_Hotkey=S

I searched for control+s in all the *.txt files in patch-enGB.SC2Archive but couldn't find anything. I suspect it's hardcoded.

did you check the files in patch.SC2Archive as well?

and by the way, there is nothing "hardcoded" in SC2, except inside executables => all the content is inside common filetypes, such as .swf, .dds, .xml (and of course .txt)
