binding a key in SH
 

Well, i'm playing on the Num pad, had no problem in MoHaa, but Spearhead doesn't detect the 5 key (to go backwards) in the main control options. I tried to do it in the console with no results so far, i was wondering if someone had the magical solution as i 'm really not into the wasd format.
Thanx

Try setting your keyboard lay-out to "English (US)" before running Spearhead. You'll have to type in qwerty though, but that should solve your problem...

I have the exact same problem. In MOHAA original it works perfectly, but in Spearehead: No go.

Here's the case (some examples):

key; MOHAA recognition; Spearhead recognition

numpad 7; numpad 7; Home
numpad 5; numpad 5; no recognition
numpad 8; numpad 8; arrow up
numpad 6; numpad 6; arrow right
numpad 9; numpad 9; PgUp

Why is this is a problem? I used the numpad in MOHAA as follows: 7=lean left; 8=move forward; 9=lean right; 4=move left; 5=move backward; 6=move right. I used the Insert/Home/PgUp/Delete/End/PgDwn/Keypad Enter/Keypad + for things such as use/jump/duck/drop weapon etc.

But now, in Spearhead, keypad 9 is also PgUp. So I 'lost' some keys right?

Changing the lay-out doesn't work, obviously, because in MOHAA it's still as it's supposed to be... Furthermore, I didn't change anything since I installed MOHAA, same Windows XP installation, same keyboard, same lay-out (US-International).

My guess is the changed something in Spearhead. I know there are more people with this problem, and the same amount of people lacking a proper solution. Who can help?

I had that problem too, and changing my keyboard settings did the trick...

Hmm, I gave it another try, to be on the safe side. I switched from United States-International to US. Still the same...

yeh exactly what i noticed. I haven't tried to change the keyboard config(anyone can tell me where u do it cry: ) although typing in QWERTY would be tedious. Anyway maybe we could report that to EA and it's could appear in a future patch, i'm sure it's a small thing to do.

how it works...
 

I've been watching this thread from afar, but only recently I had the time to fix my binds in MoHAA:SH

1. The language fix mentioned above doesn't work, at least not for me.

2. I use my numpad (keypad) for one-key voice binds. The numpad offers 17 keys so it's really enough and you don't have to rely on Roger "suxxor" Wilco eek:

3. The voice commands attribution have changed between MoHAA and SH. For instance in MoHAA you used to type 3 and 8 to reach "thanks" now in SH you type 4 and 7 !!

4. MOST IMPORTANTLY : The designation of the keys in SH has changed. In particular, the "NUMLOCK" and "5" are no longer recognised by SH ! so you get only 15 of the 17 keys available. Of these 15, some have now different names, like "*" (MoHAA) changed into "KP_STAR" (SH) or even more puzzling, "KP_SLASH" (i.e. forward slash) into "-" ! Go figure oOo:


Below are my voice key binds...

for MoHAA:

bind KP_NUMLOCK "instamsg_main"
bind KP_SLASH yes
bind * no
bind KP_DEL sniper
bind KP_INS grenade
bind KP_MINUS coverme
bind KP_PLUS coveru
bind KP_ENTER regroup
bind KP_5 aclear
bind KP_HOME fallback
bind KP_UPARROW hold
bind KP_LEFTARROW followme
bind KP_RIGHTARROW enemy
bind KP_DOWNARROW takept
bind KP_PGUP movein
bind KP_PGDN help
bind KP_END thanks
alias movein "say *11"
alias fallback "say *12"
alias hold "say *15"
alias regroup "say *17"
alias coverme "say *21"
alias coveru "say *22"
alias followme "say *23"
alias takept "say *24"
alias help "say *26"
alias yes "say *31"
alias no "say *32"
alias enemy "say *33"
alias sniper "say *34"
alias grenade "say *35"
alias aclear "say *36"
alias thanks "say *38"
============================

and for Spearhead:

bind m "instamsg_main"
bind PGUP movein
bind HOME fallback
bind UPARROW holdpos
bind KP_MINUS coverme
bind KP_PLUS coveru
bind LEFTARROW followme
bind PGDN help
bind - yes
bind KP_STAR no
bind RIGHTARROW enemy
bind DEL sniper
bind INS grenade
bind ENTER aclear
bind END thanks
bind DOWNARROW careful
alias movein "say *21"
alias fallback "say *22"
alias holdpos "say *25"
alias coverme "say *31"
alias coveru "say *32"
alias followme "say *33"
alias help "say *35"
alias yes "say *41"
alias no "say *42"
alias enemy "say *43"
alias sniper "say *44"
alias grenade "say *45"
alias aclear "say *46"
alias thanks "say *47"
alias careful "say *55"
