Which "parameter label" to re-map "tilde" (show all players)?

Post by Filament »

Fellow Evoverse denizens...

I'm not new to keyboard mapping, but which page/label in controls has the "tilde" key for 'show all players?'

I've got a Dell wireless keyboard and it has what it calls an "agave" or something (this: ` symbol), that corresponds to the "tilde" at that location on the keyboard - that I want to remap.

I just need to know the "label" on one of the 3 'controls' pages I should be looking for. I haven't had any issues remapping anything on my X52 Pro HOTAS, BTW... :P

Thanks!

You can alternatively use the scroll lock key. Or use this option from the instructions to change the key:

- Some keyboards may not support the tilde key input for the status key. The scroll lock key can also be used and you can also customize the key. Create a text file in the game's folder (usually C:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary) with the filename statkey.txt and in the first line, enter the 'scancode' number of the key you want to use.

The scancodes you can use are available here: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... ancode.png

Thanks for the reply, Vice!

"Negative" on the Scroll Lock key though - unfortunately, this keyboard doesn't have that either! :(

I used notepad and created the text file in the folder directed.
Named, as directed. Are there other 'flags' that need to be added? Such as:
SCANCODE=41
in the statkey.txt file?

When I hit what would be to anyone else, the "tilde" key, I get ` in the display, so it's taking the key input. Is the "tilde" hard-coded, or what would be the LABEL within one of the 3 control-key pages to look for to substitute (if it's listed)? I get the impression that it might not be, but rather coded into the program.

Thanks for the assist!
