Custom commands and key binding fix
- Frequently used commands can be streamlined by binding them to a specific key.

|
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Rise Of The Triad\ROTTGame\Config\ROTTGame.ini
- Look for the
[ROTTGame.ROTTPlayerInput] section.
- Complex commands can be created in file
ROTTInput.ini section [Engine.PlayerInput] and then bound to a key in ROTTGame.ini file.
Examples:
Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="Exit",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Bindings=(Name="NumPadThree",Command="MoveForward",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

- Game does not allow players to bind special keys (num keys, page up, down etc.) to commands.
- See Custom commands and key binding fix section for a fix.
