WASD Camera unlock

  • Quote

Post by EAGLEMUT »

What does this mod do?
  • Unlocks ability to freely use WASD (or other keys) for camera movement.
  • You can still set up camera hotkeys in the same way as before, in the "Game World Hotkeys" section, except now they will work regardless of conflicts with other hotkeys.
    Note that if you have other actions assigned to the same hotkeys, both will execute.
This mod is aimed pretty much solely at casual players who don't use hotkeys to find/train units, but instead wish to use WASD keys to move the camera. Assigning those hotkeys is kind of bugged in the unmodded game, because they will not respond properly unless the keys are manually unassigned from all other hotkey sections. I've seen so many requests to fix this (mostly by new players coming from other games), that I've decided to take a look and implement a solution.

How do you install the mod?
From the main game menu go Tools -> Mods -> Browse Mods -> "WASD Camera unlock" -> Subscribe.
This mod requires a game restart after installation.

Waiting for the time where, despite this mod working, it will break something else in the game somewhere down the line.

Ah, I see you've installed mods before!
