PLease allow cursor key controls for map scroll!

[spybaz]

The title says it. In your first patch, can you please, please, please allow me to assign map scroll to 'cursor' keys and 'Ctrl+Cursor' Keys to control unit members?

This should not be too hard as 'Ctrl+Cursor' keys to control unit members already exists. When I try to assign just cursor keys (no ctrl modifier) to map scroll it says that the keys are already assigned. They are not.

Every other RTS I play, I use cursor keys for map scrolling!

Why can I not do it here? Having to switch my hand position to scroll the map and then back again to control units is clunky and, quite frankly, horrible.

Otherwise, this game is fantastic, but for me, right now, it is a nightmare and horrible to play. Especially in MP, because of this clunky control system.

Thank you.

I'm not sure the first patch will make such improvements, but I think you can make a thread in the MODs section and ask the guys who are modding MOW to create such fix.

set the map scroll keys = the 'direct control' keys.
you can not do this using the gui, text edit the 'keys' file.

below i use ESDF (like WASD) to scroll the map AND 'direct control' my tanks/snipers.


{control_manual
}
{forward "KEY_E"
{single}
}
{backward "KEY_D"
{single}
}
{left "KEY_S"
{single}
}
{right "KEY_F"
{single}
.

{control_camera
{scroll_forward "KEY_E"
{single}
}
{scroll_backward "KEY_D"
{single}
}
{scroll_left "KEY_S"
{single}
}
{scroll_right "KEY_F"
{single}
