just tried this, it works but it has the problem that w is set to more functions in game like panzershreck, lmg upgrade etc

Well ye, haven't looked into it that far since I was just testing, but that's why I'm asking you guys to do some suggestions so I could give out some non bugged files

Hello guys,

I'm iAMcHETs(Known as RTz045) and I recently bought Company of Heroes 2(Played the beta) to code a tool so you guys can customize your own hotkeys. First of all, before I go any further in this, I'm new to the coding world, been learning straigth up for 3 - 4 months and this is basicly my second 'big' Project.

How am I planning to do this? Well basicly, everygame has a file where the keybindings are saved in, which I already found in Company of heroes 2, it's called Keydefaults.lua, extracted in the DATA.sga file. After reading a bit more about modding in company of heroes I've seen alot of people having problems with modifying the DATA.sga, same thing happend to me. The settings do change, but you'll get weird 'bugs', like something 'll be corrupted or whatever. My problem at the moment is that whenever I get into a game, my HUD seems to be there but not my actual game, for example: http://imgur.com/md4vJ2j

Trying to find a solution for this, which means I have to do some research why it's doing this, is it because of the SGA compiler?.. If I can't mange to fix this I'll most likely be stuck in my project, so I've been thinking about what else I could do and I came to the conclusion that I've 2 options,
1. I find a way to fix the problems with the data.sga,
2. I find a way to import it differently, so by not modifying the data.sga - and maybe I could make a "new" mod, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to play against each other, gotta do some research about that.

What if I fixed it?

I'll release the data.sga file on this forum with some modified settings(You may do some suggestions, so I can release more than 1), then I'll start coding a tool that gives you the option to modify your own hotkeys, after that I'll be looking into making a directx overlay, but that'll be hard work, because I'm not sure if VAC is going to detect it as a exploit, and I'm not even sure if I'm able to do that since we're probably going
to change the DATA.sga file.

I'll keep on updating this thread of the current status, I'm willing to finish this tool within 2 weeks, else if not I'll explain you guys why I didn't
manage to finish it(yet).



- If there are any experienced modders who have some helpfull information about the data.sga or something else you may add my steam: Colonel_luiheid

- Edit

Managed to fix the SGA file, it's working right now. I made one file with customized hotkeys, willing to make a few more just put some suggestions below! Make sure you read the readme.

Great guide!

I love strategics which makes you lose the first couple mins because you're doing something which gives your opponent the upper hand, but when you hit the point where you got the things you want man... I love that feeling.

Will give this one a try!

Hey first of all, I've only played the CoH2 beta for 10h atm, but this strat is working
well for me, so ye..

Your resource focus 'll be Munitions, so make sure you get atleast 1 asap.
You'll have a hard time till your sniper is out, but make sure it doesn't get killed
else it's probably a gg already..

so the BO:

GGSMG(Gren,Gren,Sniper,MG), get a bunker out and do the medic bunker tech. -> T2 -> PG,
PG/MG - (If he's blobbing inf, get another MG out to protect your self from the flanks,
else another PG, since he's teching which means he's getting his Armor out soon.) -> AT GUN -> Now you get to the point you where you need to stall the game till you get T3/T4.

You get T3 when the opponent is blobbing infantry, T4 when he isn't obviously

You don't need alot of Cap points to win the game, you should be happy with 3/4 Captured points with this strat, since it's going to be a pain in the ass till you get your T2 out, though the Sniper 'll help ya out(If well micro'd)Play aggresive with your first Gren, else it's 9/10 times going to be hard to cap what you need to cap.

Regards,
iAMcHETs.


There's a chance of me uploading some replays of this strat.

[EDIT]

Be carefull for the vehicle rush with flamers, happend to me a few times already that they took my sniper down. In CoH 1 there was only a Jeep which could hunt yours down, but you'd counter it with Mines which are expensive in CoH2, and you won't get them in time.

If you don't know what he's teching in the begin 'cause there's lack of infantry get an extra Gren out, which will give you the time to see what he's teching.
