Saving settings Increase the size of your Attachments

One thing that has always been a big pain in the butt for me is CTP2 settings. Specifically, I like to have ctrl-S and ctrl-L trigger the standard save, rather than quick save; the c key center the map on the active unit; and the map grid lines always be turned on by default in new games.

Do I have to alter the source code to do this, or can I just go into some settings files for this?

Will the settings be overwritten any time I install an updated version?

Am I just clueless and have not found the proper way to save these settings permanently?

I was thinking that, were I coding a game, I would make it possible for users to bring up a settings dialog and make permanent settings changes to how the game operates overall, but this doesn't happen with CTP2, either the Activision or Apolyton versions. Both require me to turn the map grid on then save the game, and both require me to change my keyboard settings every time I load the game, before I load a save file.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

What about the keyboard options? You reach it from the options menu. Or by typing K. (Capital k)

I think you might have to look in the text files in default/gamedata and so a search for a keymap

Found keymap.txt, in

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_data\default\uidata

There was also userkeymap.txt in

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp

however, it was not being used, because the file contained my key map settings and they were not being loaded, just the default ones.

It was nice of Activision put the userkeymap.txt file in, too bad it was never implemented fully.
