Demonasius 1 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello all, Was just curious if there was anyway to re-bind the Alt key for showing loot or if maybe there is some hidden always show loot option I'm missing. Reason I ask is because I use the right side of my keyboard and having to reach over to use the Left Alt is tough. Just curious if anyone found a way to change this (mod or not). Thanks for any assistance. 1 Link to comment

Demonasius 1 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info. I tried it but it didn't work, in fact odd but that keybind didn't seem to do anything in game when I bound it to another key, the ALT key I think is actually a different value in Sacred. If you look in the keycodes.txt file in the "Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold\scripts\client" folder it lists the following for the ALT key -- preliminary keycodes for sacred2 Key = { CTRL = 1024, ALT = 2048, SHIFT = 4096, I searched high and low in Options.txt for 2048 and wasn't able to find it. Which I'm kind of wondering if it may be hard coded and cannot be changed. Edited January 23, 2017 by Demonasius Link to comment

Zallk 24 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I actually always wanted the option to change this particular key binding as well. Too bad we still don't have any easy workaround to change alt to another key for this. I guess there's Auto Hotkey to deal with it, but I really never wanted to have to install that to change just one key binding (albeit a very important one). Link to comment
Zallk 24 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Ah well, finally installed Autohotkey. I only run it right before starting Sacred 2, then shut it back down after I'm done playing. Easy enough. If anyone else installs Autohotkey for this, just make a script in notepad and name it Sacred2Alt.ahk and leave it on your desktop. Then just open the file before starting Sacred 2 and it will work if you have Autohotkey installed. Put only this in the script: ; AutoHotkey ; swap alt and Lshift Lshift::Alt Alt::Lshift I couldn't find any other way to do this, but at least this only has to run while you're in game.

Zallk 24 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Decided I wanted to keep normal shift functionality for follower orders and things, so went with F instead since I don't need to type that letter: ; AutoHotkey ; swap alt and f f::Alt Alt::f Link to comment
