If I wanted to map keys to my vertical hotbars (hotbars 1, 2 and 3) using, say, the existing maps on the horizontal hotbars, which files would I need to open and edit? I went to :\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard\VGUIAssets\Shells\DroxUI\Windo ws and found what I would assume to be the correct XML files, but again, since I'm not 100% sure, I dont want to change anything.

Thanks for your help and time, I do appreciate it!

You'll need to edit only the user.ini file, but you'll need to find the names of the hotbars by looking in the file that defines the vertical ones. See the details in the first post on this thread for what to look for and change.

Well, I for one am totally confused by the first post, haha.

I am having trouble getting my Numpad bar to work. I don't fully understand what Drox was saying to do in the first post, but I want my Numpad hotkeys to be set the same as the Numpad on my keyboard, I just don't know how to do it and make it work.

Anyone able to help? Just tell me what to put where or copy and paste some stuff, and that should be good. Thanks

I am trying to change the Hotbar Right Side in to the primary one. Since I use the default UI it should be easy, but somewhere along the way I seem to go wrong.

When I look in to VGUIHotkeys.xml, I find the "Hotbar Right Side" with the searchKey "hotkeys_rightv0". If I understood it correctly, I should just need to change the name in user.ini from

Aliases[39]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 m_wb",Alias="Hotkey01")
to
Aliases[39]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 hotkeys_rightv0",Alias="Hotkey01")

But this only seems make the primary bar hotkey bindings empty.
Any ideas?

I am interested in binding the following keys

u i o p
j k l ;
m , . /

shift +
u i o p
j k l ;
m , . /

alt +
u i o p
j k l ;
m , . /

ctrl +
u i o p
j k l ;
m , . /

Where can I find a list of the numeric key codes for these? If possible, a link with all numeric values for my entire keyboard would be nice.

I'm running into this same problem. In VG settings the G15 keys are layed out and bound as Drox's default setting from his Mod user.ini. The G15 is loaded with his G15 profile and matches all the key bindings in game, ie Ctrl+Alt+A~R.
Abilities I put into the G15 bar in game are clickable, activate if I use the keyboard combination Ctrl+Alt+letter. However the G15 keys do not activate the slots. If I map any of the keyboard keys to my G15 keys, they depress and activate the function fine. IE "M" to G13 will open the map.If I map "M" to the G13 key binding in game/settings and depress the G13 key it activates the G13 hotbar keyslot. So it appears to be some incompatability of the G15 and VG to pass on Ctrl+Alt key strings. Testing the profile within the G15 profile manager shoes it presses G13, Ctrl, Alt, M. Depresses M, Alt, Ctrl, G13. So the G15 thinks it is/is sending the string Ctrl+alt+M to the game.
I'm running Windows Vista 64 Ultimate. Ive tried using the Logitech released software lgks104_x64.exe as well as the Newest Beta software from Logitech,LGPS201Multi64.exe. Same results from either.
Note to G15 users, the beta software is located here. Logitech's Wingman Site
I don't know where my G15 is going wonky, and don't belive it's the UI or the G15's fault. I'm more inclined to blame Vista, as I had no troubles with the G!5 and DroxUI while running XP. any help would be greatly appreciated tho.

Thank you, your UI is amazing ,and this post was exactly what I needed to make the few changes that I wanted.

After reading, I am confused with the 3x4 hotbars. I want to map '1', '2', etc to the 3x4 hotbar, slot 1. I want my first 3x4 hotbar to be my main hotbar. I tried changing it, but the game doesn't load, so obviously I am doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me how to do the first one or give me some hints? Thanks.

Heres what i'm trying:
Bindings[156]=(Key=49,Ctrl=True,Alt=True,Shift=False,Command="3 x4Bar1R1K1") Aliases[159]=(Command="SGOUI HOTKEY 1 wb_3x4_1_r1",Alias="3x4Bar1R1K1")

Howdy, Stelknecht here from Saradon.
I had to discontinue use of Celesta due to lack of support for GU4, so I converted to the DroxUI which works really well to simulate the face of the interface I wanted. I like the centerbottom minimap, keybanks left and right of it, and the chatboxes on the outside left and right, which is easy to do with Drox (Thanks drox!)

I'm also a gadget junkie, and am planning on purchasing the N52TE or the Saitek Cyborg Commander for use as a lefthand keypad. I totally dig the idea of the specific button setup for the keypad, the way drox has it set up for the N52, but I was wondering if I'll be able to directly bind the Cyborg the same way. I don't see any .. uh what the hell were they called, "windows identifiers" WindowBank searchKey for writing the aliases for a Cyborg. Would they be hard to add, or figure out?

This will affect my purchase as I'm mostly interested in a keypad for Vanguard gaming and want to be able to bind it directly.

Thanks for any feedback, information or ideas.
STEL!
