I'm providing this information for users who are not familiar with the G-Hotkey program - to help get you started I am providing a detailed description
for using it with Crysis Warhead. Each section is broken out based on the Notes feature of G-Hotkey so you can easily see how this is setup.
First I created a new profile titled: Crysis Warhead and clicked on the Add Name to add it to the Current game
list:. Next select Crysis Warhead with your mouse and click on the Edit button.
For this first screen you will need to set a key for the Deactivate Hotkeys Key:. For this example I have chosen the key F12.
Next a Location needs to be specified where the .lnk file is located for Crysis Warhead. For this game
however I need load it by right-clicking on the icon and selecting PlayDX10 (64-bit), so for this game I will want to select the
nogame.lnk file. If you click on the icon of the little document you can select this file. You can find the nogame.lnk file
on your computer usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\G-Hotkey\nogame.lnk. In the Select File dialog that is now open select the
Desktop icon in the Look in: pull down box and select the nogame link file.
Next I am going to change the Load Time (secs): interval to 25 seconds since it takes about this much time for the game to
load and initialize the game engine.
I don't like the dialog that displays: G-Hotkey is no longer active so I am going to check the Surpress Hotkeys
Deactivation check box.
To enable and disable the functions of G-Hotkey while I'm in the game I'm going to set the On/Off Hotkeys Key: to Scroll
Lock.
I'm going to set the Priority: level to High.
Here is the section of the Notes for this game profile based on my notes above:
Quote:
Title: Crysis Warhead; Load Time (secs): 25;
Deactivate Hotkeys Key: F12;
Location: ;
Surpress Hotkeys Deactivation: 1; Global Hotkeys: ;
On/Off Hotkeys Key: Scroll Lock; Priority: High;
Let's now move to the next tab at the top labeled Remap.
For Remap 1 I have set the Remap Key: to Enter and the To: key to U/u. I
also have checked the box Key Should Remain Depressed. In the Crysis Warhead game I have set the U key so it is binded to the
sprint/run movement. Now when I press the Enter key in the game the U key will remain held down until I press the
Enter key again. Also I have set the Key Delay (ms): to 1 for the remap so it executes fast and
holds/releases the U key properly. This is really nice so you can easily switch between sprint/run and the normal walk mode without having to
hold down manually the key for sprint/run.
Here is the section of the Notes for this game profile based on my notes above:
Quote:
Remap Key: Enter; To: U/u;
Key Should Remain Depressed: 1; Rapid Fire: ; Key Delay (ms): 1;
Now exit the G-Hotkey Editor and save your changes. This will bring you back to the main G-Hotkey screen. Select
Crysis Warhead and click on the Run button to load the Crysis Warhead game.
You should now see before the game loads in your taskbar a green keyboard icon. This indicates that G-Hotkey is running (although
G-Hotkey functions will not operate until 25 seconds). If you move your mouse pointer over this icon you will see the
following pop-up (before 25 seconds): Please wait 25 seconds while G-Hotkey initializes. You will want to hurry though at this point and
immediately load Crysis Warhead by right-clicking on the icon and selecting PlayDX10 (64-bit) or other option of your preference.
Note: If you check the Global Hotkeyscheck box then all the hotkeys and macros in G-Hotkey will work in any application not just the
Crysis Warhead game and you can start the hotkeys and macros before the game even initializes - be careful with this though as you can accidentally execute a
macro or remapped key in any application.
I hope this helps get you started with using G-Hotkey in the game and the different ways in which it can be used.
