I've been searching for something like this around, but it seems most resort to the FOSE, and frankly I'm havign a hard time understanding it.

basically, what I'm looking for is a way (I was thinking editing an ini file or something), to make it so I can use leters instead of the default number for hotkeying items. For example, instead of using, say, "5" to apply a stimpack, I would like to use "F". Or press "Alt" and have my character equip mines, for example.

Is this doable beyond FOSE. And if not, is there a more comprehensive way for someone like, with no modding experience whatsoever, to make it possible??

And for that matter, is there a mod which allows this? I've been checking the nexus, but no luck so far...


THX in advance.

No it's not. By default, only the 1-8 keys can be used as hotkeys. The only way around this is to use FOSE. You really should try and figure out how to make it work, alot of the best mods use it.

ok, I'm willing to learn, but is there a guide or something like that? all I found was a reference guide for commands. but no guide as to how to use them...

Well, you'll have to make a mod that has a script that does what you want. My advice is that you find another mod that does something similar, and try to learn how it's done. The http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8112 might be a place to start, just off the top of my head.

I've written a tutorial aimed at introducing people to Fallout 3's scripting language, if you're interested in learning - http://www.cipscis.com/fallout/tutorials/beginners.aspx.

When detecting keypresses, I usually use code like this (using the "N" key as an example):

int bIsNPressedBegin GameMode	if bIsNPressed != IsKeyPressed 49 ; N		set bIsNPressed to IsKeyPressed 49 ; N		if bIsNPressed			; Code placed here will run when N is pressed		else			; Code placed here will run when N is released		endif	endifEnd

Thanks!, I'll try both both the tutorial, and then I'll check the Grenade mod. I was going to try that Autohotkey software, but I'd rather first try something more directly related to Fallout3..
