I'm pretty new to dfhack, and I just found out about keybindings.
I would like to activate the ones in dfhack.init-example, and I followed the instruction to drop the "-example" part of the filename.
When I open up dwarf fortress, however, it doe not use the keybindings in dfhack.init. I have to type in the "keybinding add" commands in order to use them.
dfhack.init is still described as an INIT-EXAMPLE file.
Could this be the problem?
Or does dfhack.init have to be in a specific place in the dwarf fortress files?
Thanks

"dfhack.init" has to be in the same location as "DwarfFortress.exe"

also the insides should look like this:

Code: [Select]

keybinding add Shift-P "lua hack\scripts\heritage.lua"
keybinding set Alt-X "die"
keybinding set Alt-G "quicksave"
keybinding set Ctrl-G "fastdwarf 1"
keybinding add Shift-Ctrl-Z@dwarfmode/Default "stocks show"
saddly I can only confirm that the middle 3 only work for me.

Everything looks okay.. But it still doesn't like it.

Do you have your file extensions hidden?

It's probably the fact that it's still described as an INIT-EXAMPLE file. If you're having trouble, just open it up with Notepad++, copy the contents into a new file and save it as dfhack.init (save as type All types (*.*) (that's not an emoticon.)

That will probably work. Also what Putnam said. Unhiding them will probably be easier.

Yep, that was it. It's up and running now.
Thanks!
