Hotkey Customization...HOW?!?

[:1]title says it all: how do you customize hotkeys?



do you honestly mean to tell me that this game is so bassackwards to conventions that I can't set hotkeys to what I want?|||That is realy insane!



and i think it is impossible to fire and move with your character at the same time!!! |||Here is a tool, that will let you remap hotkeys in Space Siege:



http://www.autohotkey.com/



If you want to remap keys you can use the open source program AutoHotKey. I've used it for years (I'm a programmer).

For instance, to remap the middle mouse button to be "evade" instead of "move camera" and f to be "health pack" add this to the script:



#IfWinActive ahk_class gpgwndclass_spacesiege_exe

MButton::e ;Evade

f::h ;Health

#IfWinActive



After adding the above to the script, right click on the tray icon (the green H) and click "Reload This Script". And there you go.

Note - this will NOT affect any application besides Space Siege since I added the class name of the program in the script.

Open the help file (which is great) and search for "hotkey" to get the full list of keys and buttons.



Posted by gerstena on the Sega forums. Check link for more examples/info. Good luck!|||Sticky.|||Not "officially" supported (i.e. we haven't been able to test this), so use at your own risk, but for the record, Col. Jessep is a class act in my book.



Please report any problems you may have with this workaround here for ease of monitoring.



Stickied.



- Servo|||I used Autohotkey to play Guild Wars with a PS2 pad :D



I had left stick for movement and right stick to rotate the camera :)



I had to use some fancy code to make the right stick work as holding right mouse button down & moving the mouse.





If one was sufficiently motivated, it's not impossible to make an autohotkey script that maps a joystick (or some keys) to "click the mouse button onscreen to the right/left/up/down of the character."|||Well, I dont have Space Siege so...

But I guess you would make a lot of people very happy around here if you could get this working AZ.

Steam CD Key

[:1]EDIT:



For now, it's possible to get your CD key through Steam support. Go to this site:

https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php

Fill out the form with your information (you may need to create an account with Steam Support if you haven't before). In my case, Steam Support replied within 15-20 minutes with my CD key.



Good luck!





EDIT #2:



CD keys can also be found in the registry. Here's the step by step process for those who are unfamiliar with regedit:



1) Open the Start Menu and click Run (or if you are in Vista, just open the Start Menu)

2) Type 'regedit' without the quotes, press enter

3) Navigate to the appropriate registry directory



FOR 32 BIT WINDOWS:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SEGA\Gas Powered Games\Space Siege



FOR 64 BIT WINDOWS:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SEGA\Gas Powered Games\Space Siege



4) Inside that directory, you will see a value labeled "key." This is your CD key. Copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the necessary GPGnet dialog box.



Many thanks to Eon for the tip!|||When you purchase a game through steam the CD-Key is bound to your account.|||hi,



is not so ... i have this game loaded over steam too and it is not key in the field, is not bound on my account ... how cam i see my cd key?



thanks|||The problem is that their CD-Key is also permanently bound to GPGNet. The thing is that when you run GPGNet for the first time without an account, it should automatically (did for SupCom and FA) fill in the CD-Key field for you.



Otherwise, you might contact VALVe customer support.|||However, unfortunately, no CD key is in it. What can I do now?|||I'm having the same problem with no CDKEY from Steam. It would be nice to play MP.|||Thank you for coming back and letting us know about your resolution, greatcaffeine, I will sticky this thread for the benefit of others trying to get access to GPGnet with a Steam download.



greatcaffeine|||Great! Just waiting to hear back from SteamSupport.

Thanks!|||Same here been waiting 4 hours now. |||Steam support usually takes 3-5 working days to respond to support tickets although it will vary depending on how many tickets are being submitted (and some tickets get prioritised over others like hijacking ones).

If you did NOT get a 12-digit code at the end of the process then you did NOT successfully complete the process and VALVe did NOT get your support ticket.|||The cd key can be found in the registry under localmachine\software\sega\gaspoweredgames\spacesiege or software\wow6432node\sega if you use winxp64 like me.

Laggy Mouse, slow menus

[:1]I have a PC running Vista Business, AGP nVidia 7600GS, AMD 4200+ dual core, 2GB memory. Lots of disc space. Latest video drivers (updated them last night from the nVidia site).



I installed the demo. Immediately the mouse is super laggy - really effects hameplay. I down-scaled the video settings, no difference. Restarted the game, no difference. Rebooted, no difference. Took game suggested video defaults again, restarted, no difference. Run in "windowed" mode, mouse seems a bit better (mouse less laggy) but the game is hard to play in a window. Place it back in full screen mode and again, mouse is laggy, game is difficult to play.



I searched google and saw others reporting this issue but no suggestions other than "restart the game". Thoughts from the developers would be greatly appreciated.



Also, when I select a menu it seems pretty slow to come up, over a second I would say? I can appreciate a nice slide in effect but these feel really laggy. It could be this is actually the mouse problem, too, but it just felt odd. Sort of the same thing when pressing "M"ap, it should just snap up, but it seems like there is a 1 second delay? Mostly this is annoying coming from Dungeon Siege where almost everything was very fast and responsive.



About shooting: One of the things I loved about Dungeon Siege was that it was a "button masher". I could set my level of engagement so I had to button mash or they would auto-attack, and auto attack -a- closest, -b- strongest, etc. I think Space Siege could leverage this same sort of ability.



The map: I really miss the ability to quickly press Tab to get a Map overlayed and not have it stop the action. I can appreciate pressing tab to switch weapons, but what about something like "q" to switch weapons and tab to bring up the map preferably overlayed so I don't have to stop the game. With an option so it toggles or just stays up overlayed.



Finally: Especially due to the mouse / video issues mentioned above, I wish this was a 360 game. The controls are probably minimal enough that it would work on the 360.|||Sounds like GPG doesn't like mouse clicks that work! In SupCom, too, the laggy UI is often cited as a major reason the top players are leaving.|||Yes I had a problem with the lagging mouse as well. Was one of my main complaints about the demo along with no WASD movement|||My mouse lagged if I disabled VSYNC on my 7950GX2 system. If I turn it back on, the mouse lag goes away.



Which is unfortunate because VSYNC impedes SLI.|||Well are you all using an USB mouse maybe? - If yes then try once an (old) PS/2 mouse just as reference test.



Depending on the hardware, mouse drivers and on how resource-intensive applications are programmed there can be sometimes a notable latency on the USB... |||I use USB as well and its fine, try different resolutions/settings.



And check that your display isn't in 16 bit or something.|||I haven't tried changing vsync I don't think, but I definitely tried lower and higher resolutions, lower and higher textures, etc. When in full screen it didn't make any difference.



I will double check my color depth, but I am 99% sure it never leaves 32bit. But I will check.



My mouse is definitely USB. I will look for a PS2 adapter and try that.|||KillerGremal|||I looked and couldn't immediately find a USB/PS2 mouse adapter nor do I still have a PS2 mouse, so that is straight out.



I tried "default" video settings and VSYNC on and off, makes no difference.



I dropped all settings to absolute minimum / off and it helps the mouse a little bit, bit it doesn't solve the problem. The game is still jumpy, the mouse is still laggy.



Let me give a better description of laggy. If you move the mouse just a little it delays before showing the new location. This is true if you do large movements, too.... Say, you move the mouse quickly so it would go half way across the screen, the pointer stays in the first position until the time it would be at the stopped position across then screen then a beat later it appears at the second location - there is no pointer image between the two positions - and it takes longer than it should to appear at the second location.



I have checked my color depth. It is 32bit, this system has never run 16bit.



I am saddened that Space Siege folks haven't chimed in with anything more than "resolution" and "32bit". If this isn't resolved, you have definitely lost a sale, which is sad, I know others are having this same problem. I have been incredibly excited to play Space Siege since the first announcement, oh well.|||You do know that demos are unsupported, that TCC is not anything to do with Space Siege, and I use a USB mouse which is fine.|||OK DeadMG, I stand corrected: TCC has nothing to do with Space Siege. USB mice work fine. Demos are unsupported. BUT, I am not the only one having this problem - happily you don't.



BUT, it has always been my impression that demos should help you determine if the game is your cup of tea AND if it the game will run on your system AND because releasing demos can help developers reach a wider audience to help find problems with their code (which would technically be a beta-test, but...). I am a software developer, myself. When I put out a demo, I want to know if it doesn't work for people so I can help them get it running correctly. If I didn't make sure it ran for as many people as possible, I would lose sales.



I believe I meet the suggested system specs (posted previously) but the game doesn't work correctly (as previously described). I came here because this is the official GP forum. I mistakenly thought GP might care about these issues and want people to be able to play their demo in such a way as it would translate to sale. I had the idea that GP was in the business of making games because they wanted people to buy them. If their demo doesn't work, wouldn't it benefit them to help people get it working?



If they won't support their demo to help me determine if their game is "just broken on some configurations," or if there is something I can adjust to make it work right, then they lost a sale. If GP truly doesn't provide any help for people who have problems with their demo, I truly won't drop $50 on the chance that the "release" code works better. It's really unfortunate as I loved Dungeon Siege and ALL of its sequels (I bought every Dungeon Siege game, sequel, and expansion). I want to play Space Siege, but I want it to run correctly.



Sure, sometimes demos this close to release are based on code that is weeks or months old. Maybe the release code has my problem solved. But without somebody from GP at least acknowledging the issue, I won't bet my $50 on it.|||I just wanted to chime in here and concur with the original poster. While I really enjoyed the demo, the mouse was laggy for me too. It's as if the mouse cursor responds to mouse movement a split second later. So it makes point-and-click a bit frustrating for such a point-and-click intensive game.



I'm going to keep checking these forums and see if a patch addresses the issue before picking it up. I did enjoy my time with the demo quite a bit. If the mouse thing gets fixed up I'll definately take the plunge.|||http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265833|||Oh well, with a 6.4 at IGN I guess my mouse-lag problems and the lack of GPG's interest in helping me solve my mouse-lag problem are the least of this games issues. Too bad, I was really very excited to play this game. I guess I'll hold off and see if Too Human fairs better.|||Per the readme, certain system configurations can induce cursor lag.



We have open requests with the video card manufacturers to compensate for this in drivers as it is video specific. In the meantime however, use this workaround:



1. Start up "Space Siege" and either start a game or load an existing one.

2. Once the game has begun, press the ‘Enter’ key to bring up the chat console.

3. Type “forceflushbeforepresent” (without the quotes) into the chat field.

4. Press enter to submit the text. You can toggle this setting off again by entering this text again from within the chat console.



- Servo|||I actually added



"forceflushbeforepresent = true"



as a new line in "SpaceSiege.ini" file (the game's saved configuration)



it is located "My Documents\My Games\Space Siege"



it seems to work. I don't have to retype that in every time now.|||While it didn't completely remove all sluggishness on the mouse, this helped a great deal. This made the demo quite a bit more playable.



I should take two wacks on the knuckles for not reading the readme.txt file, but it would be nice of somebody from GPG was watching the forums for this kind of thing instead of just letting the message sit here for nearly two weeks. Oh well.|||I had the same problem with the full version, Vista32 and Logitech wireless USB mouse.

It seems to improve matters.

I entered "forceflushbeforepresent" in the console and it appeared in Speceseige.ini which is in "Documents\My Games\Space Siege" in Vista.

Possible fix for Demo / Vista Ultimate crash

[:1]I installed with antivirus disabled, uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted/uninstalled+reinstalled physx and various combinations of the above. I ran the installer (both physx and the demo itself) as administrator, and set the game to run as admin.

I'm glad to finally find someone else with the exact same problem as me. Could GPG please post suggestions for what to try?|||It's not Vista, runs fine on my and my brother's Vista Ultimate.

Updated to the latest SB Audigy 2 drivers (Alchemy). Seems there was a release on 8/1 of new Vista Drivers



Updated my Mobo to the latest BIOS (p28 to p32).



Removed\Uninstalled Microsoft Live Mesh Tech Preview



Removed\Uninstalled Diskeeper 2008 Pro

- Windows Eseenials Media Codecs Update Service

- DAEMON Tools Lite

- Creative Sync Manager

- CtHelper Application

- CTXfiHlp Application

- Microsoft LifeCam

- QuickTime

- PC Pitstop Optimize Reminder

- PC Pitstop Optimize

- WinAMP Agent



Really not sure if it was one or all of these things, but it works now. Mostly I did this stuff to streamline my boot process, but after doing it, I found that the game now starts and runs with no issues.



Maybe this will help someone else out.|||Thanks for getting back with your new update info CyberCrist. I am going to sticky this one for the time being. It is likely this problem will occur in the main game as well.



Config testing can include an infinite number of combinations. We had not seen the crashing on any of our config systems, but given the above list, the most likely culprits were either the BIOS, or the Audigy drivers.



If you can identify what versions of those two you had previously installed, we can try reproducing the problem.



- Servo|||Disckeeper is evil. I have plenty of bad experiences with it.



Updating the SB audigy drivers most likely did the trick.



BTW: CTXfiHlp is a part of Audigy drivers :).|||Thanks for the information, and congratulations on getting the demo to work.



I just patched my BIOS as there was a new version from a couple of weeks back.



My sound is on board and is Realtek, but the driver is the latest.



I checked MSCONFIG and don't see the files you killed.



I had really hoped the BIOS update would get me in the demo, the exact same problem is still there. As others have said, the full game will most likely be set up just the same, so I couldn't play it if I wanted to.|||GPG-Servo|||DeadMG

Max@Sega|||Here is my story, copied from what i wrote on the Sega-Forums yesterday:



Title: Space Siege vs. Kapsersky Internet Security Ver. 7.0



Hi Community,



maybe the problem i discovered helps some other ppl who cannot play the game because of crashes during gamestart or problems with the "insert correct DVD".



I installed the game (SpaceSiege german version) on my brandnew PC system with:



Intel Core2Duo E8400@3GHz

Gigabyte MB

2 GB Ram

MS GF9600GT 1GB Ram

LG DVD-ROM GDRH20N

LG DVD-RAM GH20NS10

WinXP SP2



The following happend to me after installation-process (long but read ahead :) ), i tried to start the game and it instantly crashes with some error-code. So i installed the new SpaceSiege.exe that GPG offers for the Vista32 and incorrect DVD problem. It doesn't help, only the "crash" was different .. because there was no real crash, after double clicking on the spacesiege icon i could hear that now the game tried to read the DVD, but nothing happend and the game didn't start.



After that i installed the game on an older PC system with:



Athlon64 3500+

2GB Ram

MSI GF8600gt 256MB Ram

Toshiba SD-M1712 DVD-Rom

WinXP SP2



I was happy because the game started without problems on this PC, but it wasn't the real solution to me because there is a huge difference how good this PC runs SpaceSiege compared to the newer one.



So i thought:"Ok it's a problem with the DVD-drives of the newer PC vs the copy protection of SpaceS." and so i installed the older Toshiba drive from the older PC into the new PC system. BUT this didn't help, from now i experienced the :"insert correct DVD" Problem ???!!!!



OK so i thought it must be a conflict between some older copy-protection driver of another game that that causes the crashes and is incompatible with the copy protection of SpaceSiege. And so i reformated the harddisk and installed a clean WinXP with service pack and drivers on the new PC. After that i installed SpaceSiege .. and guess what? It started and worked fine.



YES it ran fine to the moment i installed my Anti Virus protection -> Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0. After the installation of the AV program SpaceSiege showed the same error i've got from the first time when i installed the game. So first i disabled the AV protection but it didn't help, after that i configured the AV program that it will not startup with Windows BUT that also didn't help ... only a complete de-installation/removing the Kaspersky Internet Security helped and Space Siege started without problems. I tested this two times .. and i tried to configure the AV program to allow SS all action on the DVD etc. but nothing helped.



BUT now the really strange thing .. when i played SS on my older PC it had the same AV program installed, with the same version and same updates, the same WinXP SP etc. and there were no problems and conflict between KIS 7.0 and SS.



For the moment i 've removed KIS 7.0 from my system, but this solution is very dissatisfying. Maybe what happend to me here helps some of you (or maybe Sega/GPG to fix this) who puzzles about why SS won't run while your AntiVirus protection is disabled etc. maybe you have completely to remove the AV program from you PC system, because it seems this programs install routines deep in the operating system, so that disable or kill the AV process is not enough.



PS. Sorry for my bad english , i'm not a native speaker/writer



Cheers.|||I second that, my space siege was working just fine until I installed KIS 7. Now it wont even start the executable, no black screen, just instant crash city. This crash happened on my heafty XP pro computer and my moderate vista-32 laptop.



It doesnt seem to matter what OS you are running (or that you have daemon tools or alchol 120 installed/running), just that kasperky is installed, not that its even running.



To assist in the debug, I am using a downloaded version from direct2drive. I have downloaded the install files three times already, doing multiple installs. With KIS 7 installed, I cant even get the activation screen to come up anymore. Before KIS 7 was installed, I could activate and play the game without much issue (aside from being a little under recommended hardware on the laptop).



Uninstallation of my firewall and antivirus is not a proper work around. Help?|||Exact same problem with retail version. Downloaded and installed SAGA "fix" as directed (replacing orig exe file) and exact same result. The fix didn't do squat and I can't play the game. Ridiculous!



I was even desperate enough to get hold of alcohol 120 and try that solution but even the mounted image file of the disk produces the exact same error message.

You must ensure that you have selected Space Siege as the active game within the GPGnet client.



You can do this at the login window using the Game drop-down, or within the GPGnet client itself by clicking the Space Siege button in the lower-left near the Online/Away selector.



Yet a third option is available, however this last option should only be required if you do not have the first two options available (Space Siege not in drop-down, SS button not available). This is done via the Tools > Manage Games menu within the GPGnet client, in which you can browse to the executable (i.e. SpaceSiege.exe), telling GPGnet where the game is located. After doing this, the Game drop-down on the login screen will have Space Siege as an option, and the SS button will appear in the lower-left border of the client near the Online/Away selector.



Once you've selected Space Siege as the active game, you will be requested to enter your CD key. Once you've entered your CD key you will then be able to enter Main Chat, as well as host/join games.
