Vista and BZ2 problems

[Dataanti]

I just got my new laptop PC that runs on Vista home and its 64 bit and i was able to install all versions of BZ2 exept for 1.3pb3 and when im playen any other version my ~ key stops working so i cant use  ctrl + ~ to get into the command line. Does any1 know of this or have a fix

pb4/pb4a allow you to remap the ~ key via gameprefs.ini.

Thanks for that info. I'll look into it.

Nope its an HP Pavilion DV5-1014CA (I think)

i tried redoing the 0x29 thing in the game prefs to Z key and it did nothing and to use F10 on my pc i dont know if any1 else has this problem i need to hold ctrl + F10

whats the best keyboard setting to use with BZ2

[Dataanti]

also once u move a unit to the F10 slot with ctrl + F# u cant get it back out

I use vista, but its not a laptop nor is it 64 bit, and it seems to run fine, except when i use the F10 key i lags a little bit (not really annoying)

[Dataanti]

also when u select a group of units u cant use ~ to select 1 of the units in the group

As far as keymapping goes. Is there a way to 'grab' the key to find out its character code for BZ2?

[OvermindDL1]

Just google keycode, or scancode... whichever one it was that BZ uses...

i think its cause laptops have different key boards like the smaller 1s have not as much keys so they fit and the bigger 1s have more buttons cause they fit, and the F 10 problem is only in 1.3 for me.
