Kheldian Keybind help.

I'm trying to make some keybinds for a Kheldian I just made with some friends; I used to have files that worked for them but I moved computers, so I'm having to remake them, and I haven't tried in a long while.

I basically made the following file:

c:/binds/pbhuman.txt

Code:
numpad1 "powexec_toggleon Bright Nova$$goto_tray 4$$bind_load_file c:\binds\pbnova.txt"
numpad2 "powexec_toggleon White Dwarf$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name White Dwarf Step$$goto_tray 5$$bind_load_file c:\binds\pbdwarf.txt"
numpad4 "target_name quantum$$target_name void"
numpad5 "$target is mine."
But when I go to load the file, it says it can't read the keybinds. Anyone have any suggestions or know what I'm doing wrong? I appreciate the help.

Hmmm... lemme see. I can see a couple problems with the binds themselves, but it would help to know exactly what the error message is. Is it just rejecting the text file outright, or is it that some of the binds are giving back unknown command errors?

First, some of the binds:

numpad4 "target_name quantum$$target_name void"

I could be wrong, but I don't think target_name will work, or doesn't work any more. You might try something like:

numpad4 "target_custom_next quantum$$target_custom_next void$$target_custom_next cyst"

(threw the cyst in there in case you forgot it)

numpad5 "$target is mine."

You might be better off with a "say" or a "team" in front of that $target:

numpad5 say $target is mine.

Also, while I don't think the quotes don't hurt it, they certainly aren't needed for a single command.

Now, if you're getting an error on the whole file, then that tells me that there's something wrong with the formatting. What program did you write it in? Sometimes programs like Word will put their fancy little curvy quotes in place of actual quotation marks, and that would definitely mess up your file. I even have that problem when I save a file as a .txt file in programs like wordpad.

I generally use Notepad for bind files, but then you probably did too. I'd still check the quotation marks, just to be thorough.

Apart from that, have you tried saving it to a different path? Maybe the file got corrupted (and I'm hoping it's not related to the current path - that would be bad - but you never know.) on that sector of your hard disk.

That's about all I can tell you without a specific error syntax - hope it helps.

Sorry about that. The exact error message it shows is:

Unable to read in keybind file: c:/binds/pbhuman.txt

I originally used that version of target enemy (the one you suggest), but I thought that might be part of the issue since another guide showed a different one, but I'll switch it back and use that one instead.

Thanks for the team catch too, I'll add that in there. =)

As for the files themselves, I created them all as new files with Notepad. I have not tried saving it to a different path, but I'm wondering if the fact I made the files by right-clicking inside the folder and choosing new text document messed something up? I don't think it should have, but I'm not sure why else it couldn't read it.

I just installed this computer a week ago (built it and installed everything on it, really),so I don't think it's any issue like that, but I'll try another file path and seeing if that works.

.. And what do you know, I changed the file path to c:/coh/pb_human.txt, created the file by opening Notepad first then saving as, and it loaded the file just fine.

I'm not entirely sure where it went wrong, but it's working now. Thanks for the help!

Awesome! Glad you got'em loaded.
