Keymap override (i.e. change quicksave key)

[Jeff the Geek]

So I was looking for a way to change the quicksave key in this game and stumbled across something more powerful: some actions that aren't changeable and/or mappable can now become so. Here's how I did it:

1. Locate the keymap.2da file. It can be found in the 2da.zip located at:

   \program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\neverwinter nights 2\Data\2DA.zip

2. Extract a copy of this file to

   \program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\neverwinter nights 2\Override

3. Using your favorite text editor (I recommend Notepad++, but YMMV) edit this file.
   
4. You will see several lines that being with "Actionxx" These names in and of themselves have no meaning, but the interesting field is the 4th field, whice is the "Page". This is the page that the keymap entry is displayed on in the options dialog. You will notice that Quicksave (Action71) doesn't have a page assigned. If you replace the "****" with "2" (no quotes!) it will now display on the "Misc" page/tab of the Keymap options, and you can capture/assign it any of the normal keys (doesn't read Fn keys for some reason).
   
5. Save your changes and back up your file for good measure
   
6. Restart NWN2

The next thing I am going to try is to assign a key to "LoadGame" (Acton72), but this requres an ActionStrRef, that I am not sure if it is arbitrary or not. I will report back when I have done so and let you know.

The number for sure isn't abritrary: setting it 10576 gives a DM option and setting it 10574 makes it not show up, so quickload is TBD at this point.
