how to change the ENB screenshot button?

[Drinkcup]

recently realized that enb now defaults to the same button that I assign for steam screenshots, that is, the numberpad 0 which also reads as Insert key.

So, when I take a screenshot I am actually taking 2... not the end of the world but may be causing a bit of lag (i certainly do get some sometimes).

The funny thing is, it doesnt happen every time I hit the ss key. Probably happening less than 1 in 10 screenshots taken. But um... i take a LOT of screenshots (and I do mean a lot!) so if I could change the enb input that would be helpful. Changing the steam key is also an option but I would rather not since I would have to also change my mouse input setup, and frankly, I like having that big ole numpad 0 as the ss key


is there a simple edit to change the enb ss capture key?

in enblocal.ini, or enbseries.txt (or .ini ?) I'm at work

actually really easy, but you need to know what key you want to make it. as stated above it is in the enblocal.ini. this is the section in the ini... just make it something you don't use

[INPUT]
//shift
KeyCombination=16
//f12
KeyUseEffect=123
//home
KeyFPSLimit=36
//num / 106
KeyShowFPS=106
//print screen
KeyScreenshot=44
//enter
KeyEditor=13
//f4
KeyFreeVRAM=115
//B
KeyBruteForce=66

You can modify which hot keys are assigned to the ENB here. I preferred grouping the keys I use from F4 through F8, (115-119) but this is strictly a personal preference to allow logical grouping of hotkeys from other mods, and offered only as an example. I also swapped KeyScreenshot, and KeyUseEffect for compatibility with Steam having F12 as the screenshot key.

edit I haven't got any duplicate scrrenshots??? you art talking about the f12 key yes?

If you are unsure about the keycode, then you can use the ingame ENB GUI to select it. GUI should display the keynumber you have selected.

ENB GUI opens with [LSHIFT]+[ENTER] by default. If your screen is spinning after mouse trail, then just open to console to freeze it.

i also saw this on google. it's all gobbldy-gukk too me.

I have no idea what "KeyScreenshot=44
//enter" means or how to edit it without screwing it up.


thats why im asking how to change the ENB screenshot button

since almost the entire kb is taken up at this point, most or all of those enb hotkeys I would rather just disable, or null value. I can do things in the enb menu without hotkeys. I really don't want these hotkeys at all.

44 isn't for Enter, it's the code for your PrintScreen button, which is actually Skyrim's default screenshot key anyways (F12 is for the Steam Overlay's screenshot function).

The lines beginning with // are comments.

Here's a keycode list, if you're looking to remap:

oh, right, whoops, should have been
"//print screen
KeyScreenshot=44"

that still doesnt make sense to me. what does 44 refer to?

[Drinkcup]

Ok, cool thanks for the list, i would never have seen that, ever.


so, to change to say, PageUp, it would look like this

//Page Up
KeyScreenshot=33




does the part after '//' have to be specifically written as such, or is that really a guide to the user what key they are looking at

because Page Up could be written , PageUp PgUp pageup pgup etc xP

Loosely speaking, when you press a button on your keyboard, the device sends a number to your OS. Your OS figures out what key you pressed based on that number and what it knows about the region where the keyboard was built.

On most keyboards, 44 represents the PrintScreen button, so the line "KeyScreenshot=44" means "the ENB takes a screenshot when someone pressed PrintScreen".

Your ENB is configured to take a screenshot when someone presses numpad 0, which'll either be code 96 or 45, depending on whether you've got numlock on or not.

Look inside your "enblocal.ini" file, locate the KeyScreenshot line, change the number to the code of the key you want.

Alternatively, I get the impression that the ENB GUI Lyqyd mentioned would allow you to not only view keycodes but to change the button as well? Did you mess with that at all?

thanks it makes sense I just never thought it would apply to something I had to look up the actual input numbers for :D

umm... i'm ... fairly sure I never changed any of the hotkeys, but still, some of them look a little wonky. here's the full section from the ini:

[INPUT]
//back
KeyReadConfig=8
//shift
KeyCombination=16
//f12
KeyUseEffect=123
//home
KeyFPSLimit=36
//num / 106
KeyShowFPS=106
//insert
KeyScreenshot=45
//enter
KeyEditor=13
//
KeyFreeVRAM=122
KeyBruteForce=66

Again, the lines beginning with // are comments - that is to say, the ENB ignores them, they're only there to help out people trying to read the file. The comments go above the lines they relate to, but you can stick them in any order you like (or even add new comment lines if you like) - the ENB doesn't care.

33 is indeed the code for Page Up, anyway.

[Drinkcup]

See, what further confuses me about all this, is,
//enter
KeyEditor=13

so, every time I use the Enter key to pass time, or split inventory, or confirm MCM changes, the enb is getting told to do something?

each time, is it editing what keys do what when i press enter? what? why...
or, does that require the shift key? you know, like... that's the menu..


:P sorry but, this overloads my brain when there are too many possible things it could be... thanks for all help

Apparently the Key Editor function only fires if you press Shift at the same time as the assigned button, or so says Google.

In your case it's Shift + Enter, just as Ilja told you.

well then, the Key Editor = the enb menu.
well that's what i had said. Lyqyd, ...there's no one here by that name.. cool, more confusion!

everyone knows Shift+Enter is the enb menu.. you know why? because it says it for the entire time when you load Skyrim. that was never the question.

I browse too many forums. I meant Ilja. Don't mind me. >_<
