Formations in ISBoxer Build 37

Hi,

I've just upgraded ISBoxer to build 37 and am looking forward to testing out the new formation functionality. As its not setup/enabled by default, how do you set it up? I can see the new formation images under "images (global)" but nothing under key maps, a guide would be most useful:)

Thanks!

Re: Formations in ISBoxer Build 37

If you already have Key Maps generated from a previous build of ISBoxer (such as 36), to get the new Key Maps you will need to delete or rename the existing General, Control, and FTL DPS Keys key maps then run the Quick Setup Wizard. If these key maps already exist, they will not be modified or replaced by the wizard.

An easy way to get the new Mapped Keys is to do the following:
1. Open up your main copy of ISBoxer
2. Run ISBoxer a second time. It will pop up a box asking if you want to run it again. Click Yes. It will launch with auto-save disabled (just don't tell it to save when asked later)
3. In the second instance of ISBoxer, go to File, Clear
4. Run the Quick Setup Wizard in the empty profile
5. You now have a brand new generated configuration, with all of the new Key Maps, Description boxes filled in, etc.
6. If you haven't heavily modified your old config, that might be all you need to get giong. Otherwise, it's time to start copying and pasting! Select a Key Map in the top pane, right click on a Mapped Key in the bottom left pane and select Copy Mapped Key to Clipboard. Then in your old config, select your Key Map in the top pane, right click "Mapped Keys" in the bottom left pane, and select Paste Mapped Key from Clipboard. Other things you can copy to the clipboard from the top pane (like a Key Map or the Formations click bar), then in the top pane right click on the heading like "Key Maps" and paste from there.

Re: Formations in ISBoxer Build 37

I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly, got all my key maps transferred over without any problem. The only thing I've had to do is re-add my teams but that was nothing.

I've tested the formations in-game, the line and star formations work great but the flying V seems miss formed and I cant get it to look right, maybe this is a problem with the way I have the movement keys setup but overall I'm happy with the update.

Thanks again:)

Yes thanks LAX for including the Formations into this build. I had a very very basic "break apart" formation but I love the new ones now.
