I keep getting that page doesn't exist.
So I can't see it enough to tell.

But if it looks like mine above, then yes.

Now, try spaces where they have spaces, and tabs where they have tabs.

not sure I did the TABBED like you did, how did you make it a long TABBED? still, I checked and find the line that should be spaced in F-Key Displays / Cameras section but not sure is that the cause, booted up the game, launch the mission, still getting that pop-up message about input channel Up/Down on device mouse not exist.

See the target friendly line?
That has tabs.
They used spaces for everything else.
Try spaces.
The length is a option in notepad++ and is only a visual preference. Ie, it doesn't matter.

Personally, I'd match the exact number so all columns line up. Just incase they read from an exact offset. Ie column 1 =0, column 2=25.

Programmers can choose many ways to skin a cat.

Do what they have done for both files and see if it works.
In one, they seem to use spaces. In the other, spaces and tabs.

It might not make any difference, but it also might so it's best to make the format exactly as they have.

Try to replace your key/ control .MAP files in the game folder with mine (it use ESDF) :

I'm jumping in waaaay at the end here. I've been fighting to get Mercenaries 95 running for quite a while now. I've got all the dos versions running, had them for probably 10 years at least. I've got all the titanium versions running, yuck, but the salvage. I really want to try to get mercs 95 1.1 running. I've started from the beginning of this thread and I seem to be getting nowhere.

I have an archos tablet and dell latitude both running win7 32 bit, two legion laptops, one is a y520, one is a Loq, both on win 11 64, and a legion go on win 11 64 I believe. The two win 7 machines run the titanium versions, and I don't think my win 11s will. The Legion Go seems to be the friendliest with allll the old mech games, I've got mech 3 and 4 running well on it, and the y520 is next after that, been using the 520 the longest. Have had everything but the windows versions of mw2 running on it. I forgot, I've also got an old laptop running 98, another Dell I believe it was. I may have gotten mercs native running on it but the performance was so bad it was unplayable.

All that to say, I may not know what I'm doing, but I sure have put a lot of miles down trying to get somewhere with this.

I'm currently trying the dxwnd route on win11 but I feel like I've got blinders on and I'm missing something. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
