Slash Command
/bind_load_file <path>\filename.txt
This command loads the specified bindfile into the current character. A message will be displayed in the chat tabs confirming that the file has been loaded. To load bindfiles without the message, use /bind_load_file_silent.
- Due to limitations of the CoH/V command line parser, the path must be enclosed in quotes if it contains spaces. Thus /bind_load_file "C:\coh binds\bindfile.txt" would be a valid command, while /bind_load_file C:\coh binds\bindfile.txt would not.
- A forward slash (/) or back slash (\) is used in the path depending on the operating system of your computer. For Windows a back slash (\) is used, whereas on Unix based systems such as MacOS and Linux a forward slash (/) is used.
- Path may be either a relative or fully defined (absolute) path:
- fully defined - C:\Games\Homecoming\settings\live\bindsfolder\filename.txt
- relative - \bindsfolder\filename.txt
- (\bindfolder\bindfile.txt would be placed within the default directory.)
- Using the default directory and a relative path can greatly reduce the number of characters in a bind or macro. The maximum number of characters allowed for a bind/macro is 255 characters.
- The location of the default directory/folder (otherwise known as the working folder, the home folder, or relative path folder), can vary depending on the game version, how the game was installed, and the game launcher. So far, there have been 3 locations for the default folder: <COHInstallFolder>, <COHInstallFolder>\data, and <COHInstallFolder>\settings\live.
- If you are having trouble finding the location of your default directory, login to the game and in the chat box type:
/bind_load_file \
- Press Enter/Return. The location of your default directory will be shown in the Global chat window as part of an error message.
- The default game settings files Keybinds.txt, wdw.txt, options.txt, and chat.txt are all stored in the default directory.
Examples
The following are merely examples of using the bind_load_file command, your file path may be different.
- Defined path:
/bind_load_file C:\Games\Homecoming\settings\live\binds\bindfile.txt
- Relative path:
/bind_load_file \binds\bindfile.txt
