I agree with DirectorPhleg as well,thought for a long time.

I'm so glad i found this! Thank you so much much, i hate using arrow keys!

@Saleh : Edit WASDHotkeyFix.sql and remove the "--" in front of the two lines that mention 'CONTROL_SAVE_NORMAL'. Change KB_S to a different key (that's not being used for something else). The second line ("CtrlDown = 1") will require Ctrl to be pressed in conjunction with your new key. You can change Ctrl to Alt or Shift, or add additional lines for multiple modifier keys.

Great mod, thank you. But ctrl+S is disabled now. Any way I can save game using hotkey (not quick save, just save the game)?

This Mod literally saved my game ..
I can't play any game without WASD
but many key has gone like space to " do nothing " and many other key
But despite this prb, it is the best thing
and I use only this mod in my game ..

This mod is insane, I had no idea the engine would even support this

This mod is amazing , I had it installed forever but not enabled because am new to the game and wanted to finish some achievements, but you can actually get this one to work with achievements using the MP workaround mod , both work well together , thanks!

This mod works great, if its not working for you remember to go into your game through the mod, not through the main menu. Only works in Single Player. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! :)
MonkehMaster 7 Jun, 2019 @ 2:52am 
you people are doing it wrong, sub to the mod, then when you get the game running you click on mods and enable the mod and hit next, then when it configures the game data you click on singleplayer in the same box (dont press back) and either start a new one or load a save.

i didnt see multiplayer in the box and ii dont do the multiplayer anyway so i dont know if this mod works in that or not.
kingjamesii87 25 May, 2019 @ 12:20pm 
FYI, the only way I could get this mod to work was by downloading and installing manually from the author (https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/camerarotation-and-wasd-controls-bnw.21638/) AND by replacing the original WorldView.lua file with the one downloaded. Subscribing through the workshop didn't work, and just manually putting the mod contents in the MODS folder didn't work. (Yes be sure to enable the mod too)
Evil Paragon 9 May, 2019 @ 11:14pm 
Wait, that's illegal.
Cahleeeb 27 Mar, 2019 @ 5:48pm 
@Nutzzz yes
Nutzzz  [author] 26 Mar, 2019 @ 8:16pm 
@Cahleeeb : Do other mods work for you?
Cahleeeb 24 Mar, 2019 @ 11:41am 
@Nutzzz I do have BNW, and this was the first mod I used. I even tried all the other variations of this mod separately to see if it was my DLC that was making the mistake and none of them worked.
Nutzzz  [author] 22 Mar, 2019 @ 11:37pm 
@Cahleeeb : Do you have BNW? Are you using another mod that changes WorldView.lua?
Cahleeeb 20 Mar, 2019 @ 12:45pm 
@Nutzzz yes I did
Nutzzz  [author] 18 Mar, 2019 @ 10:52am 
@Cahleeeb : Did you hit NEXT from the MODS menu (not BACK)?
Cahleeeb 9 Mar, 2019 @ 6:39am 
I have this installed but nothing happened, it just didn't work. I enabled it in the Mods menu but still nothing
Nutzzz  [author] 13 Nov, 2018 @ 10:56pm 
@Narzo: Unfortunately, no. :-(
AgustinAbadi 21 Oct, 2018 @ 4:50pm 
@Nutzzz Thanks for the info, but what i had in mind was the other way around. is there a way to modify the maximum zoom-out?
Nutzzz  [author] 12 Oct, 2018 @ 11:45am 
@Narzo : What did you have in mind?
Maximum zoom-in can be set in the config ini., FYI.
AgustinAbadi 9 Oct, 2018 @ 6:44pm 
is there a way to do something about the zoom of the camera?
[BC]Shadow 3 Apr, 2018 @ 1:07pm 
Not working at all. Running G+K and BNW, done all the steps in the troubleshooting guide you posted plus verifying game files and still nothing. Do I need both the G+K and BNW versions for it to work or...?

*rotates camera*
whoa
Fordring 21 Aug, 2017 @ 4:59pm 
I'm installing this mod 100 Times
Royal Raven 22 Jun, 2017 @ 7:18am 
@Nutzzz, I have done the edit for Civ6, thanks. I also started using CQUI and they have their own WASD there.
Nutzzz  [author] 21 Jun, 2017 @ 11:35pm 
See this webpage for a quick Civ6 WASD with a small file edit:

Nutzzz  [author] 21 Jun, 2017 @ 11:31pm 
@Raven_2012: I don't have a lot of time for modding, and I haven't explored Civ6 modding too far yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to do.

As for standalone WASD... To be frank, why? Just don't rotate. ;-) Have you hit the rotation buttons by accident? Note that the only reason they're in one mod is that they both require changing the same file, and would otherwise be incompatible.
Royal Raven 19 Jun, 2017 @ 12:27pm 
Could you also do a standalone WASD without the camera rotation?
Royal Raven 19 Jun, 2017 @ 12:12pm 
Could you make a WASD for Civ6? I think its more need there too, because edge scrolling isn't perfect.
Nutzzz  [author] 1 Jun, 2017 @ 2:56pm 
Without more information, I'm not sure how to help. Just to be sure, by "for sure activated" you went to the MODS menu, checked the circle, hit NEXT, then started a new game or loaded an existing one? [Unlike many other mods, you should be able to load this one with existing games].

If so, try the troubleshooting steps here:

Tritano 30 May, 2017 @ 10:36am 
It does not work for me. It's the only active mod, and the mod is for sure activated.
Nutzzz  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 10:16pm 
@TheJoker116: I'm guessing you hit Back after enabling the mod rather than Next...?
TheJoker116 25 Feb, 2017 @ 9:37am 
It's not working at all. I tried it on the Civ 5 bundle I got from Humble bundle, with all DLCs and expansions included but I still can't get it to work, despite the mod being enabled in the mods menu. Did I miss anything?
Nutzzz  [author] 17 Feb, 2017 @ 11:44pm 
Tom : Sorry, not that I'm aware...
Halware 14 Feb, 2017 @ 4:17pm 
is there a way to fix any weird lighting effects coming from the back of something like a city?
Halware 14 Feb, 2017 @ 4:16pm 
it works on my mac
Konie 8 Oct, 2016 @ 8:02am 
Sure, I understand. I am not Civ5 expert, but we can meet one day on Steam and try step by step installation on mac with your help. with screensharing etc. Ill try to follow your rest of comments later on.
Nutzzz  [author] 21 Sep, 2016 @ 9:00am 
AFAIK, it should work with a Mac (it doesn't use a custom DLL), but I haven't personally tested it. "havin issue" isn't very helpful. Can you be more clear? Do other mods work for you?

I'd like to see the WorldView.lua from a Mac (in the Assets folder of the game installation folder, in the location mentioned in the compatibility note above) to ensure they're not using a slightly different syntax to hook the keys. Can you post the contents to pastebin or put it up on a file sharing site?
Konie 19 Sep, 2016 @ 6:46am 
Is this mod for PC only? Trying to install in on Mac and havin issue, anybody tried?
Legalize Medical Cocaine 28 Jun, 2016 @ 3:11am 
ok thanks
Nutzzz  [author] 27 Jun, 2016 @ 2:34pm 
As for the various expansions, see the link in the description above: "Also see the WASD and non-WASD versions for vanilla Civilization V, Gods + Kings, Brave New World, and Civ V Unofficial Patch."

As for the other DLCs, it doesn't matter.
Legalize Medical Cocaine 27 Jun, 2016 @ 10:22am 
does this work with all dlcs?

well done it is really annoying using arrow keys
Alcpwn 30 Jan, 2016 @ 6:35pm 
Ha thanks. I actually googled this and found your mod on a forum. Thank you so much. See i play on a laptop so using the arrows can be annoying.
BobFish 8 Sep, 2015 @ 11:12pm 
Ahh ok, I did notice the mods menu but didn't click next
Nutzzz  [author] 8 Sep, 2015 @ 6:04pm 
Ah, well then perhaps you're not aware that you need to select the mod from the MODS menu, then hit NEXT to start or load your game (you don't back out to the main menu).
BobFish 8 Sep, 2015 @ 3:35pm 
I'll try that, thanks. This is the first mod I've downloaded
