So what should I do to make sure a bin is properly hotkeyed (in MotS)? I used flag 0x122 (0x2 inventory item, 0x20 always present, 0x100 hotkeyable), and listed the item cog in items.dat. I listed the three new hotkeys in jkstring.uni at "ACTIVATE20" to 22, and increased the message count by 3. I placed the item cogs in my level cog folder and added them to my level. What is the next step?

I don't believe that hotkey cogs will work by being in the level gob. You'll have to make a mod gob for them to work properly.

Other than that, just make sure the bin is available so the hotkeys will be usable.

Cheers for the help, Hell Raiser.

So, I make a separate gob of the item cogs. Should they be in a folder labelled cog, and is there anything else that should go with them (a copy of items.dat?). Where should the gob file be placed to use it?

Inside the gob, the cogs should be in cog/
The items.dat should be in misc/

The gob file will be usable with Patch Commander, or you can just make a batch file(.bat text file) with jk.exe -path DIRECTORY and put your files as if they were in a gob in a folder inside your JK folder and name it something and use that as your path name.

Oops I'm rambling hope that all made sense.
