Control tools.exe you can find in main root of game directory (you can also, if you want, delete this icon from our desctop and always if you need to start new config your keyboard directly with double left mouse click on ,,Control tools.exe,, in main root of directory the game). Simply start him from icon or doubleclick on him by mouse button and folow seting instructions from appeared tab (Windows Command). Program Controls Tools not support vehicles characters setting. So you can use default se t this characters in game, or you self find out the commands for vehicles if you need, and you skilled. Im found them.
Note: Be beware set the same keyboard characters in different section it can do conflict! So think about it if you hand map characters!
In main directory of instaled game is picture called ,,Controls Tool Input Guide.jpg,,. If you open him you can see the name of keyboard characters whole keyboard. This parametres you can use for set your new keyboard characters in Controls tool.

With him to play any your favorite game including NanoWars. Simply do your layout, map there on your joystick/joypad any keyboard characters. Assign to him crysis2.exe, let Xpadder on, and start game NanoWars. In game during play will work exacly the same characters of keyboard as you mapped for the joypad/joystick buttons.

PLAY ONLINE VIA RADMIN
Join in radmin public room called EXACTLY:
Crysis 2
Note:
After im joined Crysis 2 network in Radmin and start game Nanowars first time Im played there with strangers which im never have seen before and they also used game NanoWars, and game has not conflict. So all working like sharm. And network room Crysis 2 in Radmin is derectly set for NanoWars mod.
Note2:
You can create your Listen server directly in game. You can there set any parametres of your game directly in main menu of game. All very easily.
Dedicated server:
Hosting dedicated server NanoWars via Radmin is very easy.
Simply you can read the text file called: DEDICATED_SERVER_README_FIRST.TXT which you can find in main directory of game. Open him and there are all instructions written by easy way what to do. Config him with two files called: server.cfg, and levelrotation.xml, they are also available in main directory of game. You can start finaly your server via left mouse double click on file called: server.bat, or file called: Rconnect.exe in main directory of game. You can make icon from him/them on destop if you want.
Note: If you start dedicated server via ,,Rconnect.exe,, you will have lots of posibilities to config server before start. BUT in menu of Rconnect program DONT Use the Anticheat by H3RK !!. If you tick the Anticheat active, players which using numpad for normal play will kicked from game. Are lots of players which using numpad or arrows keyaboard characters for play games and for them will play on server with turn on this anticheat unplayable. Not help to configure Anticheat.cfg because if game start will file overwritten by default. And if you mark the file for,,reading only,, will anticheat stoped work at all. So using this anticheat by H3RK havent sense. and making problems for players.
Note2: If you start dedicated server via ,,server.bat,, file it will also start FeRcon.exe file (FeRcon v0.3 beta2). You will have lots of posibilities to config your server.
IF YOU PLAN HOST DEDICATED SERVER READ THIS BELOW:
HERE IS MY PERSONAL LEVELROTATION.XML FILES FOR ALL AGREED MAPS FROM CRYTEC.
LEVELROTATION.XML FILES FOR ALL EXISTING TEAMPLAY MODES - Assault, CrashSite, CaptureTheRelay, Extraction and TeamInstantAction.
DOWNLOAD HERE:
(Inside zip file are divided levelrotation.xml files in folders and described)
https://ulozto.net/file/XbPsEQ8U8VeR/levelrotation-xml-all-agreed-official-crytec-maps-mods-use-for-...=
AND HERE MY PERSONAL SERVER.CFG
DOWNLOAD HERE:
https://ulozto.net/file/W28cDQEh6H3/servercfg#ZGqzAGR2ATSzATL1LwxmAmHjL2IvMKbmFQL5HScPoQI3HmV1MN==
After download levelrotation files you can put any from them to main directory of your game and overwrite old one. And you can do with file Server.cfg as well.
Then start dedicated server and you not need to care more about. All is there set up.
Certainly if you will want you can configure them. Poit is that files have much more commands then the original one and also ALL existing agreed Crytec maps which support this modes are mapped and working, so you really not need nothing do more.

//////////////////////////////////////
Knowing bugs:
NanoWars stand alone game mod is stable and 100% playable but Sometimes if you click on ,,Quit,, in main menu of game, game will not terminate. Use Ctrl+Alt+elete (game dont like combination Alt+Tab (even you activate this posibility in game), as for me not work and game freezed), and terminate there Crysis2 aplication. Game will by this step end. This vill not harm your personal saves in game because all is saved before you clicked on ,,Quit,, in menu of game.
If you need during play to go desctop dont use the Alt+Tab. First use Alt+Enter (it will transformed your game from ,,Fullscreen,, mode to ,,Windowed,, mode. And them use Alt+Esc. If you do it your game will not crash when you will need to look on dectop during play of game.
Last bug: If you play team games in server, not depend if dedicated or listen, you not see self and other players if you are connected to server. But you and all are connected well and you playing with them. All working, only you not see in tab that you are connected to server.
Unfortunately during more then 10 years (which Im carefuly watching news about this mod and testing), creators of this NanoWars mod this last bug Im named as last above couldnt fix it. Its shame, despite of fact that on any no team deathmatch woking all good.
Maybe someone talented will finaly fix it in future.
///////////////////////
Conclusion:
NanoWars is only one way how to play stable, and similar game to Crysis 2 in the world, via LAN. And for free.
Game work on any computer which has been bought like better average PC, or notebook 13-15 years ago. Its mean in present will game work for almost everybody if you not will turn on additional graphic options.
Its AAA Class standalone mod - At least you should be try NanoWARS game. Its very good and play is very fun.
