I was unable to find this on the Courier Screen and didn't think anything more about it until watching a Youtube KS Mod video when I saw the user (David Hatch) do exactly that. On looking at the "courier.csv" file, I can see that those functions have been effectively removed by shift the rows one column to the right. I'm guessing he was using an earlier version of the mod.

Is there any particular reason this was done?

Those two functions won't work properly with the KS mod. The mod uses a completely different system for sending off scouts and screens.

Well I can see that the courier CSV file used "Ascout" and "Ascreen" rather than the toolbar's "scout" and "screen" .

Presumably I could change the commands in the CSV file - also removing the listcompass setting?

Yes, making those changes are necessary. After you give the scout order to a cavalry regiment, the next order has to be to detach the regiment. Once the scout unit is created, the AI code will automatically reattach the regiment to the brigade and the scout unit will move off.

Kevin, I don't do that. I merely order the cavalry regt to detach scouts, then scroll through that brigade's units until I reach the scouting party, select it and give it a map command.

That's because you use the button on the toolbar. It automatically sends both the scout and detach command.

It automatically sends both the scout and detach command.

I can only see one OnClick attached to the Scout toolbar command

Code:

                <Widget type="Button" skin="IDS_Send_to_Scout_Enemy" position_real="0 0 1 1">
                  <UserString key="NSDDrawCond" value="#follow == 0"/>
                  <UserString key="NSDUpdate" value="1"/>
                  <UserString key="NSDBarVal" value="Me"/>
                  <UserString key="OnClick" value="scout"/>
                  <UserString key="NSDTip" value="#{IDS_Send_to_Scout_Enemy}"/>
                  <UserString key="NSDCheckCond" value="#follow == 2"/>
                </Widget>
