Problems changing some keys in-game

**SloppyJoe** · 11-11-2005, 12:30 PM

I'm still a little nervous about going into the controls file and changing binds and I don't really have anything fancy to do just yet to motivate me to even go there. But I'd like to change some keys and I've notices some wierdness.

Particularly in common settings, crouch (left cntl) and scoreboard (tab).

I try to clear them out (left click in the box and then escape) and that works.
Then, say I want tab to work for my knife (weapon 1), I go to weapon 1 (1), clear it, reselect it, then hit tab...

A window comes up that says that key is already being used in common commands.

Uh... rescanning to make sure it's not there verifies... it's not there!

??? What's a brother to do ???

Yeah, someone wanted to change the mouse on the heli and was running into the same thing... solution.. get out the wrench and get into control file.

It seems like a lot of work for something so *********** simple.

That's what you gotta do.. Buggy system EA gave us.

Yeah, it looks like you're going to have to dig into the control file.

Assuming you still want it bound to '9' as well, add

Code:

ControlMap.create InfantryPlayerInputControlMap
...
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_Space 10000 1

Alright, got the mouse wheel in action for pistol/knife and 20 other changes. Time for a beer and the relearning process.

Cool bind for the parachute BTW I gotta add that in.
