Can't edit controls.con for parachute ; need help

DrJOnes666 · 02-28-2006, 11:12 AM

Hi guys,

I know it's been discussed in a few threads, but I just don't get it. How and what am I suppoed to do to assign the parachute to my jump key?

I know we have to edit controls.con . I Google searched on my desktop and found FOUR controls.con files! So, I decided to edit them all.
I added the line
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_q 10000 0
because jump is mapped to my q key in my configs.

I launched the game and it doesn't work.
So I figured, I must be doing something wrong. I re-opened all controls.con files and saw that they have settings for land, air, vehicule, etc. So I decided to add the keymapping line under each section. I re-launched the game, and it still doesn't work.

I work on a computer on a daily basis and it is not the first time i edit a config file in a game. But I just don't get it... Where do I do wrong?

Cheers mates!

You only need to edit the Infantry settings. And the file in question is located in your BF2 Profiles folder which is located in a different location than your BF2 game files.

My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\00*\controls.con

* = the profile that you most commonly use on TG servers. For me it was 002 as I have two profiles.

Then the lines that should be replaced are:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_9 10000 0

which should be cahnged to this:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_Space 10000 0

Thanks.
This works. I was now able to assign the jump to the Space Bar.
I thought it would be possible to assign it to another keyboard key, such as the letter Q, but it doesn't seem to work that way.
Well, I can live with Space Bar.

Cheers and thanks!

Replace IDKey_Space with IDKey_Q

I think the letter has to be uppercase but I'm not sure

I tried but it doesn't work for some reason...

Doesn't matter. I'll keep it no the Space bar. It's still much better than the 9 key. :-)

I doesnt work because Q is commo rose. If you put another key for that you can use Q.
