Can't keybind (RESOLVED)

[COLTChris]

Hi!
Does anyone know why I can't keybind Magic mode to a key other than "Right Control"?
It's really annoying that the key I choose disappears after I leave the menu and to be honest, I don't like the idea of moving my hand across the whole keyboard just to cast a spell.

EDIT- Issue resolved by configuring it in the .ini file.

You can customize controls in the control options. And you are supposed to press the left ctrl with your left hand. So I am not sure what your are mean when you are saying "moving my hand across the whole keyboard".

You really need two hands to play this game. If you are one-handed game controls will be really really difficult.

Actually, that's what I'm trying to say. I can't keybind the action to the left ctrl. It's bound to the RIGHT ctrl and my right hand is on the mouse (obviously). So, I have to move my left hand, which is controling the movement of the character, to the RIGHT ctrl, draw the spell with the mouse and go back to the WASD.
It's not the best way to do it since there are enemies chasing me.

And yes, I have my both hands, thank the universe.

cfg.ini or cfg_default.ini is “read only”?

Probably not, I haven't fiddled with the file yet. I'm using Arx Libertalis MOD though.

By default Magic mode is bound to both LeftControl and RightControl so either key should work.

What version of Arx Libertatis are you using?

[COLTChris]

I'm using 1.1.2
Well, if it were on Left ctrl also, it won't come back since I've remaped that to Toggle Crouch. I tried binding it to Left ctrl too, but it just wouldn't stay.

Can you post your cfg.ini and arx.log somewhere? They are stored under you user directory[wiki.arx-libertatis.org].

Alright, thanks. I've added a response to https://bugs.arx-libertatis.org/arx/issues/717 assuming that's your report.

[COLTChris]

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that!

[COLTChris]

Ok guys, so that everyone knows, fiddling with the config.ini file has resolved my issue.
Thank you all who tried to help somehow very much! I appreciate that.

Rock on. o/
