Let us use WASD for buttons, too

[DesertRose92]

You can put buttons on WASD. Let us configure directional inputs and buttons.
I want arrow keys and ASDFZXC as my buttons.

I made a simple web page that should allow you to change the text without having to manually look it up. Use it in the bottom right section;

If you tell me what button layout you want I can give you config.ini

Punch=a
Kick=s
Guard=d
PunchKick=q
PunchGuard=w
KickGuard=e
PunchKickGuard= f

I've never played the game before. But I can make this work. I'm left handed. The game is unplayable without wasd

How do you save this? Do you copy and past the left side to a .txt or somthing?

you're playing with a keyboard? why not use a controller?

You're playing on a Computer. Why not use a Keyboard?

Leverless controller / keyboard > gamepad > arcade stick

Unfortunately, this method does not seem to be very stable, my key config is being thrown randomly mid-match most times. I ticked read-only but moves dont seem to register well :/ Gonna need an official fix i think.

Have you changed your directional inputs? Don't use the alternative keys, they are not functioning properly

Did not change the arrow keys. My input works for 2 random rounds and not for the rest, all my chars doing is trying to throw online :/

I was able to play a full match with it. The other player cancelled so I couldn't test if further if you meant 2 whole matches?

But yes one of the problems right now is the game sort of randomly attempts to reset all the button config to whatever it has stored in the game itself (not the config.ini) and as far as I can see we don't have the ability to change WASD settings where the game has settings stored.

I'm thinking of workarounds. The more problems you tell me about it the more I can attempt to solve it.

Moves not registering is from SOCD cleaning problems. You'll need to have an AutoHotKey script running to macro around it. Right now the game priorities one sideways direction over another and so if you're holding down one direction, the other will never register until you release. This is worse on one side of the screen. The game hasn't been programmed to account for the ability of a player using a keyboard to hold down two different directions at the same time.

Here's the AHK script to try fix SOCD for Arrow keys. Someone else produced a better one in the beta forum but it's lost now. I had this still saved. It will attempt to improve half circles as well.

@Sphinc Sir you are the real MVP for this game, i would have refunded it if not for your attempts at fixing it.

The networking problems made it unplayable so I had to find something else interesting about the game to do lol

I just got curious about why the game was strangely playing terrible on keyboard and tried to figure out the problem and solutions. The only hard part of it all is the time it takes in booting the game up over and OVER into practice mode to test any changes haha

The SOCD issues are a very old problem from when people first started using hitbox controllers on consoles. The games there weren't programmed with the idea players could hold both directions at once and I believe in early MvC3 it meant players could block all attacks by just holding both directions. Controllers ended up being banned until SOCD cleaning became a thing built into custom controllers. And it was still controversial, like Daigo using Guile to do super fast Sonic Booms with his custom controller.

Boss, this method doesnt work anymore since the patch. Im unable to play the game at all. Is there anything you can cook up?

Had to reinstall the game, I've given up until they decide to take it seriously. Port still doesn't have proper SOCD cleaning.

I think I got yours working again. They seem to have added new sections to the button ini file.

So what you had as;

[VF5FS_P1]
Minigame_LeftLever_Up="16,38"
Minigame_LeftLever_Down="17,40"
Minigame_LeftLever_Left="18,37"
Minigame_LeftLever_Right="19,39"
Minigame_LeftLever_Up_alt="12,32"
Minigame_LeftLever_Down_alt="13,74"
Minigame_LeftLever_Left_alt="14,75"
Minigame_LeftLever_Right_alt="15,76"
Minigame_Punch="0,81"
Minigame_Kick="1,87"
Minigame_Guard="2,69"
Minigame_PunchKick="7,20"
Minigame_PunchGuard="6,65"
Minigame_KickGuard="5,83"
Minigame_PunchKickGuard="4,68"
LMenu="9,9"
RMenu="8,27"
LS="10,78"
RS="11,77"

I believe can be ignored or reverted to default.

Instead now what you want to change is;

[VFREVO_P1]

Scroll down the ini file quite a bit and you'll find it closer to the bottom.

So yours will look like;

[VFREVO_P1]
Minigame_LeftLever_Up="16,38"
Minigame_LeftLever_Down="17,40"
Minigame_LeftLever_Left="18,37"
Minigame_LeftLever_Right="19,39"
Minigame_LeftLever_Up_alt="12,32"
Minigame_LeftLever_Down_alt="13,74"
Minigame_LeftLever_Left_alt="14,75"
Minigame_LeftLever_Right_alt="15,76"
Minigame_Punch="0,81"
Minigame_Kick="1,87"
Minigame_Guard="2,69"
Minigame_PunchKick="7,20"
Minigame_PunchGuard="6,65"
Minigame_KickGuard="5,83"
Minigame_PunchKickGuard="4,68"
LMenu="9,9"
RMenu="8,27"
LS="10,78"
RS="11,77"

It worked in training at least, pretty sure.

I dont have such a section in my .ini
Tried adding it to no avail. Also tried changing the other ones, but none seem to be recognized by the game.
Ill verify files and check again.
