QWERTY Keyboard only ?

[Tyrilha]

It seems the devs forgot (didn't realize) that WASD only works for certains keyboard (ie US one). For exemple on a french keyboard its ZQSD.
Some even prefer to use the arrow keys.

Not being able to edit key binding is seriously not good >(

Thank you for reply. We will try to fix this problem.

The best fix would be to allow changeable keybinds. I'm not sure why anyone would release a game on PC without the ability to do so. This is even worse than no fov option as changeable keybinds have been a thing since the beginning of the industry essentially.

[Cthuleric]

I agree, changable keys are crucial. You can do it!
(and dont forget to implement gamepad controls :) )

I second this. I am not using a Qwerty keyboard, and WASD is non-sense for me. I will change the layout of my keyboard software-wise just for testing the game, but this can't be a long-term solution (I often multitask while I play, and need to type text, e-mails, and stuff while the game is still running).

I already expressed my desire for rebindable keys in another thread, but yeah… "Me too" :). I use the French "bépo" keymap and I like to play with PUIE… (not the same keys as WASD).

The game looks great, it’s been a while since I saw an interesting game for Linux.

You can try rebinding keys by replacing the following section of the configuration file with the corresponding section of "Unigine Heaven" benchmark's configuration file where you changed the key bindings to your preference (inside the benchmark application):

<item name="controls_key_0" type="int">119</item>
<item name="controls_key_1" type="int">115</item>
<item name="controls_key_10" type="int">270</item>
<item name="controls_key_11" type="int">259</item>
<item name="controls_key_13" type="int">280</item>
<item name="controls_key_14" type="int">281</item>
<item name="controls_key_15" type="int">287</item>
<item name="controls_key_2" type="int">97</item>
<item name="controls_key_3" type="int">100</item>
<item name="controls_key_4" type="int">268</item>
<item name="controls_key_5" type="int">269</item>
<item name="controls_key_6" type="int">266</item>
<item name="controls_key_7" type="int">267</item>
<item name="controls_key_8" type="int">113</item>
<item name="controls_key_9" type="int">101</item>

Located the section of the cfg file you mentioned, but still not sure on what to modify and a google search drew blank. Can you provide an example please? ( I don't have Uningine Heaven installed).

I'm trying to figure out what these key codes are as they don't seem to be the standard ones or the ASCII ones from what I've looked up. And my Unigine Heaven config file doesn't have any controls in it even if I change them.

Oil Rush game uses the same engine and it does have rebindable keys, we might decipher those codes with it (assign a key, compare configuration file changes)
Or may be Flying Cafe could at least give us the key codes

[Tyrilha]

I used Heaven benchmark to get the key
For an azerty keyboard those key should change controls_key_0, controls_key_2 & controls_key_6.
BUT
I tried to change that in cradle.cfg, gameprofile.data and cradle.cfg from Cradle folder in My documents, all without luck. :(

I know I can use the language bar, but I shouldn't have to do that

[Ztark]

I changed the config file but it didn't matter in the Game. Next I used AutoHotKey to rebind the keys and that does work BUT approximately every 30 seconds or so the game does a flash and locks on the last key you were pressing so you have to press it again to get it to stop. It mostly works but as you can see it is a little clunky.

[KripTed]

to release a game without the ability to change controls is just ludicrous. have fun giving money back to some of your customers :)
