Keybindings

[GnArZx]

hi,
i have a problem, i play with the arrow keys instead of wasd. now i want to bind firing mode to "page up". when i click on save it jumps to "shift+page up". i tried many other keys, scum changes it everytime to "shift+key".

following line is in the inputsettings.ini

ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleWeaponFiringMode",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=PageUp)


any ideas?

No ideas, but I really, really hate it when devs for any game lock any of the game controls so that you can't remap them to a different key, or change their input style entirely. I really don't see any need for doing that, as what does it matter to them if i want to use plain old NUMPAD2 for some action, instead of 'shift+something'?

Similarly to you, i don't use the WASD system, but I use the numpad itself as my hand base for all the games I play. The shift keys and alt and ctrl keys are all hard to reach for me, so I never use them if I don't have to. Being forced to have to use any of those keys in order to perform an action, really just ticks me off.

Please, devs, stop forcing people to use keys they don't want to, for any game control actions... not everybody uses their keyboards in the same way, and we should be able to map any action we want to any key we want. Please don't assume everyone playing your game is happily clicking away with the WASD method... because some (many?) of us are not. Thanks.

interesting thing about this problem, before the last patch it worked flawless with the keybindings.
i even have my black widow keyboard still illuminated to the "old" settings.

Try a macro program maybe?

It would be a lot simpler if the devs just stopped locking actions to one key so that you can't rebind them................

when they changed the binding for item rotation (something i waited ages for) i was no longer able to use it and that killed the game off for me. im still (a little) hopeful it will be custom keybinding soon so i can get back into some hardcore Scum its been a few months now.

all games dev's should make their their games with custom keybindings, it's "key" to making a game accessible to everyone and giving the player choice rarely go's wrong.

idk if the use of a macro is okay for something like custom controls?

you must be lh like me, just bind it to left shift and you don't need to press or hold 2 keys at once

The input file gets F'd up sometimes. Delete the input file. Reload the game.

Shut it down and then edit the newly generated input file.

You can try this for now. I've forwarded this thread to people in charge so they will take a look and hopefully resolve it.

See if they'll allow us to remap any keys we want to our own preferences while you're at it? Thanks :-)

Thanks, Bunny! I have been doing that fix for some time. That bug doesn't always happen. I think a cause is changing mappings in game.

For example, typically when I make a mistake or decide to try a different button to control something in the game mapping and change the mapping from one keybind to another and then that keybind won't work.

At that point even editing the input file won't work. But after I delete the input file and work with the newly generated one all is fixed.

thats the thing i love about scum: active devs! go on guys, you get this right.

problem solved.

in the input.ini file i just changed "bShift=":

ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleWeaponFiringMode",bShift=True,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=PageUp)

into:

ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleWeaponFiringMode",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=PageUp)

now it works like i want again
