Spacebar Key Re-Binding Issue

[MRGR74]

I read through a few posts and couldn't find an answer. If I missed it, by all means please post the link and I'll read it.

The default key for "Jump" is spacebar but since I use the arrow keys to move with the mouse in my left hand, the spacebar is effectively too far away to press and so I have it (Jump) rebound to my R.SHIFT key. In-game it works fine and I am able to jump around to my hearts content. However, when I want to jump from one ledge to another or to a building or even just off wherever I'm hanging from, I HAVE to press the spacebar. Otherwise my char will just hang there until my stamina depletes and I drop. Once back on the ground, I am able to jump as usual while pressing the R.SHIFT key. I can jump up onto ledges as well as on & off cars, buildings etc. but if I want to jump from one ledge to another while hanging, my R.SHIFT key resets itself back to spacebar and then once I make the jump, reverts back to my R.SHIFT key. While it may sound simple enough to just press the spacebar then, as I mentioned above, it's too far away from the movement keys and so not a viable option and for me some what game breaking.

I have triple checked and the spacebar isn't secretly bound anywhere. For a game where parkour is a key game play mechanic, its kinda important I am able to jump from ledge to ledge or from a ledge onto a building lol..

Anyone else have this issue and please don't tell me to just use WADS.

Thanks for reading.

Yea some keybinds are hardset, it sucks.

[MrCBlower]

You cannot rebind all the keys and mouse buttons. Many are hard bound, I'm screwed as I use mouse button 2 to jump and have done in games for 25 years, however mouse button 2 is hard bound to block. The fact it in 2022 on PC Techland decided to force us to use the keys they want and not what we want. Unless they fix this rubbish we either have to suck it up or as I plan to do drop the game and move on as I cannot change how I play games after all this time.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ do we have to hack game files to play conveniently?

Frustrating no doubt. Hopefully Techland will address. Until then, the above works.

Well crap. Worked once. Exited game and went back in and same error msg and my jump no longer works. Back to square 1.

I have the same issue.

Cannot jump from ledge to ledge or from a ledge after remapping jump key.

I remapped the default key for "Jump” spacebar to 0 (ins key) on keypad since I use the arrow keys to move with the mouse in my left hand, the default spacebar JUMP is effectively too far away to press and so I have (Jump) rebound to my 0 (ins key) on the key pad. In-game it works fine and I am able to jump around to my heart’s content. However, when I want to jump from one ledge to another or to a building or even just off wherever I'm hanging from, I HAVE to press the spacebar. Otherwise, my character will just hang there until my stamina depletes and I drop. Once back on the ground, I am able to jump as usual while pressing the 0 (ins key). I can jump up onto ledges as well as on & off cars, buildings etc. but if I want to jump from one ledge to another while hanging, my 0 (ins key) resets itself back to spacebar and then once I make the jump, reverts back to my 0 (ins key).
While it may sound simple enough to just press the spacebar then, as I mentioned above, it's too far away from the movement keys and so not a viable option and for me GAME BREAKING.

For a game where parkour is a key game play mechanic, its necessary to be able to jump from ledge to ledge or from a ledge onto a building after remapping a key.

I doubt this will get patched in the next few months and sadly for me and many others a game breaker.

EDIT: - Fixed. Was advised in another post to remove the underscore after RSHIFT and that fixed the problem. Can rebind hard coded keys now. In my case, SPACE to RSHIFT. I can now jump to another ledge with RSHIFT while hanging, where before I had to press the Spacebar even tho it was rebound under Key Bindings. Went from unplayable (for me) to a fun game.

AddAction(_ACTION_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__RSHIFT_, false, true);
AddAction(_ACTION_CLIMB_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__RSHIFT_, false, true);

To

AddAction(_ACTION_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__RSHIFT, false, true);
AddAction(_ACTION_CLIMB_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__RSHIFT, false, true);

Remove the underscore after you enter in the key you want to rebind. For example, I just changed SPACE for Jump to NUMPAD0 (O INS) for Jump and just tested it ingame. If I press NUMPAD0, I jump. If I climb up a wall or a lamp post and press NUMPAD0, my character jumps. Copy and paste what I edited below. :)

AddAction(_ACTION_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__NUMPAD0, false, true);
AddAction(_ACTION_CLIMB_JUMP, EInputTarget_Player, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__NUMPAD0, false, true);

Of course always make a backup of the inputs_gesture.scr file located here --> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2/ph/source/data0.pak/scripts/inputs/

[ChrisX5]

I appreciate all your help MRGR74 I have no scrips or inputs folder under the install directory.

I have it on another drive.
E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2/ph/source.

The directory ends there with data0.pak files. No /scripts/inputs/folders

I searched the whole computer for nputs_gesture.scr and NADA.

[ChrisX5]

I got it working!!! Techland and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment owes me some free DLC for the last hour it took me to find a fix for this.

You will need a program like WinZip (I use 7-Zip) to open the data archive. So get one of these if you don’t have one.

Next find your DL2 Data file and open it with previously mentioned program.

[ChrisX5]

I see you have to do this "AGAIN" after the 1.4 update.
