Keyboard Mapping

[V7 Entertainment]

Alright folks! Keyboard support is in. It might not be perfect, but it is a good start. Please go to the GameConfig.ini file in the game folder and change the PlayerIndex value to 0, 1, 2, or 3, depending on which player you want the keyboard support for. A value of -1 disables Keyboard support completely which is set by default. Please change the keyboard mapping to whatever you feel like, two button and retro modes work best. Advanced gets a bit too crazy and we might need an updated solution for that.

Classical one from NHL93 on PC (arrows and alt-pass/change/hook, space-shoot/check/accelerate). However, as it is standard, It would be beneficial, if it could be changed in setup (I can’t remember game where it was not possible). Thus I don’t know, what kind of controls are necessary to use to fully enjoy the game. So It will be nice to see also controller controls options before answering. As they are nearly no lets plays on manual information I can’t answer “correctly. PS.: I’m able to play PES 2017 using 75% of controller options (arrows and qweasd,r,f,shift ,space).

COOOL!

Trying to remember what we had on NHL 97-98-99...

Played with arrows and had keys for:

- pass / switch player
- shoot / hook
- speed burst with the puck / speed burts + body check
- some kind of spin-o-rama or deke / block shot by laying on the ice
Anything else?

Don't remember what keys where used for fighting but there was: jab punch, hook punch and... I think grab jersey(?)

On the Mario Lemieux Ice hockey game on SEGA ther was a combo of two buttons that wolud make the other guy having a cartoonish facial expression with bulging eyes. ;-)

Then ther where also buttons for changing lines, changing strategy, pulling the goalie (?)

Would be logic to be able to edit the keys, I suppose. ;-)

Hello OTH fans! Could the folks who wanted Keyboard support respond in this thread about your preferences for the mapping. We can take those into consideration before we roll out the update!

I strongly suggest a button remap and allowing ANY button remap, even to mouse.

I also suggest to wait for full release if you really want suggestion for keyboard mapping as the game has some cool feature you discover the more you play, to not spoil anything

Would like to see any button including mouse supported. As a big MMO player, I'd like to see at min, a,s,d,w for movement and 0 - 9 for moves.

as long as wasd keys are for moving ill be happy,

W-A-S-D control is ok, but I consider it left-handed. Lately I've preferred arrow keys for control, F-D-S-A-Spacebar (NHL'09 controls) as that set up is better suited for those of us who are Old School right-handers. And I mean Old School as in Atari 2600, before the "lefty gamepad" Nintendo movement.

I prefer Arrow Keys too for Racing/Platformers/etc... am also old school so WASD for these types of games seems left handed too. Maybe if we can't map our own keys - have an option to chose WASD or Arrow Keys for movement.

L3 / Left Stick Button is to hustle in two button, retro, and beer modes. In Advanced preset it its the A button. Spam it a bit to get it going. Let us know if you are still running into problems :)

Or perhaps I-J-K-L control for us old Apple //e users who didn't have the luxury of Arrow Keys.

I pretty much came to post this. Also if it hasn't been suggested already, maybe an alternate control mode where you use the mouse to move and can assign whatever keys (including mouse buttons) to passing/shooting/etc. I'm dying to play a current hockey game on pc instead of the old NHL games with their awful layouts and m/kb control are what will set these two apart.

Excellent point, Jack. I agree!
