Right Mouse Button Binding

[Ovrlord Etna]

I unbound parry from RMB so I could assign Fury to it because the combat felt weird and kept hitting the wrong buttons. Now I cannot bind any button to it because when I RMB it goes back in the menu. Is there a workaround or something. Currently can't play the game cause of this.

I hate to say this but I don't think the game is actually playable with a mouse and keyboard. I tried for a few minutes and just plugged in my Xbox controller. The works perfectly although I hate the way you trigger special attacks.

I had a similar problem for a while. There is a workaround but it is somewhat involved.

1. Open Greedfall and reset keybindings (idk if this step is required but its what i did) and then close it
2. Goto /{game file location}/Greedfall/packs
3. Open the "data.spk" file with 7zip (or similar)
4. Goto input folder in the data.spk file
5. Copy the "inputs_explore_fight.sli" to /{game file location}/Greedfall/datalocal
6. Open "inputs_explore_fight.sli" and edit required hotkeys with text editor

Also, when rebinding dodge from this file please remember to rebinding sprint as well or it won't have an effect.

Edit: i stupid

This work around did not seem to do anything for me. The sli file changes are not reflected in the game interface remapping section and don't work when trying to use them in game.

Did you rebind/remove the previous "mouse_right" "button channel"?
(Also did you save the file after the changes?)

@AiryLibra - Thanks be to the Gods!! It worked for me, you realize this has been a problem since launch, right?
I'm a lefty and the mouse button bind was driving me nuts

I dont own the game (damn it... I want it so badly, lol) but(!) if you guys have mouse and keyboard software that comes with your peripherals then you can bind them directly through them. I guess you didnt have that but maybe someone reading this will find it useful. Like some games says "F" for block, lets say, and it wont let you change it and you want it on the mouse. Then i open my Razer mouse software and go into the editing and tell the mouse that right mouse button is now "F" so when i click my right button it sends the keyboard "F" signal and i block with my right mouse button.

Ah but Greedfall Hard-bound the RMB to "back" in the menus, as well as some other keys, that actually work in game and for the menus. If you hardcode your RMB to "F" then clicking it will not work in the menus as the RMB for "back". That's part of the issue.

The LMB for instance is "attack" but you can still click on things in the menus with LMB.... they are dual use. They just overlooked that trying to map RMB in the mapping interface (a menu) backs you up instead.

My man, you're the man
(or woman)

If you want to swap parrying and dodging the character strings you are looking for are SKILL_BLOCK SKILL_DODGE and SKILL_SPRINT for skills, and shift and mouse_right for the button channels. Also you have to reset the bindings to default in game for this file to be loaded (there must be some overwrite somewhere if you change).

Why is there this convention in most 3D games, even triple As, that the most timing-critical skill, dodging/dashing, is assigned to... the left pinkie. Who the heck has the coordination to dodge properly with the left pinkie, especially during 15-min boss fights ? Remapped dodging to right click and steamrolled through the Arena as soon as I landed in New Serene (got the magic shadow dodge in the middle, very fun... maybe not balanced for a right-click-assigned dodge).

It's 2023, this issue still happen. Amazing. Uninstall. Refund.
