Hi, as a french player, I'm kind of disappointed... Bought this game because it seemed so promising, well I can't even play because of key mapping... -.- (For english players, try ZQSD on your keyboard and tell me if it is playable ? Hint : No) Customizable key binding is in my opinion one of the first thing to implement... Forget about 15-20% of your customers ? Add foreign keyboards to that... Even a crappy text file would be ok.. Tell me I did not lost 14€ ! Edit : Just saw the number of views and replies of this topic, and you can tell it is a priority.
http://pastebin.com/RkJawQyJ I found this and edited it to fit my needs for keybinds, just run it with Auto Hotkeys.
Right? Even when Minecraft was in Alpha, Notch made sure to have key rebinding in. I mean, I read the latest patch notes and it's great to see that kind of diligence with gameplay tweaking and fixing... I just wish there had been earlier consideration for the 20% of us that can't use WASD setups... lefties, the differently abled, foreign keyboard users, etc.
I didn't understand how to write a script in Auto Hotkeys or how to even begin listing the commands in the game so THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this, I'm going to try it out right now!! You are exceptionally awesome.
I use a hardware DVORAK layout keyboard. Game is not playable because I can't change the controls to something sane.
+1 for being a lefty in need of remapping the keys also +1 for being of the age where I started playing games before WASD took off. I remember playing doom using the arrow keys and Control+alt+space then I moved onto the number pad and never looked back. The number pad has everything you need for any game with added benefit of your thumb reaching the arrow keys. I used to be able to have access to every spell 1 to 12 and move in WOW without moving my right hand from the number pad.
I'd like to use ESDF instead of WASD along with keybindings that are closer to ESDF, so this is definitely something I'd want as well.
+1 Im a left handed player myself and using WASD is quite damned uncomfy for me atm. Its doable, but still id prefer being able to play with a more customized key layout myself.
Also an ESDF keyboarder. It just makes more sense to me, you get an entire extra row of easily accessible keys that way. I can play WASD (and have played enough bad console ports to do so proficiently), I just don't like it. Good game, but keybindings is a surprising option to be missing IMO.
Another left hander here. Even w/ a zboard fang, got to rebind the e and spacebar keys. Let's get this done.
*starts TAB button for inventory campaign* no but um on a more realistic note does any one know if it would be possible to just go into a config file and change the keys like that? if i new which file was for controls and where it is. would be a nice little quick fix till the rebinding got added in for people comfortable to do that
I agree keybinding should be a priority but in the meantime can you please change the drop key from Q to a key such as R or T. As it is now, I tend to accidentally drop items because the Q is next to the movement keys as well as the items on my main action bar keys 1-4 great work on the game, i'm enjoying it immensely!
Is it so hard for devs to use something like If keypress('W') -OR- keypress('up') even if this is only temporary? Oh and don't forget to forget allowing numpad 0-9 for item selection as well! No one ever think about the lefties...
