Remap keyboard

Kmieciu · 07-25-2007, 05:35 PM

Is it possible to remap keyboard ? Maybe in config file ? I hate WSAD layout, it hurts my fingers, I'd like to change it to much more comfortable RFEG.

If you use Linux -->xmodmap
if you use windows-->don't know

I forgot about xmodmap

This should do the trick.

EDIT: Well xmodmap didn't worked. Keyboard was remapped (I couldn't type my password :P) but in game there was still WSAD ...

RFEG ?!?

sounds uhm interesting ^^

Well RFEG becouse ... these are the keys that my fingers are laying on when i simply lay my hand on the keyboard. It's much more comfortable during long playing (ahhh sweet memories of whole night fragging :P), but I can feel the difference just after 30 minutes or so...

I did not really look at this script but you should be able to reassign the controll too. One of my clanmates wrote this script

That script is not the solution. Changing your keyboard mapping with xmodmap rearranges your keys, correct. But it will be like that for everything, INCLUDING TYPING in the chat-window.

The game needs an extra configuration menu where you can assign actions to keys.

Right now, the game knows you pressed 'A' and knows it has to turn left because it was programmed that way.

It would be better if, when you press 'A', the game looked up in that config what action goes with 'A' and executed that action, just like what is done in many other games.

I use a dvorak keyboard map and I would like to use
a o e , in stead of a s d w
so a config menu that would allow me to specify this would make me, Kmieciu and many others very happy

No, the script has a key where you can shift to the original keymap:

Code:

That way one could toggle between walking/casting and chating via the Caps Lock-Key

I know... a bit ugly for wars but better then not being able to play (if you're used to the other setup.)
Ups, nope that's not for the script. That would be if you use setxkbmap.
