UnrealJedi Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I know this sounds like a dumb question, but there is no way to pull off all the tricks I've seen posted here, if you use the keyboard. What gaming peripherals do you guys use? Or if you are using the keyboard, how do you have your keys bound??? I've gotten pretty far in the game, but I am at a point where I have to use Force Powers rapidly, and it sucks having to stop moving, look at the keyboard, press F2 or F7, etc.... So, out with it, what gaming pads or keyboard layouts is everyone using?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Definitely a keyboard and a mouse for me. I used to play with a joystick and mouse years ago, but it just never really worked out for me. Personally, I mapped the force powers to the 1-0 keys at the top, and put the weapons on the F keys. I found I used force powers a whole lot more than I switched weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morilibus Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I use Forward= E strafe L = W strafe R = mouse2(right button) backwards = D Jump = R duck = Space use = alt walk/run= a reload(not needed in this game)= f then z,x,c,v,b,g,t for the force powers. Shift = third person first person switch Tab = mission breifing mouse1=primary attack Mouse3=use binocs mouse4=secondary attack (thumb button) mouse5= use item (pinky button) mwheelup=next weapon mwheeldown=prev weapon I'm useing a razor boomslang gaming mouse. I basically utilize all the buttons on the left sid of my keyboard, I have one of those split keyboards. but with all that I still suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSagan Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I just use the standard FPS layout with a two-button scroll-wheel mouse. However, I also use Game Commander voice command software for force powers and inventory items. Works like a charm. If you aren't familiar with GC, basically it uses voice recognition to map phrases to macros. I just say "push" or "speed" and it sends the keystrokes to execute that command to the game. It will also automatically load the command set for whatever program is in the foreground. All you need is the software (http://www.gamecommander.com), a decent sound card, and a noise-cancelling microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 keyboard and mouse.... I didn't realy remap and keys except for use and jump so that it would be closer to my hand so i wouldn't have to move all the time... I remaped lighting and chock but that was because i liked to use them in fights not because i needed to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Movement for me is the standard WASD with mouse aiming. I have an Intellimouse explorer with M4 as Pull and M5 as Push, Q as speed, R as mind trick, T as grip, H as heal, and V as lightning. I've never been a mousewheel person so I just leave it alone ...

tempest8008 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Same as above....except I use the wheel to switch Force Powers, then standard F for the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadWR Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I remapped my force powers to the weapon keys, and the weapons to forcepowers keys. It seems faster to me due to the fact that I use force more than I change my weapons after I get my lightsaber!!! The VC sounds like a great idea too! Considering I already have eveything but the software!! I'm going to look in to that one... Thanks! ~Nomad~ Nomad's Place II P.S. For those of you that have been to my site: I'm going to spend some time this weekend to set up a few pages for JK2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
