DarthScourge Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hello- I'm a n00b, at have a question about keyboard layouts. I want to change my layout because the default layout is mostly useless. For instance, one of the saber moves calls for C+FORWARD+PRIMARY ATTACK. I can't pull this off. My right hand is on the mouse, with my index finger on primary attack. My left hand is on the directional keypad, and there is no way I can stretch my pinky over to the C key. Anywho, it is also difficult to reach the strafe buttons with my left hand while manipulating the directional keys... I sometimes hit the ? button, or I hit the Alt (secondary attack) key when reaching for the spacebar (jump key). Why would they make the set up so useless????? Forget about the force keys, I have to stop moving to get to those Anywho, I know most people remap the keyboard, but I was just wondering if there is a standard remap you guys use, or what you have found to be the best remapping. Also, when you're dueling, do you use the mouse, or strictly the keyboard? It seems akward sacrificing a whole hand to the mouse, but I can't imagine dueling without the quick dynamic movement the mouse supplies. Thx, Darth Scourge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicRoach Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Alright.... I am by no means normal but this is what I use: Mouse button 2 - move forward Mouse button 1 - attack Mouse button 3 - alt. attack (which is my wheel) A & D - strafe S - backwards Space - jump CRTL - duck L - stance P - take picture G - Taunt F1 - push F2 - pull The other force powers and a few misc. items I have game commander (voice control) setup to handle. Like heal, protect, absorb... few others. That way I can just speak what I need and have it done for me. Roach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GosU-ChoBo Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I have a five button mouse to help here, but it's not really necessary. I only use one button that's not on a normal mouse, and that one's not even really necessary. Anyway, to the configuration. Mouse 1 - Attack Mouse 2 - Secondary Attack Mouse 3 - Jump Mouse Wheel Up/Down - Cycle Through Force Powers Up arrow - Move Forward Down arrow - Move Backward Left arrow - Strafe Left Right arrow - Strafe Right Keypad Insert (0) - Duck Keypad Home (7) - Taunt Mouse 4 (Certain mice only) - Change Stance Control (Ctrl) - Use Force Power Keypad End (1) - Force Heal Keypad Left (4) - Force Protect Shift - Force Absorb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karikaru Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 this is my current lay out, i may change it a little to make force powers easier to switch ctrl- duck shift- jump enter- use force left- strafe left right- strafe right forward/back- forward/back 1 mouse button- prim. atk mouse 2- 2nd attack wheel- spin changes wep; click changes saber stance z and x- cycle through forces s and d- cycle through items a- use item r- taunt i may make [ and ] to be heal and push or change them to forward and previous force and use \ as a hotkey for push (always have to have push to fend off evil force grippers) using the direction buttons is easier for me than the keypad. sometimes you take your fingers off the keys and you have to be able to find your place without looking so having keys that are easy to find are good. I like my layout, because i can do all the running, jumping, crouching/rolling with one hand. i just use mouse look to navigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMagic Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Personally I like the letters WASD over the arrows. There are more keys within hands reach. If you set it up right you don't have to move your keyboard hand at all. If you are going to use the arrows at least remap left and right to the strafe commands instead of useless turn. If you turn your mouse sensitivity up a little you never need turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Lain Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Originally posted by GosU-ChoBo I wasn't aware that people ever stopped using arrows... I don't see the disadvantage. the disadvantage is, that most of the keys around the arrows are too far away, you get alot more keys which are closer when using something like w,s,a,d You can form your keys, after your hand, making it alot more comfterble, and easier to use.
