Key mappings: What is your strategy?

[cyberius]

How do people setup thier controls? I use:

 

mouse for aiming

mouse button 1 for primary fire

mouse button 2 for (middle) for switching saber styles

mouse button 3 for secondary fire

 

mouse wheel for switching weapons

 

keypad:

8 = forward

5 = back

4 = strafe left

6 = strafe right

Enter = jump

.(DEL) = crouch

0(INS) = Use

/ = next force power

* = use current force power

+ = next item

 

Main keyboard:

PGDN = saber

PGUP = Force Speed

Enter = Use Item

 

 

I have been playing around with trying to use different keys for force powers, but I am not sure what to do at this point.

 

Anyone have a different method that works really well for them?

 

Thanks!

I use these:

 

End= Jump

Pgdn= Use Item

Del= Crouch

Ins= Turns off the saber

Hm= Saberstyle

Pgup= Force Speed

 

Up Arrow= Move forward

Down Arrow= Move back

Left Arrow= Step left

Right Arrow= Step right

 

Keypad

1= Force push

4= Force pull

7= Force grip

5= Force lightining

3= Mind control

 

Main Key's

Enter= Heal

B= Bacta

[= Scroll through items

]- Scroll through items

\= Use item

M= Infared goggles

G= Electrobenacular goggles

 

Mouse

Right Button= Main use

Left Button= Alt use

Wheel= Scroll weapons

 

These have worked for me and I am use to them so I don't if it will work for you.

i'm mostly a rts player. so my keys are probably not the most efficient. but it works for me.

insert=use current force

home=force push

page up=force grip

page down=turn right

delete=trun left

ctrl=jump

space=use (for switches)

keypad 0=crouch

keypad 1=lightsaber

keypad 4=pull

keypad 2=mind trick

arrow left=strafe left

arrow right=strafe right

mouse wheel(scrolling)=cycle weapons

mouse wheel(pressed)=force heal

the rest are just the game's default.

Everyboby has a weird style so it all good if you can use it to play a game. When I go over to my friends I change the buttons cause I'm use to my style not other people. I hate to have to go around the keyboard looking for buttons when they can be so close.

I've just put the force commands down at the main part of the keyboard. Works great for me.

 

F-Push

B-Pull

Y-Speed

M-Mind Trick

H-Heal

G-Grip

M-Lightning

 

V-Drain

C-Absorb

 

X-Taunt

 

I use the standard WSAD buttons to move, so i can reach all the force powers with the left thumb or the "second finger" (dunno what its called )

 

And when i got the F-buttons free, i am now using them for NPC spawning in SP, and binds in MP.

Just had an inspiration last night :-) and now am trying out a new key-layout:

 

Movement:

W - forward

A - left

S - back

D - right

Spacebar - jump

Shift - crouch

Ctrl - walk

 

Mouse:

Left button - primary fire

Right button - secondary

Mouse wheel - Saber style (although may change to weapon select, if I can click the mouse wheel without rotating it ;-> )

 

Force:

F - Pull

E - Push (e= expel)

R - Grip (r=root in place)

Q - Speed (q= quick)

Z - Mind trick (makes 'em go zzzz)

C - Lightning

F5 - Force heal

X - drain (= to niX their powers)

V - absorb (next to Lightning, as antidote to it)

 

Others:

B - Bacta

T - Use (since you don't usually "use" when fighting)

 

Number keys: weapons

 

But now I see Lionen's key config, and I'm so impressed I might try out his :-)
