[REQ] Fully reconfigure controls?

Post by AesmaDiv »

Hellol! I`m new in here and here is the thing..
I used to play on arrow keys area, i can`t use WASD for some reason, so in every game i reconfigure controls. But X4 is really unfriendly in this way and here is why:
RShift / RCtrl i usualy use as Jump / Crouch, and i wanted to bind it to Strafe up/Strafe down, but its seams to be impossible, because game uses Shift / Ctrl only as modificator keys.
I cannot rebind numpad keys. They are in controls section, i changed binding, but its still controls camera views. The only way i managed to fix that is deleting strings in control config file.
Hardcoded controls is big problem. I mean very big problem.
Can i hope for future patch, that allow me to fully reconfigure all controls, including mouse buttons (Right, Left, Middle)? It will make game much more user friendly and more enjoyable.. Struggling with unfamiliar controls kills half of it.

ps. using third party software such as autohotkey is not an option for me.

Hi

I am having the same issue. I would also like ALL controls to be configurable.

Also, if you assign RMB to some action(e.g. shooting with primary weapons), the RMB pop-up menu will annoy you like hell.

And in "All controls" I am including joystick buttons and axis. Do not force any axis or button, we need a blank canvas. Currently the game forces in-game menu control to an emulated mouse on a stick mini-joystick. These often do not even have a dead zone setting in their drivers. I should be able to decline using the stick in menus if I want to use a mouse. I have yet to see a Windows PC with only a joystick and no keyboard nor mouse.

Same here. Can`t play X4 cause of this reason. MMB or LMB+RMB shooting is awesome!

I’d be happy if when I click to reconfigure a control on the fly it didn’t automatically assign the joystick throttle. It means you have to do everything twice and then at the end go back and reasign the throttle control.

That must have been picked up in testing the first time anyone with a joystick throttle tried to change a key, No good reason for it making it through to release.
