Changing input configuration...for the master list?
Changing input configuration...for the master list?
As the title suggests, is there any way to change your configuration to what buttons browse the master list, or tron menus in general. My down arrow key hasn't worked for about a year now due to overheating issues with my laptop. I had been getting by with my up arrow searching through but recently my dog decided "hey, I don't like your keyboard" and voila my up arrow key is now missing. I'd rather not have to make a macro to browse the menus, so wondering if there's any way to edit this.
bye

Numpad arrows FTW!

Consider replacing your laptop's keyboard with another compatible one. If you don't want it to overheat in the first place, be sure there is a proper airflow through the computer, and that the fan isn't clogged with dirt. Make sure the CPU is firmly attached to the heat sink (with the thermal paste in the middle).Magi wrote:As the title suggests, is there any way to change your configuration to what buttons browse the master list, or tron menus in general.

Sorry, no, there is no way to remap those keys in the game. If you're unable to solve the hardware problem, you'll have to hack the keymap on the OS level.

The overheating is no longer a problem, I fixed that a year ago, unfortunately it had already done its damage, since there is some relatively messed up pieces to my keyboard I think I'm just going to look into getting it replaced, they're only like 15 bucks.aP|Nelg wrote: Consider replacing your laptop's keyboard with another compatible one.

Alright well I'll just get by with remapping the keys through autohotkey, thanks anyways thoughZ-Man wrote:Sorry, no, there is no way to remap those keys in the game. If you're unable to solve the hardware problem, you'll have to hack the keymap on the OS level.

Re: Changing input configuration...for the master list?
Maybe you know how to compile the source? Then you can edit the following file. This should be the fix to your issue. Well, at least the fix you're looking for.
ui/uMenu.cpp
Note, the line numbers may differ a little for you, but that should get you close enough.
ui/uMenu.cpp
Code: Select all
Line 412: case(SDLK_UP):
Line 416: case(SDLK_DOWN):

I get the feeling I might just break more stuff, thanks for looking into it anyways though Light

Re: Changing input configuration...for the master list?
If you already compile the source to get the game, it's a very small change to what you already do. I guess you have the other option of keymapping though. Just thought I'd give a bit of an easier idea to just avoid them all together.Magi wrote:I get the feeling I might just break more stuff, thanks for looking into it anyways though Light
Good luck.

most joystick configuration programs offer keyboard equivalents, and also offer you to use the keyboard as the joypad.
