Hard-coded keyboard configurations?

Re: Hard-coded keyboard configurations?

You can also buy a G15 keyboard :). It comes with extra macro keys which you are able to customize to fit your needs...

Thanks, but no thanks. My ten year old keyboard is still kicking just fine

Yes, unfortunately you'll have to manually edit the controls.con file under your My Documents\Battlefield 2 profile directory.

Yeah, I found my way there and just wiped the keybindings for insert, home, delete and end. Now I can bind them to whatever I want, but another problem emerged. If I want to bind moving forward to my right mouse button, I can't bind moving backward to the End key, or any other key on the keyboard. It seems that I have to move forward and backward either by using only mouse, or by using only keyboard, not both. That's just great, I wonder what the developers were thinking when they created all these stupid restrictions.

Just make a backup of it first, have a good read through it to get used to the syntax, and then make some edits and try them out.

This is a common problem with BF2. I couldn't bind the left SHIFT key to crouch as BF2 kept telling me it was bound to another function, when it wasn't. Search the forum, as I remember some users advising on which config file you can manually edit to fix the problem.

Re: Hard-coded keyboard configurations?

you can fully customise the button config, if there is a button already in use that u want you have to find it and delete it. Then you can reasign it to what ever you want.

Well, so far I have been able to bind Page Up and Page Down to the actions i want, but for Insert, Home, Delete and End the game still says "Duplicate key found in Common Controls" even though those are nowhere to be seen, unless I'm missing something :/

For my keyboard layout in FPS games I need Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End and Page Down -keys. However, some of these seem to be hard-coded for some actions in Battlefield 2, or are they? Is there a way I can "free" for example Home-key, so I can use it for whatever action I like, or is the action for it really hard-coded in the game?
