Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

[iggy21]

Im trying to manunally re-assign my controls and a like my heli to 'steer right/left' using the mouse. The default for 'roll left/right' is the 'mouse axis'.
When i delete that control, and try to assign one of the 'mouse axis to the 'steer left/right control, i get NOTHING. As if the game wont recognize that my mouse is moving. This really sux since i love flying, and now i cant :cry: . Does anyone now how i can get around ths? THANK YOU!!!!

Re: Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

You're able to assign other buttons properly though, right?

You may have to manually edit you controls.con.

Re: Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

I can assign all other buttons properly, except any of the 'mouse axis'. I get no errors for 'double assigning' buttons.

How do you edit the control console?

Re: Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

It's a file called 'controls.con'

C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Controls.con

If you have more than 1 profile, you may have to check under the other profiles subdirectories.

Re: Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

Sorry...I wasn't clear either. You don't do anything in the game. You don't do anything with the console (~).

You simply load up windows notepad and edit this file:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Controls.con

Edit this section anc change the mouse axes to your liking:

ControlMap.create HelicopterPlayerInputControlMap
ControlMap.addKeysToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFKeyboard IDKey_D IDKey_A 0
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_2 0 1
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFMouse IDAxis_1 0 0
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_1 1 1
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFMouse IDAxis_0 0 0
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_0 0 1

If that doesn't work, delete the controls.con file and load up BF2 and see if you can bind the mouse axes again.

Haha Talus you are going to end up ruining his BF2 :P. No, I think Talus is onto something so it should work.

Re: Help w/ asigning Controls!!!!

i was hoping there was a script file that i could edit, ... So, this is what i did:

-I located the control.con file (and double checked it was the correct one)
-I copied it(incase i messed something up)
-I found the lines for the controls i want to change (in the active (not copied) file)
-I changed the lines:

Replace:

ControlMap.addKeysToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFKeyboard IDKey_D IDKey_A 0

with

ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFMouse IDAxis_1 0 0

-I double checked for double mapped controls
-saved
-played BF2
-Checked to see it it worked
-failed miserably.....:cry:
