Control mapping help

[senor]

when i first got and installed BF2, and in all the subsequent patches i could map all the keys i needed for the different functions in common/land/air/helo/boat controls. specifically i had left shift as crouch, and as afterburner for jets

i recently had to uninstall and reinstall and now in 1.22 it wont let me map left shift to anything, the game keeps insisting that it is overlapping with other control sections, but even when i clear the 'left shift' key from all other sections it still insists it is in conflict with a key under helicopter controls. I even tried completely un-binding all the keys from all the helo controls and it still complains (except for the mouse axis binds).

anyone else have a problem like this? and is there any way to fix it? ive uninstalled/reinstalled twice now and it still wont let me.

though i dont think i actually tried binding it the way i want before installing the 1.22 patch, but what the hell are the developers doing if they cant get simple key-mapping coded right.

Re: Control mapping help

Go into your Controls.con folder and edit them there. That should work.

Re: Control mapping help

ok cool thank you, ill try it

err... im still having a little trouble, which file is it exactly? i noticed there are quite a few control.con and (air/infantry/land/heli/common/sea).con files

any clue as to which file in particular would be greatly appreciated, i tried to test it and find the correct file based on the key bindings but they all seemed to be the same

thanks

ya ive just messed with it some more, editing every .con file that listed LeftShift as a key, and no luck

any clues? its gotta be in their somewhere but im stumped

ya, i just edited every .con file that looked like it might have to do with controls, and i deleted any line of code with LeftShift in it (i made backups first) and it didnt seem to affect BF2 at all, anyone have a clue as to which specific file it might be? its gotta be in there somewhere but im lost

Bringing nack an older thread. Having the same problem. Had to re-install, and did the full 1.2 patch. Now I cant bind Right Control to Crouch. I've edited it in the controls.con file, and nothing. Any ideas??
