Remapping controlls...

Posted by Xiphon - May 17th, 2010


Ok so...
I've been working on the Canthos control scheme here, and I know people said that it needed to be better (though, thinking about it now, nobody really mentioned a good way to change it, or what to make it to)

I've tried remapping movement to ASDW for jumps and left and right, to make way for the mouse to control the grapple, but this locks your left hand to just controling left and right, there's a LOT of left and right running in this game. People were saying make UP to jump, but that's also hard to control because you have to hit up + down to do slams, and than UP = wall jumping? that seems a bit odd, i want to press up to climb UP walls, not jump off of them to the side, it doesn't really make any sense.
This also means that other convinient keys near ASDW that people said would be great to use as attack and grab controls really can't be used anyway. Q,R,F,V, and R, though near enough for my pointer finger to hit conviniently, mean i HAVE to stop pressing A or D to press, essentially i have to stop running or moving to grab or attack anything, which i'm gonna say it, is pretty retarded. And i aint makin no retarded games...

That said, i'm re-mapping controls back to their original state. I'm making LEFT and RIGHT to run left or right, DOWN to crouch, UP to stand. SPACE is jump and double jump, and CTRL is attack. the only key i'm probably gonna remap is Grapple, since pressing shift a bunch causes issues on windows.

I never had a problem with the controls as I got used to them. I guess most people out there are just picky about such minor issues because they're used to something different. I personally used the Ctrl button on the right side of the keyboard, and that worked out just fine.
