Vertical Strafing

Sun Jun 03, 2007 3:52 pm by fox Unit 01

Alright, I have a problem that's existed since the beginning of 88 Flak. Whenever someone goes to strafe up, they must first strafe left or right. Very annoying.

keymap.ini
<pre>[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
ids_name = 458859
ids_info = 459859
state = keydown, keyup
[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN
ids_name = 458860
ids_info = 459860
state = keydown, keyup
[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_LEFT
ids_name = 1956
ids_info = 3228
state = keydown, keyup
key = "A"
key = 37
[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_RIGHT
ids_name = 1957
ids_info = 3229
state = keydown, keyup
key = "D"
key = 39</pre>

keylist.ini
<pre>[key
id = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_LEFT
[key
id = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_RIGHT
[key
id = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
[key
id = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN</pre>
Like I said, to strafe up, one must first strafe left, right, or down (which functions perfectly). Clearly, I'm doing something wrong here. Anyone have any ideas? O_o

give up and down default key assignments like the others? thats the only difference i see that could cause it - also the 'key = #' lines appear to be unnecessary or redundant as they can be omitted without any problems

also, the IDS numbers are new - that may have something to do with it;
the pre-existing unused IDS's are:

{KeyCmd}
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
ids_name = 1958
ids_info = 3300
state = keydown, keyup
key = "W"

{KeyCmd}
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN
ids_name = 1959
ids_info = 3301
state = keydown, keyup
key = "S"

that ought to do it =)

Tried it, didn't seem to help (thanks anyways though). Haven't other mods done this in the past without problems?

[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
ids_name = 1958
ids_info = 3228
state = keydown, keyup
key = "K"

[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN
ids_name = 1959
ids_info = 3229
state = keydown, keyup
key = "L"

that works for us

It took downloading the ECS and using ConText's "compare" function to find that I'd mis-spelled:

<pre>[KeyMap
nickname = IDR_SPACE
(blah blah)
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_LEFT
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_RIGHT
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN</pre>
as
<pre>[KeyMap
nickname = IDR_SPACE
(blah blah)
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_LEFT
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_RIGHT
ker = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_UP
key = USER_MANEUVER_SLIDE_EVADE_DOWN</pre>
I am completely retarded. Thanks for all the help guys, I really appriciate it. =D
