Z - board

[Armitage]

I got I nice new shiny Z board for Christmas.

All works well except the Jump/Parachute key. which wants 2 actions bound to the same key, but BF2 will not let me do this.

Has anybody got this to work properly

[Blunt]

yup...




I posted the instructions somewhere....

hang on a minute, I'll have a look

btw...can you alt-tab with your BF2 keyset?...cos I can't

[Armitage]

my alt-tab works ok

[Blunt]

hmmm....

I've posted on the zboard forums but I may as well of not bovvered....waste of space.

anyways....parachute/jump key works if you do the following....

Go to your My Documents folder and look for:


Battlefield 2\Profiles\000* (mine is 0001)

Open the Controls.con with Notepad. (Make a copy first)

Change this line:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_9 10000 0

to this:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PIWeaponSelect9 IDFKeyboard IDKey_Space 10000 0

Save



it worked a treat for me

[Blunt]

I like mine Norm...

I even like the feel of the keys :blush:

I couldn't play BF2 without it....but I might consider an eclipse combo or nostromo next time I need 1

[Armitage]

cheers m8, that worked

How are you faring with the zboard Armi?

have you tried to alt-tab in game yet?

can you scroll-x for xfire messages?

I still love mine, but I would like to have all the usual functions. <_<

[Armitage]

yeah the alt tab works ok/

I'm still getting used to the key layout. It will take weeks if I ever want to go back to a standard keyboard :blink: .

one question have you edited the layout for the command comm rose and the change kit key?

one question have you edited the layout for the command comm rose and the change kit key?

No I'm quite happy where they are...except I sometimes hit comm rose key when I want to switch to single shot (3)...but it's not that much of a problem

I have changed the comms button though...the default comms key is for SL to CO comms...so I changed it in BF2 options...

I had to select CO comms channel 1st and change it to backspace, then change Squad comms to the key of my choice(B ), then change CO comms back to v.

I find that after Tox has been using my rig, eg night before last, the next time I play my settings have changed back... :blink:

have you tried changing them over in-game options?
