Key bindings are aweful!

jasonyuro

Firstly the game is looking great and I hope to play it quite a bit, after spending about 5 hours playing in the last 2 days the one thing that is driving me nuts is the crappy key binding.

I'm sure you must be aware of this from others?

(1) Change it so you can only bind a key to one thing (unless they are mutually exclusive between aliens/marines) ... frustrating as hell when you have the same key bound twice and it seems to me that each game it randomly selects which of the two functions it will give you.
-- I've had to bind wacky keys like F9 to things mid game to get the system to even recognize the command.

(2) Previous weapon bind?

Sounds minor but its frustrating as hell.

Known issues, but they ran out of keys to use in the engine (32 in total), both issues you mentioned are going to come sometime after v1.0 on Halloween

First thanks for the replies, after the official release I thought I would see if this was fixed an it kind of is, turns read and wont allow double binds. Unfortunately now it will not let me bind back the original key (L) to move right. I hope you guys fix this as its crap, I am searching the hard drive for the config file so I can edit this myself.

I tried "bind L +right" and a number of other permutations but I just dont know the command. Is there a link to the bindable commands as I can see doing this myself is going to be my best bet ....

Thanks
Jason
