changing the direction keys

Post by Jtarz »

I'd like to change the N, E, S and W direction keys back to the up, right, down and left arrow keys as they were in Eschalon 1. How would I refer to those keys when updating the general.cfg file with Textedit?

thanks

I'd also like to know the answer to this - I'm playing on a MacBook Pro (= no numeric keypad)

With a bit of trial and error I got them to work as follows:

walk_ne=arrowup
walk_se=arrowright
walk_sw=arrowdown
walk_nw=arrowleft

(paste this directly below "walk_nw=keypad7" in the general.cfg file)

Those are the directions I prefer but you can of course change them so that the up arrow sends you directly north, for example.

Cool - thanks for this! :)
