Remapping keys broken by accident?

Postby Memto » 19 Jan 2013, 23:49

I like to use the ctrl+l hotkey a lot, but it was dangerous since ctrl+k is too close. So i got gaz_ui and remapped the self-destruct to ctrl+alt+y, which is much harder to press by accident. This setup worked fine until today when my acu suddenly blew up in ladder. I had already won the game. When i look at the gaz_ui's settings, it still says that the hotkey for self-destruct is ctrl+alt+y, but it also says that ctrl+k "is already mapped to another action..." even though it's nowhere on the list. game.prefs file (it's where the keybindings are stored) lists both key combinations for suicide, but i'm certain that i didn't add that ctrl+k back in there.

I don't think gaz_ui removes existing keymappings, just adds new ones. I *think* ctrl+k will still work even though you remapped an additional keybinding to it. The game.prefs is a bit of a mess to decipher but I believe you can manually remove it if you can work out where it is.

I found it and got it fixed. However, i seem to recall that it was working(i was, not blowing up randomly) before. It would mean that gaz did in fact remove the default hotkey.

Can you post how you fixed it so others can potentially find a solution here?

I did a search in game.prefs file and found both the ctrl-k and ctrl-alt-y in there. I removed the line that said ['Ctrl-K'] = 'suicide', and saved the changes. Thankfully that file is mostly human-readable.
