Custom KeyConfig.plist issue

[Gunney_Plym]

Hi all, I wonder if any of you geniuses can help me out. I've just upgraded from Oolite 1.65 to 1.71.2 in order to play some of the shiney OXP's that require it.

Unfortunately I'm somewhat left handed and require a custom layout while playing. The plist I've created for this purpose initially didn't work at all in the new version where-as it was OK previously. In order to make the changes I'd edited the one in

Code: Select all

\oolite.app\Contents\Resources\Config

After a quick search through these boards I found a reference to putting a custom file in

Code: Select all

\AddOns\Config

which has resolved most of the problems but one.

My preferred throttle keys are < and > but, while they do change my speed, they also yaw the ship left and right (which as you can image would make accurate flight control challenging ). I can't find any reference to changing the yaw keys (in fact I didn't know you could control yaw at all )

Does anybody know how to either disable yaw, or what entries are required in the keyconfig.plist to re-map the keys

OK, please ignore the idiot above

As soon as I'd completed the post I realised that I'd moved pitch and roll away from the arrow keys. These then are available for the throttle and are way easier for my right hand to deal with anyway (no keys below them to reach over).

So the problem isn't resolved but it is neatly by-passed.

Now I can get on with the serious bit of trying out the OXP's

For reference, to remap the yaw controls, just edit the keys shown below in keyconfig.plist to whatever keys you would like for yaw:

Code: Select all

key_yaw_left				= ",";
key_yaw_right				= ".";

Also, note that in v1.71.2 the Config folder is not under oolite.app\Contents\Resources, but under oolite.app\Resources. If you still have a folder like oolite.app\Contents\[Whatever], then probably you have installed the game over the old version, which is not recommended. If this is the case, better uninstall it and reinstall the new version in a new folder.

I'll see how the re-install affects things.

Certainly adds to the game running a few of these OXP's
