default.bind.cs changes not affecting game?

by Nmuta Jones · in Torque 3D Beginner · 02/03/2010 (8:37 pm) · 4 replies

I delete prefs.cs after changing it, but I'm trying to change some key mapping, and my default.bind.cs changes are not working in T3D.

Then, just as a test, I tried to map both a and d to make the player move left. That did not work either.

moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, moveleft );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, moveleft );

So then I know that its not accepting my changes. and there are no .dso files to delete, so I know its not that. What could it be?

If a config.cs file exists, delete that. Run the deletePrefs batch file. I think that might be the issue. If not, check for errors.

That should be the issue - prefs.cs is where preference global variables are stored, but config.cs is where preferred keybinds are stored. config.cs is executed after default.bind.cs, so it overwrites your new binds.

Of course you can just stick the extra/altered keybinds in config.cs manually - whatever you find easiest.
