The following lines need to be in gameusersettings.ini in your %localappdata%\mw5mercs\saved\config\WindowsNoEditor\ or \Windows\ (I'm not sure which one is being pulled from).
?InputTypeToAxisKeyList=(AxisName="MoveForward",Scale=1.000000,Key=W)
InputTypeToAxisKeyList=(AxisName="MoveForward",Scale=-1.000000,Key=S)
InputTypeToAxisKeyList=(AxisName="MoveRight",Scale=-1.000000,Key=A)
InputTypeToAxisKeyList=(AxisName="MoveRight",Scale=1.000000,Key=D)
In the input.ini file in the same location, should have the following:
AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward",Scale=-1.000000,Key=S)AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward",Scale=1.000000,Key=W)
AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight",Scale=-1.000000,Key=A)
AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight",Scale=1.000000,Key=D)
I'd hope making sure those are in the files would just make it magically work. Otherwise, I'm not sure why it only works for some people and not others. Not sure why it doesn't update for some people anyway, I have code to manually add them in now that runs when the mod boots up.
it worked before then i did a full file wipe switching to the steam version (and deleting the egs version all together) to try and stop all the CTDs that were happenning, after whiping and reinstalling everything, it stopped working. maybe something about the newer version of the mod isnt adding those lines (where they must have been put there from older versions of the mod?)
who knows. now to see if the CTDs calm tf down
cheers!
I hope the mod author is doing well and gets some free time to work on this project!
I find myself coming back to check on this mod every time I'm browsing MW5 Mods :D
Characters constantly getting stuck on terrain and not moving, no matter how hard I try to get them to move
WASD in FPS mode not working (I see your comment about editing the files...not sure why it doesn't work by default)
Changing to a lancemate's 'mech, WASD makes then slide around really fast
Mini map is completely useless, have to go into FPS mode and open the map from there just to see what's going on
Targeting icons on enemies/objectives constantly disappearing, have to F6 and back to get them to show up
Trying to get your 'mechs to move to a location is like herding headless chickens (is this because of AI mods?)
AI mods are going to be hit or miss, as is general mod compatibility.
Changing mechs and FPS play are buggy because there's base game logic that runs that the mod can't override properly, so things get wonky.
Minimap is my bad, I never got around to fixing it after it was updated in the base game. The whole RTS UI and icons is a custom HUD that I have set up to try to match when icons spawn, but it hasn't been updated in a long while, so it's hard to tell what new/exciting bugs are there from base game patches.
I don't really get a chance to work on it at all now, especially since I started working for PGI.
Its so close to being THE Mech Commander title we've all been dreaming us. Just needs a few of these bugs hammered out.
Like randomly taking the camera control from RTS mode near the end of my first mission bugging out and crashing.
The lack of a mini-map at the moment is a struggle. But not horrible. Mods really close to being something very very playable.
Will keep an eye on it! Looking forward to the next update.
Should mostly work fine in Career mode, though.
Things that may improve the gameplay (if possible) are AI behavior, like agressive, passive, and skirmish mode or demolition mode (soo the mech pass through some buildings instead of just shooting), focus on Air Units, focus on Tanks.
I hope the mod author is able to solve all issues, but this mod is already a great addition to the MechWarrior: Mercs community.
