Customizable Controls

[Invictus 201]

Hey guys, 

 

My idea is about customizable controls.  The basic idea is that instead of the basic up, down, left, and right keys to dictate motion, you can change the controls in settings to let's say I,K,J, and L respectively. I know there is another set of controls but, with customizable controls you can make the controls how you want them, therefore allowing for better and more comfortable gameplay.  To be able to do this, all the controls would have to be customizable including, supplies, motion, turret motion, shooting, chat, and team chat.  Let's still remember that if you are fine with the current controls, you don't have to change them.  Thanks for reading!  Support this idea by giving it a thumbs up and give me feedback through the comments!

 

The reason why I came up with this idea is because my new computer has really small arrow keys.  Because of I am used to bigger arrow keys, my fingers sometimes slip causing me to move in the direction I don't want to.

We will eventually add this feature. Keys remapping is a must for a good game. And a gamepad support is also will be introduced. We are already working on key mapping for gamepads.

Soo maybe a thing what allows us to see all controls in game? Like every single one (Also console and movement)

 

Customizable controls are an easy solution, why not?

I like it. There is no reason not to be able to control how you play.

Ahh.. you know.. I hate our controls so much I used Xpadder to map keys for my DualShock4. This game is so much better with good gamepad.

It would make it more comfortable to have the control keys wherever you want on your keyboard.

Good Idea!

[blackopspaul 753]

Great idea! Games like Minecraft and Space engineers and many other Online/offline games have this option to change the keys/controls to suit you!

If so, why don 't you Developers start with advising the newcomers to better use Q and E for the camera? ;)

 

Using Page Up and Page Down is really awkward IMO and I assume a remnant from long past times?

It 's still even advised/pictured in "Tank Controls" in the Tanki Wiki...

They hould be shorted out like

Move fowards --- W / ^

Move backwards --- S / v

Open/close console --- Ctrl+Shift+K

 

And we should be able to change controls by doubleclick on them.

 

I came up with this idea because i think i broke my laptops keyboard while trying to clean it buuttt.... My HDD is locked for now so i have to wait for new HDD and i dont know if its realy broken..

 

:) I hope it isnt and this idea is added because maybe its hard to use turret just because he have antiGhost keyboard?? Or whatever reason...

I'm experiencing keyboard ghosting atm, and this makes it almost impossible for me to play pretty much any weapons (especially the ones where you have to hold spacebar, like firebird). Customizable controls are an easy solution, why not? A lot of people experience the same as me.

Tanki X has such an option, we can alter the control buttons/keys before running the client. For players who have keyboard ghosting it turns out to be very helpful.

I'd like to use my Joystick that I use for WoT .that would be kinda cool if we could use other things like this for TO/TX

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

i hate thing where on qwertz keyboards the Z key is on totally different side.... fot rotating turret

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

I like the normal controls :v

[Cyborg 3,189]

For now whoever faces this simply follow this awesome guide right here.

[donaldo9000 1,342]

For me, the current controls are fine, but it's sure a great idea, and will come in handy with many players who like other controls. :)  +1

Hello, 

Tanki Online should really implement programmable keys. Its inconvenient to use the default presets.

 

I normally play with the arrow keys, <, >, ?, pg up, pg down, and delete keys when on my desktop. Its so convenient to use those keys since they are in the same zone. 

 

When on my laptop i use the arrow keys, z, x, c, q, e, and delete key. Playing  on a laptop is already cramped and i feel bad for those who have no choice. While its good to use the w, a, s, d, q, and e keys for first person shooters, its not good for playing tanki. 

 

I am right handed and in order to control the tank and the turret comfortably i need the keys to be in a layout that suits me. Especially when i need to use supplies.

 

In recent years i used to use the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 keys from the number row... however after playing an hour long game, my fingers would be cramped. I then started to use the number pad on the keyboard. The problem with that however is that i could be pressing on 4, when i really mean to be pressing 1. Sometimes when i need to use double armor and attempt to press 2 i would press 1 and waste a repair and a cool down. Personally it would make sense to use the 1, 2, 3, 0, and delete (.) key.

 

Tanki should allow players to set the keys that are right for them... Pretty much every other game has it, i dont see the problem with implementing it into this game. Its not even to distinguish from other games, its for customization and giving the player maximum comfort.

 

The server has to load profiles of the players anyways, so why not just let players set keys and allow those keys to load with their profile.

 

Personally if i play on a laptop, the z, x, c keys are good for rotating the turret, and the s, and d keys are good for changing the camera. The 1, 2,3, 0, and delete (.) keys are good for using supplies regardless of the platform.

Well, you can manually remap your keys. This will allow you to chose your own set/combo of keys for tanki.

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

We need this. This laptop i'm on ghosts with the keys I'm used to, so I cant even play.  Using left hand keys works fine, but i'm right handed so I have a ton of trouble with it

It would be better for the devs to actually implement a feature to do that instead of making us download third party programs. I know that shadow365 did something like that in one of his videos where he just used a mouse, however not all of us have access to downloading programs. I can download them, but i cant install them due to admin rights.

[Hex 11,520]

awwquard? Good Lord. 'Awkward' is the correct spelling. I feel like you got arthiritus for real.

So again with the ignorance, a person cant make a mistake?

 

I dont know why its so hard to quit this game.. its like cancer...
