Keyboard Set-up

[willowywicca]

Well I'm coming back to play now after a while away, so I've pretty much forgotten the controls, so it's a good time for me to dump the old crappy setup I had (nearly same as the defaults) and move to something more decent..

so, including whatever funky new keys I'll be needing for toa stuff, what are some good control set-ups that people use/would recommend?

Ta,
Malev

WSAD and q and e to strafe ... mouse buttons bound to keys to stick select nrest nme and attack

If you're used to the FPS setup, WASD works well. I can't remember most of my keyboard setup out of game, but when I'm playing I know which keys to hit(mostly oO)

WASD - movement
Q/E - Strafe
Z - Sprint
X - Sit
C - Stick
F - Face
R - Reply (need to change this, it's the worst thing when you hit 'R' by mistake and "/send someone dw23wwwwwf21dwwad111" )

Those're the most used keys for me, so I keep them close and easy to access.

 

[Saggy]

WASD for moving.
Q=Nearest enemy
F=Face
C=Stick
V=Target group member #8
Space= Camera toggle
Alt= Mouse toggle
Right mouse= strafe toggle.
E=Use
B=Sprint
R=Reply (like Seksual said, could be wise to change it )

Worked well for me

 

[Belorfyn]

I use:

WSAD: moving
QE: strafing
C: sit
X: sprint
< (left side of Z, if it's not same there on all keyboards): jump
FV: view up/down
B: reset camera
R: face
T: stick
Shift+T: follow
Shift+R: reply (problem solved)
G/H: 1h, 2h
F1: last attacker
F2: nearest enemy
F3: nearest ally
N: walk

Think those are the most important.. Basically it doesn't matter what keys of those you use for what as long as you got the important stuff near moving keys
Also depends of your playstyle. I want to have all important things near to left side of keyboard because I never use quickbar buttons with mouse. Also I pan my camera all the time and want to reset it (and after reset I have to tilt it up...bing on the patch with saving camera position).

 

[Teren]

ESDF - moving
W - sit
R - rply
A - attack
G - get
Z,X - strafe
C- stick
V - face (i play casters alot)
SPACE - jump
BACKSPACE - dive (i got BACKSPACE bound to mouse thumb button in mouseware)
Q - last attacker
` - camera
HOME - reset cam
CTRL - mouselook (i use it ALOT)

 

[Bloodcore]

If i want total control u need to do this (im only talking moving and viewing here)

w - forward
s - backwards
a - left strafe
d- right strafe

Right mouse botton - mouseview

That will give u a really fluid control of ur moving and looking around.

If u are used to arrows moving and then having two bottons for cam up/down and another two for stafing this might be confusing at starters, but its worth it, by far. What u do is that u use the mouse view (rightclick) to turn (saving two bottons) and view (saving another two) u dont want perma mouse view, cuz that makes u unable to target stuff probally

q run lock
e attack mode
f nearest enemy target
x look center - important after cam scrolls
½ camscroll
v sprint
c sit/stand

Edit: Rightclick Scroll in/out for zooming cam

 

[Zebolt]

ASDW - Moving
QE - Strafe
< - Jump
Z - Sprint
X - Face
C - Sit
FV - Camera View Up/Down
B - Reset Camera View
Ctrl - Attack
Alt - Closest Target
U - Use
R - Reply

Works wonders for me as a Runemaster

 

[Ilum]

I would personally not use ASDW to move about SDFE or DFGR makes more sense - you have more keys on both sides to play with Puts your pinky finger to more use \o/

Agree. I've been thinking about switching to that but it might result in some embarassing stuff at first..

 

[Ardrias]

Been using RDFG for years, and I'm quite l33t.

 

[Chimaira]

Im using standard arrow keys etc

 

[cHodAX]

Defaults here, keep saying I will switch to DFGR but I have never taken the plunge. After 2 years it is damn hard to break old habits.

aye papa ch0 =)

one thing Id like to be able to is getting used to not having sprint/stick on qbar. but cant get off the habit

 

[TeaSpoon]

Using WSAD in FPS or DAoC? Eeew!

Just remember you can swap from 1H to 2H slots on the keyboard now

 

[old.windforce]

standard setup with

F1 : weapon 1
F2 : 2 - handed slot
F3 : ranged slot
F4 : sprint
G : stick
J: lewt

(use shift + h to /face from default)

 

[Hiroko]

F1 - Sprint
F2 - 1h weapon
F3 - 2h weapon
F4 - ranged weapon
F5 - last attacker (usefull in keeptakes and ToA to find that damn archer that is shooting you)
F6 - nearest friendly

WSAD - movement
Q - attack mode
E - nearest enemy
F - face
R - reply
T - torch
Y - sit
\ (next to Z) - jump
X- up (needed for underwater)
C - down (needed for underwater)
V - autorun
B - select loot
G - get loot
H - quick sell
shift-H - destroy
U - use
Shift-U - use2
ctrl - mouselook (hold ctrl and use mouse for direction movement, mainly up/down and mousewheel for zoom)
alt - centre camera
Z - camera toggle (hold Z and A or D to rotate camera while on stick/autorun etc)
` (top left next to 1) - set groundtarget

strafe I don't tend to use much, set to arrow keys.

Seems to work for most situations: tank, caster or bard in rvr or pve.

Used to have sit bound to C (better spot for it), but needed somewhere to put 'down' with ToA, as didn't have it bound previously.

 

[Brelakor]

I use:

WSAD for movement
QE = strafe
Z = sit
X = jump (very important!!)
C = Reset Camera
V = Combat Mode
< = Use Item
R = Auto Run
T = Ground Target
H = Last Attacker
CTRL = Next Mob/Invader
ALT = Sprint
Space = Stick
Ø = For Torch

Pan Camera Button at Mouse Button 3 and Mouse Look and Mouse Button 2, allows for easy panning :|

This is easiest on my hands and works like a charm for me.
Precious hands also used for wanking, must keep them fit.

 

[Ardrias]

If you wank you dont need your girlfriend. Sell her to me.

 

[Loch]

Weird setup inc!

z/x = strafe
\ = sprint
c = attack
v = sit
a = face
s = stick
d = dive
q = follow
w = use
e = use2

t = jump
g = get loot
b = target loot
r = reply
f = destroy
y = sell

enter on numpad = mouselook
+ on numpad = autorun

tis about it ;o

Never normally move using keyboard, but when I do I use arrow keys like a newb :<

 

[dimerian]

s forward, ad <->,x back, qw strafes , f8 closest enemy,f7 stick,v sprint z walk just for starters

 

[Derric]

Move forward and target stuff with mouse
Q=Sit
W=Attack mode
A=Strafe left
S=Back
D=Strafe right
F=Mousemode
C=Closest enemy
X=Face
V=Stick
Space=Jump
Z=Dive
B=Sprint

Rest of the keyboard I got SoS on so I can quickly wtfpwn by hammering it.

[willowywicca]

Thanks for all the replies, was back ingame yesterday for the first time, and tried out a new set-up, after having trouble even moving forwards for the first hour I think I'm getting used to it now, and should be a bit better than when I was in hib and still using f8 to target, arrow keys to move only thing is I couldn't find a convenient place for the pick-up loot keys :< need to get em better cos atm I can't move properly while collecting loot lol
