Edit <path-to-game>\pc.ini\ The key bindings cannot be changed ingame, only via the launcher, which might not work anymore. Here are some explanations for the lines and sections in the file: # shooting bind Mouse HA1_CLK VK_LBUTTON CLICK bind Mouse HA1_DWN VK_LBUTTON DOWN bind Mouse HA1_UP VK_LBUTTON UP # walking bind Keyboard WIN_UP_ARROW VK_ARROW_UP DOWN bind Keyboard WIN_DOWN_ARROW VK_ARROW_DOWN DOWN bind Keyboard WIN_RIGHT_ARROW VK_ARROW_RIGHT DOWN bind Keyboard WIN_LEFT_ARROW VK_ARROW_LEFT DOWN #bullet time (hold key) and jump bind Mouse HA3_CLK VK_MBUTTON CLICK bind Mouse HA3_DWN VK_MBUTTON DOWN bind Mouse HA3_UP VK_MBUTTON UP # auto aim an enemy bind Mouse HA5_CLK VK_RBUTTON CLICK bind Mouse HA5_DWN VK_RBUTTON DOWN bind Mouse HA5_UP VK_RBUTTON UP #crouch bind Keyboard HA7_CLK VK_RCONTROL CLICK bind Keyboard HA7_DWN VK_RCONTROL DOWN bind Keyboard HA7_UP VK_RCONTROL UP # next/prev weapon/item bind Keyboard HA9_CLK VK_PRIOR CLICK # next/prev weapon/item bind Keyboard HAA_CLK VK_NEXT CLICK # switch between weapons and items category bind Keyboard HAB_CLK VK_HOME CLICK bind Keyboard HAC_CLK VK_END CLICK #calling the dog bind Keyboard HA8_CLK VK_BACK CLICK bind Keyboard HA8_DWN VK_BACK DOWN bind Keyboard HA8_UP VK_BACK UP To change the key bind you have to adjust the "VK_" value to something different.
