Key points

- Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS.

SetupTool.ini[2]
|
- Go to the installation folder.
- Edit
SetupTool.ini .
- Edit
SizeX and SizeY lines to set your desired resolution.
- Set
Type=0 to set the game to widescreen mode.
|
Input
- Gamepad and keyboard configuration settings can be found in
SetupTool.ini
. The mouse cannot be used in-game.
- For Xbox 360 controllers / Wireless controllers for Windows, it is possible to use the triggers to ready the knife or weapon instead of LB (no. 5) and RB (no. 6).
Xbox controller trigger remapping[citation needed]
|
- Open
SetupTool.ini .
- Using the first table below, locate and modify the lines to link the Z-axis (az+ for LT, az- for RT) to where ReadyKnife and ReadyWeapon appear in the
.ini .
- Do the same for the ReadyKnife and ReadyWeapon variables in the second table.
|
These functions can allocate only a digital button.
|
Action=1
|
Run=2
|
Map=8
|
ReadyKnife=az+
|
ReadyWeapon=az-
|
- Do the same for this section only for ReadyKnife and ReadyWeapon variables too; nothing else. "Foward" is not a typo. Ensure the original file contains this spelling mistake.
- ===== Used by SetupTool =====

CameraRight=rx+
|
Action=3
|
Run=1

|
ReadyKnife=az+
|
ReadyWeapon=az-
|
- The new remappings must be modified manually since
SetupTool.exe
will show [ NONE ]
for the trigger remapping, and left LB (5) and RB (6) available to whatever action function the player desires.
- If you want to use LB & RB, assign their numbers to an only action manually in the
.ini
file, not using SetupTool.exe
.
