Remapping
- 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] |

|
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.

- 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 usingSetupTool.exe
.
