Need help with controls XML file

[Jesper Green Jensen 0]

Hi all.

Im one of the loyal DayZ players who cant play until controls get fixed.
Dont ask me to play defaults after 5000 hrs DayZ and trice that other FPS games with same settings :)

I have edited the dayz_preset_user .XML file and most of the controls work now.
BUT...for some reason I CAN NOT change "A" and "D" or assign Zoom??

AS you can see in the code i have changed Turnleft/Turnright to Comma and Period. but when ingame i STILL have to use A/D.
It makes no sense to me?

Any help is greatly appreciated, since waiting for 1.0 is just torture for a fan :(

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<preset>
    <input name="UAMoveForward">
        <btn name="mBRight" />
        <btn name="x1LeftThumbUp" />
    </input>
    <input name="UAMoveBack">
        <btn name="kRMenu" />
        <btn name="x1LeftThumbDown" />
    </input>
    <input name="UATurnLeft">
        <btn name="kComma" />
    </input>
    <input name="UATurnRight">
        <btn name="kPeriod" />
    </input>
    <input name="UATu

 

....And here i try to Zoom on mouse thumb button:

 

<input name="UAZoomIn">
        <btn name="m5" />
        <btn name="x1ShoulderRight" />

Hey Jesper,

i don't know what exactly could cause the first issue, but the second is because you name the mouse button wrong, it should be:

<input name="UAZoomIn">
        <btn name="mB5" />

</input>

do you maybe have other commands bound to kComma and kPeriod? or maybe the brackets for UATurnLeft and UATurnRight aren't really mapped to an action?

It can also be that, because the m5 binding can't be mapped to an action, the game changed the presets to the default one because it tan into an error,

try changin m5 to mB5 and try again then, and if all else fails, try to set the file to read only

Hi Jesper Green Jensen here again.

Must have written down the wrong password for the account i made the post with :S

...SO, had to make a new one :D

Anyway, thx for your time ZomboWTF.

The Thumb button for mouse works now. with mB4 <3

I tried the read only thing, still no worky on LEFT/RIGHT

The following needs still needs to be assigned, then im ready to go:
Left

Right

Hold Breath

I can live without "Hold Breath", but really need to change the A/D.
Period and Comma are only used once, so that was not the problem.

I don't know if this helps but the XML file is a bit tricky when it comes to the basic movement.

 

UAMoveForward

UAMoveBack

UATurnLeft

UATurnRight

 

The third and fourth blocks are TURN, not move. The UAMoveLeft and Right are further down in the file.

I fell for it too, maybe it helps someone else.
