[solved] RightArrow=+right doesn't work anymore

Post by MWTab »

Hiya,

I set my arrow keys to turn me left and right with

Code: Select all

RightArrow=+right
LeftArrow=+left
And it used to work fine, but on my version (4.11.0) they do nothing when pressed. Any idea what could be going on?

-Michael.

Anyone have any idea on this? I can get, for example, numpad 3=+right work fine, but RightArrow just stubbornly won't work.

I'm having this problem too. Thing is, it used to work fine but I recently got a new computer with an actual graphics card, and it doesn't work any more. Could it be something caused by using an Nvidia card?

I got around it by using numpad 1 and 3 to turn and 0 to fire. It works well, but I do miss those arrow keys.

Works for me on 4.11.3, though I'm binding my keys from within the game (tested both with the Controls menu, and by entering the bind leftarrow +left commands on the console).

I have this in my gzdoom.ini:

Code: Select all

LeftArrow=+left
RightArrow=+right
Noteably there's no bind there, maybe that makes a difference? Idk... But yeah, right and left arrow do not turn me, at least not audibly. I don't know if they're doing anything visibly since I'm blind.

-Michael.

Edit: those bindings are in the [Doom.AutomapBindings] section.

Edit 2: I got it to work, I needed to move it to the [Doom.Bindings] section.
