Editing movement html

[tdutton2006]

I want to change Q and E to a side step. Would that translate as "push_left" in the html?
I also want to make the space bar "Jump" and to hold it to make you fly up. Any advice on the best way to write this?

I sort of understand html, but I've never taken a class in it... I can edit words no problem, but I want to make sure I make the right changes so I don't have bugs.

 

 

Or, is there somewhere online I can find a copy of the changes I want to make and just copy/paste?

 

I have been told on previously posted questions that this would work so I could make the movement keys a little more familiar. If changing these doesn't work, do you know something that will?

Edit: Griffin just tought me that it does indeed work the way he described in his earlier post to this question.

I tested multiple times but it didn't work with my installation, so I thought it wouldn't work in general.

Please see Griffin's earlier post for instructions: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Controls/Editing-movement-html/qaq-p/1953461/comment-id/2518#M2518

Thanks, Griffin : )

ETA: It seems this doesn't work on non-English Windows systems. I need more testing!

Hello,

I'm sorry to say that wouldn't work.

The keycodes and shortcuts are not editable.

I saw the keys.xml file that you were probably referring to, but changing it does nothing.

The huge amount of shortcuts of the SL viewer makes it hard to allow people to modify the shortcuts.

Move Left / Right - I think the sections in keys.xml that you're looking for are "<binding key="A" mask="SHIFT" command="slide_left"/>" and "<binding key="D" mask="SHIFT" command="slide_right"/>".

Using the default mapping, using A by itself turns left and using SHIFT+A slides left. Likewise, using D by itself turns right and using SHIFT+D slides right.

So changing those sections to instead use E and whatever other key you decide to use should work (as long as that other key is not already mapped; see below re SPACE).

 

Jump - The section in keys.xml that you're looking for is "<binding key="E" mask="NONE" command="jump"/>".

SPACE in the default mapping is Stop Moving. Changing jump to use SPACE should free up E to to use for slide left. However, you'll have to edit Stop Moving to use a different key.

 

If you want a binding to be consistent between third-person and first-person views, you need to change the same control for both modes.

 

P.S. I've never played around with the key mapping myself, but I disagree with Martin's assessment.
