First of all I would like to say...DAMM this game looks very good and fells very good (much better than Killing Floor 1).:eek:
I am playing now beta and I always change my key bindings and I use numeric keyboard on right side of keyboard. I can change everything there except key number 7 (Home) and I did try everything but nothing works. Is this a bug of some issue?! I hoop it can be change its just one key.:D

Thank in advance,

Sincerely.

I have this same issue too, and as a leftie, I'd love to see it resolved.

Just a bit more care to bindings in general(like being able to rebind middle mouse for different cams once your dead) would be amazing. Otherwise, the game looks and plays stellar!

There used to be a way in the Unreal 3 engine to Bind keys directly through editing an ".ini" file. in the original Unreal 3 engine it was the 'User.ini" file. in KF2 there is no file of that name. there are dozens of ".ini" files in KF2 and I believe I have scanned them all looking for a clue as to which one. I cannot find it.
there also used to be a way of Binding movement keys through the games consol. not sure how that works or the commands to use.


When I was trying to figure out which ".ini" file needed the edit I went into the game and rebound the keypad #8 to forward. save and exited. that command should have looked something like Forward=NumPadeight in the ".ini" file. So I opened each ".ini" file in Notepad and brought up the "Find" window. using that in each ".ini" I searched for the word "NumPad". I was looking specifically for NumPadeight to come up. nothing. no joy. Only 3 Numpads ever came up. I don't remember which ones came up but they were not the ones I wanted so I ignored them. So if anybody has a clue please post it here with step by step direction for editing the right ".ini" file. thank you

Hi Unbrella, I do the same thing as you and have the same problem. I use 7 for crouch and 4 for strafe left and neither key works. I did try posting a message about it yesterday evening and seems to have vanished. After spending 3 hours mucking about I found a solution to it and as a minimum I hope Tripwire post this somewhere as a work around for other users.


1) There is a Killing Floor game folder in your my documents folder which contains user specific information. The folder in steam only contains the default game settings and it is the stuff in your my documents folder that contains your user specific key bindings and settings and can be found at (for Windows 7)


C:\Users\<username>\Documents\my games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config\KfInput.ini


2) The bindings you are looking for are right at the bottom of the file so scroll all the way down to the bottom


3) We need to search for the correct entry we need to edit so press Ctrl+f (find command). In my case I searched for "strafeleft" (all one word) so I could bind number 4 to strafe left. In your case you'll need to search for the command you want to bind the key to. There are all there so you might need to browse down the list for the one you want


4) When you see the line it is on it will have the current default key bind and you need to delete it and replace it with number 4. At the moment it will look something like this:


Bindings=(Name="A",Command="GBA_StrafeLeft",Contr...)


and you need to replace the bit aftter Name= with the new key so it will look exactly like this for you for number 4 just with a different command:


Bindings=(Name="NumPadFour",Command="GBA_StrafeLeft",Contr...)


After that just save the file and you are sorted. Same thing works for number 7 if you want to bind that and the name for it is NumPadSeven (make sure you put the caps in).
