keybind resets

#1

eduke resets keybinds to it's defaults if they're bound to nothing, could this be disabled? is annoying. there's too many useless keys (keyboard look keys for example)
i'd like to be able to set my binds the way i want without the program resetting things.

Right now the only workaround is to bind useless functions to keys you don't use and/or don't interfere with your useful keys. Still I agree it should be possible to just have unassigned keybinds.

What about autoexec.cfg with "unbind all" command and your binds? I don't know would it work since i use xDuke port and didn't encounter such problem. Fitzquake have different problem with cfg - it does not save some options to it, so i put them to autoexec. Also vanilla Quake 2 does not save "gl_round_down 0".

doesn't work, autoexec.cfg doesn't get executed on start, you have to manually execute it every time you launch the game

I've been using a custom autoexec.cfg file in all my projects for years. It runs as expected at start time. I never tried using it for key binding though.

You're right, i just tested with disabling vsync from autoexec.cfg, you can also bind keys from it and it works

But the key reset happens AFTER autoexec.cfg is executed, so putting unbindall in it is useless. :)

the reason i said autoexec.cfg didn't work was because i only put unbindall in it :D

Can you bind a key with command to execute cfg with binds? It will not get reset since it's not bound to nothing.

can be done, but at this point is more trouble than it's worth. i just bound every useless key to keypad9. still think the key reset needs to go :)

I haven't followed this issue closely. Was this an intended feature the devs put in and if so, what was the reason? Or has it been officially labeled a bug to be taken care of later?

TerminX asked how this interfere

If it's a feature, there should be an option to turn it off

For me this is actually hands down THE most annoying thing in current builds. There's nothing I hate more than having to rebind my keys with every launch of the game. I dunno what was the idea behind the change, but I am afraid I cannot see anything positive in this "feature".

Unfortunately not fixed for me yet even with the new snapshot. Besides that, the game always defaults to software renderer, both in the launcher and ingame. Even if you choose OpenGL in the launcher, ingame it's set to Classic and you need to change it a second time. With next launch of EDuke32, it's the same thing again.

Discard. During an earlier attempt to preserve my settings, I had set my cfg files to read only. After undoing that, everything works just fine now. Thanks a lot, TerminX!
