I use the standard controls.
My middle mouse button (Mouse3) is my Ventrilo key, allows me to shoot and talk at the same time.

Grtz, DePhille

Default ftw! I tried that spacebar throw Toumaz, but I couldn't hit anything for about a month until I changed it back.

up down left right to move (down crouches, up jumps). Prone is CTRL. Nades are shift. reload is mouse 3, firing is mouse 1, mouse 2 is jetpack. Im thinking about making mouse 3 (the wheel no the click) to switch weapons and change throw to enter. chat is `

Why don't you just use the voice activation option in ventrilo. It makes things a lot easier as you don't have to worry about pressing any buttons at all.

Really only changed 2 things.  Put my nade key as shift, and my throw weapon as the space bar.  Works out well for me, other then the fact that sometimes my shift buttons sticks and causes me to throw an extra nade.

I used to use the arrow keys for about a month when I started playing, but back then I didn't know you could use the number pad so I had to leave all my other controls as default. So I used my left hand for the arrow keys, and the right for the mouse. That led to me not being able to use my nades, drop/change weapons, and all that stuff because I would need to use my left hand which was already used in the arrow keys to move my soldat. So when I played, I only used my primary weapon and nothing else.

My chat is enter, my teamchat is the backslash, and my prone is space.

I used the to use the arrow keys before I encountered the same issues as cappy, except my default keys were moved in proximity to the arrow keys. But there was still that big space between up and end if I wanted to toss a nade etc.

I use all of the default controls except the spacebar is used for throwing my weapon. Not only does it feel more comfortable when I use my knife, I don't have to take off my left index finger from D when I'm moving. I've actually gotten better with it over the past year. I cannot imagine going back now. :)

That's not wierd. That's extremely practical. =)

In addition to that...
weapon throw with the mouse's thumb button
prone with space
nade with ctrl

also chat is 'y' and teamchat 'u' for some reason.

I have all default, except space is my grenade and left shift is my reload. I find it an excellent use for my otherwise-useless fifth finger.

my fifth finger uses SHIFT too, but for prone...

Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: Maniatiko on July 27, 2007, 07:18:58 pm
z >>> prone
c >>> change weapon
space bar >>> throw weapon (knife etc)
w >>> throw grenate
shift >>> jump

(warcraft keys :P better so I dont mess up with my warcraft ones, this are very similar)
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?

Quick Question, has anyone tried using a gamepad or joystick?
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: Clawbug on July 29, 2007, 12:36:35 pm
Spacebar is for nades, mouse wheel is for changing weapon, and mouse wheel click is for throwing the weapon.

Mine is rather similar, just clicking the scroll is for using jetpack and scrolling for changing weapon. Left mouse button shoots, right one throws grenade and otherwise it is the regular WASD + X for prone by default.

I didn't know you could use the mouse wheel for soldat. :o I'm going to try to mess around with my controls now.
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: Sotija on July 29, 2007, 02:19:37 pm
I have space to prone

Otherwise default

How on earth do you use a joystick to play Soldat?
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: Cappy on July 31, 2007, 10:25:26 am
You plug it into your computer then use it to move the soldat...Must be a bit weird though...
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: client on July 31, 2007, 10:32:45 am
space = prone
mouse wheel = throw weapon
shift = ventrilo
the rest is default

Use the joystick for moving and the mouse for aiming.

Though I must say this only works well in the 3rd dimension. Might be a bit hard to get in the 2nd.

A standard QWERTY keyboard. Why? Nothing weird about my configuration... try it yourself. Since my left thumb never does anything with the default configuration, using it for space to throw frees up time and it feels much better anyways.

Immediately when I started playing, I configured my movement keys to WASD so that all keys were close-by. I have shift for grenade, F for throw, E for reload, CTRL for prone, T for chat and Y for team chat. Left mouse click for shooting, right mouse click for jets, and scroll button for switching weapons.
The scroll button really gives the feeling of cycling through your primary and secondary.
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: iDante on July 31, 2007, 12:31:58 pm
for me scroll on the mouse wheel is change weapon and press is drop. rest is default.
Title: Re: Your own wierd control scheme?
Post by: m79 Noob on July 31, 2007, 04:12:07 pm
space - chat
left Shift - team chat
scroll wheel - change weapon
press wheel - reload

The rest as default.

I used to use the arrow keys for movement and the numpad for everything else besides shoot and jetpack, but now I only use defaults and that makes things a ton easier + I used Mouse3 to throw a grenade

Would't that get in the way of your shooting and aim?
