Options suggestion

insanexade

I use a controller with custom key binds within the game pad software, and like most gold members, I have 8+ characters. (10 since I have two Level 40s.) For example, I do not use the tab button, but rather the [ key to switch targets. I also remove the number pad binds and customize them for one touch window opening or item use. (C1 is num5) I also remove the annoying toggle full screen since I have two high resolution monitors and I often have the wiki open on the second one.

Anyhow, I find it quite tiresome to always set my key binds with each character. I wish there was a way to save the options in a file and import them to a new character, or even into a new computer. (I recently switched hard drives due to some issues.) If there is this option then please let me know how I can use it, for I often dread switching to a new character or making a new one.

You can use the LOAD UI button on the UI tab of the Options to set those parameters but for keybinds, you can use:

/save_bind_file NAMEWITHPATH

and then on your new character just type:

/load_bind_file NAMEIWITHPATH

So, for example, I always type:

/load_bind_file "E:/Games/ChampionsOnline/CO_Binds2.txt"

to load in my keybinds.


EDIT: Oopsie ---- Somebob has it right, the format is actually /bind_save and /bind_load!

You don't have to use the filename, as he notes, unless you have multiple keybind files.

oh thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Edit, hmm, that save does not seem to work. I'll have to fiddle with it, I really want to save my key binds

You don't need to use the file bit of the bind command.

Just use /bind_save and /bind_load

NOTE: That saves/loads into a single binds.txt file located in your CO directory. So if you happen to use /bind_save again, it replaces said file.

thanks now for the UI button that braxzana mentioned...
Edit, found it under the hud

Thanks for all your help
