I got the key mapping blues...

[Dark_Necromancer]

So my brother and i use the same account, but i use a joystick and he uses default controls, and they're both very different. it takes quite a long time to reset the keymapping things just the way i like them. is there some way that i can save my current key settings as a new thing. like it says "default" and "FPS" over on the right.

I don't know if you can add a configuration file that will appear in the menu, but the user-preferences and keymap local files on your computer are easy to find.

In Windows 7 you can go to My Documents > Dungeons and Dragons Online

There is a file named ddo.keymap. At the very least, you and your brother could save your own copies of these files into separate locations maybe?

Maybe someone who has tried this can chime in.

yeah exactly like you said. I reformat my computer ever month or two and simply save that file and then just drop it into the folder when I reinstall DDO so my keymapping is saved and I dont have to redo the information.

Yeah this is an easy fix...all you have to do is play log off it will auto save the keymap settings you last used.

Copy that to a floppy or someplace other than the DDO foldeer on your comp...then let you brother play and log off...save his settings to the same place you saved yours or a different place..whatever works for ya........as long as it's someplace other than the DDO folder where the game saves it too.

Now....when you go to play...simply rewrite the existing file in the DDO folder with either yours or his version before you launch.....wala.......sure it takes a little time but it's way faster than what your doing now.

You may both wanna make a copy of ur user preferences....as you may have different setting for that as well......located in same place as the keymapping file.

Who is the older ?
You should be able to settle this through good ole fashion, sibling bludgeoning.
If you win, he learns to use the joystick, if he wins, you learn the qwerty!

This method of settling family issues has been tryed for years, and has settled many a score!
