Changing controls

[atom_47]

How do I change controls for games that don't have in game option / edit via text file? SHIFT jumping is killing me.

Pretty much the only way to do this is through a keybinder; I recommend using Autohotkey:

You'll have to look up a small bit of coding, but once you get that it's fairly easy to use

making an ahk-script to change controls is easy. for example, if you want to change the jump key from shift to w add this line to your script:
w::shift

With this line the script will only work when a fangame-window is active (it should be before the lines that change the controls):
#IfWinActive ahk_class TRunnerForm
This works for 99,9% of fangames (not for boshy or game maker studio games).
For studio games, copypaste the code and replace the second line with "#IfWinActive ahk_class YYGameMakerYY". For Boshy the last part of that line should be "Mf2MainClassTh".

also, add this line to the beginning of the script, otherwise you might get a message saying that you activated to many hotkeys in the last few seconds:
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 9999

the script I use looks like this:

(click to show/hide)

#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 9999
#IfWinActive ahk_class TRunnerForm
a::Left
d::Right
w::Up
s::Down
NumpadLeft::z
NumpadClear::Shift
f::r
NumpadRight::s
Space::r

Hope this helps
