Since I no longer have a joystick (boohoo) I would like to completely remap the keybinds for the game. This means, for instance, using ESDF as directional controls, and remapping keys which have default engine binds (eg S for shutdown, E for target nearest enemy).
Unfortunately, editing input.map alone won't get this done, as the game only recognizes certain input "channels" as configurable. Namely, those which are available for selection via the in-game keybinding screen.
Is there any way to override this limitation?

Re: Completely remapping the keyboard
Well, using dosbox you could remap the controls that way, but I have no experience with that myself.
It would solve your problem though.

Re: Completely remapping the keyboard
I've been trying to get Netmech to accept my changes via Notepad to the Input.map file to no avail.
Can anyone lend me some assistance?
I just want to have the mouse inverted (which I sucessfully changed) & remap the equal/minus or the greyplus/greyminus with the UpArrow/DownArrow so the I can control the speed of the mech and the direction of the run with just that cluster of arrows.
Unfortunately everytime I change those mappings it will either crash at/before the desert loading screen or I will drop to the planet and automatically be firing weapon group unless I hold down the CTRL key. At which point I can do any other piloting options w/o ctrl in them, as well as my up/down arrows still moving the stupid torso.
Any Ideas? I tried the new Mechlab utility and noticed you could hit escape and get a config for the input.map file (I guess its that file) But no changes actual occur at the file level that way.
Any advice or a simple post of an imput.map with those changes from default would be awesome!
