My damn crouch doesn't work!

[Raziaar]

I have tried numerous keys. In the past, i've always used keypad 1 for my crouch, but that doesn't work. No other key I bind it to works. Why can't I crouch? I can prone, but not crouch. Everything else works fine.

Not being able to crouch is a game breaker for me

 

[Beerdude26]

Does BF2 have a console? You could try unbinding it and binding it in there.

 

[Raziaar]

I dunno. I havent used a console to bind keys since the team fortress classic days.

What is it, like:

bind "keypad1" "crouch" or something?

Don't ask me about BF2

[sinkoman]

wtf is a penis?

You know that hotdog looking thing that ikerous is allways sticking up your behind?

 

[venturon]

Woah. People crouch in BF2?

 

[Raziaar]

Woah. People crouch in BF2?

It's called taking cover. You'd think the idea was foreign to some people.

 

[Kamikazie]

try binding it to left Crtl, or a different key...

if that doesnt work, are you sure that youre not crouching?

 

[Fliko]

If you have a keyboard with F Lock, turn it on.

 

[xombine]

Did you change the orginal? Left ctrl didn't work?

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

just bunny hop instead

 

[Mr. Redundant]

I had trouble binding my crouch key too, as I use left shift....

try editing the config file for your profile.

should be somewhere like "C:\Documents and Settings\***your user account dir***\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001" (or 00*whatever given what account number you are) (001 is the top account when you are looking at the login menu, 002 is one down etc)

edit controls.con by right clicking on it and choosing open with (then select wordpad)

scroll down to

"ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PICrouch IDFKeyboard "

under

"ControlMap.create defaultPlayerInputControlMap"

add in your key the IDKey string

for numpad 1 it would be:

"ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PICrouch IDFKeyboard IDKey_Numpad1 0 0:

replace that in the file, see if that helps.

here is my control file, just in case something else is screwy.. you will have to change other things to your likeing but at least crouch should work.
hope it helps.

so just plop this into your "D:\Documents and Settings\Mrredundant\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001" dir, overwrite and you should be good to roll.

[Mr. Redundant]

Yeah i know hows the girlfriend.

 

[kaf11]

Its good that you're finding the time. Things have really been picking up recently. We've all been playing more together and have been able to organize large games every Sunday. Try to join us next time you see us on xfire.

He isn't going unless he takes me with him! LOL

Sorry... its just that it was awesome playing with him back in the day. Good memories.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

well the GF is my Fiance now, been living together for the past 7 months
things are going really well and thank you for asking.

Kaf11, awesome I might be down for some bf2 loving on the weekend sometime.. for sure, but realize I haven't played in wow,... just forever, hell I would be surprised if I still remember the maps
but playing with the squad again would be awesome, if anything just for the teamwork, we really did mesh well together.

Raz lemme know if that fixes your problem.

and the reason uninstalling and re-installing doesnt fix the problem, is the profiles are kept in the my documents folder and aren't deleted when you remove the game.

so you either had to manually delete em and have bf2 recreate em, or edit em as I pointed out above.

 

[Hazar]

I thought it said "My damn crotch doesn't work".

lol, I thought that too

 

[Raziaar]

Raz lemme know if that fixes your problem.

Man oh man! That fixed it! I think it wasn't the 'default' thing that changed it, but rather under the infantry aspect of things, because for some reason that was still set to left control, which I never had it set to before. I put that to keypad 1 as well, and now it works! Something in the patches must have changed it, because it worked in the past.

Thanks Mr. Redundant! Even though you're not playing BF2 with me, you're still saving my ass in the game.

 

[AiM]

Well the crouch / crotch key are synonymous with teabagging, so I guess they're related

Oh and did you try manually editing your .con file to change your key?

Deciphered

edit: Bah nevermind then

 

[Raziaar]

Thanks for the help everybody. Problem solved

I actually got around to doing something about it this time.

I had the same problem yesterday after I patched. The fix I got from ye olde google was to hit the 'default configuration' button in the options, and rebind everything. Worked for meeeeee.
