Aug 18, 2020 Key bindings not saving fix and controller remapping citation needed Open%USERPROFILE% Documents My Games XCOM2 XComGame Config XComInput.ini Since XCOM 2 has multiple keybinding subsets, look for the section called XComGame.XComTacticalInput for the 'Tactical Shortcuts' or XComGame.XComHeadquartersInput for the ' Avenger Shortcuts'. XCOM 2 doesn’t really tell you how to do this, instead expecting you to just know, or scan through the multitude of key bindings to find out. Basically all you have to do to get your troops onto a roof, climbing nearby ladders or other objects, is to zoom out and select the available spot. '.Bindings=(Name='MiddleMouseButton',Command='ToggleFreeLook onrelease ToggleFreeLook' ' thanx for the mod. Im remembering now why i could not play the first xcom. Stupid console clunky views/port. Heheh key binding are in the interface options. Jun 30, 2016 Instructions and examples on key bindings. Instructions and examples on zoom settings. INSTALLATION: Windows users: For manual install unzip the package into your Steam steamapps common XCOM 2 XComGame Mods folder (create Mods folder if it doesn't exist). The mod should be visible and selectable in launcher.
Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Precautions to take during use
- Sit a good distance away from the monitor.
- Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.
- Make sure that the room in which you are playing is well lit.
- Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a video game.
So, I have gone back and discovered that my initial edits were messy to say the least
Here are the updated entries that I have tested and am using:
SteamsteamappscommonXCOM 2XComGameConfigDefaultUI.ini maxvisiblecrew = 30 (adds more active crew members to your Avenger screens, purely cosmetic)
Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent268500844674609configxcomcamera.ini ZoomedDistanceFromCursor=4600 (this allows you to zoom wayyyy out over the AO)
Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent268500844674609configxcomcamera.ini MaxTilesCameraCanMoveOutsideLevelVolume=25 (this allows you to rotate the camera further outside of the AO than vanilla (or default LW2)
Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent268500844674609configxcomgamedata.ini XComHeadquarters_DefaultRespecSoldierDays[1]=0; (choose your difficulty and set this value to 0 if you need to respec your soldiers post 1.3)
SteamsteamappscommonXCOM 2XComGameConfigDefaultGameData.ini NumClerks_ActOne=5 NumClerks_ActTwo=10 NumClerks_ActThree=15 all at least 30. (This adds more people to the avenger as well, purely cosmetic).
Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent268500844674609configxcomLW_AWCPack.ini ALWAYSSHOW=true (Always shows the AWC perk trees).
The following allows you to bind the zoom in/out controls to your mouse wheel (you will only ever need to update it if you verify your XCOM2 game cache from Steam). You should be able to use Winmerge to copy and paste these new settings over, be sure to back up your default files first. Basically it swaps the MouseScroll commands from ascend/descend to Zoom In/Out:
SteamsteamappscommonXCOM 2XComGameConfigDefaltInput.ini
; Zoom In
;.Bindings=(Name='T', Command='T_Key_Press | onrelease T_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
.Bindings=(Name='MouseScrollUp', Command='T_Key_Press | onrelease T_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
; Zoom Out
;.Bindings=(Name='G', Command='G_Key_Press | onrelease G_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
.Bindings=(Name='MouseScrollDown', Command='G_Key_Press | onrelease G_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
; Zoom Toggle
.Bindings=(Name='Z', Command='Z_Key_Press | onrelease Z_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
; Zoom Range
.Bindings=(Name='MiddleMouseButton',Command='Middle_Mouse_Button_Press | onrelease Middle_Mouse_Button_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
; Center camera on current unit
.Bindings=(Name='Home', Command='Home_Key_Press | onrelease Home_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
; Change Cursor Altitude
;.Bindings=(Name='MouseScrollUp', Command='F_Key_Press | onrelease F_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
.Bindings=(Name='F', Command='F_Key_Press | onrelease F_Key_Release', bSecondaryBinding=True)
;.Bindings=(Name='MouseScrollDown', Command='C_Key_Press | onrelease C_Key_Release', bPrimaryBinding=True)
.Bindings=(Name='C', Command='C_Key_Press | onrelease C_Key_Release', bSecondaryBinding=True)
Apologies to everyone who tried these unsuccessfully. The commands for altering soldier classes do not work as I directed and I'm not sure how to fix them.
Some QoL ini edits that I've collected from around the web.
FWIW I make my changes in the SteamsteamappscommonXCOM 2XComGameConfig folder, that way when I rebuild the
Alt Key Codes
my documentsxcom2xcomgameconfig folder after mod updates, or for troubleshooting, etc. I don't have to redo the changes each time. However if you verify your local files it will often overwrite the changes in all folders.You are free to make the changes in the my documentsxcom2xcomgameconfig folder for the same effect, just replace the word 'Default' with 'XcomGame'
DefaultCamera.ini change ZoomedDistanceFromCursor to 4400 which allows you to back way out to see more of the AOE
DefaultCamera.ini change MaxTilesCameraCanMoveOutsideLevelVolume to 25 so that the camera isn't blocked by the edges of the AOE and can swing out (this works in LW1 as well)
DefaultClassData.ini NumInForcedDeck = 0 NumInDeck = 0 This edit removes the specific soldier class from initial promotion screens, note that you can still receive this class as a reward or for hire in the Black Market.
DefaultUI.ini set maxvisiblecrew to 30 for your difficulty (or all difficulties) this adds more activity to your Avenger
DefaultGameData.ini set NumClerks_ActOne=5 NumClerks_ActTwo=10 NumClerks_ActThree=15 all at least 30. This works well with the previous edit .
DefaultAnimation.ini set HitReactDelayTimeToDeath to 0.2 reduces lag after shooting an enemy.
