Hi,
due to popular demand I added a (rudimentary) keyboard mapping to the current BETA version.
It allows you to specify which keys you want to use when playing with a keyboard instead of a game controller.
Side note: Natural Soccer plays way better with an (analogue) controller, so do yourself a favor and use a game controller instead of the keyboard controls. If you happen to have problems using your controller, please post to the forums what the problem is and what controller you use.
But now on with the keyboard mapping:
For now there is no user interface to change the keyboard keys. Instead you create a text file containing the mappings you want to use.
To create a custom mapping, please create a file called "keyboard.txt" in the data folder of Natural Soccer in your user profile.
The full path to that file would be:
%USERPROFILE%\.NaturalSoccer\keyboard.txt
A popular request is to switch the D and S keys. To do so please copy and paste the following to the newly created "keyboard.txt" file:
UP=Up
DOWN=Down
LEFT=Left
RIGHT=Right PASS=S
SHOOT=D
CHIP=A
SWITCH=Q
SPRINT=L-Shift
I hope the file itself is self-explanatory. Please note that everything in there is case sensitive!
