Troubleshooting / About the ff7input.cfg file for Laptops and mods
« on: 2019-06-19 12:31:03 »
Hey guys, how's all?
After going through a few hardships, I finally managed to turn my Steam release of FFVII into the old 1998 release so I can use mods.
Before diving into that territory though, I wanted to ask if there was a way to edit the ff7input.cfg file to one's liking.
I got mine from this post written by the user PitBrat, but I noticed a problem in which going diagonally in certain directions doesn't really seem to work.
For example, if I hold the right arrow key and then press the up arrow key, Cloud keeps walking to the right instead of going upwards diagonally.
That's kind of annoying and I'd like to know if there was a way to fix it. I thought that maybe I could edit the ff7input.cfg file and figure something out, but when I tried to open it with Notepad++, this is what I got:
I also don't quite like the way in which the controls are set. I had to try every single key of my keyboard to find out that the Escape key was used to confirm a character's name, lmao. I was avoiding it until the very last moment because I thought it would force close the game, so if I could change that too somehow, that would be awesome.
Naturally, if there's no other choice, I guess I'll just have to get used to this control layout, but I'd really really like to fix the issue with the movement, because oof, that one is pretty annoying.
Thanks in advance for reading

EDIT2: About modding, again.
EDIT3: About modding, I fixed my problem.
EDIT4: Alright, I think I was able to fix my issue. I just... modified the controls In-Game.
Last time I tried to do that, the controls stopped working, so I was avoiding it like the plague, lol.
