For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: v1.7.1.1 3639 Mode: Survival Mode: Singleplayer SEED-ID: 189761 MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: No Reproducibility: Always Severity: Trivial Type: Global Summary: "Down" on "Map" is hardcoded to key "C" Description: While moving on "Map" in different directions keys are working according to actual Control configuration, except for one - "Down" - always by "C". Relevant only for "Map". "System Map" and "Galaxy Map" are working fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Change Control setting for "Down"(from default "C") 2) Open "Map" 3) Try using new key
Same goes for the always run toggle. You can not assign it on a new key i.e TAB, like you could prior to 1.7
If the Player wishes to remap his Keyboard .. so be it...but C stays as it is. Because Letters that are hardcoded prevent Players from causing Problems which are not obvious to them.
That is far from being something user friendly you know. Out there there are players with different needs than usual. Players with special needs and players different, like left handed i.e. All keys should be mapped according to user preference and help with ones comfort. On the other hand, what the op described is a feature of the player controller.Using the map the viewpoint is controlled like if the player is using "god mode" to move the camera around. I am not sure the two (camera axis movement on play-fields and on map) can be controlled individually. It is not actually a bug.
No hotkey (except maybe the game menu) should ever need to be hard coded. It's obviously a bug or oversight. I highly doubt it is actually intended for the "down" function on the map to be hard coded to the C key, and if it is then that is a design choice that should be changed.
Oh Master of knowledge... In SWTOR we had the same 'Problems'. They WEREN'T Bugs, you know? Players caused many Problems for BIOWARE and themselves by remapping Keys. It took BIOWARE a few dozen Patches to find a way to open/free those Keys. I also found a few hardcoded Keys in other games too. and those Games have been quite successful and long living. Just think about flight Simulators where games are only playable by using an Overlay because EVERY Key has a function. My Sentence stands: Certain Keys should not be remap-able for Players. At least not until the Game has got its finishing touches.
And I disagree. What possible reason is there for the down function in the map screen to not be changeable?
