Playing Thief Gold again.. weird controls!

[Diego]

Hey there!

 

Decided to install T1 Gold and play a few missions and maybe some FMs, who knows.. But what's the deal with these standard controls? 'a' and 'd' turns the camera around, there are keys for running/walking and then keys for speed toggles that behave unexpectedly. How did I play this thing before?? Anyone have a custom control scheme for me to load?

This is my manually edited ' user.bnd ' T1 keys with f5f9 for quick save/load, just save this to the route of your TG folder.

user.bnd.txt

Hah I should have asked here back when I had the same problem.

Thank you! I though it was a long shot but was worth the try..

As the older folks here say "may god pay you in double".. you know, with two user.bnd files.

Since when can you quicksave/load in Thief 1? I thought only Thief 2 had that option.......

[AluminumHaste]

Well f me, you can that's so retarded how those options are not available in the keybind section in the game itself.

I actually looked and found that recently too. Immediatly standardized the keybinds of both games to the same mouse driven controls with the same quicksave and quickload.

You cant, I figured out how to manually change the keys a while ago etc :-D

try to click on "Options" in main menu and customize it

er, see above.... you cant which is why the user.bnd file has to be manually edited.

I don't like using the numpad for moving but considering we need another key to run forward, this is the best configuration.

Here my file:

The keys are like unreal style. With 'w' i run. with 'shift' i walk. with 'x' crouch. ecc...

[i30817]

you can also "toogle" crouch. It's much more confortable than hold to crouch.

 

I also use the left mouse button to move forward. and the wheel+right for various action/use/inventorycicle.

 

This way i rarely have to touch the keyboard.

I feel like I'm much smarter now! I mean, I'm still quick saving and loading frequently... but I never get lost anymore. And it's not because I remember the maps (I don't remember anything, ever) but because I can read the maps easily and navigate the missions surprisingly faster than I could. Even 'The Sword' was almost easy to navigate. I did get lost a couple of times, but finished within the hour anyway.

 

Edit: Well, that was very off-topic. In an off-topic thread inside an off-topic forum. Even this edit is kind of off-topic! OFF-TOPIC INCEPTION! We have to go deeper!
