right arrow- turn right

W- scroll up
A- scroll left
D- scroll right
S- scroll down

I don't see that it has anything to do with Winbolo. [Folds arms] What is going on here?! I demand an explanation!

I put all of my controls as one key, that way I do every possible maneveur at once, thus leaving everyone else in the dust. Plus it's so much easier.

Whereareas CF binds all of his keys to a /kamakaze command, and then bangs his head on the keyboard hoping something magical will happen.
May 09, 2006 06:49 it all wrong
ya sorry im uknown here and none probably gonna look at this again but i find best mapping for control's is:

up arrow: accelerate
down arrow: de celerate or whatever
left arrow: offcourse
right arrow: and so on

then on the keypad
1: scroll left
2: scroll down
3: scroll right
5: scroll up
4: decrease gun site
6: increase gun site
7: tank view
8: mine view
enter: shoot
+: lay mines

and viola that leaves u able to drive and use mouse or constant scrolling while shooting etc. anyways no one'll probably look at this. so enjoy this secret stumpy :lol:

A lot of you people using one hand for the keyboard must be either ambidexterous or left handed.
May 10, 2006 03:19
I use this



however, i don't there is a happy medium so you can use your mouse and drive at the same time. I might be wrong tho...

I've never been good, but I think I have a good setup.

E, D, S, and F to control the tank
Arrow keys to scroll view
Keypad 2 lays mines while 7 and 9 administers the crosshair.
Right hand on mouse.

I'm slowly adjusting to a new setup that allows one hand on the mouse at all times:
Keypad 8, 5, 4, and 6 to control the tank
Arrow keys again to scroll view
7 and 9 still does the crosshairs while the Enter key or Zero shoots.
Left hand on the mouse.


My original setup two years ago had me literally in twisted arms anytime I had to plant or type.

I think that I have one of the oddest key set ups with my skill level.
Whenever I want to use the mouse I switch to using my left hand to drive the tank.

Note: My left handed fingers rest on asd and that allows free movement to the rest of the keys. I used to have Mine set to M and pillview/tankview as , and . respectively

I have a tracker ball for a mouse so that makes things more precise for me. I can set the cursor to where I want to plant ahead of time, then just switch hands for a quick click, then get back to business.

I do think that my keys determine my playing level, but I'm comfortable with that.

I got it.

Use two hands on the keyboard, and put your mouse on the ground so you can use it with your foot.
May 13, 2006 23:14
i have improved that...use the cat for the mouse and the feet for the cat food
May 15, 2006 23:03
legs, hmm
