Move: E
Stop: D
Left: S
Right: F

Increase Gun Range:Keypad 1
Decrease Gun Range:Keypad 3

Shoot: spacebar
Mine: Keypad 2

Tank View: Keypad 7
Pill View: Keypad 9

Scroll keys control primary view movement.

I made a borg that used my mouse wheel to move the cross hairs, but it never helped much.
I also made a borg a while back that moved the tank with the mouse like in a FPS. Another cool thing was that it could automatically build a specific plant by itself just by clicking. I don't use anything like that anymore.

Accelerate: Up Arrow
Decelerate: Down Arrow
Left: Left Arrow
Right: Right Arrow

Shoot: Spacebar

Pill View: P
Tank View: T

Scroll Up: W
Scroll Down: S
Scroll Left: A
Scroll Right: D

Increase Gun Range: E
Decrease Gun Range: F

Mine: Tab

and... thats all

I play on a laptop

similar to the above ... but why would you make yourself reach to range your gunsight? that seems silly .. if you scroll with WASD then you should use something like Q and E for ranging gunsight ... and use something else close to those for pill and tank views

its not that far... I dont have jumbo keys

I have a setup pretty close to jhoods with just minor tweaks for some of the gunsights and pill/tank view. I think that most top-tier players use a similar configuration.

Once you start to get better, you'll look for any edge you can get as they can and will make a difference. Having a key setup that minimizes hand movement across the keyboard is a big help.

Consider using KP0 as mine. I use KP0 and KP Enter to zoom in/out my gun range. I can't imagine driving with the same hand that controls the zoom as a lot of the times, you're moving when readjusting.

I use QW for tank/pill view and then shift for mine.

Glad to see others use ESDF rather than WASD.

Thanks. I switched and find mining much easier.

Oct 24, 2006 15:38

I decided to change my mine key from shift to kp0 as well. I sometimes press the ctrl key when trying to mine and that can be annoying.

I'd like to think that's a bug in the program.

Your fellow WinBoloers would probably like that as well.

range up/down - 97

shoot - right ctrl
mines - enter
tank view - /
pill view - *

scrolling - arrow keys

Feb 17, 2007 14:14

im on a laptop, so i have no keypad

wasd - driving
ijkl - scrolling
o- tank view
p- pill view
space- shoot
shift- mining
up and down arrow- moves aim

i also have a cordless mouse, that is really close to my keyboard so that i can quickly use it to move around. and if i get lazy, i can use my touchpad to revive pills when im drive becuase the mouse stays over the pill
