Crouch-jump not possible when having custom keys (swapped SHIFT & CTRL)

[Arakis]

Hello,
i swapped crouch key from ctrl to shift and sprint key from shift to ctrl in game options. Crouching works and sprinting works…but not Crouch-jumping. It works ONLY when have original keys.

This is a little bit annoying, because i need to crouch and crouch-jump very often, but my shift key is not simple to reach with the small finger on my keyboard. And i spend half an hour in the section c1a1d on the evalator, becuase Crouch-jump doesnt worked.

In original Half-Life Source, it works.

I’m using german keyboard layout, but this doesn’t matter, becase we are talking about modifier keys.

Greetings,
Sebastian

Im from germany and of course i have a german keybord. I got no problems at all with changed jump/crouch keys so it must be something else.
What keybord do you use? Logitech Illuminated by any chance?

Yes, Logitech Illuminated! Do you have a “Glaskugel”? ^^

I created a video for this bug:

I dont need a “Glaskugel” for this. Logitech restricted the illuminated Keyboard by deactivating some key combinations because it isn’t a “Gaming-Keyboard” they say.
Try the default key settings and then try to jump while you are running. Should be the same.

You can find further information about this on Logitech Forums: Klick

I feel sorry for you but this is a restriction caused by your keyboard and forced by its firmware :[

Somewhere there is a fix for crouch jumping via a simpleentry in your autoexe.cfg.

When you hold one key Gordon automatically crouch-jumps, if you just press it, it is a normal jump.

Cant find the thread, so I post this here and don’t take any credit for it.

bind “[COLOR=‘Yellow’]space” “+crouchjump”
alias +crouchjump “+jump; wait 5; duckON”
alias -crouchjump “wait 5; duckOFF; -jump”
alias duckON “+duck”
alias duckOFF “-duck”

//fix jump from crouch state
bind “[COLOR=‘Yellow’]ctrl” “+normalduck”
alias +normalduck “+duck; alias duckON; alias duckOFF”
alias -normalduck “-duck; alias duckON +duck; alias duckOFF -duck”

Replace they yellow keys with your desired key.

To get a list of all keys, look here:

The file is located in your Steam folder: Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\BMS\cfg

Just add the above code to it.

Maybe that helps.
