Moving camera with WASD, can it be done?

[Fisco]

After lurking at the forums for some time, i decided to give it a try and be part of this great community.
Before i ask my question, i just want to tell you guys you're doing a great job improving the game and keeping it alive!

Now, let's skip further chit chat shall we?

I personally find it a little awkward to use the arrow keys when moving the camera. Because i actively make use of user created groups for my tanks my prefrence would be using the WASD keys. But since there is no way of changing it at the keymap settings ingame, i thought maybe there is another way to edit it. Maybe in some file i don't know about.

I know you can say that i just have to live with it, but i'm just that lazy and want to have it fixed .

Cheers!

(oh and yay for wz!)

Have one of the developers add a keymap setting for it (although, I might warn that the arrow keys are hard-coded in parts of the source).

I actually notice this a long time ago, it was on my TODO list, but it sank almost to the bottom.

Shame to hear the arrow keys are hard-coded, i wonder why they would to something like that.
Anyhow, im glad it's on the to-do list, even if it has a low priority .

Thanks for the replies fellas!

It is something easy enough that a novice programmer could tackle the task. The devs SHOULD be available to offer advice on how to add the key mappings.

Hmm.. Because they were Pumpkin? They got off on the right step but you can tell as deadlines approached, development got mighty sloppy.

Easy enough that a novice programmer could do it? Ooooh, I'll do it!
