Originally created as a simple edgescrolling mod, it's now a more general purpose JABIA input configuration mod
Current features include:

• Edge scrolling
  
• Middle mouse button zoom
  
• Middle mouse button rotate
  
• Custom rebinding of keys (by default esc is menu, keypad0-3 are stances)
  
• Custom zoom distances and camera angles

all can be adjusted or disabled in JABIA_InputReconfig.ini
for example, zoom is already in the mouse scroll and it makes rotating jittery, so you can disable it if you prefer

Simply place it in your game folder and run it.
It will check if the game is running, and will run the game if not, so you can just make a shortcut to this on your desktop.

If you get memory patching errors, your antivirus software might be blocking it, so you need to add it to exceptions.
If you can't get it to work, you can disable memory patching in the .ini file.

Note that as it's based on AutoIT scripting system, some antivirus software might whine that it's a keylogger or something.. it is not.
For this reason i also give out the source code in the .au3 file below.

hahah cheers am sure alot of poeple will find this very usefull

[Silveressa]

Maybe i'll look into if i can turn middle mouse button to rotate/zoom next

That'd be awesome if you could do so, and thanks for the edge scrolling, much easier then wasd for those of us who use the mouse with our left hands.

And yet again is there community to fix devs mistakes. Thanks for this mod.

[packinheat81]

Sweet. Thanks for this, much appreciated.

[shole]

added middle mousebutton rotate/zoom
if you alt+tab out of the game or play in a window, you might have alt or ctrl being stuck in other apps
just hit alt+ctrl to clear that

THANK YOU!!!!!
Devs see what modding can do?
You must find a way to create mod tools!

[stonetoes]

Works well, thank you.

[Morlock]

This is a very useful mod, thanks for your work.

WASD simulation doesn't work while windowed.
ALT simulation is ok while windowed.

window location and size is detected when you select the window.. if you drag it around and you notice some scroll edge isn't working, alt+tab out and back in again and it should work

Thank you, it is working. But turning camera seems to be very slow, much slower then with ALT key, can it be fixed?

[shole]

try not to move your mouse vertically
the engine only allows zoom OR turn at one time
whichever direction you move the mouse more, gets done (which is also why moving mouse diagonally causes very jittery movement)
i guess i could do a version without the zoom integrated, if that would be useful (as it does exist in the mouse wheel already)

I Have a Big Request scine you allready send orders to the BIA Window, would it be possible to monitor the Keys also ?
I´m talking of a Custom Key Config, So for Example it could be an Ini File were people write set there Keyconfing and Your tool reads it out and sends the Propper Key to Game Window ?

[shole]

i can capture pressed keys but i can't prevent them from entering the game
like now i capture the middle mouse button, and then send a "key up" action to the game to cancel the scrolling action, making the game think i just clicked really quickly
there might be some more powerful tools for that kind of things
what kind of changes were you thinking of exactly?
keys that are unassigned in the game could of course be used

I read often here in the Board that people complain about not being able to customize the Keys that are used in the Game like P for Pause as an example.
Yep I know Keys that are allready be bind to something can´t be used, but it would at lest be something like custom Key Config.
Well PauseKey would be difficult to put in an ini scine it can´t be written that easy, but maybe it´s possible to just use normal Letters and some Sort of code for Special Keys

[shole]

why use P when you can just press SPACE for.. pause?
it would be trivial to have an ini file that had entries like "p={PAUSE}" for example, where pressing P would be the same as pressing the pause key

The P Thing was just an Idea

Right now wie have = ^ T G H C V [F1] [F2] [F3] [F4] [PicUP] [PicDN] [SPACE] [BACKSPACE] H [DEL] R E F [TAB] N B L [F11] [F10] [ESC]
wich are used in the Game and I personal have to look everytime on my keybord to look where is each key to make it customize would be nice to me
So I could fo example use the Numbers on the Num Block to have Guard Mode, Single Shoot etc.
That Way I don´t need to run over the entire Keybord

[kaliver]

If you're open to doing a little legwork in AutoHotkey, you have such a tool available to you right now. For example, I use this tiny bit of code to make the escape key kick me out to the main menu (default binding is f10 for some reason, lol):

#IfWinActive Jagged Alliance - Back in Action
Escape::F10
#IfWinActive

Now say you wanted to make Run/Crouch/Prone work on numpad 1, 2 and 3. You would simply add them as follows:

#IfWinActive Jagged Alliance - Back in Action
Escape::F10
Numpad1::F3
Numpad2::F2
Numpad3::F1
#IfWinActive

Easy, right? You're just telling the program to make the three numpad keys perform the same action as pressing the corresponding function key.

Anyway, you can download AHK here, and you can see a full list of keys here. I typically launch AHK as admin (just in case) and then right-click on the green icon in my system tray and select "edit script" to make tweaks quickly. Once you're done with changes, right-click the icon again and reload the script and you're done.

I'm sure someone can come up with an easier way for most people to do this but I have found AHK to be an invaluable resource for several games, especially just after release when devs are typically focused on other fixes.


And last but definitely not least, thanks so much for this edgescrollzoom tool! Not being able to pan my camera around with middle mouse was driving me a little crazy.
