Information

This configuration file enhances some of the basic controls for Dark Messiah so that it is easier to play. It features:

- Tap to sprint. This makes it so that the sprint (SHIFT) key no longer needs to be held down for sprinting. Simply press/tap the button once and you will sprint for as long as you hold the forward (W) key down. When the W key is released, sprint will end. Simple, but effective. A lot of newer games feature this kind of sprinting, which gives your little finger a rest during periods of lots of sprinting.

- Toggle walk/crouch. This alteres both the crouch (CTRL) key and the walk (V) key so that they are toggle modes, rather than having to be held down. Press once to enter the mode and again to exit. Simple as that.

- Toggle HUD. Press the Y key to toggle the HUD on or off. Useful for taking screenshots.

If you wish to alter the bindings for any of the controls, I have included all the key bindings right at the top of the configuration file for easy editing.

Usage

Copy and paste the text in the next section to a blank file. Save the file in the same folder as config.cfg ("mm\config" from your main Dark Messiah folder). Name the file "enhancedcontrols.cfg".

You can then run it via the developer console (the tilde key, once enabled) by typing "exec enhancedcontrols".

To run at startup add "+exec enhancedcontrols.cfg" to your command-line arguments. This is useful, since you will need to perform it every time you start the game for the WSAD keys and all other functions to work.

Config File

You can also download the file from this page[www.jimbobslimbob.com] or view my forum post here.

I can't find the mm/config folder, how am I supposed to solve this issue?

Not sure what the problem is but I can't get it to work not even through the developer console.

Really helpful, thanks a lot! Maybe you should implement a FOV command line as well, since many people like me might have nausea.

Thanks so much! With stealth and movement such an integral part of the experience, the hold to crouch/sprint scheme was negatively affecting my enjoyment of the game.

My fingers thank you.

Sounds like you havent created the file correctly. Either incorrect name, incorrect file extension (should be a cfg file) or wrong location... they are the only things it could be. Most commonly, people dont have "show file extensions" turned on in Windows and create the file with the wrong extension.

when i type the comand on the console it says "cant exec enhancedcontrols.cfg,pls help.

You can also copy and paste the text right after the "config.cfg" code and you won't have to ask the console to run the file "enhancedcontrols.cfg" since the game automaticly execute "config.cfg" at the start of the game.

Thanks, it worked fine for me. Just don't forget to change the bindings if you are using an azerty keyboard.
