Lost Planet 3 Keybinding made simple.

Overview

Extremely easy to rebind keys using Autohotkey and my script.

Step 1.) Acquiring Autohotkey (It’s Free btw)

Since I can’t post links , just use you’re favorite search engine and search for “Autohotkey”.I’ve been using this for many many a years and I would totaly vouch for it as of Sat May 21 , 2016(From the legit website).Its also totaly free and comes with no spyware/adware bundled in it.

Also if you are downloading from sites like majorgeeks and other such third party sites I would recommend scanning the files using the website called VirusTotal to see if it contains any PUPs (Potentialy Unwanted Programs , adware/spyware like Opencandy.Bundled in a ton of things on sites like that).

This is my favorite program for rebinding keys in games that otherwise don’t have it programmed in or in this case poorly implemented.This can also be used to make keybinds that can be toggled or turbo ed.Also I can save this and if I had to reinstall the game I have my keybinds all ready to go.

My other favorite rebinding ‘tools’ for Gamepads

[X360CE]

.(v3.2.9.81) Great for people like me who have gamepads not recognised as xbox or playstation controllers.This also allows button rebinding but is limited to that.

[*Xpadder]

.(v5.3) Same as X360CE except it allows much more than just rebinding buttons.You can make a Turbo button or Toggle buttons.

*Xpadder 5.3 was the last free version and will only run properly on newer versions of windows after XP using compatability mode XP sp 3

Step 2.) Install Autohotkey

Install

Step 3.) Create the script

Open Notepad and paste this inside ( I use some weird keybinds I know , I’m thinking of using autoit3 to make a gui that will prompt you for keybinds.If at least one other person besides me show interest) :

NOTE: To change the keybindings with ease after pasting in notepad see instructions below this script (Step 4).

#NoEnv #SingleInstance Force #usehook SetTitleMatchMode 2 #Persistent DetectHiddenWindows, On sendMode Input #InstallKeybdHook #InstallMouseHook SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0 SetMouseDelay, -1 SetKeyDelay, -1 SetWinDelay, -1 SetBatchLines, -1 SetControlDelay -1 #MaxThreads 3 #MaxHotKeysPerInterval 1000 #MaxThreadsBuffer on #KeyHistory 0 ;========================================== ;============== ;Press (ALT+q or w/e you assign) to pause/unpause the script ;! = ALT Key hotkey, !q, Psescipt ;Movement Keys (WASD = UP,LEFT,DOWN,RIGHT) ; Up::w Left::a Down::s Right::d ;Switch to pistol ; Insert::MButton ;Switch Weapon/Tool ; >::WheelDown <::WheelUp ;Dodge ; Numpad1::Space NumpadEnd::Space ;USE,Operate,Set Deployable,REVIVE,Cancel Conversation ; Numpad0::e NumpadIns::e ;PickupItem , PickupWeapon , PickupItem , PlantBomb ; NumpadDot::p NumpadDel::p ;Sprint ; Enter::LShift ;Grenade ; End::g ;GrappleHook,Struggle ; RShift::f ;Reload ; Numpad3::r NumpadPgDn::r ;ZoomWeapon ; Numpad2::z NumpadDown::z ;Block , QuickTurn ; RControl::q ;Tap Out , Shock Jumper ; PgDn::x ;Operate T-Post,Prep T-Post,Transfer T-Post,Tap in ,Swing Arm ; PgUp::t Numpad5::t NumpadClear::t ;Melee, Cancel Repair ; Numpad4::b NumpadLeft::b ;Repair ; ::v ;ShowPath, Noxious Demise ; Backspace::n ;Job Log,FastTravel, ScoreBoard ; =::Backspace ;Change Ammo ; Delete::c ;Deployable 1 ; Numpad7::1 NumpadHome::1 ;Deployable 2 ; Numpad8::2 NumpadUp::2 Space::Enter ;============== ;——————–FUNCTIONS————————- ;++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Psescipt: Suspend Pause,,1 SoundBeep return ;++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ;——————– ————————-

Now change the controls to you’re liking above and save the file on you’re desktop with a name like “LostPlanet3.ahk” without the quotes of course.Also make sure the file has *.ahk on the back of it NOT *.txt.

Step 4.) Change keybinds to suit you with this table of keybinds

Instructions :

[1]. I will assume you already have the script pasted and saved to notepad.To change my keybinds with you’re own just look at the third column and double click the text in it and copy it using CTRL + C or right mouse button and selecting copy.

[2]. Once you have done step 1 open up the script and press CTRL + H (Find and Replace shortcut) and replace my key with you’re key.NOTE : When searching it WILL ONLY find whats below your cursor so make sure to scroll to the top after each search and click the first line or something.

[NOTE :]. When searching it WILL ONLY find whats below your cursor so make sure to scroll to the top after each search and click the first line or something.

[3].If you only want to modify some keybinds and leave the others as the games default keybind’s Than instead of replacing the key from the list put a semi-colon (;) at the beginning of the line or just delete it outright.

[4].After you are done save it.Make sure the file is saved with *.ahk at the end NOT *.txt because than Autohotkey will recognise it and run it.

[5].Enjoy!.:)

Here is a simple Autohotkey Script that I lifted from the AHK forum that will give you the name of whatever key you want to rebind , incase you run into that problem.

#InstallKeybdHook KeyHistory return

After pressing the key you want press F5 to refresh the window showing you’re key’s name to use in the keybinding script.

Example: Those buttons that some keyboards like mine have that open the media player or fastforward key.So if I wanted to use one of these keys I would find out that its called “Media_Next” without the quotes ofc.So now I know the name to rebind a key in the script for autoit.

Instructions on how to use

Instructions

Where ever you saved the script double click it to run it.

Important:To pause the script if you want to chat or something press ALT + q , you will hear a beep each time it is paused or unpaused.

To close the script right click and select exit.

Profit!

So in closing if you found this usefull let me know.If you can find use with this on another game use this guide as a template or make it better , I will not claim anything.I give not to expect something in return but to spread my creative juices all over the universe.Please get your mind out of the gutter thats not what I meant…lol.
