There is no "next/previous view camera" option and when you try to assign something to wheel up or down it doesn't set as or recognize the scrolling as a button.NemeSiS-Factor wrote:
Yup, select "next view camera" and scroll up. If it's not automatic for the other, select "previous view camera" and scroll down. Only scroll for one click when setting this though, it should be all thats required. You'll need to do it for every vehicle, ground, boat, helicopter, and jet.
Is there any guide on how to do that?Mad Ad wrote:

Credit to Random Skratch from the Planet Battlefield forums.First make sure you're editing the right Controls.con file
\My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\Profiles\0001 or 0002 (or more)
Double check Global.con in Profiles dir to see what one it calls.
The file is separated into 7 sections.
1. Infantry
2. Land
3. Air
4. Helicopter
5. Sea
6. Game Control (GUI, and other ingame things)
7. Player Input (Mouse look, camera, change inventory)

Anatomy of the bind

ControlMap.[Type of control] [action] [controller type] [key, button, axis] [key variable] [primary or alternate]
Everything starts with ControlMap. Don't change this or forget to add it.

Type of Control

The following are the available types of control
1. addbuttontotriggermapping (Mouse or joystick/pad button)

Controller Type
---------------
This is tied into the second part (after the .)
It's pretty simple
IDFKeyboard - Keyboard Key
IDFMouse - Mouse
IDFGameController_0 - Joystick (If you have more than one, change the _0 to read _1, _2, etc. **It always needs a
number and even if you have 1 stick, it should read _0. Remember computers start count at 0, not 1)
The reason why this is needed is because you can bind Axis controls to Keyboards, Mice, AND sticks. Same with
Triggers.
-----------------
Key, Button, Axis
-----------------
This is where you select the key that is being bound.
I've included a list of what every key is called.
You should have no problem binding joystick buttons or mice buttons (I use a bunch on my Logitech MX510). I also
didn't include what they are because every joystick and mouse are different.
-------------
Keyboard Keys
-------------
IDKey_KEYNAMEHERE
The Alphabet is just the letter (A-Z)
The Top number row are just the numbers (1-0)
The F keys just F1-F12
Special Keys
------------
` - Grave
Print Screen - PrintScreen
(Top row number line)
- - Subtract
= - Equals
Backspace - Backspace
Tab -Tab
CAPS - Capital
Shift - LeftShift/RightShift
Control - LeftCtrl/RightCtrl
Alternate - LeftAlt/RightAlt
Windows Key - LeftWin/RightWin (Yes I was suprised it used these as well!)
Space - Space
[ - LeftBracket
] - RightBracket
\ - Backslash
; - Semicolon
' - Apostrophe
, - comma
. - period
/ - slash
Return (or enter) - Enter
Insert - Insert
Delete - Delete
Home - Home
End - End
PageUp - PageUp
PageDown - PageDown
Number Pad Numbers - NumPad1-0
Number Pad / - Divide
Number Pad * - Multiply
Number Pad - - Minus
Number Pad + - Add
Number Pad Enter - NumpadEnter
Number Pad . - Decimal
I think that's all of em!
------------
Key Variable
------------
This is what defines the key to be either one shot or press and hold repeat or double tap. (Confusing??)
Okay example, when you press W to walk forward, you would set that to hold and repeat. If it was one shot, your guy
would walk forward one step and stop. And example of one shot would be weapon select. IF you press 3 to select your
main gun, it chooses it. Even if you hold down the key it will only go once then stop. If this was set to hold
repeat, your gun would be continously switching between firing modes. Double tap are keys like sprint (I think that's actually the only one that is double tap).
The codes are as follows
0 - Hold and repeat
1000 - Double tap
10000 - One Shot
I experimented with changing some of these from their defaults to different types and the game doesn't like it very well. I suggest you keeping all of the defaults the way they are.
If you are building the Controls.con file from the ground up, I suggest looking at the default one for the proper
settings. I'm not going to post all of them here.
--------------------
Primary or Alternate
--------------------
It's a good idea to follow all of the lines with a 0
This signifies the default button
If you want an alternate button do the following
Copy and paste the line you want an alternate to
Change the appropriate key
Change the final 0 to a 1.
-------------
**JOINT BINDS
-------------
Treat these binds the same as single binds but you need to enter 2 keys or buttons or axis.
UP then DOWN
RIGHT then LEFT
It's a bit backwards (normally it's left then right).
THe way these are designed you cannot make one a mouse button and one a keyboard.
The only way to go around this is to make one set primary and the other alternate.
------------------
Well I think that just about wraps it up. If anyone has any questions after, please don't hesistate to ask.
I'm also TRYING (repeat) TRYING to learn Visual Basic to create a small program to make this bind file with ease.
I'll let you know if I come up with anything or if anyone else has more programming skill than me (I can set the clock
on the VCR), let me know if you want to help out.
Good Luck!
No theres no guide, I figured it out myself as I always bind melee weapons to my wheel in other games and got fed up with having no commander scroll.Ten24Alpha420 wrote:

I don't remember the name of the scroll button either, but if you go into the game and change your main weapon select to mouse scroll click in the options menu, when you go into the controls.con file search for main weapon and it will have the name you're looking for.Ten24Alpha420 wrote:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PICameraMode1 IDFMouse IDKey_? 10000 0
All I think I have to do is replace the ? with the button ID. I'm not even sure if thats all I need for it to work.
Would also be nice if it auto double clicked to get rid of the interior of the aircraft.
