FULLY Editable Better Remapped Keyboard

Changelog notes:

Version 2. 1 makes it easier to parry attacks, since 2. 0 made it pretty hard compared with vanilla. Should work fine now.

For Version 2. 0 I'm changing the way AHK remaps the keys, this allows me to address that horrible bug where the movement keys get stuck as if they're being constantly pushed down. This bug has been inherent to AutoHotkey since it was created and there's nothing I can do about their code. 2. 0 does however eliminate most occurrences and make it so a subsequent press of the stuck key will free it. PLEASE do tell me about any effects you're experiencing.

DESCRIPTION

It's no secret to anyone what a screw up the key mapping in this game is. I'm sure half of us players use Loshirai14's excellent Better KB Layout, while the other half use Autohotkey. While Loshira's file works just fine, it doesn't really allow remapping for each user, at least not for your average non programing savvy player.

Autohotkey allows infinite remapping options, but learning to use it and opening/closing the app every darn time is kind of a hassle. Especially if you like having your game shortcut on the desktop or the start menu.

The best of both worlds is what I'm posting here. You DO need to install Autohotkey, but that's where the hassle ends. A simple batch file and a remap file is what you're getting. Much like Loshira's file, These open and run Both Autohotkey and DOA itself together, and closes them both when you exit to desktop from in-game. This effectively cleans the remapping so your keyboard goes back to normal the second you stop playing.

INSTRUCTIONS

You merely need to:

1. Download and Install AutoHotkey from HERE

2. Identify which executable you use to play the game (the vanilla game.exe, or the mod friendly gameSR.exe)

3. Download and extract the proper file and put the contents in the game folder (where game.exe is)

4. Double click "gameSR_VK_Remapped.bat" or "game_VK_Remapped.bat" to play.

By using this mod as it is, the M, J, K, L keys automatically change to the Arrow Keys. So:

To KICK you use RIGHT ARROW (Remember this also Cancels options in the menu, like L does)

To PUNCH you use UP ARROW

To GRAB/THROW you use DOWN ARROW (Remember this also Confirms options in the menu, like M does)

To GUARD/PARRY you use LEFT ARROW

And for the sake of convenience:

TAB opens the menu, like ENTER normally does.

RIGHT CONTROL scrolls option pages left like the key I does.

NumPad0 scrolls option pages right like the key U does.

Right Shift Taunts the opponent, like the key N does.

NumPad8 zooms IN during theater and navigates options up instead of the UP arrow key

NumPad5 zooms OUT during theater and navigates options down instead of the DOWN arrow key

NumPad4 pauses scenes during theater and navigates options left instead of the LEFT arrow key

NumPad6 resumes paused scenes during theater and navigates options right instead of the RIGHT arrow key
