Controls and gameplay tweaks and fixes (AZERTY flashlight vaulting camera etc)

Control fixes

You will need to edit a file named CustomizeControls.cfg

This file is located in

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Stalker2\Saved\

or (which is the same)

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\

(YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME is your actual user name in your system)

Find it and open it with regular windows Notepad (Notepad++ is better, if you have it).

Quit the game, make the edits (see the instructions below), save and close the file, launch the game to test the changes.

AZERTY ladder movement fix

In CustomizeControls.cfg find a line that contains this text:

Delete it, so you've got an empty space in between Sleep = and NoInput = lines.

Open CustomizeControls.cfg. Ladder.part.txt from the mod's package.

Copy the full content of CustomizeControls.cfg. Ladder.part.txt and paste it to that empty space in between Sleep = and NoInput = lines.

If you have changed some of your bindings in-game before, then instead of Ladder = section you might see this:

Ladder : struct.begin

here will be definitions of the keys you have customized before with in-game settings

In this case, paste just the ascend/descent entries themselves and change and indexes accordingly, i.e. if you have entry inside Ladder context already used by something else, then change indexes to and .

Key = Z and Key = S can be changed to anything else, if you're no using AZERTY (nor QWERTY) and have issues moving up/down ladders.

AZERTY unarmed fix

Fixes a problem with unarmed action bound to Z in item selector wheel, so when you move, you always end up with no weapon.

In CustomizeControls.cfg find this line:

ItemSelector : struct.begin

You will see several entries there, most probably will be for MoveForward, because you were changing it to Z.

Find the last one, for me it has index and is for ItemSelector_Detector.

Copy the text from CustomizeControls.cfg. Unarmed.part.txt and paste it after your last entry. Be careful to respect struct.begin - struct.end pairs!

Make sure to change the new entry index which is in my case to match your file: for example, if your last entry has index , then the entry for Unarmed will have index .
