I don't know what happened but today I was going to try someones map when I find I can't move in game I can look around and press esc but thats it and all the mouse buttons don't work. When I went to change the keyboard settings nothing was there. What can I do?

options -> keyboard -> use defaults

Well I did say nothing came up on the keyboard menu so thats no use

Not even the 'defaults' button, you mean?

Just edit config.cfg. That should have a ton of bindings in.

Did a config.cfg file come with that map?

The defaults button is there but nothing else and when I click the button nothing happens. And I wouldent know how to edit the config.cfg

The config.cfg file located in Half-Life/valve. You can open this file with any text based program, since cfg files are just text files. So open that file in a text editor, like notepad, and delete everything inside. The paste the following text in the file and save it. These are the default keyboard settings.

Thats what I get Even though I replace the congfig, and It does make the config.cgf. Anyone know what it could be?

You're probably missing kb_act.lst (or it doesn't contain anything), which defines all of the possible commands. This belongs in the <mod>gfxshell folder. There should also be a kb_def.lst (defaults) and a kb_keys.lst (possible keys bindable).

Here's the default kb_act.lst.

"blank" "=========================="
"blank" "#Valve_Movement_Title"
"blank" "=========================="
"+forward" "#Valve_Move_Forward"
"+back" "#Valve_Move_Back"
"+left" "#Valve_Turn_Left"
"+right" "#Valve_Turn_Right"
"+moveleft" "#Valve_Move_Left"
"+moveright" "#Valve_Move_Right"
"+jump" "#Valve_Jump"
"+duck" "#Valve_Duck"
"+moveup" "#Valve_Swim_Up"
"+movedown" "#Valve_Swim_Down"
"+lookup" "#Valve_Look_Up"
"+lookdown" "#Valve_Look_Down"
"centerview" "#Valve_Look_Straight_Ahead"
"+strafe" "#Valve_Strafe_Modifier"
"+mlook" "#Valve_Mouse_Look_Modifier"
"+klook" "#Valve_Keyboard_Look_Modifier"
"+use" "#Valve_Use_Items"
"blank" "=========================="

"invprev" "#Valve_Previous_Weapon"
"invnext" "#Valve_Next_Weapon"
"lastinv" "#Valve_Last_Weapon_Used"
"blank" "=========================="

"snapshot" "#Valve_Take_Screen_Shot"
"save quick" "#Valve_Quick_Save"
"load quick" "#Valve_Quick_Load"
"pause" "#Valve_Pause_Game"
"quit" "#Valve_Quit_Game"

I'm not sure if it works without the kb_keys.lst, though. Just give it a try.

I have both the kb_def,lst and kb_act.lst and they both have stuff in them.
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-20 05:25:02 UTC Post #158719
does this happen in all steam apps or just HL?

Is only in HL, all the HL mods work fine
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-20 19:06:55 UTC Post #158810
Try deleting the kb_act.lst and kb_def.lst that are in the valvegfxshell folder.

This will cause the game to load the origninal files from the half-life.gcf
