Crysis/Wars Keybinds

Keybinds are extremely useful in many games. Certain keyboards and mice allow you to bind a function to a key to server as a shortcut. It can be an autobuy script, switch bind or name change bind.

Crysis in general doesn't allow you to bind a key to multiple functions. You can however edit your actionmaps.xml located at MyDocuments/MyGames/Crysis(Wars)/profiles/(yourprofilename)

In this folder you will find three files and sometimes a folder. I will explain what each file does or contains. The "profile.xml" contains your ingame name. If you wish to rename without changing any setting, simply open this file and edit the name. Make sure to change the folder name too. If you are not interested about this, simply ignore profile.xml.

Attributes.xml stores all your game preferences. Server filters, graphic settings and anything else that is found in the Options menu. If you want to use a custom cfg, it is recommended to do this on your autoexec.cfg as this is usually overwritten by the game.

And finally "attributes.xml", the single file that contains all your key maps. If you have enough keys in your keyboard, it is better to edit any key ingame rather than this file. If you wish to assign a key to multiple functions, this is the place. I only modified Weapon Attachment and added the Nanosuit functions to keys.

This is the weapon attachment code.

  <action name="speedmode" onPress="1">
   <key name="lshift"/>
  </action>
  <action name="strengthmode" onPress="1">
   <key name="e"/>
  </action>
  <action name="defensemode" onPress="1">
   <key name="q"/>
  </action>

Hud_select 1 is Silencer, 2 Laser/light, 3 GrenadeLauncher, 4 Scope/reflex, 5 is not used in MP.
In this file I have mapped Q to attach the Silencer, R for LAM and F for scope/reflex. You can use any key for this.

And the dreaded "keybinds"

  <action name="speedmode" onPress="1">
   <key name="lshift"/>
  </action>
  <action name="strengthmode" onPress="1">
   <key name="e"/>
  </action>
  <action name="defensemode" onPress="1">
   <key name="q"/>
  </action>

Hidden shortcuts of the Nanosuit. As you can see each action name describes the function.
Speedmode is speed and so on. Keyname is the actual key. You can use any key you want here.

That is all ;)
