korell: Carmageddon Max Pack is a DOSBox bundled game. Why not just use the key remapper provided in DOSBox itself?

xboxexpert: I got pissed off when playing on the number pad and I wanted WASD to be Accelerate, BREAK, Left and Right but unfortunately S is hardcoded to sound toggle ON/OFF for the entire game. So I started editing the keymap file and got to hacking the KEYMAP_3.txt file in CARMA\DATA

KEYMAP.TXT is default game keymap configuration
KEYMAP_0.txt is Alternative Configuration control “A” settings
KEYMAP_1.txt is Alternative Configuration control “B” settings
KEYMAP_2.txt is Alternative Configuration control “C” settings
KEYMAP_3.txt is Alternative Configuration control “D” settings

I use Notepad ++ to mod texts and html file so I’ll use that as reference when I talk about lines. Every line is a different function and ever number is a key mapped to keyboard button. I figured out the following then got tired but achieved my purpose.

Lines for in-game functions
37 = Sound
49 = Accelerate
50 = Reverse

Numbers for Keyboard keys
39 = S

The only key I wanted to disable and migrate was the S key for game function Sound ON/OFF…be sure your sound works before you delete the function, duh.

Edit LINE 37 which is the hardcoded S key for in-game sound and make it 00 to disable it
Edit LINE 50 which is the function for reverse and put the number 39

We just disabled the hardcoded S for Sound ON/OFF and made S reverse

Happy gaming….I’d really like to spend some time mapping out that file and the keys to have full control of the game keys but would that make me a nutcase? P.S this also works for the SPLAT PACK "CARSPLAT\DATA"

smuggly: Explain please. I'm using the win 95 hacked exe if it matters
