Most of the keybindings can be changed faily easily in-game with the built in control editor, but some of what I want to setup just cant be done from there so all of the examples from this guide are snipits from "User.ini" - which is where the game reads and writes your configuration.

Under Windows the User.ini file is stored in the Killing floor game directory
Where {SteamPath} depends upon where you installed Steam to - if you let it do its default thing it will be one of the following:

The keybings are all in the section marked:

Note: This section contains a selection of Aliases, and many Unreal keybinding tutorials use aliases for advanced techniques, but so far all my experiments to add new aliases have failed - and others have reported failure in the tripwire forums - you have been warned!

I would strongly suggest taking a copy of this file before you start - just in case :)

If you completely screw up your bindings and what to know what the originals were then look here
But do NOT edit this file - you have been warned!

This leaves key 5 as the Med Syringe, and moves the Welder onto key 6

• 5=GetWeapon KFMod.Syringe
  
• 6=GetWeapon KFMod.Welder | GetWeapon KFStoryGame.KF_PawnWelder

Changing these keybindings takes a little bit of getting used to, but helps enourmously in the long run. So much so that I was completely lost when I found that Steamland used a non-standard Welder and the basic version didnt work, but a search of the code found the alternate name and these bindings now work everywhere.

It is useful to make sure that the whole team knows when a Scake or Fleshpound are incomming, and trying to type it in chat wastes far too much time so lets automate it - and add an audible warning as well because people can miss the chat messages when things are hectic!

• F1=teamsay fp! | Speech AUTO 12
  
• F2=teamsay sc! | Speech AUTO 14

This puts them on F1 and F2 that are easy to reach from the default movement controls.

I'm sure that everyone who plays KF knows that you can hit "V" to bring up a two level menu of useful team informational messages, but trying to remeber all those number combinations can be a real chore so lets give some of the useful ones their own keys. (afterall one of the advantages of PC gaming is the we have so many more buttons to play with :)

Most of these take their natural key (except where that is already in use e.g. WSAD)

First some basic ones

• H=speech SUPPORT 1
  
• M=speech SUPPORT 0
  
• L=speech ALERT 0
  
• Y=speech ACK 0
  
• N=speech ACK 1

H = Help, M = Medic, L = Look out!, Y = Yes, N = No

Most basic camping directions

• LeftBracket=speech ALERT 4
  
• RightBracket=speech ALERT 5
  
• SingleQuote=speech ALERT 3

[ = Lets hole up here, ] = Follow me, ' = Weld the doors

Some other directions

• I=speech DIRECTION 3
  
• O=speech DIRECTION 4
  
• U=speech DIRECTION 1
  
• j=speech DIRECTION 2

I = Inside, O = Outside, U = Upstairs, J = Downstairs
J may seem a little odd here, but its just under U on the keyboads

Often miss something in the chat and wish you could go back and see what was said? Well know you can

• Z=InGameChat

This brings up an onscreen window with the chat history in it, you can move and resize the window with the mouse. But beware - it is easy to get savaged while trying to read old chat messages!

Not quite quite sure which trader you are supposed to be going to while trying to keep that last Zed alive? Then show the trader path when you want it!

• X=BasePath 0 | onrelease BasePath 1
