Thunder, I hope you got a juicy Friday feature for tomorrow... One about some other aspect of the combat upgrade.

I tried the new controls and I guess Im just too used to the current "alt" setup. (I actually dont use the alt key, I use instead the middle mouse button to switch modes.)

For anyone who wants to try the new modes, you goto Options, Controls, Keymap then from "load a standard keymap" drop down list you choose one of the new ones, which have "TEST" appended to them.

AKA tomorrow!! I hope....





-I support a Galactic Civil War fought between regular, average players... Simply strict, hardlined Imperials & freedom lovin' Rebels fighting for control of the galaxy. A Galactic Civil War fought not with glowsticks or lightsabers, but with blasters, lances, and how much guts you have. A Galactic Civil War which reflects the timeline, the destruction of the Death Star, the absolute control which the Empire has and the brave Rebels trying to break up that reign... The extinction of all but a few rare and special Jedi. That my friends, is the Galactic Civil War and that is what we have to aim for.

Please, pretty please allow the option to keep the current SWG interface "alt key" functions.


I love it with my trackball and "wheel, 3rd button."


I totally hate the EQ2 interface of the "mouse functions"


Maybe send some papers over to that department and allow an option there for SWG style.


I've tried many things over there and just can't get their mouse functions to work the way I like them.



Heck while you're at it get them to pick up the SWG character creation too !! hehe


Honestly of all the games I've played in my years, SWG has hands down the best character creation.


I honestly thought every game made since SWG would have copied it !!

I told you they'd make it easier for you !
Coming Pub 20- Group members no longer add to a Jedi's visibility
And so it continues !

I havn't read all the responses in this post, so I'll appologize now if this is a repeat.


There are approximately 80 usable keys in the game counting letters,numbers,function keys, and the number pad.

By using combinations of Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Alt+Shift, Alt+Ctrl, Ctrl+Shift, and Alt+Ctrl+Shift, there are approx. 640 potential key bindsin the game. With only 100 or so reserved by the game itself and 56 reserved for typing, this still leaves lots of room for "personalizing" our game play.

(yes...I have macro keybinds that use Alt+Ctrl+Shift+key)



2 requests...... #1 please please PLEASE, just don't disable the Alt button with this new setup

(many would lose a LOT of keybinds)


Request #2- We really need a clientside option tosave our customizations.

(ie-the ability to use the same custom keybinds/layout with multiple characters)



The only options available now are to spend extensive time customizingeach character that's accessable on the same computer, or copy, paste and rename an existingUIS file.

(\StarWarsGalaxies\profiles\account name\server name\xxxx.UIS) [xxxx=unique character id]

What I'd like to see is a set up like the ground game in space. Where I can just type to type! I hate if I forget to hit enter or type / and type to fast with out waiting a second for it to register and haveing aquadzillion screens pop up.

thank god for having us able to keep the old settings cause i hate the WASD keymap in MMORPG's




I prefer the set up as it is. I hated the EQ2 setup when I played it. I guess SWG works the way I like it already.

I know this is a necropost, but I need to ask...


How on earth do you bring up the radial menu with this new keyboard layout? I think that the rest of the layout is great, but I simply can't seem to bring up a radial by holding left click on something.
