Launching Gothic 1 should imply Gothic 1 controls as default #595

Closed oaken-source closed 1 month ago

The game seems to default to Gothic 2 controls, unless useGothic1Controls=1 is specified in Gothic.ini.

This is okay, unless you launch Gothic 1, which of course doesn't include this setting in a standard install. This has caused me some head scratching and digging to figure it out, and I think it would be clearer to default to the Gothic 1 control schemes if Gothic 1 is launched (for example triggered by the -g1 command line flag?)

And I also notice that the setting for Gothic 1 controls seems to only change the fighting style of the game, not interactions with objects? I can pick up items on the ground just by pressing one key, as opposed to the key+direction combo required by the original.

Hi @oaken-source !

Yes, G1-controls are affecting only a fighting style, as it was in original G2 game. And since G1 is not officially supported, dedicated control scheme was simply not implemented.

it would be clearer to default to the Gothic 1 control schemes if Gothic 1

Yes, you right. This was not intentional, and I think useGothic1Controls=1 can be default for both games, as it most popular one.
