Keyboard configuration

[AlexDeGuy]

I guess everyone is using gamepads, but anyway...

First, what's the difference between Cutoff Throw and Relay Throw? In MVP 2004 there was only Cutoff, now it's got renamed to Relay, but then what is Cutoff for?

Second, I can't get NumpadEnter to work as Relay throw. The throw meters comes up, but doesn't move, and the ball doesn't leave hand no matter how long I keep the key pressed. Of course, I can change the key assignment, but I got used to NPEnter in MVP2004 and would like to keep these settings. Looks as if NPEnter is bound to fake throw, and I can't change this. Anyone else had some similar problems with NPEnter?

you and me are probably the only ones who stay with the keyboard

I don't know the difference between cutoff and relay throw. I have fielding set at automatic by the computer , it's pretty hard to field with the keyboard. I would assume a cutoff throw is when the left fielder throws to 2nd baseman and then he throws to the catcher.

AlexDeGuy. In you controller.cfg find VPAD_VIRTUAL_BUTTON_R1= key sc_numpadenter, and change on another button. Must work fine.

I just don't like gamepads. Besides, they cost money that I'd rather spend somewhere else. :-)

Thanks, Valery! It really works fine. Remind me the next time you visit me that I owe you a beer. :pint: BTW, the next time I'll beat your Yankees with my Dodgers :club:
