Does anyone know what system this is using

forward = w
back = s
jump = r

hexadecimal, I believe

 

[Davros]

but how for example do i get from "W" to " { 0x11 } { 0x48 }

ther is no x in hex so if i take 0x11 as 11 in hex and convert to dec that gives me 17 how does 17 relate to "W" the 17th letter is "Q" ??? and then there is the 0x48 how does that fit in ???

I don't know what those keys map to but it's hex code in C from what I can tell from the Wiki.

We have WASD of course, ASD being 0x4B through 0x4D which would lead me to guess crouch (0x4F) is H. If that's true at least you've got your home row and base movement keys to work with but beyond that I'm afraid I'm somewhat stumped. I haven't done anything beyond rudimentary C programming in 10+ years.

I'd guess they are using keyboard scancodes:

Er... character arrays with curly bracket delimited ASCII codes in hex? Put it in a XML too whydon'tcha? The lengths some people will go to workaround the straightforward solution never fails to impress.

I'm pretty sure this is from an old game.

this explains it better

im really interested in this string
" { 0x38 0x4 } { } { } { } { }"

edit: if it is scancodes the above would be ALT 3

According to the link CarstenB posted, 0x38 is LAlt and 0x4 is 3/#.

And it fits because 0x1c is enter and 0x48 is num8. I mean, come on Davros, you could have figured this out from the link yourself.

I only visited the link after posting
and it does seem to be spot on - tnx....
