Separating Profile Keybindings?

[iRageGGB]

Is there a way to separate profile keybindings, my brother (InsaneSeal) has a separate gaming profile than me, but we share the same Keybindings and settings, which is really annoying because he has some really weird key binds.

So I need to separate the binds from each profile, I don't want to have to set them EVERYTIME I go in.

Please help, and thanks for any helpful info

You could make 2 copies of InputProfile_User.xml, and write scripts to switch between them.

Set your keybindings, exit the game, and then cut/paste "InputProfile_User.xml" to your desktop for the moment.
The game will automatically recreate the file the next time you start it up.
Have your brother set up his keys, exit the game, and then rename the file to "InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal".
Then cut/paste the first one with your keybindings back from your desktop into the install folder.

Then write 2 batch files.


The batch file your brother uses to start the game would:

-check for a file named "InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal" and if it's not found, then start the game immediately,

-then rename "InputProfile_User.xml" to "InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB",

-then rename "InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal" to "InputProfile_User.xml",

-then start the game.


Your batch file would:

-check for a file named "InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB", and if it's not found, then start the game immediately,

-then rename "InputProfile_User.xml" to "InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal",

-then rename "InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB" to "InputProfile_User.xml",

-then start the game.



This would be the batch file you'd use to start Planetside2:

IF NOT EXIST InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB GOTO Play
REN InputProfile_User.xml InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal
REN InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB InputProfile_User.xml
:Play
START LaunchPad.exe

Copy/paste the code into notepad, save it as "iRageGGB.bat" in your Planetside2 install directory, and make a desktop shortcut to it. Use that shortcut to start the game and your keybindings will be set appropriately.



This would be your brother's batch file:

IF NOT EXIST InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal GOTO Play
REN InputProfile_User.xml InputProfile_User.xml.iRageGGB
REN InputProfile_User.xml.InsaneSeal InputProfile_User.xml
:Play
START LaunchPad.exe

Copy/paste the code into notepad, save it as "InsaneSeal.bat" in your Planetside2 install directory, and make a desktop shortcut to it. Your brother would use that shortcut to start the game and his keybindings will be set appropriately.

Make sure the "start in" field of the desktop shortcuts points to your Planetside2 install directory.
