BUG: New Keybind Profile and Keybinds.txt Behavior Wonky

[BlackSpectre]

OK. I have a couple friends who are miffed about the bind changes and in trying to help them, I ran across 2 bugs...

 

1. When /bind_save is used it SOMETIMES will erase the entire keybinds.txt file except for the profile name, including all custom keybinds. Sometimes it will save only the binds that are different than the default keybinds on the server, but then it also truncates the keybind.txt file. My keybinds.txt is 157 lines. After /bind_save, it was 63 lines AND none of the keys below CTRL+NUMPAD1 were there in the file. Of course, if you then reload keybinds.txt, it will overwrite all of the custom binds below line 63 on the server and set them all to server default. If you load in a blank keybinds.txt, it will reset all your keybinds to server default whether the server has retained your custom keybinds or not beforehand.

 

2. If you have made custom keybinds and you switch to a different keybind profile, SOMETIMES it will remove the custom keybind in favor of the server default. If you switch profiles twice, it will ALWAYS remove your custom keybind from the server... and this is all without touching /bind_save or /bind_load. 

 

My understanding is that:

 

1. When /bind_save is used, the server will match every bind in the file against the server default binds and then remove the matched binds from keybinds.txt, leaving only the custom binds in keybinds.txt. This is not happening.

 

2.  When switching profiles, the custom keybinds will remain the same for every profile no matter what profile you have set in Options. This is also not happening. Worse, it erases your custom keybind from the server completely when you switch back to the original profile.

 

This effectively renders the entire keybinding system non-functional. If you can't save your custom keybinds back into keybinds.txt, when switching profiles or saving binds, your custom keybinds are lost and unable to be restored. This is especially true if you are a player who only uses the Option Window to set custom keybinds. Poof! Gone. 

 

What's worse, if you do not have a backup of your finely curated keybinds.txt file, if you happen to  save your binds, you're screwed. All that work is down the drain. 

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 😞
