file where profile settings are stored

does anyone know which file this is? i want to attempt to manually add alternate keys for certain controls (oddly, the interface cannot save them.)

Re: file where profile settings are stored

I think it's multiple files.  Look in C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings.  It may be that your settings are not getting saved because of a permissions issue, so you might try changing permissions on that folder.  For control settings you might dig down further from this folder into C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Custom\Controls and you should see files named Air.con, Common.con, Infantry.con, and Land.con.  These might be what you are looking for.

thank you, they were exactly what i wanted to find; apparently, movement keys are not supposed to have alternates, as adding extra lines to add alternate functions overwrites the primary key.
