1.2.2 - Trigger Arrow Changes + Keyboard Config

We just uploaded a new update for everyone on Steam, tying up loose ends after the release of the Dark World Expansion.

The biggest change, by popular demand, is that Trigger Arrows now have a dedicated detonate button. There's also a new keyboard configuration menu. It lets you rebind the keys from in-game, assign multiple players per-keyboard, and saves your settings in Steam Cloud!

The full changelog is below. Thanks for playing :)

Gameplay Changes:
  • Alt shoot button (B on xb360 controllers) now detonates trigger arrows rather than primary shoot button
  • Added a screen explaining how to detonate trigger arrows to Darkfang. It will only show once per play session, and you can disable it by disabling tips in the Options menu
  • Catching a flaming arrow now lights you on fire
  • Rebalanced a few Twilight Spire stages
  • Added [???]


Controls:
  • Added an in-game Keyboard Config menu
  • The config menu allows for multiple keyboard players, but be warned that most keyboards will drop keypresses when multiple players try to use them at once!
  • Moved keyboard config data to tf_savedata, so that it works with Steam Cloud
  • If you have no gamepads connected when you start the game, the menu will show you the keyboard controls
  • Even if you have 4 gamepads connected, you can now still use the keyboard to navigate the menus
  • Added option to disable all DirectInput gamepads on Windows


Fixes:
  • Fixed 'Ghost Friend' bug
  • Fixed depth issue with the King on King's Court in Versus mode
