How to change camera keybinds
By Bioturtle18
Emergency 4 being released in 2006 was created around camera controls based on the arrow keys. Most people in the modern era prefer WASD or in rare cases other types of binds.

This guide will help you change your keybinds for the camera and even more functions.

Note:
If you have experience in browsing files on steam you can skip the first 3 steps. I am very bad at drawing with a mouse so pls forgive me :P

Ignore i cut the file last modified dates i am big dumb.

I know TheNorthernAlex has a tutorial on this, but i felt this would be a more digestible format.

You can watch TheNorthernAlex's video here if you'd prefer a video (note its from 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJzJ61orcno&t=401s


Step 1
Sadly unlike most games there is no menu to change it. Therefore, you must go down the fire rabbit hole.

First step is to right click on your Emergency 4 directory and click properties.
Step 2
Next you click local files
Step 3
Then you need to click browse
Step 4
Then click data
Step 5
Next you scroll down to Specs
Step 6
Scroll down to the file "keys.xml" and you need to rename this file to "keys.txt"

This should be what your file looks like after it is renamed



Then you need to click on it
Step 7
Now you need to rename the files i have highlighted to the correct keybind. The keys in the very rough rectangle are the keys that you need to change. (note i already have my keybinds changed to the WASD layout).

After that you need to rename your file to "keys.xml" and your done!
End
I hope you found this guide helpful. If you have questions please leave them below and ill get to them next time im online!

NP stands for number pad. NP0 is "0" button on your number pad, the same with NP1,NP2, NP+. LCtrl means the left Ctrl button on your keyboard, RCtrl means the right Ctrl button

This is interesting! Do you know or have access to a guide as to what the individual key names are? Like NP0, et cetera?

While your in the free game you'd like to save. Go to the menu and click "saved games" and click "save".
