Enter is no longer working while during game time (after startup sequence) to end chat. I have tried renaming my defaultProfile.xml to see if this was the problem. It worked, however I can no longer use my mouse wheel bindings or my TAG on function binding. I have tried 3 different options inside the section 22, "Mech" defaultProfile.xml to attempt to fix it.

Option 1. Inserted the following: (This didn't work)

<action name="end_chat" onPress="1" joystick=""> <keyboard> <inputdata input="enter"/> <inputdata input=""/> </keyboard> </action>

Option 2. Inserted the following: (didn't work/locked up the game)

<action keyboard="enter" name="end_chat" onPress="1" keyboard="enter" />

Option 3. Inserted the following: (didn't work)

<action name="end_chat" onPress="1"keyboard="enter"/>

The .xml viewer doesn't show the text the same as a text editor. Option 3 is contained in a seperate action section 22 , HUD however just copying/pasting also didn't work. The .xml viewer says <action keyboard="enter" name="end_chat" onPress="1"> but both the source code and the text editor just says <action name="end_chat" onPress="1" keyboard="enter"/>

Any suggestions that will allow the keeping of the mouse wheel bindings?

Noticed the following.

In my previous defaultProfile.xml the chat functions were contained in the "hud" section. In the newest TAG tweak the chat now has it's own "chat" section, Additionally there is a new "scoreboard" function for those of us with the tab flash. Going to switch this out with the previous full "hud" section and give it a go

<actionmap name="chat" version="22">
<action name="start_chat" onPress="1" keyboard="t" />
<action name="start_team_chat" onPress="1" keyboard="y" />
<action name="end_chat" onPress="1" keyboard="enter" />
</actionmap>

<actionmap name="scoreboard" version="22">
<action name="show_scoreboard" onHold="1" onRelease="1" keyboard="tab" />
</actionmap>

<actionmap name="hud" version="22">
<action name="toggle_Weapon_Group" onPress="1" keyboard="rctrl" joystick="j0_button7"/>
<action name="HUD_up" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.2" holdRepeatDelay="0.25" keyboard="up" joystick="j0_pov0_up"/>
<action name="HUD_down" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.2" holdRepeatDelay="0.25" keyboard="down" joystick="j0_pov0_down"/>
<action name="HUD_left" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.2" holdRepeatDelay="0.25" keyboard="left" joystick="j0_pov0_left"/>
<action name="HUD_right" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.2" holdRepeatDelay="0.25" keyboard="right" joystick="j0_pov0_right"/>
</actionmap>

I've noticed the same problem. It's only during actual gameplay though. On the pre- and post-game status screens I can chat without problems...

Went ahead and replaced the old TAG on defaultprofile.xml with the new one, rebound the mwheel_up and mwheel down functions in actionmaps.xml and everything is working again. Additionally the options menu for my rebound keys actually shows the text mwheel_up and mwheel down now. Before it didn't.

Thought it might be something like that. I ended up doing a full reinstall (I wanted to move the install location anyway). That seems to have cured it too. Sledgehammer to crack a nut though.

Is that a full reinstall including wiping your profile? I do a full reinstall each patch but keep my profile (sans shader cache) and I'm getting the no-chat problem about 50% of the time. :)

During actual gameplay Ill also find all or only a few of my chat keybinds are working. Its kinda a pain when one is running a light mech to scout.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, so been difficult to reproduce.

I effectively deleted my entire install folder and created a new one, so yes, it would have created a new profile.

You don't need to replace your whole profile, just your edited defaultProfile.xml file. They made some changes to the format. The original file (as of 9 April 2013) is below. You'll have to merge it with whatever changes you made.
