Ports that need to be open
7777 (TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)
28902 (TCP/UDP)
For those who arent too skilled in using their routers GUIs:
Go to the router, turn it over, and look for a brand name and some kind of model number (Ex.: Linksys wrt54g, D-link DI-804). Once you have that go to this link and locate your model:
http://portforward.com/
Also, you'll need to either add an exception to the windows firewall or disable it altogether.
General PC Tweaks taken from the Official Borderlands Forums:
To disable the startup movies:
Within WillowEngine.ini:
Find:
Quote:
[FullScreenMovie]
StartupMovies=2K_logo
StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
StartupMovies=NVidia
StartupMovies=Loading
SkippableMovies=2K_logo
SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo
SkippableMovies=Attract
SkippableMovies=NVidia
and comment out lines like so:
Quote:
[FullScreenMovie]
//StartupMovies=2K_logo
//StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
//StartupMovies=NVidia
//StartupMovies=Loading
SkippableMovies=2K_logo
SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo
SkippableMovies=Attract
SkippableMovies=NVidia
If that doesn't work, replace the // with ;
To adjust FOV (Field of View):
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]. Below the chunk of bindings, add the following:
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="FOV 110",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
You can change the keys (F10 and F11) to whatever you'd like, as well as the FOV values.
TIP: It's being reported that the FOV gets reset whenever you sprint in an online game. As a workaround, you can add the FOV command to one of your movement keys, like I have. Example - my MoveForward binding looks like this (my forward key is E):
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="E",Command="MoveForward | Axis aGas Speed=+1.0 | FOV 96",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigge r=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgno reShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
To disable mouse smoothing:
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for "bEnableMouseSmoothing" and you should come across the following line:
Quote:
bEnableMouseSmoothing=True
Change to FALSE. This tremendously improves the feel of the mouse when looking around in-game and navigating the UI.
To disable/adjust weapon view bob:
Within WillowGame.ini:
Search for "bWeaponBob" and you should come across the following lines:
Quote:
bWeaponBob=TRUE
Bob=0.005
Edit accordingly. They should be pretty self explanatory. I can confirm the Bob numerical adjustment does work.
To enable VSync:
Within WillowEngine.ini:
Search for "UseVsync" and you should come across the following line:
Quote:
UseVsync=False
Change to TRUE.
To disable voice chat:
Within WillowEngine.ini:
Search for "bHasVoiceEnabled" and you should come across the following line:
Quote:
bHasVoiceEnabled=True
Change to FALSE.
To enable console:
*NOTE: This currently doesn't work correctly, it outputs all commands as 'SAY' commands*
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for "ConsoleKey" and you should come across the following line:
Quote:
ConsoleKey=
Add 'Tilde' after the equal sign to enable the console (should look like ConsoleKey=Tilde)
Enable Drop Weapon Key:
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]. Within that section, search for "ThrowWeapon". By default, it's bound to "Underscore" - I changed mine to V, so it looks like:
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="V",Command="ThrowWeapon",Control=F alse,Shift=False,Alt=False)
To make zoom a toggle (courtesy of Miker):
*NOTE: This has been reported to break turret fire while in a vehicle, as well as Brick's right click punch*
Within WillowInput.ini:
Add the text below under [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="ZoomIn",Command="StartAltFire | setbind RightMouseButton ZoomOut",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftT rigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False, bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Bindings=(Name="ZoomOut",Command="StopAltFire | setbind RightMouseButton ZoomIn",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTr igger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,b IgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Then, edit the preexisting RightMouseButton binding to reflect the change:
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="RightMouseButton",Command="advance dbutton bAdvancedButtonAux5",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt =False,LeftTrigger= False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnore Shift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
to
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="RightMouseButton",Command="ZoomIn" ,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigger= False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnore Shift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
To make crouch momentary (instead of toggle, courtesy of siberx):
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for the following line under [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]:
Quote:
advancedbutton bAdvancedButtonAux1 | SwitchSeats
and change to
Quote:
Duck | SwitchSeats
You can remove the SwitchSeats variable if you do not wish to have the key switch seats as well.
If this doesn't work, make sure this line exists under [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput], otherwise add it:
Bindings=(Name="Duck",Command="Button bDuck | Axis aUp Speed=-1.0 AbsoluteAxis=100",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=Fa lse,LeftTrigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCt rl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
To enable scroll wheel in text boxes:
*NOTE: This seems to only work within the Player Mission Log window (default key is L), and not the Mission window (when you receive missions from NPCs)*
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for all instances of the following (there should only be two instances):
Quote:
InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp",ModifierKeyFlags=42
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown",ModifierKeyFlags=42
remove the ",ModifierKeyFlags=42" so they look like:
Quote:
InputKeyName="MouseScrollUp"
InputKeyName="MouseScrollDown"
To make jumping feel less "floaty":
*NOTE: I haven't seen how this affects Multiplayer games, I have only tested in Single player*
Within WillowGame.ini:
Search for [Engine.WorldInfo] and look for the following line:
Quote:
DefaultGravityZ=-500
and change to
Quote:
DefaultGravityZ=-700
If this doesn't work, try making the changes within DefaultGame.ini located in your Borderlands install folder (Borderlands\WillowGame\Config)
Third Person Camera (courtesy of [BoX]SteroidFreud):
Original Post: [url]
http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com...ad.php?t=80533[/url]
Within WillowInput.ini:
Search for [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]. Below the chunk of bindings, add the following:
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="Camera ThirdPerson",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="Camera FirstPerson",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
F3 goes into third person, F4 switches back to first person. As such, you can swap out the keys (F3 and F4) to the keys of your liking.
Also I found this size fix less obnoxious than changing the font to stupid stupid:
