I recently refunded Dungeon Hack on Steam and bought it on GOG instead so I could both play it offline, and not have to deal with both the Steam launcher and the Forgotten Realms Archive - Collection Three launcher constantly being open in the background. However, I'm having an issue with trying to remap the controls in the GOG version.

Freshly installed, the GOG version of Dungeon uses the arrow keys to move up, down, strafe left, and strafe right, which is already different from the Steam version, which uses the original numpad layout. That wasn't too much of a problem, as I just opened the DOSBox remapper and changed those controls to WASD. What is a problem, however, is I have no idea which keys are mapped to turn left and turn right.

I've searched various forums for answer, and come up with nothing. I've tried remapping numpad_7/numpad_9, I've tried remapping home/pg up, I've tried copy and pasting the mapper-0.74-2.map file from various posts online, nothing has worked so far.

Perhaps it shouldn't matter, but have you tried KP7/KP9 with numlock on or off?

Gotcha: Perhaps it shouldn't matter, but have you tried KP7/KP9 with numlock on or off?
Yes. The problem is that GOG has changed the default controls of the game to the arrow keys for moving, but doesn't inform you what the new controls for turning are, meaning it is impossible to re-map them.

You may want to try a fresh install of Dungeon Hack. Maybe in a different folder.

I just decided to install a fresh copy from the offline installer (setup_dungeon_hack_v1.0_(28044).exe).

For me both the arrow keys AND the numpad work for movement, as long as the numlock is set properly. 7 & 9 turn as expected.
Only other thing i did was set the sound settings

EDIT:
Decided to play with the keymapper a bit. Was able to successfully remap the controls to wasd. This is what I did.

While running the game in DosBOX use Ctrl-F1 to open the mapper.
Click on the numberpad 7 on the virtual keyboard.
"Add Blind" and push q on your real keyboard.
"Next Bind" and the bind for 2/2 Keypad 7 should appear.
"Remove Bind"
Click on q on the virtual keyboard
"Remove Bind"

Follow this for the rest of wasd controls.

IMPORTANT: You may also need to remap the numlock key as I found the remapped keys wouldn't work with the numlock in the wrong on/off state.

I did as you said, and installed Dungeon Hack just straight onto my desktop, instead of the GOG Galaxy Games folder. Interestingly enough, my install does not contain the setup file that you specified (I searched every single folder). And as before, the arrow keys, which I am able to remap to WASD (I always have), are the default controls on a fresh install.

The numpad does nothing on the GOG version of the game, trying both with numlock off and numpad on.

The setup_dungeon_hack_v1.0_(28044).exe is the offline download that is from the GOG website, not GOG galaxy. Not that it should make any difference, as they should install the same files.

Did you also remove the bindings for q, w, e, a, s ,d?

In any case here's the contents of my mapper-0.74-2.map. You should be able to open yours in the Dungeon Hack install folder (use notepad or something similar) and replace the contents.

For me with this setup, upon starting the game wasd will not work. Press 'n' once to toggle the numlock and the controls will then function normally. (numlock has been bound to 'n' in this mapper) 'q' and 'e' rotate left and right respectively.

Hopefully, this will work for you!

If it doesn't, the only other thing I can suggest is changing GOG's included version of DOSBox for a newer one like DOSBox Staging or DOSBox ECE. It would be a long shot, but maybe GOG's version of DOSBox doesn't work properly with your particular setup.

Happy Gaming.

Oh my god, that worked! I've been troubleshooting this issue for a week and a half now, unable to play the game, but now I finally can. I think the crucial part was remapping the numlock key to turn it on/off while in-game, because my physical keyboard doesn't have a numlock key, so the only way I've been able to toggle it until now has been using the virtual on-screen keyboard. It worked just as you said; launch the game, arrow keys work. Press N, now WASD/QE work. Thank you for your help!
