another keybiding menu problem : movies
« on: August 08, 2006, 01:25:00 pm »

It should not be possible to access the movie menue while on the keybiding menue. Apparently the opening of the movie menu has a top priority. And for exemple, if, like I did you put by mistake "Enter" as the key for the movie key, you can't select anything anymore...

and an other weird feature :
As I understand you imported your own getch() function to your libraries ? It behavec quite weirdly in fact. For exemple, for the letters it recognise them : if I press a "a", it writtes a, while usually if the programm believes I have a QWERTY keyboard, it will write "q". Ok, so Dwarf Fortress seems to deal correctly with my keyboard. But as I told in an other post it mixes with the symbols (mixes "?" and ">" and all sorts of stuff)

This a weird behaviour I had never met befor.  Maybe it might help you... Maybe it simply comes from the getch you imported. Don't know.

I think I ended up with a kind of...  half-way between virtual keys and getch() setup that seemed like a good idea 2 years ago.  Now that the interface has been fully placed in the interface.txt file, it shouldn't be as much work to make a complete transistion, at which point, I'm sure there will be other issues.  Hopefully the virtual keys route is the right way to go, I'm not really a windows type programmer, or a programmer in general.

I don't know. The getch()I use recognises my keys without any problem.

(I use LCC-win32 compiler. I think that it is open source somwhere)

With the next release I'm gonna try to stick to virtual keys without too much fiddling, and we'll see how that goes.
