Don't suppose there's been much progress on fixing the schizophrenic keyboard issues? I miss my shift+up/down/left/right...

[StealthArcher]

I checked about the last 20 pages, and found no duplicate to my problem, so don't ***** at me please. >.>

I'm running a laptop,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gateway P-6831FX

with the following specifications,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

CPU: Intel C2D T9300 2.5
GPU: NVD 8800 MGT 512
4GB
Windows 7 RC 64b
Has been run in compatability for WXP, and Vista, and is in run-as-admin.

all drivers and crap are up to date.

Dwarf fortress runs in Fullscreen, with horrible clipping unless in ACCUM_BUFFER draw mode.  VSync does nothing to fix this with any setting.

Windowed mode brings up a window outline, but the inside never goes black or any other solid, it just copies your screen.

I have tried d11, d12, and d13.  All do this.  Any idea what is happening?

[Baughn]

Hard to tell. Could you try the linux version, see if that works?

[ikkonoishi]

Is there any way to make that MACRO flashing thing at the bottom right not show up all the time once I create a macro? The macro isn't currently running. This is in d13.

[eddyg86]

i give up on d13 sadly - every other version is fine and gives me good fps, but i made a 11x11 embark recently and while fps's were good with 7 dwarves, now with 37 and alot of stuff around it's down to 25-39 constantly - but with d13 my fps are massive! i could probably make a 20x20 map (i was considering a say 20x9 or so map when d13 is working again, a big belt of mountain running onto plain or something, who knows) that the fps on d13 is so good!

so to put it short, it's a shame that it's interface and keypresses are in such a (truthfully) unplayable state cos it runs so damn smooth it's like its a bug itself.

I use a labtop, the key bindings would benifit to have a labtop option that would alter the key bindings automaticaly for a deafult labtop setting. Each language keyboard setting is also diferent and it would benifit international users to be able to use bindings for there keyboard layout as an option, (I see this as a comunity contribution of the international users to supply the program with possible defult choosable setting)

[Baughn]

That's a good idea, and should be pretty simple to implement.

The input code needs to stabilize first (which means waiting for d14), but once that's out you should ask Veroule about it; he'd be the one to implement it, so I don't want to agree on his behalf.

[Q-Lok]

I'm definitely with Teloft on this one.  I'm used to the old keybinding system, and I'm also on a laptop, so it's been pretty much really difficult for me to get anything working worth anything with the new files.  Also, for some reason my current fort crashes 40d13 upon loading the save.

[gamegreen33]

Okay...So I am playing and for some reason every time I try to designate and I move my mouse, without clicking it just basically designates everything my cursor goes over. What gives?

Okay, upon closer inspection, my mouse is...stuck on click. And it isn't my mouse because I obviously have no problem using Firefox and none of my other versions of DF work fine.

AGH

I mean, none of my other versions of DF have any problems.

Damned words!

Also, moving the mouse out of DF doesn't help.

[Rose]

it's a know bug, I beleie it's already fixed in the version that we can't have yet.

[ikkonoishi]

Yeah go into init.txt and disable your mouse completely for d13. That will let you actually play with it.

[Baughn]

According to Toady, d14 should be out by tomorrow or so.. unless he gets in a good run fixing stuff for the next real release, in which case it might be longer.

At any rate, your suffering is soon to end. Have faith.

Great to hear.

Has the zoom/gridsize been fixed right for d14?  I'm worried that since BLACK_SPACE is looked down on and the gridsize will be on autopilot, it might not be possible anymore to have a 1:1 font scale when the font size does not divide the screen resolution evenly.

However, it would be great if F12 were fixed to snap to the best resolution with a 1:1 font, instead of the close-but-not-crisp display it now gives.

[Baughn]

I've been thinking about it, and I do have a better algorithm in mind, but I can't really fix anything before d14 is out; the keyboard mess makes it impossible to test for me too.

Altering the zooming code should create no requirement for a d15, though; you'll be able to follow d14-head as it's fixed.

[Veroule]

I will have to think about how I could handle distinct sets of binding mappings for better international and laptop support.  Mostly I am of the mind to say that various custom interface.txt files should be available in the wiki for download.

I am not adverse to making the interface.txt loading sequence able to look at multiple files.  Maybe adding some UNKEY tags and multiple files would be easiest for users.  I could also split the macros into seperate files to make sharing them easier.

Message me with any ideas you have and it will go from there.
