[40d2 - 40d6] Azerty gone Qwerty [FIXED]
« on: January 02, 2009, 02:59:38 pm »
Not sure if this has been noticed before since most people own qwerty keyboards, but my azerty keyboard is being treated like it's a qwerty (A = Q, Z = W etc and vice versa) in the latest beta releases. I don't have this problem with the current official 40d release so I'm worried that in future releases this problem may persist if I do not mention it.

Also worth mentioning is that when I try shifting between keyboard modes (pressing alt + shift alters between qwerty and azerty on my system) the game treats it like a qwerty no matter what it's on.

I don't see dicks...  I'd hate to ask people to point them out.

i dont get the exact same effect, but something similiar. im working on german keyboard (y = z etc), and with 40d2 - 40d6 i always have english keyboard layout. no matter what i do. thought this would fit here

Couldn't you just change the key bindings?

I figured demons came from the 50 or so years of inbreeding between the things, like some weird goblin evolution.
I now have justification for genocide. Thank you.

It's because the game doesn't look for actual letters, just the keys themselves.

Changing the key bindings so they make sense for your keyboard is an option, but I imagine it'd be difficult. I don't even know if there's keybindings for individual letters (for text entry screens and such).

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

....and the reason DF used to recognize and now doesn't is because of the new OGL code, I'm betting.

Untelligent: True, but it would be a partial fix (if it was absolutely necessary to do so. as in game-breaking necessary.) until the bug is fixed.

Draco: That's quite likely the case.

I felt I should note this has been fixed as of 40d7. Thanks Toady!
