i'm having some problems, i logged into my server, everything seems ok, i can chat, but... the commands to the game does not work, simply nothing happens when i input something to the game, but the chat works normal...
anyone has any idea what the problem could be?
When you resize the terminal and see your nick to the right, does it turn red when you press CTRL+A? Means you have input.
And in case this does happen but you still get no input...
Take your configuration file (see manual) and write "VERBOSITY: 1" there. It will make any keypresses from clients to be outputted to the server console. See if the keypresses go through (almost certainly will...but I guess it could be double-checked). I've heard about this bug(?) once before, but at the moment I have no idea what could be causing it or if it's really dfterm related. Also check if input works on the same machine where you run dfterm and in DF window itself. If nothing works, I could take your information on what software you have (Operating system/DF version and dfterm version at least) for future reference if this comes up again.
I am also having this problem, so here's my info.
Server side:
Dwarf Fortress 0.31.01
DFTerm 0.1.3a
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Client side:
Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit
Running telnet in gnome-terminal
I also tried running it from the server machine via PuTTY with the same result.
I turned VERBOSITY up to 1 and verified that the server is indeed receiving the keypresses. Like lokis, I can use the chat interface, but when I hit Ctrl-A, my name goes red and I can't do anything.
I have tried both starting DF before launching DFTerm and launching from DFTerm. The game starts just fine and I can see the menu, but I can't interact with it.
