Anyone know if there's a way to hotkey item activation, along the lines of skills? I've been playing CoQ via mouse a lil'*, and e-d-a-esc-esc (Activating my force bracelet and getting out of th'equip screen without removing the thing.) is much faster with th'keyboard. Also, for unormal, item activation via key (e-d-a, instead of scrolling down to the activate command) is a little awkward. It likes to leave the cursor on remove, and an accidental second space (to clear th'activation message) can remove the item

On-screen keyboard. Good for when you're lazy and the keyboards are outside arms reach.

It's planned, but not in the game at the moment.

Guess I'll have to stretch my arms a bit, heh. In other news, will we ever be able to shoot things in walls with normal (i.e. laser pistols, etc.) guns? Just lost a really promising character because I couldn't shoot a security turret that was in a wall, and didn't survive approach (Chaingun 'ret was giving cover fire, apparently ).

E: Re: Th'followin' posta': NE'ER!

Question: I may have accidentaly beaten Elder Irudad to death, are there any major concequences to this?

[Frumple]

You won't be able to finish a quest and you've blocked off one of three ways (that I know of) into Grit Gate. Fortunately, th'elder isn't really necessary for continuing the main questline, from what I've seen. Just don't kill the tinker, at least until he's given you his data disk. All you've lost out on is a fairly small amount of XP and some autoinjectors.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Sweet. I got a level up or two out of killing him anyway.

[Tarran]

Yeah, just finish the critter quest and then you can kill him with little to no consequences for 1000xp.

You can macro it with AHK.

I've even made an auto-roller for coq with it. >.>

[Frumple]

Might give that a try... just now noticed AHK has an option that doesn't involve coding, so I might just be able to use it.

In other news, I've found the first Tinker III data disk I've seen. Anyone have any idea what a Timecube does? It sounds sexy.

Also, minor bug: Apparently, when you tinker up something that's powered, you create a cell, as well. Or can, anyway. Just whipped up (heh) a stun whip that came wit' a chem cell. It'd make sense if it was a solar cell, but I don't even know how to make chem cells.

Guess it's not a bad thing, exactly. The cell sells for as much as the whip...

EDIT: Confirmation on a previous inquiry, also minor bug report: Glowpad merchant doesn't restock. It's murderin' time~

Google time cube and click the first link, I dare you! 

Fakedit: Honestly, not a clue what it would do.

Programming macros is rather easy. In your case it would be something like:

F1::Send eda{Esc 3}

I started a new character to see how things are now, went to start the two quests, then went to the trader...  went back to Argyve to see what he had to say, and THE ZEALOT HAD KILLED HIM.  Said zealot was standing there, seemingly unharmed, with the stuff Argyve was selling all where he used to be standing.
