Very VERY Annoying.
« on: October 09, 2006, 01:33:00 pm »

Not a bug, but I don't know where else to put it.  I'm getting frustrated trying to plan my expedition and I go to add a new item to bring, [n],,[e] ("seeds" or [m],[e] for "meat")  Embarking?  WTF?  Damnit, I missed the [n] key again (for a grand total of four in a row).  Or it didn't work like just now because it was on the "animals" side of the list.

How about making the embark key NOT one that I might use for something else (such as searching for a new item).  [E] perhaps, or [enter]?
Or add a "Are you sure?" check.

I believe you can do this yourself, actually.
Go to \data\init\interface.txt, and change the line "[SETUP_EMBARK:E]" to "[SETUP_EMBARK:SHIFT+E]".

Ah.  So many things one can do in those files--and I only just barely know of their existence (much less what I can do with/in them).

Still a confirmation and perhaps using capital E seems reasonable.  It's an important key press, at least if you're the type to spend time setting up.
