Hello,

We should add the option to select its own keys, because I have a AZERTY keyboard and really hard to play.

And for multiplayer play it will be very useful because the keys for Player 2 are difficult, I do not even know all the keys.

You can add a new configuration to System.c4g/PlayerControls.txt. The player can then activate that layout in the player configuration dialog. I did the same for a US Dvorak layout.

Thank you,

I modified my file but it blocked everything, I probably have to edit a line that should not.

I'll reinstalled OC and try again.

When you are done feel free to submit the new file, so we can add it to the game.

Ah, yes it's true, I was trying with the original file and clonk my flight, then this comes from my OC

So normally it works.

Where is it that I can post the file playercontrol.txt, here or in another Topic ?

Does someone could try if it works, please?

I hereby license the following file(s) under the ISC license

EDIT : The file works, the problem was my system.c4g but I found the solution.

but now it's just my mouse because he digs that diagonally, it could come from the script ?

Hmm, I am still doubting that creating a new control set for every possible keyboard layout is the best solution.
Sven, what do you think about that? Any ideas?

I think it is possible to retrieve absolute key positions from the OS or a library (I think DirectInput does it, but maybe we could also find some platform independent library), so it could determine a working standard layout automatically. The definition file would be written for a specified keyboard layout (e.g. en/US or de) and adapted automatically.

Still, this doesn't replace the need for a possibility to redefine keys to your own need, which is also still to be coded.

Yes of course.

>DirectInput


It would be good to know if there are libraries available that can be used platform-independent (or at least if there is a library available that can be used for linux/mac). Anyone knows one?

On Linux, you can sort-of assume that the keycodes X11 sends you closely correspond to the hardware. Officially, they are undefined, but everyone uses USB or PS/2 keyboards in practice. So the A key in AZERTY and the Q key in QWERTZ will send the same keycode. (Well, except for differences between evdev and the old keyboard input driver, I think, but assuming evdev probably will not break too much nowadays.)

Hmm, how do all the other games that are released in France solve the problem of WASD being ZQSD?

At least QWERTZ seems to be ignored usually :(
