request to be able to use F1-F12
Fine makers of Diaspora.

I have a problem. I am programming two joysticks in T.A.R.G.E.T. and I need to be able to use F1-F12 ingame.
Right now I get the message ingame that F's are unbindable keys.
It's for programming my second POV. Can it be done? And if so...how many days of programming does it aprox. take?
If not, or you guys don't feel like including this option, I would really like to know, cause then I have to find another way to program my sticks.

kind thanks,

Re: request to be able to use F1-F12
You have more then 100 keys on keyboard, why do you need F* ?
What about shift and alt?

 
Re: request to be able to use F1-F12
You got a point.
But I want to keep code logical too, and not a weird part of choices by the looks of things.
But I've comeup with a solution.
I will have the code up in 30 minutes.

The F Keys are unbindable because Diaspora uses them. F1 to F4 control the help, options, hotkeys and mission log screens respectively and the F5 - F12 keys are the hotkeys used for targeting wings. Quite frankly it would take a hell of a lot of work to make them bindable as we'd need to stick that functionality somewhere else.

Or make it rebindable; but then you have the issue that the menu that lets you set binds is only accessible through those buttons.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

 
Re: request to be able to use F1-F12
Ok, I understand.
No problem. I already worked around it.
I used [CTRL]+[ALT]+normal numbers, and the KeyPad numbers. Forgot about those :)
