Title: How to chose options in Com menu
Post by: lord_peanuts on March 21, 2014, 04:32:52 pm

I am playing Main Freespace campaign and already in the beginning  of the mission I was not able to choose an option in he Comm menu. Has it something to do with my AZERTY keyboard? Or is there a specific method to move between the possible choices?
I'm sure it is something only a newbie doesn't know.
Can someone enlighten me on this?

Many thanks


System: Apple  IMac 24",  2,4MHz intel core duo, 4Gb Ram, Azerty  Alu Keyboard

You use the top-row number buttons (not the numpad ones). Press the number next to the option and it will select it.

I believe AZERTY has a different number row to QWERTY (or at least that's my guess from a quick look in the FSO code). You could try adding this custom launcher parameter?

Code: [Select]

-keyboard_layout azerty

Assuming you're using wxLauncher, go to the advanced tab and add the parameter to the "Custom Flags:" field.

Thanks niffiwan and blackwolf,

First: Pushing the top row number keys gives no reaction at all. The keys on the number pad are assigned to other function in this game. Thats the reason I posed the question on the forum.
@niffiwan: I will use this and report back.
Many thanks

Thanks for helping me out niffiwan.
Adding this "-keyboard_layout azerty" to the custom launcher did the trick.

kind regards,
Henri
