I had the same problem with that hud. I found the answer in a thread in Testing & bug reports (or was it OXPs), but I can't find it now so I'll try to explain what I did. If you look in your Addons/Fighterhud/Config directory there should be a file called hud.plist. Search that file for hud.png....

Sure you can. But isn't 'O' assigned to something :twisted:. Seriously, you can put a command on any key you want. If that key is assigned to something else you just have to re-assign that command to another key, "and so on and so forth on down the line" as my old algabra teacher used to s...

Thanks for the kind words! If you've already got the arrow keys fixed in your right hand for flight, and don't want to learn something completely new. Consider moving those controls to 'i', 'j', 'k', and 'l' (on an english, qwerty keyboard). This will put you on the home keys and put many other keys...

When I started playing I thought the controls were a little cumbersome too. It seemed that they were chosen more as mneumonic aids than for ease of use. So, being a touch typist I put the main flight controls on the home keys. Pitch control is index and middle fingers of one hand, Roll the other. Fa...

Random# error with 1.71

Hi all, and thanks to the authors for the great game. I've been playing 1.65 and enjoyed it very much but decided to upgrade to see the new graphics and try out some of the OXPs. The trouble is 1.71.2 just spits out an error and quits. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper (6.something or other:). I installed 1...

I too would like to know if there is a way to tweek the keyboard flight controls. I wasn't thinking so much about a fine and cource switch as I was about just smoothing the initial response of pressing a control key so that the ship doesn't jump so much when you just barely bump the key. "I use...

That's a good point... :(
You get credit for the kill in 1.65. As a matter of fact, that's how I killed the constrictor! I didn't plan it that way, it just sorta happened :oops:
