hi,

another possible stupid question, but i dont seem to be able to change my keys and i cant use some keys now...

have european macbook azerty..

tried to change some values, it didnt change anything in the program,
so tried again, wanted to test, changed the 'p' from pause into 'P', didnt change anything in the program, also tried to change the slower speed 's' into 'x', didnt do anything either, and some more keys i tried...

can anyone help me with this ? cant play it very well without this changing..

thanks !

AZERTY? Oh, poor fellow, I know thy pain... The French and their infamous insistance on doing things their way, leading to anachronisms as calling a byte an "octet" even when the computers are 64 bits and higher!

Anyway, refer to https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=35614

Not sure if there has been a typo in the title, but Oolite reads keyconfig.plist and not keyconfig_main.plist. You may be editing the wrong file.

but why isnt it that my file doesnt change , for example i saved the pauze from 'p' into 'P', this is a correct thing no ? but in the program is stays 'p' and isnt changed in 'P', but when i check the keyfile, it is changed and saved to 'P', i dont understand this ...does the program even look into this file or dont i understand ??

i'm sorry, i read all ur info, but i'm not 100 % english speaking, so maybe i miss something

OKAAAAY, it works,

that happens when u're both a bit intelligent and a bit more stupid, i tried it before, i wanted to keep the original , renamed it, deleted the first try and thought using this one

okay, maybe you have to open a new section for stupid questions from me

lol

thanks !

(great game btw)

Er, all the 64-bit architectures I know of use eight-bit bytes, so that’s entirely appropriate. There have been systems that used 12-bit and 36-bit bytes, but I think the eight-bit-per-byte concept is sufficiently deeply entrenched in the public consciousness (and programming practice) that it’s likely to remain with us.

offtopic: we Belgians use azerty too

Yes, even the Dutch speaking part of the country, which doesn't make much sense, come to think of it...

Yuck, azerty. First thing I did when I got to work in France was reconfigure the keyboard back to something tolerable, and pull as many keys off and put them back on in meaningful positions as possible.

I would've loved to do that, when I was in France recently. They won't let you do something like this in an internet cafe, though...
