« on: September 15, 2012, 02:28:02 pm »
Anyone having issues with the control keys, or this scenario in general?

Do you mean to say that Left control + m is working? If so, you need to turn off the setting that makes the game treat left control and right control (and other such modifier keys) as different keys. (I can't remember where it is at the moment)

If you mean it doesn't work in general, then that a bug (or it somehow got unbound, you did double check your keybinding, right?).

Yeah, I checked my key binding. I recently updated the game, and it feels alien for some reason, like some of my settings didn't carry over. Obviously can't verify that, but I'm getting annoyed at interface issues. Trying to get this back on track again. I just wanted to know if anyone else could verify? I'll open it later today unless somebody says it's just me.

There's a toggle that was added back around the time of the unity port (as a result of your request that LeftCtrl and RightCtrl be considered interchangeable, iirc) named "Separate Left And Right Mod Keys", on the interface tab of the settings window.  If that's checked, it treats LeftCtrl and RightCtrl as non-interchangeable.

Testing with a riot selected, with and without that toggle (the default is unchecked) :
Toggle Unchecked, LeftCtrl+M pressed => opens ship design menu
Toggle Unchecked, RightCtrl+M pressed => opens ship design menu
Toggle Checked, LeftCtrl+M pressed => opens ship design menu
Toggle Checked, RightCtrl+M pressed => centers on a metal deposit

Is that not what you get?

As for settings not being retained, I suppose it's possible there was some kind of serialization bug messing with those, but I haven't heard other reports that would indicate one.

I rebound the keys, so that's not what I get. I'm able to do right control + (+/-)  to speed up or slow down the game. It only seems to be right control +m  that doesn't work. It's so bizarre. I rebound the key to something else for now and that  is a workaround.

The separate left and right control is unchecked. I remember doing that, and I remember mentioning it at the time.

Hmm, it could just be a result of me having added the LeftCtrl+M => "Open selected ship in ship design" binding towards the beginning of the work Ancient Shadows.  Unbinding (or rebinding) that to a different combo could clear it up.  Not sure what's really going on, though :)

That sounds like it could be it. Maybe is taking precedence over my specific changes.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ship controls": the buy menu, the CTRLS screen, etc.  A screenshot would clarify.
