Keyboard and other Shortcuts |
You can right click on some of the window displays (for instance: your ship designs and get the "filters" selector). I bet there are a bunch of things like this in the game.
Another that I was unaware of is: you can change the size of the "event portrait" in the log. default is large and it makes for a lot of scrolling. left click on the collum title "event portrait" will change it's size from large to med to none. note right clicking also brings up some choices.
Anyone else find some unannounced keyboard shortcuts?
Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
It works for all lists. Whent I make the event portraits medium, the game shows a garbled image though...
Otherwise I configure the load/recover/transfer/launch... orders under UIO and JKL, it makes more sense to me.

Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
I prefer using large portraits in the log, makes it easier to see what's happening without having to read the text, and to find a specific event.
Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
Medium images maintain that usability, while reducing clutter tremendously.
You should probably send a bug report on the garbled event portraits with your system specs to se5 at malfador dot com so Aaron can take a look at it..

Hello, i had an accedent on my main computer a month back, so i had to set up the old PC. It had the same problem you describe. (nVidia 5700 something)
This and the problem with slowdown in ship inspect mode on battlemaps were fixed by getting the newest official nVidia drivers.
Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
Thank you for the advice... but it didn't change anything.
The problem with garbled images is probably that the graphic memory is too low: 32MB
Or it's because I seem to not have a "complete" nVidia: It shows 3D Prophet II at startup... it has a nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 shipset though as dxdiag shows...
EDIT: I don't really know but it seems to me that Safe Mode (without the glitches) is now a little bit faster: I now have 12 fps (18 in Auto) and it seems playable, while the last time I tested it was not...
The inspect mode is faster in Safe (7 fps) than in Auto (4fps). I don't remember it be faster before...
Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
Hey guys these are important issues to talk about, but lets try to keep this thread focused on the topic please.
SEV, more than a feeling.

Shift+Drag in Design window to place multiple components?
There's also the annoying thing that sometimes when you press Escape, it doesn't close the foreground window, but a background one...
Re: Keyboard and other Shortcuts
the image size changer is a god send
its the same function for any image column, viewing ships, planets what ever ^_^
randomly found the rightclick for filter menu's you mentioned while helping my lill brother learn the game, was quite amazed. other than those i've not seen anything.
