Re-binding the spacing keys for building lines/boxes

I suppose the Unicode translation I enabled in 0.70b2 to make e.g. ctrl+z work on slovenian keyboard layouts, caused shift+x and shift+z to be passed around as uppercase X and Z, so it doesn't detect them.

I'll fix it...

It's just the AIs that were giving me troubles. Ah well, the price we pay for getting to play with pre-1.0 versions. :)

I had the same problem. '+' (increase game speed) and pause stopped working as well.

yeah, the keypad + - doesnt work anymore here, too, with german keyboard layout...

(though the del/ins binding does)

change numpad+ and numpad- to resp. + and - in uikeys.txt

the mouse4/5 bindings are in the uikeys.txt

edit: however, for some reason it only works with SHIFT+CTRL building... even though it's effects are locked when you use Shift or Shift/ALT... if anyone can figure out a different key binding that works better... recomend it here...

You mean the Z and X bindings for mouse4 and mouse5? If so, this is a bug in 0.70b2 and will be fixed in b3

http://taspring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Using_ ... _Buildings I updated the wiki to the current way to make it work, I added pictures and EVERYTHING... look at this page... it is teh awsomes!!!!! then tell me it's tex awsomes because otherwise I will cry...

edit: Hey cool... you don't need to be holding down the left mouse button when you adjust the spacing... you can just select a building to build, hold shift+crtl, press the x or z button however many time you want, then move that other hand back over to the mouse to draw your spaced box... will need to update my wiki entry again....

Thanks SinbadEV, this will come handy. Choosing the checkerboard map for the screenshots was a good idea!

I corrected the spelling a bit - you might want to use a spellchecker next time to quickly correct the most obvious errors.

we can pretend I left those spelling errors in on purpose so that it would be more of a community effort... right? Just kidding, thanks a lot for fixing it up... I'll remember to spell check the next time I make a big change like that.
