ReadMe for Build 13

no problem those were names from all the "pre-build13_base+update XYZ" posts i started and all the beta threads i could find on thelast three pages - so from beta5 upwards i think.

oh i'm going to compile a list of keyboard controls(mouse as well obviously) to put in the readme - so we have all that info in one place.
 
W00T!! I get to be mentioned!! **grins**

All I wanted was to be useful to the community. If I have been, great. If I'm just a troublemaker, well at least I'm an interesting troublmaker. **grins**

Thanks for mentioning me in the list, Bart!

All names added to the file now. EVEN Black Bart's name. His trick of removing himself won't work as long as I have a "compare" button in Word! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
You are in there as well now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Cpt.YuKe, did you ever work on automatically transferring your old BuildSettings.h settings to a new update?

That was after looking through all the posts that dealt with build13(from prebuild(base) onwards), in which the named posters where involved in the discusion of bugs/issues/solutions etc.

maybe one or two people slipped the net, but if YOU know you partook in some beta testing for build13 and your not on that list then post so here - or you might be forgotten! which would be terrible(unless Pieter has you on his list somewhere).
 
The normal 0-9 buttons equip various weapons, such as normal blades, grenades, thief's knifes, etc. Each button equips a different item (if available). You can find out which items they equip by starting the game and pressing them.
Also: The quicksave and quickload functionality is turned off for the time being, because it didn't work properly.

Thanks for making that list, Black Bart. I'll add everyone to the final ReadMe. But if somebody is already a modder, I'm not adding that person as tester as well. This to decrease on the number of names in the file.
 
no worries on the list - i think its important in projects to make sure everyone is credited, even if their input was minor - it all helps make better games <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

As for the controls it seems the ESC key isnt available in the On Land section either now, but then f1 does the main menu and the ESC key was part of the pre build13 game.

That is just a quick list and will need more experienced folks to cast an eye over(CCC?) before putting it in the readme. Some of those functions like the quick-equipe(1-0) keys i've never used, and some of the mods use keys i might have missed.
 
ESC on land closes the fast travel menu (the battleinterface) if you open it.

ESC also gets you out of any menu you may be in (at least, they were all gone through and made sure this occurs, but if we missed one still, we need to know!).

ESC in sea only escapes out of battleinterface as well.

ESC will NOT get you out of a dialog.
 
Thanks a lot for the key list, BB <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Only one thing: Sidestep right is D (at least on my keyboard)

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> - as it is on mine! dont know what i was thinking......its not like i find a lot of uses for reciteing the alphabet - so i dont know what was happening there <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

but yeah its just a template that i hope can be useful. As a 'new' player to modded PotC i'm still discovering what keys do what in terms of the mod added ones.
In fact i only discovered the use of the 'tab' key in the navigation map sailing mode a few days ago - and its very usefull! i've been playing normal PotC for years! - so this should be usefull for new players especialy, just needs a more mod savy person to finish it off <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
So can we add the controls list to the ReadMe yet? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
ask CCC <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> - i made my un-experienced effort, now its for you pros to finish off/correct?
 
Ask ME? Pro? What ya talkin about? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

But the keylist is allright FAIK. How about putting it as List_of_default_keys.txt into the buildinfo folder?
 
Good idea! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
