Num-Pad keys

Oct 08, 2004 Ambush link
It would be nice if i could use the Numpad keys different from the other keys (Num-Pad 1 different binding then 1).

Actually, I can't seem to be able to use those keys at all, in linux.

in linux, you can heh. they actaully show up as invisable keys.

example: in the configuration menu for keys. you want to change Turbo to say.. numpad 7. once you press num 7 you won't see anything but it's actaully there. reassign your turbo key again but this time press the same key that's nearest to the letters (being the first). by pressing this it'll throw the first key to the end of the bind list for that specific key. you will see an invisable space where normally a keybinding should go.

if that that didn't explain it, here i've used quotes for the entire thing to show you what i mean..

this is what happens after you assign a numpad key to Turbo:
"Turbo: x a DownArrow - "

now press x to assign your numpad button to primary, it will turn to this:
"Turbo: - a DownArrow x"

EDIT: it seems this board doesn't accept empty spaces, i'll subistute the invisable space with a "-".

you'll see an invisable space ;D

sorry if i can't explain this right, it's.. well 3pm haha and no sleep ;P

there is one major problem about this. when you quit vendetta it does NOT save your numpad binds, they'll reset. i suspect this is a problem where vendetta doesn't know how to treat these keys and write them to it's config file, but once you're in the game it will SOMEWHAT reconize them (this is by rebinding them agian so they work).

thanks! I'll test it later today. I'll submit a bug report too.
