View Full Version : My first "a" CtD <sob>

I have only myself to blame.:oops:

There I was no sh*t….

I had this convoy of four merchants and three escorts.

Through exemplary tactics and a steadfast determination to bring destruction to my enemy, I sunk two of the escorts and mortally wounded the third….ok it was mostly luck but my intention was true.

I was just lining up to finish off the limping escort.. Licking my chops in anticipation of being able to pick off the four merchants at my leisure…. Ya know, I just might take them on using the deck gun, just to make it hurt more. :arrgh!: Not bad for my first career patrol in SH4.

Ahh there is the last escort… listing badly, moving slowly, coughing up blood, but still dangerous as a wounded tiger.

Up Scope, let’s get a good set up (never pass up an opportunity to practice set ups).

Hmm a little far away, I better zoom in to get a really good range calculation.

<hit Tab>

OH NO!!!!!

I accidentally brushed up against the “a” key!:damn:

Nice windows wall paper..

That convoy was mine!

I only have myself to blame. Did not save during the battle.

Is it possible to remap the “maintain depth” to a key FAR away from where I am in battle?

Not a happy evening:cry:

I think i'm the only one who plays w/ out using the keyboard. Only time I use the keyboard if I want rudder control.

I like to call it "multi-tasking":yep:

I will be opening torp doors and clicking on sonar, hitting the hard to port key while clicking on the map...stuff like that.

I guess I can zoom using the wheel on my track ball right?

Is there an easy way from the periscope screen to open the doors using the mouse?

I also don't use the keyboard that much
<tab> for zooming and to ensure ctd
<Q> to open the doors
<space> to fire guns
<+> <-> and <backspace> for TC
and the function keys to jump to stations (although I use that more in SH3)

For all of these I can use the mouse execpt for the opening of the doors. I have seen the various interactive switches I can use at the various stations but is there one in the periscope screen I can use or one on the attack map?

Anyway, I am assuming it is not the "A" key that is causing the CtD but the function "maintain depth". Is there a way I can either remove the key mapping for that function or remap it to a remote (in the next room if possible) key?
