View Full Version : can't seem to fire torpedos with keyboard

I am using TWoS 2.2.8, plus Church's Keyboard Commands. I haven't edited anything to do with fire control (keyboard shortcuts), but Shift+Space does not fire torpedos. Space gets the target solution dialog up, and my designated key (F) will lock/follow the target, Shift+F1 etc will select the tubes, but I can't seem to fire a torpedo without clicking the Big Red Button in the upper left corner.

Is it me?

I took a look at Commands.cfg and found:

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Contexts=1
Key0=0x0D,s,"Shift+Enter"

Neither TWoS nor CKC mods list this for fire torpedo, but I'm assuming this is a pretty good clue as to what's going on. ;)

TWoS does, if you open "help" with "F1" key ...
What's "CKC"?

EDIT:
Church's Keyboard Commands (dumb me)...I'm not sure this is compatible with TWoS.

Ah, okay, I believe that. I haven't checked the F1 of standard TWoS in a few days (and then only once or twice as I had just installed it and began getting things set up). I added CKC "Church's Keyboard Commands" pretty soon after. I only assumed TWoS's F1 helper still showed Shift+Space since THEBERBSTER has an image attached to his post here (about CKC) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2553875&postcount=432) where he offers comparison F1 images from various mods.

Thanks for the clarification, though, sorry for my misunderstanding. I could have checked TWoS standard key commands by removing CKC, but didn't consider that the image in THEBERBSTER's post is understandably out of date. Dug it out of the Commands file as a seemingly more direct route.
