Moving in the Interior

[granite00]

I'm trying to determine what key commands allow me to move forward and back in the control room and conning tower. I'm using jimimadrid's SH_Keymapper v1.01 and looking at the SH4 Stock version of the commands.cfg file.

The Up arrow has two commands assigned: "To-up" and "Move-forward". When I hit the Up arrow, my view shoots to the overhead; I don't move closer to the far side of control.

I would think the "Move-forward" command is the right one, but it isn't getting me where I want to go.

What am I missing? Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.

I presume you're using SH4 v1.5 UBM, but do you have any mods installed?

[granite00]

Yes, SH4 v1.5 with no mods.

I'm trying to keep it simple to diagnose why the commands aren't working the way I expect them to work. Once I get the commands right, I want to import that commands.cfg file to my SH4 game with various mods.

If I'm remembering correctly (yikes!), that's the way "Stock" does. The up arrow moves your perspective up, not forward, because I don't think you can wander the interior the way you can with some of the mods.

Thanks propbeanie, that might be it. I'm able to wander in TMO, but when I added the Spyron mod to a clean install of the stock version, I lost that ability.

I may have to live with it.

Yeah, just imagine yourself glued to the chart table, and only able to grab the periscope (which is difficult to do from the chart table...) to change your view perspective, other than looking at the piping on the ceiling, or the floor, where you HAVE NO FEET!!! Someone will have to carry you to the bridge, and then throw you back down the hatch when you go to dive...
