Manual Deck Gun Management

Archive1 · 05-21-08, 12:00 AM

Am running GWX2.1 (great extension of the previous mod) but the usual F10 keyboard acquisition of manual aiming of the deck gun does not seem to work as before. I have RTFM but don't see any alternative to AI deck gun use. Am I missing something...besides not being able to man the gun myself?

Make sure you are telling the crew to man the deck gun. Thats the only thing I can think of. I'm sure one of the vetran kaulens can answer this question better than me.

Archive1,
Are you running SH3Speech? If so, check the IKH (Innenkommunikatzionen Handbuch) for the correct keypresses or voice commands. SH3Speech changes some of the "standard" keypresses and adds lots of other new ones.

Usual suggestions from me I'm afraid.....

Make sure you've got a full compliment of men manning the gun, (preferably trained and experienced).

Whilst looking through the binoculars, hit the spacebar and then go direct to the gun.

Ok, now I'm having exactly the same problem as Archive1 with the F10 key now disabled in GWX2.1. I suspect a mod or a new modpatch has somehow altered the keyboard values for the F10 key... for some reason I'm thinking it was Thompsen's Sound mod that did it but I can't be sure... I have only ever enabled/disabled a mod in JSGME in the correct and proper order and never had this problem before.

So I deactivated all my mods but... uh oh... still no F10 key. Looks like I'm left with no option but to uninstall SH3 completely (or be without the F10 key anymore... which for surprise surface assaults was always a necessity for me to have it rather than have to select it slowly with the mouse via the GUI). Anyone know what happened?

PS: and yes... my F10 key works in other apps...
