training mission 3 bug

Bunnywabbit · Post by **Bunnywabbit** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 4:45 pm

when the instructor asks to press spacebar ( 'fire weapon') the custom keymap is not referenced. Mouse1 does not work if it's mapped to fire weapon.

In the previous instruction where C is target center, the mission does pick up on custom key settings.

(important because training mission won't continue unless this button event takes place).

Are you saying that your custom key setting for target center is not C and it picks it up and works.

I thought training missions use default keymap and the only way to make it work with custom keymap is to open your keymap (as if you were changing it) during the mission and then pressing accept.

I haven't looked at the code though so I don't know if the trigger to continue the mission is pressing the center button or targeting an object.

no, the training missions pick up on custom keymaps these days. I mentioned the 'target center' bit to point out that that part works as in, it accepts my custom key for targeting center. Not so for the 'fire weapon' key, for which the training mission demands the spacebar regardless of custom key layout. clicking mouse1 for 'fire weapon' does not trigger the event the mission is waiting for.

Play the mission, it's dreary but you'll see what i mean.

Probably because mouse clicks are handled differently. Fixable, but needs a ticket.

Trying to reopen ticket #241 and changing type to 'defect'.

comment:

"But all is not well.

Training Mission 3 does not register the mouseclick for 'fire weapon'. See: http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...showtopic=64889

Also the fact that the instructions and the keymap do not correspond at all has not been adressed. The mission chat should mention the appropriate key or mousebutton name from the config files. Then re-voicing the audio file would make sense.

This cannot be hard to code."

Trac though this was Spam and put me in a perpetual captcha loop.

created new ticket to specifically adress this issue. http://trac.alleg.net/ticket/247

the part where I ask for a function/macro/whatever that can parse the keymap file is set as an enhancement.
