inaccessible character inventory

Post by tiggy! »

hi AGAIN, everyone.

so i finally have csbwin running dungeon master running the original dungeon with original graphics and i am SO HAPPY. :)

but.

for some reason when i click on the characters name or on the status bars (health.stam.mana.) i cant get into the characters inventory.

can anyone tell me why?

do i need to left click? on my laptop there is only one button and a trackpad.

ill have to buy a mouse if thats the case.

im sorry if im posting something thats already answered here, but i looked and looked and couldnt find reference to this problem in the forum.

thanks

TIGGAY!

As I remember, it requires a Right Click.
Everything else operates on Left Clicks.

I think we can fix this by modfying the
initialization file to interpret a keyboard
character as a mouse click.

Anyone done this? I can't get to it until
tomorrow but if nobody else pipes up
I will figure it out then and let you know.

don`t buy a mouse!
it`s much better to play only with keyboard, especially when you play on laptop! I`ve gotta learn how to do this, because I`m right handed person and moving keys are on the right side of the keyboard; and I cannot operate mouse in left hand! Playing for a long time using moving keys on the right side of a keyboard with left hand and mouse on the right of a laptop with right hand causes spine ache! And, comparing with mouse, I hate to use touchpad!
Good idea with playing keyboard only - I`ll check it out!

Add these mscan lines to config.txt:

Code: Select all

mscan 1 0055  32 10 R  ; u = first char inventory
mscan 1 0049  7b 10 R  ; i = second char inventory
mscan 1 004f  c2 10 R  ; o = third char inventory
mscan 1 0050 10d 10 R  ; p = fourth char inventory
;

Works so well that I am going to make
them the default. Makes moving inventory
items from one character to another very
much easier.
