Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

Thanks Soleil. That's probably the best workaround for now.

I could release an alternative config file to install, but if it doesn't work to bind 'a' to "up" in-game, i don't think binding it in the config file is going to work, either. I have no idea why 'a' wouldn't bind in-game, though.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

@Flandry, it wasn't the normal "a"-key, but scandinavic "ä", which is a with two dots above it. I couldn't make the in-game bounding since the arrows are not working. I was trying editing the uqm.key file manually.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

I know that SDL's keyboard event generator has problems with unicode characters; it may be that there's no way to make it see that "a umlaut" key. However, if you can change the binding for the arrows to something else and then use the in-game key binder to see what (if any) key code it detects for the "a umlaut", i'll make the alt config for nordic users to download.

Dunno what Nokia is thinking releasing a mobile computer without directional arrows.

Edit: This was filed as Bug 6623. Out-of-the-box resolution will probably have to wait until the tilt-control version makes it to extras. I can release a version with two letters mapped to up and down as well as the arrows, but i'd rather focus on getting tilt control working and through testing. Soleil's workaround sounds usable to me.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

Is there a tutorial for installing this game?

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

Go to the uqm download page in your N900's browser and click the big "Install" button (or click this:http://static.maemo.org/style_maemo2...on_install.png). Let it install the package.

If you have an N900 without up and down arrow keys (French, German, Finnish, ....), go into N900 Settings---> Text input----> Hardware keyboard layout , and choose US-QWERTY (or English, Nederlands if that's not available).
Go to your application loader and click the icon that looks like this http://static.maemo.org/static/e/e7c...a968a_uqm_icon.

Play. :D

If you have no up and down arrow keys, when you are done playing, go back into Settings and reset the keyboard to your native language.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

The 3DO content package is now in extras-testing. If you have an N900 and are playing uqm, please consider installing the uqm-3do-data package, testing that it meets the QA requirements and then voting it up.

It's over 100 MB, so make sure you're on wifi before grabbing it!

The music is *totally* worth it, folks. Do not miss-out!

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

I cannot choose US (QWERTY) on my French N900, only european keyboards (but sadly not UK's Qwerty either..)

There should really be a way to set keys for this game.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

Hmm, that's not good. Soleil said he has a French keyboard, so i don't know what the difference is between your N900s. There must be some European layout that has full arrow keys, right? If you discover one, please let me know so i can revise the instructions.

There is a way to set keys for the game, but the current control mapping uses up and down arrows to navigate to that menu. There's also the option of modifying the configuration file. If you want to do that, copy the default mapping to your own config file like this:
cp /opt/uqm/content/uqm.key ~/.uqm/flight.cfg
and then edit the ~/.uqm/flight.cfg file in a text editor

As i mentioned before in this thread, i'm willing to make alternative control configuration files available as a more satisfying fix for users, but that requires someone with one of the defective keyboards to share with me a working configuration.

The tilt control acts as a generic joystick, so it will be a working default when that version is ready for extras.

Re: UrQuan Masters!
 

Fortunately, I found that the "English, Nederlands" keyboard has functional arrow keys, so you can add it to your tutorial.

As for the config file, I'll try to make one myself once I have time (not now sorry :/)
