KeyLayouts on a Notebook !

13 April 2006, 19:57

Hi people,

Because there's already a thread on another forum, I'll give you the link of my problem. You can answer here

http://forum.sensiblesoccer.info/ind...sg7478#msg7478

I am an Amiga Sensible Soccer fan ! But I have one problem:

There are 3 keyboard layouts, and they're not OK for my notebook:
Layout A: I have no numpad
Layout B: I have no Right CTRL
Layout C: It's to difficult, the B as down is not good, it'd better be G

So I have the suggestion to make Layout D (for notebooks), you don't have to put it in WinUAE main program, but someone can make a patch for it, it is not much work hé

Layout D for example: Same as Layout B, but with LEFT CTRL. Please can you do something, because now I can't play Amiga SWOS.

I also tried the Configuration #X, and set Up -> Joy1/2 Up, Down -> Joy1/2 Down, etc..., but it gives conflicts to the other player.

Pleaaase can anyone help me ?

Thanks,

I currently use WinUAE with a laptop which has a normal PC keyboard attached. I also use a USB joypad which works well.

Yes, that's a possibility, but making a Keyboard Layout D is much easier, not ??? And less expensive, and better, ...

Agreed, but these are other options

Just remap the keys then to whatever keys you want.

Is it with the configuration #x ? It gives conflicts, or what do you mean by remap , how can I do it ?

Thanks !

Ooh, another thing: This problem only occurs when I play online against someone else who has 'Compatibility Mode' on. So the Joy2-thing works fine offline, but online it's a problem :s

Indeed. Is there no solution for this ?

Can't you write a little patch for this old version, so I can play SWOS with my notebook online... Toni, you're the man !

Some information here, Toni:

* Here is our WinUAE version with Kaillera (The official to play Amiga SWOS online) : http://swos.ring23.com/stat/cgi-bin/...igaonline2.exe

* I suggest that you change the file (I think it's a DLL-file, I don't know, I'm not a developer

), so that Keyboard Layout B (Cursor Up/Down/Left/Right + Right CTRL) has these controls:
Up/Down/Left/Right + Left CTRL, there is only 1 CTRL on a notebookkeyboard.

* Then I can place (or you) a 'patch' online with the file that has good controls for a laptop keyboard

* So, SWOS players with a notebook keyboard have got no bugs (with remapping in the old WinUAE-version + Kaillera) and can use the 'Compatible mode'.

It would be nice for many notebook-users, PLEASE Toni, Help us, us, poor people

Greetings and many thanks,
Kurrado

Received your ICQ, thanks, you may have brought my attention to a bug which I will have corrected in the next release. (I'm aiming for late this year but life is hectic.)

Not that coding for compatibility mode (keyboard layouts) is in any way elegant, there's no source project, so we're a bit buggered.

Auto Hotkey to the rescue!

Code:

#SingleInstance force
Menu,TRAY,Tip,LControl::RControl
Menu,TRAY,NoStandard
Menu,TRAY,DeleteAll
Menu,TRAY,Add,E&xit,EXIT
LControl::RControl
EXIT:
ExitApp

Use Keyboard Layout "B" and left Ctrl key to your heart's content.
