Options and Settings access in Cliffs

[jollyjack]

While playing BoX you can use Escape to jump to the options and key mappings page while the game is running.

I cannot find a way to accomplish that in Cliffs - BLITZ ..... it might have worked before, but at least not now.

 

How can you get the ESCAPE key set to work that way in Cliffs? Or is there a different function key or way to get there?

 

PS in the confUser.ini file there is are 3 places  where escape shows:

 

[HotKey BOB]
Alt F4=exit
P=pause
Escape=ConsolePaste

 

maybe it's in the wrong place and should it be under

 

[HotKey common]
O=door_open
M=map
Shift L=csec_lights
A=autopilot
Control O=door_close
Control L=cpri_lights
Control J=door_jettison
Control E=bailout
Alt L=cste_lights
Escape=reload                < ==== can it be that this is wrong?
MouseLeft=fire
Control Space=door_toggle

 

[HotKey timeSpeed]
CloseBracket=timeSpeedUp
OpenBracket=timeSpeedDown
Quote=timeSpeedNormal
[HotKey orders]
9=order9
8=order8
7=order7
6=order6
5=order5
4=order4
3=order3
2=order2
1=order1
0=order0
Escape=deactivate              < ====or is this is wrong?
Alt=select
Control=expand
Enter=Enter
Tab=activate
Backspace=Backspace

In my confUser.ini I have this:

 

[HotKey gui]
  Escape = activate
  MouseRight = popupmenu

Try adding this line, if don't have.

 

Here press ESC key exit from game 3D and bring up 2D menu options.

 

Go to Options > Game and remove this 

 

Escape=ConsolePaste

 

This "Paste Console" don't have practical use and maybe are the cause of ESC don't work as expected, or maybe some video setting (?) or external program with overlay are blocking their use.

 

As workaround ? (until find solution), mouse right click over game screen and choose "Return to Menu".

 

 

The "escape" under [HotKey orders] is OK. I don't have (Escape=reload ) [HotKey common].

 

My keybindings is high customized/cleaned, the default has conflicts and useless assignments.

Thanks, .... PERFECT! Now i am curious about your editing.

 

PS I had Cliffs running under TARGET, because of the ID USB messing of windows 10.

Just now i tried devrecorder, NO TARGET, and It seems all controllers , especially the AXIS related ones, react much faster and directly ...

 

Tried a few Quickies, but weird behavior. Hurricane OK, but a Blenheim wouldn't speed up. Guess my control settings messed up somehow,

i'll look in to that later.
