Quest for glory in android - key controls - fight issues/q's

Post by davros »

Hi all

I have been trying to solve a problem for a few days and continue to be stuck, so thought I'd ask the community here.

Issue:
- In the quest for glory games, the combat system is mapped to the number keys on the keyboard. e.g. 7,9,1,3
- Using an android phone (in this case galaxy nexus) its very cumbersome dragging and touching to switch from parry, dodge, attack etc. i get hit alot!
- the soft keyboard in android can be brought up but doesn't map to the # and gets in the way

conclusion: clunky gameplay - would be great to overcome?!

What I've tried:
- downloaded and sampled 3-4 soft keyboards, including gamepad. some have # but they don't seem to actually map to trigger actions associated with # in the game (starting at QFG1)
- searched these forums and sierra fanbase forums. a couple of related questions, few answers
- searching for custom keyboards (I'm I was hoping for some that send a kind of ascii code??) but no joy

questions:
- do scumm users think this can be overcome with the right soft keyboard?
- would this be better in dosbox on android?
- is this a generic problem that the community knows about?
- isn't QFG still awesome? :D

many thanks to anyone who can offer tips or pointers to help me out here - i've tried my best but have hit a wall...

cheers

Looks like not yet. At least no solution has been posted.
