[Mac OSX] Problem with hotkeys

Post by DarthKaal »

Hi there! I've never took the time to thank all the ScummVM team for the wonderful job that has been made. Thank you so much, I'm using it since a long time now and it's always a pleasure when I want to replay old LucasArts games. ;)

So, I've just finished Full Throttle and Fate of Atlantis, and I've noticed that some hotkeys were not functionning. I don't know if those key doesn't work at all with these two titles, but here it is:

(.) period to skip current line of dialogue. As I'm on a french keyboard, I've tried many things (pressing the key, pressing it with shift, pressing other keys, change keyboard to american...) but nothing.

"alt + F5" I'd really like to see the original load/save menus. Not that I really want to use it to make saves, but just for nostalgia. And it doesn't work either, it just does nothing.

Anyway, thanks again for this marvelous application ;)

That only works for a few of the games, where the save/load dialog was scripted, not hard-coded. (I think.) The ones I know about are Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Loom (EGA version) and The Curse of Monkey Island.

Thanks for the answer. ;)

Concerning the "." to skip dialog line, is it the same reason why it doesn't work with Full Throttle, FOA and The Dig?

Hi,

The same problem is occuring on every Lucas game, at least all those I have tried so far (Dig, Dott, Loom, Monkey Island, ...)
Hitting the '.' key does not skip the current line of dialog.
I'm also using a french keyboard, but setting it to american doesn't help.

This only occurs on the OS X port, I haven't seen that problem on the Win version.

Anyways, thanks to all ScummVM contributors for their efforts :)
