I´ve tested the new point and click functionality a little longer today. At first I thought I will assign ESC to the left wheel button and OK to the right wheel button (2 buttons only on the G25), but after a while I came to the conclusion that the virtual keyboard on the left button is the better choice, because there are simply more possibilities than with ESC.
In the end the implementation in this iteration is great as it is. Maybe in future we can interact in this way with the cockpit (ignition, horn, speed limiter etc...) ?
I am more worried about the new view reset mode. I fear it might be a little motion sickness inducing for VR newbies, because the whole world is moving. In the past I closed my eyes, did a reset of the view and opened my eyes again.
What about this idea? During reset keep the world as it is and render a second model of the world in wireframe mode which is perfectly aligned/attached to the HMD. After ok the old world fades out and the wireframe world fades with colors in? But to be honest I have no idea if this could work and is better than the current solution
This one is kinda out of blue, not related to what you guys are trying to improve right now, but......
In multiplayer list of servers, there used to be an option to include or exclude demo servers. It's been gone for a while now. It would be really, really nice to get it back again. It's a bit annoying to search through them when I'm not interested in one.
Sorry if there was already a discussion about that, didn't catch it.
Please try out the Virtual Keyboard (press backspace or an assigned controller key). You should be able to operate LFS fully with only a controller and mouse. With a VR headset you don't even need the mouse.
There is now special support for several different keyboard layouts. It should work correctly with most of the main input languages used in LFS, specially the Latin ones. I think a few keys are in the wrong place on Czech keyboard and quite a few out of place in Hungarian. Japanese and Korean virtual keyboards are not supported properly, but will work fine in US English input mode.
Right, I had misunderstood his post originally. I see the bug now.
Interesting. I see that has always been the case, even before the virtual keyboard. I should make the colours selectable when only CTRL is down, and not ALT (or SHIFT).
Good find, thanks. That was working earlier today. I've got that in the debugger now.
By the way, do you use QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard? I read there are two types in use but only one input language identifier so I wasn't sure how to proceed with Czech support.
numbers part is copied just in case. You can see that we have "Ё" letter where the rest of the world has some signs... You can find pics of russian keyboards by putting "йцукен" into your web search site of choice.
EDIT: added windows-1251-encoded file with the layout
The only ones I know are not done now are Korean, Japanese and Turkish.
Anyone who has a keyboard that is not US or UK, please do run LFS and press BKSP (backspace) to show the virtual keyboard. You do not need to be in VR mode to do this!
It should look a lot like your actual keyboard, and you should be able to change your input language in the normal way and see the keyboard change as soon as you do.
Yeah, by a shortcut key or by clicking the language name in the task bar. Dutch don't need to do this as they have US keyboards, but people from some countries do regularly change the input language, specially if they have a non-Latin alphabet.
