Quote from lfsrm :

I think many of keyboard/mouse user are using the backspace for handbrake

Quote from RacerAsh3 :

Just as someone else has mentioned, backspace can be used for other current binds.

I don't think that was ever possible.

I'm checking in the code again. It seems backspace was never an assignable key.

Quote from RacerAsh3 :

On another scripting related comment, is it possible to "unbind" a /ctrlf shortcut? I know in the .txt included you can unbind "buttons" (/button [button] [function] - e.g. "/button 5 shift_up" (to unbind, use -1)), is it possible to unbind a CTRLF key so it returns to being blank?

It's not possible (at the moment) and I don't want to get into that now. It's basically down tools now unless there is a serious bug.

Sure it's possible :

That's space, not backspace.

Backspace is the one that deletes a character that you just wrote.

It may have the word "BkSp" on it or just a big arrow pointing left.

I chose it because I thought there wouldn't be any problems.

There was a problem, to do with horns / fake keys and I worked for two days to solve it. The result is various updates in test patch M8. I don't think there is a problem any more.

My bad, sorry for the confusion... since it's backspace I personally don't see any problem.

Quote from RacerAsh3 :

Thats true, but would be so much easier to incorporate it into one, especially as it can now be scripted.

Perhaps an idea Scawen? Would be very much appreciated by the cruising community (and perhaps the racing community too!)

You've just been given two extra horns which can be toggled. That's 7 horns total now. I'm sure you can achieve the effect you want with what you now have.

This is true, but the main reason is that normal HORNS cannot be scripted like the sirens, but I guess it is upto Scawen if he feels it would actually be beneficial

Test patch M9. Hopefully the final test patch before official version.

Quote from Kanade :

Just noticed something, every time I use the horn 1 it starts at randoms moments, not at the start of the sound. Like if it was looped (but muted if not used).

Here's a little video, in it you can hear that the sound is not starting from the beginning.

Also, thanks for the patch.

Thanks for the report, I reproduced it now.

Sorry I did not fix it for M9. It is fixed in my version.

As you said, it is only Horn 1 that is affected.

Good work on M9. Just had a quick test, mainly of the added doppler effect, which seems to work nicely.

Quote from Scawen :

I think this is more related to muliplayer than audio...

Quote from Scawen :

Passwords hidden on Start New Host and Join Specific Host screens

Would be nice to have this as option. It's good in case of streaming or not showing sensitive passwords if other people around,but sometimes someone could be unsure if the correct password has been entered as it's not visible now - is the admin pass now entered or an old one (in case of leagues with changing passwords for same server.

Hmm, chat history lines being eaten by / commands seems to have come back.

It is only /press /shift /ctrl and /alt that don't go into the message history.

Thank you very much for all the testing!

New version 0.6N is available!
