So people might realise we've been quite stingy with news on our latest updates. But I'm proud to announce that we are in the process of making S19 fully controllable with the keyboard (in fact we want to phase out the need for mouse control all together)
Below is a W.I.P representation of the S19 macro setup.

So what do you think? I've tried most of it on a test server and you would not believe how much easier it is to control without having to use a mouse. Much more fitting for a fast action game.
EDIT: This is a default setting players will be able to set up the controls however they like.

I would say phase the numpad out as it removes the laptop player base. But it shouldn't be a large problem unless you disallow player-made macros as we can just make macros to correspond to numpad commands.
|
Forgot to add that the controls will be fully customizable this is just the default layout.

numpad can still be accessed by those with laptops, thats what the Fn key is for
| |
Not all laptops have numpad support for Fn key and many don't even have the capability to function lock. My laptop's Fn key, for example, only corresponds to the F1-F11 keys because their default behavior is a various mix of volume, network, video, and screen controls.

WASD FTW

Or they could just make it so you could use both number pad and mouse?
| |
hmmm i suppose, there is the alternative of using the onscreen keyboard, but it wouldn't be efficient, you sure your keyboard doesn't have small numbers running along some of the letters?
| |
Honestly, this system is bad
| |
Do you have any solid reasons to support that statement?
