6 | =head2 Tutorial |
|
|
7 | |
|
|
8 | For first time users of Deliantra, consider skimming through the |
|
|
9 | L<tutorial>. You can also access it by pressing the B<Help> button at the |
|
|
10 | top. |
|
|
11 | |
|
|
12 | =head2 Apply and Examine Keys |
|
|
13 | |
|
|
14 | The B<Spacebar> usually applies the topmost object on the ground, while |
|
|
15 | the B<Return> (or B<Enter>) key examines it. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard> |
|
|
16 | for more keyboard mappings. |
|
|
17 | |
|
|
18 | =head2 The Completer |
|
|
19 | |
|
|
20 | You can type most commands by simply typing an B<abbreviation> whenever the |
|
|
21 | play area has the keyboard focus. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard> |
|
|
22 | for more info. |
|
|
23 | |
|
|
24 | =head2 The Mouse |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | The left mouse button usually B<examines> an item. The middle mouse |
|
|
27 | button usually B<applies> an item (which can mean a lot of things, such |
|
|
28 | as drinking, wearing, wielding and so on). The right mouse button usually |
|
|
29 | opens a B<menu> with further options. For example, the right-mouse-button |
|
|
30 | menu of the playing area gives you quick access to the playerbook and |
|
|
31 | autopickup, while the RMB-menu in the skills window lets you create key |
|
|
32 | bindings for using skills. |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | =head2 Autopickup |
|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | You can let your character automatically pick up stuff when you are moving |
|
|
37 | over a L<map space|glossary/space>: First select which items to pick up in the |
|
|
38 | B<Setup/Pickup> window, then enable/disable it using the right mouse |
|
|
39 | button menu of the playing area. |
|
|
40 | |
|
|
41 | It's customary to disable autopickup in civilised areas, to reduce the |
|
|
42 | risk of taking an item you should not pick up. |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | =head2 Moving the Map |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
46 | You can move the map (I<not> the minimap) around by dragging it with the |
|
|
47 | middle mouse button. This is useful when you rearrange your windows and |
|
|
48 | want to move the center of the map. |

51 | =head1 X<tooltip>Tooltips |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | This section contains some of the tooltips of the Deliantra client. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | =head2 X<modifier_box>Keyboard Modifiers |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently |
|
|
58 | active ("pressed"). |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | =head3 B<once/REPEAT> |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving, |
|
|
63 | firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as |
|
|
64 | possible. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to |
|
|
67 | execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your |
|
|
68 | character is able to, the actions will be queued. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you |
|
|
71 | keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run |
|
|
72 | faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop |
|
|
73 | immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press |
|
|
74 | the keys will stop your character. |
|
|
75 | |
|
|
76 | =head3 B<move/FIRE> |
|
|
77 | |
|
|
78 | C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key. |
|
|
79 | For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow |
|
|
80 | will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this |
|
|
81 | also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills. |
|
|
82 | |
|
|
83 | =head3 B<alt> |
|
|
84 | |
|
|
85 | Shows wether the C<Alt> key is pressed or not. The Alt key can be used |
|
|
86 | together with the arrow keys to achieve diagonal movement. It is also |
|
|
87 | commonly used to define keyboard macros. |
|
|
88 | |
|
|
89 | =head3 B<num> |
|
|
90 | |
|
|
91 | C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on the Windows Operating System, |
|
|
92 | having it on can make it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for |
|
|
93 | moving or firing. Likewise having it off on Mac OS X might cause problems |
|
|
94 | with diagonal movement, so when you encounter keyboard issues, try to |
|
|
95 | toggle NumLock. |

|
|
141 | horn, rod, bow etc.) and a combat attack weapon (such as a sword, knife |
|
|
142 | etc.) at the same time, but only one of them - marked with a C<*> - will |
|
|
143 | be wielded at any one time. You can quickly toggle between the two slots |
|
|
144 | by using C<KP-Plus>, but usually the server will automatically switch |
|
|
145 | between the two slots as needed. |
