DF General Discussion / Re: Dfterm2 0.10, text Dwarf Fortress on remote servers (Telnet or web browser)
« on: May 13, 2011, 01:16:00 pm »I've released dfterm2 0.10 with DF 0.31.17 support.
There are minor changes, but in the spotlight is the ability to remap keys related to the interface. If you can't use Alt+1, Alt+2, Ctrl+L, etc. for some reason, now you can change them.
Now, I don't spend much time on dfterm2, having moved on to other projects, so I decided to make this feature quickly. Because of this, there is no nice interface to map the keys. You have to modify a configuration file. The windows installer installs a file called interface_keymappings.conf to the place where dfterm2 is installed where the key settings are. Instructions on modifying the file is in the file itself, you can modify it using the Windows notepad. Linux users should have the file in the same directory where they run dfterm2.
Also note that changes affect all users who connect to the server, and that the "Alt+1", "Alt+2", "Alt+3" etc. names in window titles don't change, even though the keys to change focus may have been remapped.
I've heard people have had trouble using Alt+combinations on their mobile devices and this was the motivation behind including this feature.
Other minor change is reducing the time spent waiting after an escape key. This should make esc more responsive.
Report any bugs or anomalies.
Wow! I missed this. Thanks a lot, I was the one that requested this initially. I'm going to try it out this weekend. Dwarf fortress on my phone will be amazing.
