I'm using 42.06, but problem is here...

[Rose]

No, your problem is different.

I'm not sure how to support different keyboard layouts.

[Pvt. Pirate]

just redirect the keypress by keycode without interpreting.
the keyboard driver sends a code for the pressed key, the OS-Keyboardlayout interprets it and assigns a meaning.
just either completely skip the assignment or send assigned commands.

[Rose]

Problem is Dwarf fortress requires interpreted keycodes.

[Pvt. Pirate]

doesn't unity accept interpreted keycodes too?
then there should be no problem.
i got a german "qwertz" keyboard yes "Z"
many old games take the direct input and as Y and Z are flipped, mapping the controls can be a PITA.
what's even worse is the punctuation and special signs, which even differ among keyboards from countries with german language.
so if you tell me to go search for "/" i'd guess it should be somewhere on [Ö] [Ä] or [#'].
i only know as much as that there are the different approaches of either grabbing the input straight from the Keyboard or getting it after the driver and location-setting has interpreted it.
there's also a directX table of numericals for each interpreted keypress. (i know that, because i had to remap a key in a Fallout3 mod by editing a .ini once.)

Not sure what the windows equivalent is, but xkbcomp lets you install custom .xkb files with any layout you choose.

` looks not working. Idea about cause - if i change language of keybord, wasd can't work to. Paradox is - buttons work than language is not english.
Can you deal with it?
Thanks

I just did some testing.

The key for toggling the DF interface is always the one below the esc key, to the left of the 1 key, no matter which language you have enabled. If you have a russian keyboard, it's the ё key, for example.

So you Armok Vision's Engine uses direct input.

Note that this is for armok vision itself.

DF, weather directly or through Armok vision, does respect the keyboard layout.

Which means it'd actually be unplayable with russian keyboard.

No, if you add keybindings in DF "by position" then they will work regardless of the keyboard layout.

No, if you add keybindings in DF "by position" then they will work regardless of the keyboard layout.

I would do that if I were to do what you're doing, and make my own interface from scratch. Then I'd only use a few buttons, where the location matters more than the letters, and probably also add joypad control.

i'd use holographic display with direct interaction by hand gestures thought control.

Nah, just build the fortress and populate it with robots controlled by the game's AI.

You'll want to observe the dragon attack from a distance.

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to fully rotate camera and also increase the amount of displayed layers. where can I get help file, or a keybind list?

[Rose]

Rotate the camera with the right mouse button.

You van change the number of layers with config.json
