Title: No keyboard?
Post by InsaneNinjaPhreak on 05/01/03 at 19:18:45
I know there may not be many people out there that may not have keyboards and still want to play this game or just lost there keyboard or gotten it taken away, but maybe it would be possible to make it so people can still play Nightmist without being reliant on a keyboard, like adding maybe a enter button and some direction keys?

Clog the interface for the few souls who don't have a keyboard.  If you don't have a keyboard then get one...JLH can't help if you get grounded and get your keyboard taken away.

LOL, yeah what he said. If you din't have one you shouldn't be playing.. nor do I think it's possible.. you could always copy and paste.. don't know about sending the info through.

lol would it be possible just to have something to push to send then? I don't know why I brought this up, but it could be a problem if you had a cord-less keyboard and lost it...~keeps his cordless keyboard close to him~

Why would you bring your cordless keyboard anywhere away from your computer?  Unless yours is multipurpose use in some way...

Sometimes I answer the phone and bring it with me and lose it a long the way, or get called away from the computer and bring it with me becuz it sits in my lap and I have to either grab ahold of it or let it fall to the ground

NO newb, nightmist without a keyboard, I know some nights, I get tired of having to use my keyboard after doing all that clicking, I thought it'd be nice if I could just move with it too, but I guess that would be a bad thing eh?

The keyboard serves all major functions in the game except clicking on buttons. Whethere it be to buy an item, level up or to get drunk. Maybe command for all these things would be cool. like /buy advanced mana crystal, /drink (in pubs), and /levelup to obviously level up.

but how will you get into NM without a mouse?
Title: Re: No keyboard?
Post by Rattlesnake on 05/02/03 at 19:10:47
Exactly what I was thinking. You wouldn't be able to type in your username or pw.
Title: Re: No keyboard?
Post by InsaneNinjaPhreak on 05/02/03 at 19:12:49
and you wouldn't be able to click or double click the icon to start NM up

I wasn't referring to not having a mouse at all, just not using one. Also, you can open Nightmist without a mouse. Example, if you have the Nightmist shortcut on your desktop, I believe you can press "N" and it will select an icon in alphabetical order that starts with N. So, you hit N, hit enter, press tab to put in your pw, once logged in your acct, select your crit using the up and down arrow keys. Voila, accessing Nightmist without a mouse.

The easier method is to hit the Windows key to make the start menu come up, go to run, type in Nightmist.exe and repeat the steps listed above, minus a few steps obviously.

Actually all you have to do is press the windows key on your keyboard, use the arrow keys to go to program files, then find nightmist and hit enter. Then it automatically selects either Username or Password, then you type in either and then hit tab, and type in the other, press enter and your account manager loads. Then hit tab again and it goes through the list of crits for you to play.

~throws some of teh fluff at newb~ your turning my thread around into a practically no mouse thing...
Title: Re: No keyboard?
Post by newb on 05/02/03 at 19:51:46
Yeah, no mouse is better than no keyboard.
Title: Re: No keyboard?
Post by Selene on 05/02/03 at 22:04:46
Yeah, because it'd be hard not to type.. and you can always use your tab and arrow keys to get around on your computer.
