Suggestions / Mapping actions to keyboard shortcuts

« on: November 07, 2014, 10:38:22 pm »

Would it be possible to add mapping of actions (the ones that pop up when you use some item) to the keyboard shortcuts? I love how I can do almost everything on the keyboard in OpenXcom (the original had terrible UI), but this is the one thing I'm missing, and I miss it a lot! I know there's always different actions, but it can be mapped as first action on the list, second action on the list, etc.

no. everything apart from the soldiers and aliens are drawn from 1 angle only. some of the north and west walls have the same wallpaper, but that's about it.
it is simply not possible, SDL or no.

Okay, thank you.

I've been thinking about it some more. Isn't already almost everything in the battlescape drawn from every possible (0, 90, 180, 270) angle? I think I've seen everything (trees, barriers, crafts, UFOs, buildings, soldiers, aliens etc.) from every possible angle. And the actual rotation of the scene shouldn't be such a problem in SDL (I haven't dug too deep in the code yet, though).

Near impossible, it would require whole code overhaul and redraw 4 times every tile graphic in game.

That's too bad

Well, thanks for the info.

How hard would it be to implement a 90° map rotation in the Battlescape? I would love that feature, and it would improve the gameplay immensely (at least for me).
