Title: Request: a button fix
Post by: snowstorm on December 25, 2011, 14:17

So here's the deal:
While playing I decide to check my inventory, but instead of just pressing 'i', i accidentally press 2 buttons at once (like i + o. The 'i' intentional but the 'o' unintentional). This usually ends up in using a medkit or a homing device. I know it is not a bug but a mistake on my behalf, but it happens too often and is very frustrating. Is there a way to counter this? (besides putting a sniper mod on my own fingers so I don't miss all the time)

Open up a file called config.lua in your DoomRL directory in notepad (or some other text editor).

There should be a line that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

InvMenuStyle     = "HYBRID"

Change it to this:

Code: [Select]

InvMenuStyle     = "CHOICE"

You'll need to restart DoomRL for this change to take effect, but saving your game is fine.

Now, whenever you have to select something from the inventory, you will have to select it with the arrow keys and press enter; selecting with letters will be disabled.

Works like a charm.
Thank you and happy holidays!

Of course, that tacks seconds on to speed-runs...

Could accessing the inventory perhaps pause the game timer? :P
