OpenJK - Hat does not work

OpenJK for Windows, last bluid (16 february I think)

 

Tested on Windows XP.

 

Bug : ingame, I can't write any letter with the hat : ^ 

(example : ô, ê, î, û, â)

 

It does not work : I have ^o, ^a, ...

 

I think english would get a better color system but other languages need the hat.

 

 

 

Thanks you

Unfortunately it is the way that it is because SDL does not support it.  You would need an actual keyboard with these characters on them directly, to support it until SDL2 changes the way it handles text input.

:cry:

 

ok thanks you... and I suppose that SDL is very important (SDL2.dll) for OpenJK... ;)

 

What is SDL ?

 

I type "SDL" in the forum research but there is nothing.

It is the library that has been used the entire time on Linux and MacOSX.  We just unified the codebase to also use it on Windows.

 

It handles window creation, opengl setup, and also keyboard/mouse/joystick/sound events are handled through SDL.

I use a french keyboard.

 

I must type ^ and then I type the letter (o), and it does ô

Curious.  I don't know french, but how abominable is it to just type o?  I mean generally in a game you don't use proper grammar/spelling and people let laziness slide.  I mean if I say h0th people usually get what I'm saying, even though the letter is wrong.  (Not trying to make excuses/justify this, just curious how repulsive this is to try a solution like that?)

I don't understand you : To type o, I just press o.

 

To type ô, I press ^ then o

 

It is not more abominable than the ' and e to make é with the international qwerty keyboard.

 

On french Azerty board, we have direct key for é, à, ç, è, and ù. There is only the letter with ^ which need to press ^ before the letter.

 

 

The fact is not that people don't understand me if I use o in place of ô, the fact is that I am used to press ^+o and I type r^ole in place of rôle.

It will take me some time to change my practice.
