Dr. Donkey Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hey Guys, I've already tried searchingbut couldn't find an existing thread about this exact problem. I'm mainly using openJk for multiplayer and for some reason my ALT key won't work in console. This means I can't use alt codes to make spaces with the /name command or color my name since i can't type a ^ . The key itself works fine for binding other commands to... Any suggestions?

ensiform Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Why do you need alt codes to make spaces? German keyboard layout I assume? Link to comment

Any suggestions?That issue can be easily fixed. OpenJK automatically changes your common keyboard layout (QWERTZ) to the english layout (QWERTY). The Alt key won't work because the english layout is differentI don't know what operating system you are using, but try this. - First, minimize the game by pressing Alt and Tab.- Start the keyboard settings and change the layout/language from ENG to the language you're usually using.- Go to the game again by either pressing Alt and Tab again or by clicking on the game's icon on the taskbar.

Dr. Donkey Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Ah that makes sense... I tried switching keybaords using ALT and shift ingame but that didnt do anything. I'll try! Also I need to make spaces because using the /name command and using space key for spaces It just takes the first word. If i was to name like /name Just A Dude it would rename to Just. So i used alt + 0160 to make a space. Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You need to put your name in quotes if you want spaces Link to comment
Futuza Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You need to put your name in quotes if you want spaceseg: /name "Just a Dude" Link to comment
Circa Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Isn't /set name a better way to do it, or does it not matter in OpenJK? I remember in base /name had a shorter character limit or something like that. Smoo likes this Link to comment
ensiform Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 There are no differences in OJK. It joins all the arguments regardless. In original jasp and jamp it would only set the first argument if you did `/name Just a Person` but in OpenJK this works the same as `/set name Just a Person` this is because the former now looks at argument 1...n except in the cases of ; ending the command ofc.
