In Response To: Re: AO SDL vs Rubicon X on a Mac Pro (C Lund)

: I'm using a Norwegian keybaord. And I've just gone through every single
: non-letter key in the hope of finding the keys that give framerates and
: zoom the map, with shift, with alt, and with both and none. Not getting
: framerates I can live with. But not being able to zoom the map is a
: hassle.

The keys are SDLK_MINUS, SDLK_EQUALS, and SDLK_QUESTION. If whatever you type to get -, =, and ? don't work, there might be a bug with the SDL library's Norwegian key handling :(

: How about making those controls configurable? Then it won't matter what
: keyboard the players are using.

That's planned, but not for the next release.

: Same place the saved Marathon games always went.

Which has a good chance of being write-only. Since we don't know where we can write files except the user's home directory, it should default to somewhere in the user's home directory. Some options:

~/Library/Application Support (which we currently use)
~/.alephone (used in Linux)
just throw them in ~ or ~/Desktop?
~/Scenario Name/ ?

As Forrest said, there is a (non standard) file system navigator, so you can really save them wherever you want them, despite where our default is.

: But it makes things less easy for the users in this case.
