Archived from groups: rec>games>roguelike>misc (more info?)

Hi. Sorry if this was answered before but im new here.

1) Is there any way to play Crawl (without tiles) on a mac laptop
using arrow keys instead "hjkl" keys? The terminal in my macbook seems
not to recognice arrow keys but on the other hand I use arrow keys in
my ibm laptop.

2) Its possible to show "blocks" instead of "#" as walls on mac? When
I play crawl on windows i think its using ansi or some sort of
extended ascii (walls, doors, etc.. have "graphical" representations)
I tried to change the char_set variable on init.txt but nothing seems
to work.

Thanks.

If you hit tilde (~), and then k for keymap, you will be able to
assign the arrow keys to hjkl. You will want to do this for the
default, level-map, and and targeting keymaps. Once you're done, then
you can save it and you'll never have to do it again.

(Joke answer: use the tiles version.)

When I set the charset to dec, I get blocks for walls and crosses for
doors. Is that not what you're looking for? (Maybe somebody who knows
better can answer you here.)

Well, finally i did it. Changing the charset to "dec" didn't work with
default terminal application from Mac OS X. But I downloaded an
application called "iTerm" and i get blocks for walls at last.

The only thing i dont like is that in mac you only get 8 colors,
instead of 16 like windows. I don't know why.

Thanks Rachel
Finally what i did was "big problems, big solutions" Smile
Installed "parallel desktop" (a virtual machine software) in my Mac
Now i can use Windows XP in a window inside my Mac OS X and inside
that window i use Crawl for XP, with cursor keys support, blocks for
walls, etc.... i know, i know: "wtf" but works! Smile

Because for some reason the Apple Terminal application only supports
eight colors. I use iTerm for all my Mac crawling needs, it handles 16
just fine. (Though if you compile on a Mac, it may do an eight-color
Crawl build by default; there's an option in there to change it, I can
look for it if you can't find it.)

Hey, if it works for you, go nuts Smile I was using VMWare to play with
Crawl Tiles for a while before I was able to get it to build under OS X.
I mostly play ASCII, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about,
and the tiles are in fact pretty fun. Think of it this way: "Xom looks
at your computer setup. Xom thinks this is hilarious!"

Happy Crawling!
