[disc] Using the right keyset or how to make a game playable all over the world

What if they dont have "Num Lock" on?

The numbers on the left of the keyboard, not the numpad.

I am not sure about those, while they are on same place in every keyboard, they are still too far away to be used constantly. Its one thing to press 1 to change weapon after 15 minutes, but it would be uncomfortable to use them for constant fire.

Thanks, I've made my final decission to keep FGH for the momemt, simply because you can change the keys you want to use and you could even play with mouse.

Not to mention that the keyset will be stored in a shared object so you don't have to set it up again if you play from the same computer (and if you don't allow SOs, well, that isn't my problem then)

Anyway, though my post wasn't directly related to westbank (in the first place, it was more of an example), it might be usefull to keep that in mind for keyboard driven games or games that use a lot of keys ...
