Title: menu selection Post by: rodan1 on March 14, 2009, 09:14:35 pm I'm brand new to URQ. I'm also working on a laptop. The problem I'm having is moving from the screen to some of the menus. For instance when I'm in the starmap and want to get over and click on navigate I can't. Whas up? I think I've tried every key combo in the galaxy!

Title: Re: menu selection Post by: rodan1 on March 15, 2009, 07:03:04 pm I saw all these and they work just fine but I'm unable to move from say the star map over to the menu, that is without going up a level in the menus ie by hitting the spacebar. For instance when I plot a course in the starmap and want to move over to the menu with the options; starmap,manifest, game, navigate, so I can hit navigate I can't get there. If I hit the spacebar I go up a level in menus and I don't want to do that.. I hope I'm making myself clear. sorry if I'm not.

Title: Re: menu selection Post by: Alvarin on March 15, 2009, 11:21:36 pm Yes . By clicking [Enter] .
This selects the destination and movement starts . Once in navigation , you can take control from the autopilot by pressing any arrow key . If you want the menue from there - press [Space] ...

You have to exit the starmap and then you can access the menu like normal.
Title: Re: menu selection Post by: Defender on March 17, 2009, 02:36:40 am I'm not especially fond of "thanks in advance" requests, Why...Are they that detrimental to your health Shiver? I sometime say thanks before any help is actually done...it makes yourself sound more appreciative to getting help and therfore more people might be responsive to your needs. Oh ya... Thanks for reading this, in advance. Title: Re: menu selection Post by: Shiver on March 17, 2009, 02:52:42 am Why...Are they that detrimental to your health Shiver? I sometime say thanks before any help is actually done...it makes yourself sound more appreciative to getting help and therfore more people might be responsive to your needs. Oh ya... Thanks for reading this, in advance. "Thanks in advance" contains the implicit assumption that people are going to do whatever you're asking of them. It is a disrespectful thing to say, although I do appreciate that you took the liberty to highlight this for the rest of the forum. rodan1's use of the expression seemed inadvertent; yours clearly demonstrates my point. Title: Re: menu selection Post by: jaychant on March 17, 2009, 03:49:58 am No, saying "thanks in advance" is like saying "I will appreciate it really much when someone responds". It makes it clear that you actually appreciate the help. You are the first person I have known to consider it "disrespectful". I say "thanks in advance" all the time when requesting sprites, music, etc on the GMC.
