Re: Amiga SWOS-Total Pack V1.5.2 (2012-12-10) - Amiga SWOS Online Integration

Hi!
I have a problem, after installing Swos-Total Pack 1.33.
I get the following screen after start Swos.
I tried to reinstall it and unpacked to location named without space character
Does anyone help me ?

As S have function in the game, in our local games we prefer IJKL + F as Fire when we must use one keyboard for two players, as this is a combination where you don t use any of the special keys (P, S, R, H).

Thanks for your question. In such settings we always use:
For player1: 4 arrows + RCtrl
For player2: IJKL + F

IJKL+F fits with the requirements: as sepatrate as possible from the 4 arrows, about same shape as 4 arrows , no special keys, no problematic keys (like y/z which are in different place on English and German/Hungarian keyboard layout), no accented keys like é which could be good on Hungarian layout (OKLÉ) but not on any other.

(Numbers can be problematic in some keyboards, the bottom letters XCVBNM not good as middle line letters as forward are more shifted to the left make it less 4arrow like, and all other settings have at least one special key.)

IJKL+F can be used on QWERTY (English), on QWERTZ (German/Central eu.) and on AZERTY (French) layaout too.

Two side note:
1. Many players when first face with the fact that we use letters for player2 ask what if we plug a second keyboard on USB (first can be either PS/2 or USB), and use 4arrows for both players. It seems good idea for a second, but if you plug 2 or 3 or any number of keyboards, the computer can not know on which keyboard was a key pressed so it not help with such issues. (But we do plug a second keyboard as to make it more comfortable, but on one keyboard letters should use.) OFC a keypad can solve the issue, but not all PC have gameport, and not always we have/had kaypad.
2. IJKL+F not much but a bit less confortable, especially for the first time (after some games it is 98% same). So to make it more fair always the home player (decided by SWoS eg.) have the right to choose between Arrows and IJKL.
