Character Control Keys

[Admiral Refuge]

In the old version of Eclipse (Eclipse 4.5), there use to be an extensive help system built-into the server.
Here's a pic:

* * *

I was looking at that help, and I found something… The controls for Eclipse!
Though most Eclipsors already know the controls, some people do not.  So here are the player controls (according to 4.5):

he controls of the game are as follows:
**Arrow Keys** - Depending on which one you hit is the way your character moves.
**Enter** - Used to pick up items on the map or to chat.
**Shift** - Holding down shift and using the arrow keys makes you run.
**Ctrl** - Using this key will let you attack.
**Insert** - When you double click on a spell it will memorize it, you use Insert to cast it when you select an enemy!
**F1** - Brings up the Admin Panel with many commands on it.
**F4** - This will open the Guild Create form.
**F5** - Brings up the Guild Panel, this is where you can add players to you guild.
**F11** - This will take a screenshot of the game client.
**F12** - This will take a screenshot of the game screen only!
**Home** - This will turn your character in place! (clockwise)

It seems that the "End" key doesn't rotate your char anymore though, but everything else should still be the same.

Re-Build in the help!

I never knew 'bout END… Weird...

OMG; End with the diagonal movement script and ISO sprites...

[Drag0n]

Yeah, end doesn't work anymore. I want the help system back aswell; it should also include all the links to the stickies -_- too many people making noob topics these days

[Admiral Refuge]

@Ðragon:

> Yeah, end doesn't work anymore. I want the help system back aswell; it should also include all the links to the stickies -_- too many people making noob topics these days

Most of the info on that help system is already in the stickies.  Actually, if the Help was in EE2.7, there probably would be ALOT less questions on the forums

[buny]

where can i edited the controls?

[Patrick]

In main.txt in scripts in server i believe.

[vaird]

Is F2 Potions?

[YuraguKoto]

It's the HOME key that turns your character. F2 is HP, F3 is MP I believe.

F2 and F3 are correct.

I'm not sure which Key turns the character anymore, it probably is "home" now

[Kirby Lord]

It is home just to let you know. :P

[Patrick]

Wait, couldn't "we" put this in the elcipse server using source edit?

I'm having troubles with distributing stat points. /train isnt working, and everything else i type in comes up with invalid command. I'm getting pretty tired of this. Can anyone help?

Hi, welcome to Eclipse :azn:

I hope my guide helped you regardless, on the character control keys and commands.

Training stat points is easy, and you don't need to use any sort of "/train" system ;)

Just click the "Character" button, so you can see how many points you have.
Then, click the little "+" next to the stat you want to increase.
The "+" is hard to see though, because the text is red, and so is the default background.

But it is there, and if you click that "+", it should work.

Anyway, once again, welcome to Eclipse, and if you have any other questions, we will be more than happy to help you and answer them, all you would need to do is post the question :)

This should be stickied.

> thats nice but what happend to the help menu on server

Someone removed it along the way, for some very strange reason.

EE2.8 (posted in announcements) should have it back though.
