Kurtz Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Sometimes (not always), ctrl-r becomes the command for a fire mission when it should be (according to the list of commands in the game) the Resupply command. This has happened to me a few times (and some other who asked on the chat). Sometimes resupply (ctrl-r) works. I have been careful not to press the wrong button (they are close on the keyboard).

weasello Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 It would be nice if it said in big giant red letters what you were about to click for, as sort of a "don't screw this up" confirmation. I know there's some small red text in the corner but it isn't quite obvious enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Gnome Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Maybe you all had a bad batch of keyboards and they have a short between the keys and sometimes when you click on one they get switched. Or maybe there is a gremlin in the game and its changing your commands just when it will tick you off the most. Or maybe there is a weird intermittent bug in the game... naaawwww its must be the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netherby Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'v never had this happen.. Are you sure you didn't just press the wrong button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I was very careful not to press 'f' But I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Qnet]Alien Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 i had this error twice, but cannot reproduce it. and i surely pushed only ctrl+r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Got this again today with 0.9.42, but only in some games. Later it worked fine, on the same server and the same game session (DT was never shut down). I got resupply remapped to F8 key, so it was definirely not the wrong key. Fire mission is still on Ctrl-F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Easy, if someone else is commander, then they have to call in the drop, and the program states you can nopt call down a fire support mission. I'll bet someone was the Commander. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yes, it says the team commander is the only one who can call in fire missions (or something to that effect). The problem is that I never wanted a fire mission. I wanted a resupply. And I press the key to get a resupply and somehow DT thinks I've requested a fire mission. I haven't found any way of reproducing this issue. As I said, sometimes it works (= I get resupply), sometimes it doesn't (= I get a fire mission which I don't have authority to demand) The worst case scenario is if I demand resupply as team commander and bring down a fire misssion on myself!

sillyb Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sometimes a ctrl-R click does not register for me, i have to try it two or 3 times sometimes. Not sure I understand why this is. At first I was thinking maybe someone already has a supply ship parked somewhere and I can't call another? But it happens even when I am alone on servers.

RIPper_SVK Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 i also have the problem that sometimes i have to press the shortcuts for arty, emp, resupply etc several times before the game recognizes them. i never had arty dropped instead of resupply though.

Peca007 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Originally posted by Kurtz: Yes, it says the team commander is the only one who can call in fire missions...Yes, I'v got the same message when trying call resupply. I'm not know english too much, so I doesn't know what "fire mission" meaning It become in version 0.9.42 after commander was choosen. Before vote of commander it was working OK.
