The Powder Toy

Console doesn't open in linux

  • pali6     15th Apr 2011 Member 0 Permalink
    I have Ubuntu 10.10 and I am big fan of powder toy, but for some reason console doesn't open when I press `. I have powder toy 47.3, I tried other keyboard layouts, but only thing that worked was recompiling powdertoy with changed SDLK_BACKQUOTE to SDLK_SEMICOLON. (Interesting fact was that writing ` in sign or in creation name worked.)

    For me it's the button right left to ''1'', Which isn't ''`''
    Hope that helped XP

    Button below ESC, to the left of 1, above tab.

    hmm that's odd, i'm on ubuntu 10.10 and it works fine for me. Never seen this problem.

    EDIT to idiots above: he obviously knows the right key, he typed it in the post plenty of times.

    I am guessing you have another application running that uses `. I know there is some terminal program that will open on `, and may have priority and stealing the key. The only other thing is your ` is not coming across in SDL as SDL_BACKQUOTE, there are other names for it.

    Ok, I solved it, it looks like powder toy doesn't use actual keyboard layout but the prefered one, when I set QWERTY as default layout it works. You can lock thread.

    For me it's the # key, for him it's not the same, maybe the keyboard isn't the same or stuff...
