S60 E61 and Multi-Taping (Gobliiins)

alferic · Post by **alferic** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 5:26 pm

Hello. I wanted to say thank you to the developers for giving me the chance to replay the classics from my collection on my mobile phone.
So far I only tried Gobliiins but they work really well. There is one problem I cannot solve - how to type in the level codes if I want to load a level?
I read on the forum and in the FAQ that there is a 0+1 shortcut which switches me into the multi-tapping mode. I was not able to get it to work though. When I am in the Cursor/Joystic mode I get numeric keys from the numeric keypad (and I cannot enter codes). When I switch to the Keyboard mode I get NO characters from the numeric keys (the left softkey starts to work as K character for some reason).
Please advice. I would really like to get a tutorial on the multi-tapping as I don't believe there is one in existance and the documentation and FAQ are not giving any details.
I'm using the build scummvm-060916-SymbianS60v3_test.sis.

Thank you again

Hi! Multi tap works like press 1 for a,b,c,0 and when you have the selected character press. hmm anotherguest key but 0-9 to press it. I am thinking about a different way to type things though for S60. (To enable to support for commands in any game easier)

So just to see if I got you right:
I have to press 'Special' key (I suppose it is 0 on my E61) and then start pressing the numeric keypad to start typing). Will try it!

If you will be able to do so I would suggest adding a support for the keyboard in the Keyboard mode on such devices so you'll get a full keyset + numeric keys with the modifier - i.e. the native way.

Thank you again for the excellent port and your tireless support efforts.

I downloaded BASS to test the keyboard input. Unfortunately I have to report that I did not find a way to enter the characters under the numeric keypad

if you are referring to the LINC terminals, they don't have key input on the PC port either and need to be clicked

(or am I missing the point here?)
