In that case, I'm for changing ctrl+w to shift+w. Either that or
changing the stop speech to alt, like it is in GMA Games.

Hi.
My thought is can you have it check for key Pressed instead of key Down?
Then it will interrupt anything it was saying when you press control,
but when you hit w it should be able to speak it.

Since the control key is more or less the standard silence key, at least for

Hi Che,
Yeah, you make some good points there. I will say though the main
reason I'm against using alt is that I've also got a first-person
version of this game in production as well. Although the MOTA standard
version doesn't use alt the first-person version uses it alot for
things. I want the si

Hmmm...It ssounds like the majority are in favor of using the escape
key. Sounds fair enough to me. That leaves the shift, control, and alt
keys open as modifiers. Which I need all of them for MOTA 3D when I

Hi Bryan,
Yeah, it was. Many of the classic Dos games used q for quit. Many
Linux games use q or control+q for quit so there is certainly plenty
of history for using that as a quit key.

Hi Tom I'd go for the first option, the control key seems to be a universil
shut-up key for speach in both windows and audio games, so it might be
easier for people if it's kept like that.

Greetings Thomas.
You might consider assigning the grave accent to interrupt speech. It's a
key that's rarely used in games, and has the merit of being near your
operating hand, and is readily accessible.
The grave accent key, for example, is at the left-hand corner of most
keyboards, clearl
Hi Philip,
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.I'm definitely looking for a more
effective way to handle this as I've never quite got the hang of
DirectInput's keyboard handling. I've found SDL much more easy to do
what I want to do as its much more self-explanitory and simple.

Hi,
Currently I have it mapped to control since that's usually what screen
readers use to silence speech. Thing is I've got this little technical
quark where it shuts up any status command asigned to any
control+letter combo. Reasigning it to something else is the obvious
solution for that problem
hat you feel is best and what other people on the list may
want.
