Greetings, I've been working with this problem for about 2 weeks now (play alot of tribes) and it's finally working with keyboard. I tried dinput about a week ago but couldn't make it work but as you said i should have used directx5 or 6 instead.
Keyboard works fine but i still have other issues, to make the game fully functional. Dsound komplains somewhat and the sound sounds pitched (plays to fast, thus giving the smurf syndrom), i tried to use -dll dsound.dll but it says that it can't find the file. I know i've done right so i checked around on irc.openprojects.net and they said that not all -dll's can be used natively, is this right? Also i fail to get opengl to work, i simply can't select it in game. Any ideas? I've compiled with --enable-opengl and i've run a testprogram using opengl which works fine. Tribes running in fullscreen mode it feels slow and strange, but running it in window mode makes it feel fast and stable. Why? i tried to use native ddraw.dll but then the game won't even start, there's just a black screen. Thank you for all your support, considering i've been running around looking at homepages and chatting on irc when you all solved my problem within 1 day, THANKS(!). Other than that Tribes works fine. >From: Steven Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Kristoffer Ericson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug >Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 15:11:53 -0700 (PDT) > >You need to use the windows dinput.dll as ours is (still) not up to spec.
