==Input Modes== | ==Input Modes== | ||
===Hand-Cursor Mode=== | |||
*Hand-Cursor mode is used to interact with the user interfaces of the game. Appropriately, the cursor changes to an image of a hand when in Hand-Cursor mode. Think of this mode as freeing your character's hand to interact with the game or the environment. Most consoles in the game scene can be operated by using your character's hand in Hand-Cursor mode to click on the controls of the console. | |||
===Mouse-Look Mode=== | |||
*Most of the time, the game operates in Mouse-Look Mode. Many actions related to the operation of your character or their equipment are performed while in Mouse-Look Mode. Usually the only cursor visible in Mouse-Look Mode is the cross-hair at the center of the screen. | |||
*When Mouse-Look Mode is active, keyboard and mouse actions are routed to your character and any equipment your character is operating, such as a console. When engaged with equipment, the equipment may override character commands; in such cases, the equipment override prevails. | |||
===Switching Input Modes=== | ===Switching Input Modes=== | ||
There are three ways to switch input modes. | There are three ways to switch input modes. | ||
*<code>Right-Click</code> | |||
**Right-Click using the mouse to switch between Mouse-Look Mode and Hand-Cursor Mode. The selected mode remains in effect until Right-Click is again pressed to switch back to Mouse-Look Mode. | |||
*<code>Ctrl</code> | |||
**The Ctrl key temporarily enables Hand-Cursor Mode as long as the Ctrl key is held down. When the Ctrl key is released, Mouse-Look Mode resumes. The Ctrl key provides a convenient way to gain control of the mouse pointer for a quick click on a console button or to open a door. | |||
*<code>Enter</code> | |||
**The Enter key switches to Hand-Cursor Mode from Mouse-Look Mode. This method of switching modes is helpful when using the [[communication]]s toolbar to chat with other players. The input focus is automatically moved to the chat input control when switching from Mouse-Look Mode to Hand-Cursor Mode using the Enter key. | |||

The keyboard and mouse are used to control your avatar and everything else in the game.
Most often, the player is moving their character and looking around, maybe shooting a gun or something. This is Character Input mode, when your mouse and keyboard commands are controlling the physical actions of your character.
Amidst doing those things, the player must occasionally use their character's hands to interact with the game or the environment, such as picking up items, opening doors, clicking on control panels and dialog windows filled with controls. This is Hand Input mode, when the mouse and keyboard commands are controlling something else besides the motions of your character.
Input Modes
Hand-Cursor Mode
- Hand-Cursor mode is used to interact with the user interfaces of the game. Appropriately, the cursor changes to an image of a hand when in Hand-Cursor mode. Think of this mode as freeing your character's hand to interact with the game or the environment. Most consoles in the game scene can be operated by using your character's hand in Hand-Cursor mode to click on the controls of the console.
Mouse-Look Mode
- Most of the time, the game operates in Mouse-Look Mode. Many actions related to the operation of your character or their equipment are performed while in Mouse-Look Mode. Usually the only cursor visible in Mouse-Look Mode is the cross-hair at the center of the screen.
- When Mouse-Look Mode is active, keyboard and mouse actions are routed to your character and any equipment your character is operating, such as a console. When engaged with equipment, the equipment may override character commands; in such cases, the equipment override prevails.
Switching Input Modes
There are three ways to switch input modes.
Right-Click
- Right-Click using the mouse to switch between Mouse-Look Mode and Hand-Cursor Mode. The selected mode remains in effect until Right-Click is again pressed to switch back to Mouse-Look Mode.
Ctrl
- The Ctrl key temporarily enables Hand-Cursor Mode as long as the Ctrl key is held down. When the Ctrl key is released, Mouse-Look Mode resumes. The Ctrl key provides a convenient way to gain control of the mouse pointer for a quick click on a console button or to open a door.
Enter
- The Enter key switches to Hand-Cursor Mode from Mouse-Look Mode. This method of switching modes is helpful when using the communications toolbar to chat with other players. The input focus is automatically moved to the chat input control when switching from Mouse-Look Mode to Hand-Cursor Mode using the Enter key.
Unit
Unit Selection
Units are selected by clicking on them or by click-dragging with the mouse in Hand-Cursor Mode; units are also selected using the Unit Orders (Default: Shift+F3
) window.
Units can be selected in top-down view and in first-person view. In first-person view, click-dragging has a shorter range than clicking on individual units. In top-down view, there is no range limit to mouse selection actions.
Units can only be selected if you are in command of them. An officer of a spacecraft with troop berths can load troops. Troops on your ship's roster are in the Officer or Captains command.
Troops can operate vehicles, when a vehicle is operated by a troop in the player's command, the player can select the vehicle to issue orders to the operator.
In top-down view, units that can be selected are highlighted with a box around them. Enemy units and units commanded by other players can not be selected and so they are not highlighted with a box around them.
In first-person view, the player can click on the head of a unit to select when they are close enough.
Press the ESC
key to deselect all units.
Unit Orders
Selected units are issued orders using the mouse and by using key commands listed in the UNIT KEYS table below, units are also commanded using the Unit Orders (Default: Shift+F3
) window.
Orders can be issued to units in top-down, first-person, and third person views.
Click on the ground or on the deck of a spacecraft to order the selected units to move to that location.
Click on an enemy unit or wild animal to order the selected units to attack it. In first-person view, click on the head of a target when you are close to it.
Character Keys
The following table shows the default key command mapping for your character. Some command descriptions refer to a 'target'. The target is the object in the cross-hair at the center of your view.
E
- Enter/exit the closest console.
- Mount/dismount an animal or vehicle when close and targeted. In other words, look at it then press E.
F
or Left Mouse Button
- Fire the weapon/use current item on the target.
U
or Middle Mouse Button
Press Mouse Wheel
- Use current item on yourself. Turn on/off lantern and torch if it is selected.
Alt+~
/ Alt+Tilde
- Spawn tie to current city. Must be in a friendly town square. MOST KEYBOARDS REQUIRE THE SHIFT KEY ALSO.
Alt-Backspace
- Spawn recall, recall order is:
- 1) Spacecraft you hold a berth aboard
- 2) Last city spawn tied

- 4) Capital city of another empire after getting reassigned to that other empire.
Mouse Movement

Number 0-9
- Selects an item as the current item for use. The item selected by the number key is configured by pressing
Alt+Number
.
`
Back Quote
- Spots the target or terrain and calls out information about the target onto the current communication channel and the screen. If nothing is targeted, information about resources present in the sighted terrain is called out.
