Title: Confusing 8(
Post by: Aska on September 10, 2005, 06:03:09 am

This game is very confusing. It does seem very cool but you get dropped in there and you have no clue what to do. I just need help on a couple things, how do i get the camera controls to work? They dont seem to. When i look at the screenshots of the game the menu that has \"Options\", \"Shortcuts\", you know, it small and up at the top. On mine though its big and on the left of the screen. PLZ help.

P.S.: These arnt all my questions I dont want to flood one post with 6-7 questions....Ill post the rest later.

Change your view with M and those big buttons can be made smaller by dragging on a tiny red box on the bottom right of all the options boxes.

Thanks. Another thing is about why cant I run it in full-screen? When I do the screen is all black. I\'ve seen dozens of threads about the dreaded black screen bug, but mine only happens when i run it in full screen. Plus, alot of the menus are confusing for me.... like when I talked to the trainer near the big circl with a huge statue/fountain. I couldn\'t tell what i had to press or anything. I might have more questions after these get answered. Thanks.

Sorry if I\'m being a burden to anyone. But alas, I\'m a newbie.  :)

Not at all, input like this is great in helping us improve the GUI and make things clearer and easier to use.

(Read: That is, convincing Talad that many elements of the current GUI suck, and it has to change no matter how much he argues. :P)

Hey I had the same problem about the full screen.  You can try running it in 16 bit mode and not 32 bit mode, when you go to run planeshift in the same folder should be an option to run planeshift setup.  But if you want to run 32 bit mode, you need to get a better graphics card.

Hey, when I try to drag the menu thing to the top, all it does is get scrunched and screwed up :(

If your button menu thingy gets corrupted, try to right click on the >>> symbol.  If you can\'t see this because it is too small, I think you can delete planeshift.cfg and run the updater to fix any problems with different windows not working, etc.
