Shooting

[Kevlarkent]

Hello, I just got the game today and I can't make my ship enter "firing mode", mouse button 1-4 does nothing for me.

right mouse button while looking at the side of the ship you want to fire from lets you enter firing mode.  Then LMB to shoot the full broadside.  Space to fire individual shots.

As I said, it doesn't work for me.

Try checking your controls? In the initial menu you get when you launch from Steam there should be a sub-menu for controls. I'd check that to make sure your controls are all in order.

If you changed the keybinds before playing, try the reset input controls . Otherwise, try to uninstall any joystick drivers.

 

In any case, just fill a report with F11.

It says fire 1, fire 2, fire 3 and jump which is what mousebutton 1, 2, middle and space is bound to, so I'm guessing that thats the functions that aims and fires and so on. There's 2 set-ups of those though which is wierd?

I tried to rebind both first and secondary set-ups of keybinds for both of them to mousebuttons 1-4 but that didn't help.

I have a xbox360 controller so I'll try uninstalling that one.

Yes, I had a friend have similar troubles.  The solution was unplugging his Nostromo gamepad.  The keybindings don't seem to understand multiple input devices especially gamepads/controllers right now.

Had it unplugged, uninstalled, didn't help.

Okey, now it worked, maybe i was aiming straight, but it didn't do anything since I dont have any front cannons.

That will depend on what ship you have,not all will have Bow and Stern Chasers.
