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 philip,
Thanks. That's a good suggestion. Although that means a major rewrite
of the G3D input code. At least for Windows. I'm not really willing to
put that many hours into bug fixes right now. As I explained on the
USA Games list I'm looking for quick and simple solutions to bugs so I
can get MOTA 1.0 out of the door. I can worry about rewriting input
handling at some other point. I've already got my hands full
completing the Windows version let alone finish updating the Linux
version of the G3D engine and releasing a cross-platform version of
MOTA.
Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
There is a third option, which will let you maintain the current keyboard
layout. You can first perform a check to see if the ctrl key is pressed, if
this is the case then interrupt the speech. This should obviously be a key
pressed rather than a key down check, so that it only reports true again if
the user releases the key and then pushes it down once more. Then you can
check if the w key is pressed, and if this is the case check if the ctrl key
is down. This is what I do in my upcoming game to solve this issue and it
works very well. Just make strategic use of key down versus key pressed and
there won't be a problem. What will end up happening, of course, is that
speech is first interrupted when the control key is pressed but then
immediately restarted again if w is pressed and control is still down.
However speech won't be interrupted again on the next loop iteration because
control will just be down, but not newly pressed. similarly the status
command won't be restarted over and over again because w has not been newly
pressed either. Using a key pressed rather than a key down check would also
solve the slight quirk where holding down one of the number keys starts a
violent stutter of the weapon name as it gets retriggered on every single
loop iteration.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall
