All I get is the menu screen. It says press any key, and I tried every key on my keyboard and it still does not work.
Any key means any of the configured keys in the ini file. Just open the ini file and select and of the predetermined configs and then push any of the rotation buttons and it'll work.
Hey report! Just thought i'd let you know that i really like your game! However, the biggest turn off for me is the inability to configure the keys. Even being able to edit them in the ini file would be wonderful.
You can probably change the joystick button assignments, but the keyboard controls are listed in comments -- there's no way that changing them will have any effect.
I love this game already. Texmaster is way better than Heboris or Lockjaw! As for the people claiming that you cant change the keys, you can. Just use an hex editor if the predefined key setups dont suit you. I did this and the game now uses my preferred keys ASDW, KL.
File/hex offsets please? @All, Anyhow, here is my heavily commented "Texmaster2008.ini" file (note that I'm still using version 2008, dunno about 2009): Code: [PLAYER] ;Alphanumeric characters (maximum 9) player1_name = WEEDS player2_name = PLAYER 2 [VIDEO] ; Aspect ratio 4:3 ; Type 0 = Windowed mode ; Type 1 = Fullscreen mode width = 640 height = 480 type = 1 offset = 0 [KEYBOARD] ; Up Down Left Right A B C D ; Type 0 = S X Z C B N M Spacebar ; Type 1 = S X Z C M ; .

BTW, here are all of the hard-coded keyboard (function keys) commands for the game: Code: F1 = Player 1 maximum speed, fast-forward replay F2 = Player 2 maximum speed, fast-forward replay F4 = Stop AVI format video recording F5 = Start AVI format video recording F6 = Replay menu F7 = Background music test menu F8 = Toggle single-player middle pit/single-player left pit/multi-player pits F9 = Debug information F11 = Restart player 1 game F12 = Restart player 2 game
