WALK AND RUN:
It's easy to move your character around:
to walk anywhere just
click with
your mouse where you want to go. If you want to
go running, just
double click
there. This running stuff applies to most actions.
When moving the mouse
pointer, it can change to any of those arrows. That is telling
you that the current
camera view will change if you walk or run there.
CROSSING DOORS: Click
a door when you see the 'door icon'. You'll see the zone name where
that door sends you. If you're crossing a
map cell by crossing that door,
you'll also see the direction where you'll go (North, etc). Just
double click
a door to go running.
Is
somebody blocking a door? Press and hold the
SHIFT
key to be able to click on the door and cross it.
ACTIONS: Press any of the red, main action icons: your
mouse
pointer will change to that action.
Then usually you have to
left
click
on the target player or the target Non-Player Character. For example,
this allows you to start an 'item exchange' with other player or start
a fight. If you want
to go running to perform that action,
double click
on the target character.
To
cancel the selected action and restore your mouse icon for walk, for
example, then click your
right mouse button.
USING INVENTORY ITEMS: Just
double click
an item on your inventory to wear it (i.e. armor), eat or drink your
food and even read it (if it's a book or something). You
cannot use every item directly from your inventory. Weapons and other
items are used from "the fight
screen".
TALKING WITH NPCs: You'll see this mouse icon when
placing your mouse over a Non-Player Character that have something to
say or trade to you. Just
click, and
your character will go walking. To go running, just
double click.
PICKING UP STUFF: This mouse 'hand icon' will appear when
you can search on that particular spot. For example, you can pick up
potatoes from sacks in the kitchen, search for
books in libraries or find stinky, broken socks and other disgusting
items in the laundry, but hey, you could need that.
USING STUFF: This mouse icon appears when you can do
something with that over your mouse. For example, cook using the oven
or cutting a wire from somewhere using the appropiate tools.
LOOT A CORPSE:
When you win a fight, you can loot the non-player characters corpses
and pick up the bounty. Just
click on
the corpse
and the loot window will open. From there you'll can pick up whatever
that poor
soul carried. To pick up something just click on it. In this window you
can also
LEAVE something on
the corpse or press the
GANG
button to automatically say to your gang what items are left in the
corpse.
DRAG & DROP: You'll use drag & drop with your
mouse when resizing your global chat window. Just drag it using the
white Chat button. You can also move a lot of game windows just by
dragging them with your mouse.
Right mouse button click
JOIN A "PARTY": When there is an
action that involves two or more players, that action is seen as the
two
main characters doing that action. For example a fight, a trade, a
raffle or
just a chess game. Press you
right mouse button
over this special characters to bring up the "join window". You cannot
join an action that is for two players only (a duel, or a trade for
example).
RESTORING YOUR MOUSE FROM AN ACTION SELECTION: When using
your main action icons (fight, steal, talk to...), you may want to
cancel your selection and say, need to walk again. Then just press your
right
mouse button to cancel your action mouse icon and it's done.
STOP YOUR CHARACTER AND CANCEL AN ACTION: If you clicked
somehing and your character is still going there to perform that action
(walking or running), you can discard that action just pressing your
right mouse button
on a free screen spot and your character will stop immediately.
