Not well-known controls
Tue, 2013-12-24 22:14
Hi! There are some controls in Hedgewars which are not broadly known and can’t be configured directly.
In game:
- [Precise]+[Walk left]: Look left (without moving)
- [Precise]+[Walk right]: Look right (without moving)
- [Precise]+[Timer 1]: Minimum bounce
- [Precise]+[Timer 2]: Low bounce
- [Precise]+[Timer 3]: Normal bounce
- [Precise]+[Timer 4]: High bounce
- [Precise]+[Timer 5]: Maximum bounce
- [Hog info]: Turn team bar on/off (yeah, that’s exactly not what the key binding menu says, but … lol)
- [Precise]+[Hog info]: Toggle tags above hogs
- [Precise]+[Hog info]+[Switch hog]: Toggle entire HUD on/off
- hold [Precise]: Your hog won’t slip away on slippery ground (important for Snow and Christmas themes)
- [Precise] + [Switch hog]: Switch through hedgehogs in reverse order (in 0.9.21)
- [Confirm]: Team chat (opens chat with “/team ” pre-entered)
- [Precise] + [Screenshot]: “Map dump”. Save entire map as image map and as mask into the screenshot folder, the names will be “mapdump_<date>_land.png” (mask) and “mapdump_<date>_landpixels.png” (image map).
Lesser-known flying saucer controls:
- [Precise]+[Up] Aim up
- [Precise]+[Up] Aim down
- [Precise]+[Long jump] Fire towards crosshair direction (rather than dropping weapon)
In map editor:
- [Left mouse button]: Draw/erase
- hold [Right mouse button]: Draw/erase straight line without preview (only in line mode)
- [Left mouse button] + [Left Ctrl]: Draw/erase straight line with preview (only in line mode)
- [Mouse wheel up]: Increase brush size
- [Mouse wheel down]: Increase brush size
If you have more esoteric key binds, please let me know. I’ll update the post accordingly.
Edit: I have found some more key bindings in 0.9.20.
Edit 2: I added another key binding: “hold [Precise]”.
Edit 3: Added some map editor keys and a new key binding for 0.9.21.
Edit 4: Add team chat key.
Edit 5: Add new map dumping functionality
Edit 6: Special flying saucer controls
Hi, I am a Hedgewars developer.
Original use of precise? To aim precisely? I don't know if that counts as esoteric.

Not sure if it's documented but double tap on vertical jump allows you to jump backwards.
If you hold [Precise] you won’t slip away on slippery ground. Slippery ground can be encountered (for example) in Snow and Christmas themes, especially the girders.

Well, more precisely, you won't slip if you aren't already sliding
The movement/aim keys work too, but precise is often the most convenient one if you're doing something.

Yo!
Map Drawing controls could go into this list too!
(ctrl/mousewheel effects etc.)

Okay, I added a couple of new controls over the last months.
0.9.21 came with a new “map dump” functionality, very useful!
Please check out the first post.
