Same look/commands for Webtiles and download tiles

I think it would be good for the default look and commands for download tile version to match Webtiles. This will allow an easy transition for players from one medium to the other.

I started with the downloaded tile version and when switched to webtiles I had to relearn the controls. I am moving away from internet access so am trying to get the current download tiles similar to current webtiles.

Press F11 while on webtiles to get fullscreen.

The commands are the same. I'm not sure what you're getting at there.

As for the look, local and Webtiles are written in two completely different languages. Making them more similar would be nice, but is an enormous amount of work (one or the other would basically need to be completely rewritten fron the ground up) for not much gain.

On web tiles you can press 5 to rest multiple turns so you can regain HP/MP quick. On the downloaded version it only rests one turn. If you want to recover HP/MP you have to hit the key a hundred times or hold it down. If you hold it down a monster can come by and kill you before you can lift your finger.

5 on the numpad or the keyboard? Pretty sure on keyboard it does the same on both.

Re: Same look/commands for Webtiles and download tiles

From the manual:
If you press '5', you will rest until your hit points or magic return to full. You can rest for just one turn by pressing '.' or 's'.

Resting stops if a monster appears or if you are otherwise interrupted.


If you're using the numpad, you probably have to have numlock on.

Control + numpad 5 on downloaded version is the same as numpad 5 on webtiles

Pressing numpad '5' in downloaded tile version is resting for one turn whether numlock is on or off (on my windows 7 computer). It's different from keyboard '5'. In webtile version, both '5' are resting for 100 turns. I guess webtile version simply can't tell which '5' is used by the player.

Strange. On my OSX (downloaded tile version), numpad 5 with numlock on rests to full.
