I don't have page-up/page-down keys, or a Del key for clearing inbox messages, or a right mouse button, definitely not a middle mouse button. It's really hard to get around Widelands on a modern laptop controlling the game speed is a basic thing that I should not have to do a tutorial to learn about. Gameplay tutorials are great. UI tutorials mean the UI needs fixing I'm happy and grateful that Widelands is a thing, so thanks! Top Quote

Oh yes, they are very annoying, you can turn them off in the main menu. I'd suggest to make it default that they are turned off... a lot of basic controls use keys that my laptop doesn't have (including the speed adjustment).

It's really hard to get around Widelands on a modern laptop In the new development version, we have some buttons for changing the speed. Maybe it would be good if one could easily customize the keys like in many other games... controlling the game speed is a basic thing that I should not have to do a tutorial to learn about.

The 0.5× is very welcome, but IMHO the steps 1→1.5→2→3… seem illogical. Alternative suggestion: PageUp/PageDown changes gamespeed by ±1 Shift+PageUp/Shift+PageDown changes gamespeed by ±0.25 Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown changes gamespeed by ±10 Shift+Pause sets speed to =1× Edited: 2019-12-09, 17:28 Top Quote

So nothing urgent I think. Yes your other proposition for time down is cool too! And I think there is no consensus on the fastland vs speedland, but I like we keep it that way (finally a fight vs Worldsavior I would have won !) Top Quote

But I removed the 0.5x speed since this can now be achieved with Shift + Page Down. Top Quote
