Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 How exactly do I apply Capitalization to names and save files? I have noticed on some screenshots of various players having capitalized names, so I was wondering how it was possible. (I'm asking about G1-G5, so if there is anything different in the process to doing this, please include it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Uh, the same way you usually do: hold down the shift key while typing a letter to make it a capital letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Oh, I never stopped to think about Shift. I would always attempt it with Caps Lock. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Caps lock doesn't work properly? That's probably a bug that you should email Jeff about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Caps doesn't work for any Spiderweb game, Thuryl. You've always had to use shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Caps lock has never, as far as I can recall, worked with Spiderweb's in-game text input. It's not a major issue and may, for all we know, be intended. —Alorael, who could easily see Jeff fixing the problem. It also seems quite likely that it's not issue enough to spend more than a couple of minutes working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Oh yeah, I'm not especially surprised that it doesn't work, given that all SW games have screwy nonstandard keyboard handling for some reason. I just think it probably ought to be be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Maybe it should all go under the heading of accepting standard input and not reinventing the wheel. —Alorael, who still prefers the games that allow you to make save files and put them wherever you want on your computer. Is it just a coincidence that those saves were also smaller and faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Namine Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I thought caps lock worked when you click shift+D for the cheats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes, because that's a normal text box provided by, as best I can tell, the usual system that provides text boxes in programs. —Alorael, who thinks the lack of weird Geneforge font is the giveaway there.

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Damn . . . you can capitalise with the shift key? I learned something today. And yea the cap lock not working in Spidweb games has always annoyed me, but now that I know about the secret of the shift key I'm gonna capitalise everything in sight.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Are there really people who type a single capital letter by hitting Caps Lock, typing the letter and hitting Caps Lock again? That's not what's it's for. It's for when you need to type entire sentences in all caps. Geez, more schools need to offer typing courses.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Indeed (see i used shift there like a normally well educted guy does) it annoys me when I see people typeing single capitals with caps lock and then when I tell them about shift they dont believe me lol. It's annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Maybe you'd be taken seriously if you were laughing less. It's hard to trust someone who's giggling at you. —Alorael, who points this comment at Thuryl and raises an eyebrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I apologise about the brackets. Mabey it was a little offencive and patroniseing. I didn't think before speaking for which I am sorry and will try not to let it happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 When Thuryl's posts are all in lowercase letters he is making a point. In this case I suspect it has less to do with feeling offended than with doubting your grounds for condescension while neither capitalizing nor spelling correctly. —Alorael, who believes there may have also been a dash of humor at the combination of your disdain towards poor capitalization and Thuryl's tendency to show disdain by not capitalizing.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It wasn't poor capitalisation I was annoyed at peoples ineffiency at capitaliseing. The extra effort people use by useing caps lock when shift can be used seems silly to me. I did not realise that Thuryl's post was uncaptialised or containing incorrect spelling. I stuggle to capitalise and spell correctly normally. Nevermind detect someone elses mistakes, whether on purpose or accidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You capitalize the first letter of every sentence, the pronoun "I", and proper nouns like the names of people, places, corporations, etc. If you can't spell, use a spellchecker, such as the one built into Mozilla Firefox. Firefox's will underline misspelled words with a red zig-zag, and right-clicking the word will bring up a list of suggestions. It's not quite as good as actually learning how to spell correctly (it's a very useful skill to have in life), but it's better than nothing.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I do lol i'm writing a story so i'm improveing constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 If that's the case,then why did you misspell "improving" and "constantly" and fail to capitalize "I'm" twice? Your punctuation needs work too. I'm assuming English is your first language, since you're from England. Thus there's really no excuse for it except possibly dyslexia. It's worth remembering that although English may be your first language, we do have people here who have trouble with properly written English, let alone misspelled English. It's common courtesy to put in your best effort to make your writing legible. I've seen far worse writing than yours, but it could still be much better.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeh I know that and I do put in my best effort, I re-read every post before I submit them. I am dyslexic but I try my best to not let it bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 i nuu leik propah grmmr So yeah, I do capitalize every letter/word/phrase/sentence with Caps Lock, and not Shift, I find it to be more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 But it's like pressing three keys instead of just two. Please could you explain how you find it more efficient because I can't understand the reasons behind capitlising single letters useing caps lock being more efficient?
