well i have some... printscreen, alt+f4, alt+tab, ctrl+alt+del... add them :D j/k just add printscreen many newbies don't know how to take screenshots from we :nono:

what about the Ctrl+numpad and ctrl+page up/page down? and if you select a doodad and press home it makes it wider, end makes in narrower. pageup makes it taller, and pagedown makes it shorter. ctrl+right click rottes map.

yeah thank you!
I just remembered them myself :D

END, HOME, PageUp and PageDown dont give me those effects :(
please tell me how to do it and which WE you use!

Do you have to press just HOME?
or ALT+HOME? or CTRL+HOME? or SHIFT+HOME?

tell me so I can update this guide correctly!

-- Nuladion --

I think you use control + Page up, etc...;)

no, CTRL+PageUp changse the height of the doodad, not the size!

does noone know????
Come on, there must be someone!
I want to make this as good as it gets! It can be very helpful for the ones who are just starting, and it helps you doing things a lot faster then before! :D


-- Nuladion --

for those of you who dont know, you do this after you place the doodad. you do window-new pallet-doodads-select the selections things-select the dodad. do watever you want to it

also I cant get the Ctrl+num1

thanks! I'll try that!

Cant get the CTRL+NUM1 ? I worked for me!

wut u mean by num 1

NUM = Numpad !
those are the digits to the right of the arrow keys!

You had control+c as cut and control+x as copy, I switched them so they are correct now.

thanks! I hope that was the only typo :bgrun:

EDIT:
btw FyreDaug, I PM/mailed you a couple of times about an account on your Dark Cresent server, but I never got a reply ....... I really would like to use it :D

just read the manual...
