Metanet Forums

Hello, I'm french and I discovered N one year ago, and now I love it. I begin to make my maps with Ned. To insert a "bounce block" you have to press "-:" but I've a french keybord and I don't find the key. I find all other object by testing but for the bounce I tested all my key : there isn't bounce block. Could somebody help me?

Try pressing 6, or the ")" key to get it. Haven't you got the - on the right of your keyboard?

This drawing says it's on the number 6.

No, the 6 is for zap drones. I've - but it doesn't work. I've tried all the key and no one can insert a bounce block. It's strange metanet didn't think to french keybords ^^.
And I've an other question: I tried to make a demo of my levels, I read the editor manual topic "demo", I do exactly what was written (write?) : I save the demo, I copy level data in "level" data and the demo in "demo data", I load level and demo, I initialize demo and press "p".....and the ninja don't do like I played. I tried to copy level data with and without the $, #, name and comment and it doesn't work. When I tried to watch a demo I copy level and demo and it doesn't work... I'm desperate^^

For the demo, what you have to do is load the level data into Ned, press L, load the demo data, press 3 then Q then P. That will make N do what you did.

Try to write hyphen (-). If it's the 6 button then something's wrong. In that case you should go to Control Panel and set another language. I don't know where is it on English keyboards, but if you set it to Bosnian it will be there where is exclamation mark (!) on that picture I posted earlier.

or try num lock

It's the 6 key. You have to hold a modifier key (like the "fn" key on a Mac) and then press 6 for the "-" key. It'll probably be something like "alt" on your keyboard. Mess around with different key combinations.

a shift on a pc...maybe?
shift-6
or numlock is my other guess

I tried with shift, numlock, fn, ver num and it alway insert a zap drone :( .Where can I contact a N developer?

Since I am at France, I'll see what I can do.

Also, I swear that you have to use shift to hold a number. Try it without shift.

I've tried all my keys with or without shift or fn and it doesn't work :(

I've found a solution: I insert a gold and in the level data I switch the 0^ with a 1^

Go into your keyboard settings and set a hotkey to change your keyboard from French to Canadian English / USA English / whatever. If you don't know how, press F1 on your desktop and search 'keyboard' in Windows help. Sometimes it lies about how it's menus and windows actually look, but usually it's at least semi-helpful

They'd better make this easier in 1.5.
