Ctrl, right click

Trainz Junkie
I recently saw in a thread, i think, a mention of a file called right click, no control or something like that, that lets u rt click on an asset without pressing control, to get info. I have searched to no avail. This search engine is just awful. Does anyone know about this file. Does it exist or was I dreaming
 
Place this line in the trainzoptions.txt file...

-allownoctrlrightclick
Removes the requirement to have to hold down the CTRL key when right clicking an object in driver to see info about the object.

Do a search for author "WileeCoyote" and "Trainzoptions.txt modifications/additions?"

He had a post 1-10-2008 that gives a list of possible mods.

Good question and great answer!

Any clue why they didnt remove the anoying need to press <ctrl> out of the program by default?
 
Due to my habit of overly comfortable posture when running long sessions...
I have tried both with and without the CRTL feature.

After a great deal of practice, I have to agree with the defalt method,
that is CRTL is activated. I do think it was the right method, and is now
the only method I use.

But... different folks, different strokes... so try both ways.
You to will decide on a favoite.

My question is why not give us the option to turn if off? Either in the options screen before trainz starts or in the options page in trainz?

Trainz prevents users from doing many a number of things - mostly for simplicities sake.

The game itself wont let you remap the keyboard - but you can do it under user preferences in the Trainz folder via explorer. The reason that the CTRL option is there by default is probably because:
A: Everyone quickly gets used to it.
B: Prevents you from actually right-clicking on things you dont want to right click on (When you hold down right click, it lets you move the camera. It would suck to move your camera over a building and all of a sudden you get a dozen screens appearing)
C: Nobody, aside from you, as far as I know has requested the change.

:)
 
I believe by making it a trainzoption file entry, it is used by those who have had more experience with the game.
