WHY WON'T ALT-X WORK FOR ME???!!!

Post by lynx204 » Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:44 pm

Hey everyone, I've just learnt about alt-x some weeks ago and've tried it but it just won't work!!! :shock:

Is there something I'm doing wrong?? I've tried with the number pad but nothing happens, just that the screen kinda freezes and I can't do anything. :?

I've got a Windows Vista and everything is fine - just the alt-x!! :evil:

Pweez help...

Well, it's a while since I posted this, and cos no one is replying I guess you all don't know what to do either... I'll leave this for a week and if there are still no replies, I'll PM Patrick.

You also need to press a numerical key on the right side of keyboard, so it's more like Alt+X+9 or Alt+X+3.

I'm sorry, no idea either what causes the problem. With me it always works fine, even no matter if the "num lock" is on or off. With Windows XP though.

If you are using a lap top computer, then Alt-X won't work. I read somewhere that you need to do something different to get it to work.

If you use a laptop you need to hold the funtion key and use:

i o p
j k l
bnm

In place of:

789
456
123

(I did this from memory so it might not be 100% acurate :wink:)

Isn't that only on a laptop without a numeric keypad?

It doesn't work. Nothing happens. Even when I try on a computer, Alt+X doesn't do anything, but the game runs a bit slower. Do you think Patrick would know what to do?

Do you mean you tried on different computers, and it works on none of them? :shock:

Also does it work with none of the 3 classic games? (Original Wonderland, WSW, and RTW)

Seems like a complete riddle to me. Anyhow, if there's anyone on Earth who knows, it's probably Patrick. You can always PM him about it.

I have tried with WSW and RTW (I don't have the first Wonderland game) and on my laptop, a school computer, the family computer and my friend's computer.

It's really annoying. But thanks, I will PM Patrick.

Do you continue to hold down the alt and x keys while pressing the keys on the number pad?

Try to press Num Lock. If it's currently off, try to turn it on. If it's currently on, try and turn it off instead.

Then try again and see the results.

*Takes a big breath,*


IT WORKS!! YAY!! MUZOZAVR, YOU ARE A HERO!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Now, how do I work it?

Is the screen supposed to get back to normal after I release the keys? Because the screen won't go back to normal! :?

It isn't really supposed to go back to "normal" as with the Shift key. It's a total free camera view, so if you've got it in an different position, then get it back to normal manually.

Great! Actually I even mentioned the "num lock" key, but it didn't seem important to me though.

No, the view is not supposed to go back to normal. You should do that manually, but I use to restart the level most of times. [Edit] But I see Muzo just told that.

How it works is described here: http://pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... ltx+laptop and for a laptop here: http://pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... ltx+laptop

*sigh* A lot of times it seems that the only answer to a problem is staring us right in the face. :roll:
It's things like this that make us want to play Kiki's levels to see if we can complete them without the same thing happening to us! :lol:

Alt-X lives on

Post by VirtLands » Fri May 24, 2013 7:47 pm

Hi guys, I almost forgot about this ALT-X option.

Having recently tried it, I discovered that it won't work in that simplistic way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For my laptop, I attached a good USB keybored, ...

and the camera options do work with

CTRL-ALT-X + ... + any selection of Pg-Up, Pg Dn, Home, Delete


[ You've got to remember to put the "Ctrl--" in there. ]
