In the settings you can assign the buttons that suit you best.

I have assigned the right button to move forward and having a 5-button mouse, I use the side buttons to frob and use, the wheel can also be pressed, not only roll, with this you can also have some function, so I can do most of it with just the mouse, using the keyboard only occasionally.

Wow, this took me such a long time to figure out. Wiki and training mission are not helpful at all in this regard.

The use key is in the menu Settings described as the inventory use key. Defaulted at ENTER, not U (although maybe I have set this myself in a previous installation, not sure). How could I ever figure out what the key is for dragging bodies and putting out candles? I wouldn't think these are related to inventory. I would rather think this is an action button. In the Actions settings there is the key setting for frob/interact which I had set to U, doesn't work off course.

I would recommend to move the use key setting to the Actions setting category and rename it, so it better describes what it does (not only inventory activation) and you can find it easier.

Well, I am glad at least I got it working at last. I first thought it was maybe a bug in my Linux version of TDM.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
