Customizing Your Controls FAQ

Why can I not edit/change the icons in the top right corner alternatively the key mappings for, for instance, F1-F9 keys?
These icons/keys are by default configured to always be accessible, regardless of which Action Set is active. In order to edit these icons/keys:

Open the Options Panel (default key O) by clicking the 'Options' icon in the icon row in the top right corner and make sure that the option 'Enable Advanced Action Set Mode' is ticked.

Open the Edit Panel (default key L) by clicking the 'Edit Panel' icon in the icon row in the top right corner.

In the Action Set Panel (the little black UI in the top left corner), click on the white arrows until you see the Global Action Set asterix(*). The icons / key mappings should then become highlighted and editable.

If you want to configure F1-F9 or any other default keyboard settings in the Global Action Set(*) set, open the Keyboard Map (default key G). You edit the settings by either dragging an action icon, tool or weapon from your Inventory, Action Library, Keyboard Map or any of the other active icons on your desktop to your preferred location.

Why can I not zoom in and out anymore? I have a wireless mouse.
Entropia Universe is not optimized for wireless solutions. Try replacing the mouse to an ordinary wired mouse.

I'm having a problem switching between AIM and CURSOR modes (space bar does not work).
This difficulty arises from your choice of navigation. In third-person view, the space bar will not switch between aim and cursor modes. Please open the Options panel (default key O) and change your navigation to first-person view using the '1st person' button. Don't forget to press OK, or your settings changes won't be saved. Another tip is to use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out from first and third person views. View mouse help by pressing the default H key.
