Newb dumb question

Post by Edr111 »

I am, sadly, completely technophobic. Useless. I had a video chat with a friend to talk me through installing BOTF on my Mac. It’s now all running fine.

However, for the life of me I can’t figure out how to do the old right click action that gives me quick access to science or diplomacy etc.

Any basic guidance would be appreciated. Forgive me if this is either a post in the wrong place, or if this has been answered elsewhere and my search couldn’t find the answer.

Thanks in advance.

If you friend has time other would like to know how he was able to setup Birth of the federation on Mac.

he can post a new topic here for others to follow.

I don't know how to fix your right click issue, but you should be able to use the keyboard shortcuts.

F1 main map
F2 build screen
F3 Intel screen
F4 research screen
F5 diplomacy screen

when on main map Esc button will take you to game setup screen.

Thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for.

Truth is I followed the instructions from this website. He just talked me through them.
