First off I am a total noob to the JA2UB scene so excuse any obvious blunders on my part. I have just finished downloading a Mac OSX version of JA2UB and I am dying to get down to the nitty gritty but I have run into a problem. Being that I am playing on a mac and can not right click I am stuck using shortcuts which works fine on everything except one crucial aspect of the game and that is adding ap to shots fired by right clicking. I have found all the shortcuts to every other crucial action except this one and it is killing me now that I have the option to play after many a many a hours trying to find a mac version. I have tried ctrl clicking as well as fn, shift, alt and apple keys so if anyone can help I would forever be in your debt. Thanks

buy or borrow a usb-mouse from logitech - it mostly works when you install the software (without it the right mouse button is not suported), at least it does with other programs

Thanks I am playing through it now anyway because I cant wait even though most of my shots are missing at this point. Is there a shortcut normally for adding ap to shots fired that I am missing maybe?

Thanks a lot guys for the quick response.......I however got the bug and just ran out to get a mouse. So not a lot of mac players on here huh? I guess you can't use any of the mods on a mac probably?

I wonder if I could use the UB mods on my mac version of UB? What do you all think? Is there a way I can use the mod through bootcamp to alter a program that I use outside of bootcamp?

I actually have yet to try it I just assumed the mod would not work since the JAUB I have and play is a version that I torrented from some individuals was translated into a mac version. So I do not use bootcamp as of right now to play the game. I hope that makes sense, I am not very puter literate.
