Controls

Dungeon Master (PC 3.4-compatible)

Original interface keys:

  • 1 to 4: open the corresponding champion inventory.
  • Ctrl+S: open the original save-game route.
  • Escape: freeze or unfreeze the game.

Movement:

  • Up / Down: forward / backward.
  • Left / Right: strafe left / right.
  • Home / End, Q / E, or keypad 4 / 6: turn left / right.
  • Keypad 5, 2, 1, 3: forward, backward, strafe left, strafe right.
  • WASD: the same movement as the arrow keys.

Firestaff additions:

  • Shift+1 to Shift+6: spell runes. This avoids conflicting with the original 1 to 4 champion controls.
  • F5 / F9: quick save / quick load.
  • F10: live graphics scale control. It intentionally remains assigned to graphics rather than an original game command.
  • F11: toggle fullscreen. F12: screenshot.

Chaos Strikes Back (PC-compatible)

  • F1 to F4: open the corresponding champion inventory.
  • Ctrl+S: open the CSB disk/save menu.
  • Escape: freeze or unfreeze the game.
  • Return: accept or wake the party while resting.
  • Insert / Home: turn left / right.
  • Up / Down: forward / backward.
  • Left / Right: strafe left / right.
  • WASD, Q / E, and Home / End are Firestaff movement aliases.

Game menus and startup screens can also use keyboard selection where supported.

Mouse and Touch

Firestaff maps mouse and touch input to the game viewport, menus, inventory, and startup screens where the active game supports those interactions.

Controller

Controller support is active work. Current builds may rely on Steam Input, desktop controller mapping, or keyboard emulation depending on platform.

For Steam Deck, use Steam Input to map the Deck controls to keyboard commands until Firestaff's in-app controller mapping panel is complete.
