createpath - no reaction on pressing num pad keys

[Rickster]

Hi,

when creating a wp a can not press any key on the numpad anymore. simply nothing happens, when pressing a key. but when clicking with the mouse mm states "mouseclick recorded".

when starting rom/bot to start wp files i can enter numbers using the numpad.

except some rom scripts i did not change anything.
i tried some backups of the whole mm and rom folder, to versions i am sure worked a few days ago.
i also did a svn revert.
but nothing helps.

any ideas what causes this behaviour?

thanx

Maybe you pressed the NUM lock key above the nubpad?

no, i checked that. entering numbers with the numpad works fine when choosing a wp in the wp menu of rombot or elsewhere in editors for exsample.

restarted my pc, this also does not help.

i am out of ideas

but when clicking with the mouse mm states "mouseclick recorded".

you mean like this?

Recorded [# 1] mouseclick 475,330 (799x600), Continue to next. Press Num 3 to save and quit

If you do then that is what should be printed when you press numpad 7, have you got a fancy mouse that does "stuff" ?

Yes, thats what MM prints out, when I click with the left mouse button.
But I have a standard three button wheel mouse, not programmed in any way.
Curious thing is, that numpad reacts normal everywhere else, also when choosing a WP I want to run from the list.
It only does not work when using rom/createpath.

open up createpath.lua and see if it hasn't been changed at all, it should look like this

Code: Select all

wpKey = key.VK_NUMPAD1;			-- insert a movement point
harvKey = key.VK_NUMPAD2;		-- insert a harvest point
saveKey = key.VK_NUMPAD3;		-- save the waypoints
merchantKey = key.VK_NUMPAD4;	-- target merchant, repair and buy stuff
targetNPCKey = key.VK_NUMPAD5;	-- target NPC and open dialog waypoint
choiceOptionKey = key.VK_NUMPAD6; 	-- insert choiceOption
mouseClickKey = key.VK_NUMPAD7; -- Save MouseClick
restartKey = key.VK_NUMPAD9;	-- restart waypoints script
resetKey = key.VK_NUMPAD8;	-- restart waypoints script and discard changes
codeKey = key.VK_NUMPAD0;		-- add comment to last WP.
targetObjKey = key.VK_DECIMAL;	-- target an object and action it.

The keys are hard coded into createpath so they shouldn't be affected by any settings in game or anything, which is why I thought it might be an issue with a special mouse that was doing the numpad keypresses.

It is the same here.

I now downloaded a fresh version of MM, integrated a new rombot svn directory, no own scripts or changes ... still the same :-/

So it seems its not MM or rombot. There must be something else with my mashine, but no idea what I can try

Thanx so far for your ideas,
Ric

Do you have any special keyboard software for modifying the key functions based on active application, do you?

[Rickster]

no, just a standard keyboard, no special software for it. but ...

... after telling my pc I will never ever talk to him again when he does not allow me to work with him as i was used to ... its working again! must be some kind of soul in it!

hehe, I realy do not know why, but I am able to use the numpad again, to create waypoints.

Again thanx for your help!
