createpath - no reaction on pressing num pad keys

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
ric

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

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?

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!
