Razor Spells - RunUO

Rallos · 10-27-2006, 12:39 AM

I dont know how it happens or what might have caused this. Sometimes i get my whole keyboard's macro or shortcut with the same spell/skill. That means to say no matter which button i hit it will do the same spell/skill.

Example: If Alt F is lightning. any other keys on my keyboard would be lightning as well.

The only way to get rid of this bug is to hit Alt F again then it would be working fine.

I think this problem only comes when i hold down the macro for too long. But i am not sure.

For questions pls mail me or PM me.

This sounds like a problem with your keyboard getting confused and thinking the keys are still stuck down.

If you can provide more information on how to reproduce it we mught have something here, but this initial report doesnt really tell me how I can reproduce it. and I can't fix it if I can't make it happen to me.

Cos i am currently trying to reproduce it. But it happens intermittently, i dun think there's something wrong with my keyboard. It happens to another razor if i am playing on another computer. This never happen before in the previous version of razor. It only happens when i download the upgraded ones. Also i did not patch nor reinstalled my OS. I only upgraded my razor to the latest version.

Here's what i think may have caused it. If sometimes for example : I cast lightning, then i throw pots or open door at the same time. I will get this error. Meaning every macro and key on my keyboard will cast lightning irregardless of which button i push.

Need more info: Please drop me a PM. Cos there are lots of threads.

This time it happens while i was casting spells and throwing explosion pots.

I know how to reproduce this, but I'm not exactly sure how you are managing to do it.

To reproduce:

1: Set numpad key 7 to use a skill.

2: Hold down key 7 and turn num lock off at the same time.

If you did it correctly, every key on your keyboard will now attempt to use the skill you set Key 7 to use.

Hope that helps.

This happens to me and also happens to a friend of mine... Mine gets messed up with Clear Target Queue (numpad 3). To fix this I hold down numpad 3 and Delete for a second and it starts working correctly again. Delete is my attack last macro.

This is partially a hardware problem...

If you let go of Numlock while you have a number key down then the "key up" message never gets sent. I don't see any way around this. How do I know you stopped pushing the button if I'm never told.

But that is a rare case. Other reports of this sound like hardware problems.

Actually... upon further investigation... This cannot be explained by anything other than a hardware problem as far as I can tell.
