Keyboard problems

[iluvseq]

Installed macroquest, works fine with two characters running under eqwindows.

Tried to run follow.mac on one character to follow the other.

The macro works, that character starts following.

However, my keyboard stops working.

I can still move the mouse, but cannot use the keyboard at all. Can't ctrl-alt-S to switch to the other character, can't type eq commands, can't do any keyboard commands at all.

Any ideas?

Actually, I think I've figured it out, but I'm not certain.

Here is "follow.mac" from the .zip file:

Code: Select all

#turbo
Sub Main
   :Loop
      /if n $target(distance)>60 /sendkey down up
      /if n $target(distance)<40 /sendkey up up
      /face fast
      /delay 0
   /if "$target()"=="TRUE" /goto :Loop

/return

Now, #turbo keeps it from running more than 500 commands per iteration, but I'm thinking it's not helping.

It seems that as long as the distance to the target is > 60, this macro will keep the "up" key pressed. I believe this will over-ride any actuall keypresses?

It will only release the up key if the target is < 40.

If I am correct, that "/sendkey key down" blocks all user keyboard commands, this macro should be re-written, because it is possible for /target to be permanently out of range yet still in the zone (say, if the character is stuck on a wall)

When this happens, the user cannot regain control of the character.

Maybe instead of perma-holding the movement key, the macro should turn autorun on/off since that doesn't involve keeping a key pressed... ?

Not sure, I'm no newb to EQ structures or programing, but I am new to Macroquest macro writing (for the last year or so, I've simply lurked here as a resource for EQ structure information)

Any thoughts?

Prior to today's patch of MQ2, follow.mac worked just fine. Now, I have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it, or just stop using follow.mac?

In my case, the keyboard was so locked out that I had to hardboot the computer via Ye Olde Reset Button. Oddly enough, TS still worked when I hit the key I have mapped to the speak command, so I would guess that it is only EQ that is not interpretting keyboard commands.

Anyone have an idea?

Try the newest .zip

Try using /keypress instead of /sendkey, thats what its there for

[daerck]

For those of you that don't get it:

Code: Select all

#turbo 
Sub Main 
   :Loop 
      /if n $target(distance)>60 /keypress forward hold
      /if n $target(distance)<40 /keypress forward
      /face fast 
      /delay 0 
   /if "$target()"=="TRUE" /goto :Loop 

/return

Hmm, changed the code, as specified, and instead of locking my computer out, it just crashes EQ. I'd love to use the proper method for reporting a bug, but I don't get error text or anything for this.

As an aside, I am using the latest version, compiled in the manner specified, and it worked beautifully prior to this most recent patch.

Guess I'll try recompiling it...

EDIT: /keypress seems to be what is crashing me. I can type an unadorned "/sendkey down up" and run forward no problems. When I enter "/keypress down up" or anything involving /keypress, I immediately crash to desktop. I realize this is insuffificent info for a proper debugging. I'm sorry. I will attempt attaching a debugger to it again.

EDIT, Part Duex: Attached a debugger to EQ. Got the following, but no green arrow or error tag that .NET found.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

"down" is not a valid /keypress. see the /keypress list
http://macroquest2.com/includes/manual.php#keypress

This bug should be fixed next zip.

Lol, thanks lax I came looking for another problem and found out what I was doing on a couple.

[homburg]

Cool, thanks Lax!

I realized that my mouse was working fine and functioned normally. So I just made a hotkey for /endmacro. That has proven to be good enough to fix the issue for now as keyboard functionality returns once the macro has ended.

Interesting, but dumb, a friend and I were whacking skellie commanders for the heck of it last night. He gets feared, and decides to use follow.mac to see what happens. Well, while the fear kills any control over directional keys, it does not stop the /face command. So instead of fleeing the mob, he keeps runnings towards it again and again spastically due to the looped /face commands. And his keyboard locks up same as mine does. And he has no handy /endmacro key. I about died laughing at it over Teamspeak before killing the mob. Luckily no one was around to see it. Fairly obvious what was occurring.

Still, nice to know that /face has another usage =)
