Keyboard issues

Post by EvilGrins »

My keybindings weren't working correctly, with that whole switching from behindview 0 & 1 and I wasn't sure what was up: I've got them on F7 & F8... but then i noticed that none of the screenshots I've taken over the past couple days actually worked either. Nothing's wrong on the UT side of things so apparently the issue is my keyboard.

I've unplugged & replugged my keyboard a couple times but that didn't fix it. I don't know what F8 & F9 do outside of UT so I'm not sure how to test this or figure out what the issue is.

While I suspect some might be thrilled with me not being able to take screenshots, I'd still like suggestions on how to fix this.

Or at least tell me what F8 & F9 do outside of UT so I can figure out how to reconfigure them. Seems to be just those two keys, as F7 & F10 still work.

Try this:

Code: Select all

unit FormMainUnit;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
  StdCtrls;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Label1: TLabel;
    Label2: TLabel;
    Edit1: TEdit;
    procedure FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;  Shift: TShiftState);
begin
  Edit1.Text:=IntToStr(key);
end;

end.
Its just showing the key code of a pressed key.

The KeyPressTest shows the keys are all working, it's just something is preventing them from working in UT.

As to that code you got up there? I'm a player, not a coder. That's all Greek to me... in that I don't understand Greek.

I had something similar happen a stretch back, where something outside the User.ini caused a keybind conflict. Something else in UT using the same keybind setup for something else... though in this instance I can't imagine what as I hadn't added anything new prior to this happening.

Argh!

Seems like you programmed those keys within windows or with a app.
It is always annoying to reconfigure those keys.
A while back i did had olmost same problem using key's.
What happend mine keyboard was configured in the wrong geographical area.
Is your driver the good one for your keyboard?

Weird thing is I've got 2 versions of ut99 on my system:
· the original once I've had since it came out.
· and the Unreal Anthology installed ut99, which I got around 2009.

I primarily play the UA one, but my original ut99 download isn't having these keybinding issues... so the question remains, what's causing this problem under UA.
