[2.07] Keypad no longer sending directions?
 
I just installed the beta (clean, on a just formatted computer), made a package, went in, and the keypad wasn't sending commands for directions.

Bug, or just me?

Just you. You have to include the keypad and directions packages in your session.

A little bit of both, I think. I decided to check out Aardwolf and discovered two things about the Aardwolf session I created.

First, the Package List did not show the EnglishDirections and EnglishKeypad packages. This is your problem, so to fix it edit your problematic session's package list to include those two packages.

Second, a further issue presents itself in the form of a 0 in the session's package list (Edit Session, then click on the Files tab). To me, it seemed that this only occurred on what was considered the first-created session as those subsequently created sessions with the first problem never have this one. This zero is selectable in the package list, but it's completely unable to be deleted. Trying to delete it will simply delete another package in the list (if I remember, it was always the previous one). Only way to get rid of it that I know of is to delete the session and start over.

Confirmed and added to bug list. Seems the default package list isn't being added to new sessions for some reason.

Ah, this might explain the fact that a few people have experienced this over several versions.

Actually no, this is a new bug. The issue of getting a 0 in the package list is related to the Preferences bug that was introduced in v2.07. Problems in past versions had to do with issues with the new string list hash table. Also, some sessions loaded in these older betas might have gotten messed up by that bug. So it's all from different causes.
