Hi!
Im having a weird problem. I think it has to do with my upgrade of Zmud from 7.05 to 7.21.
This upgrade was forced upon me cause of the license issues.
Problem:
I have a macro that binds directions to the arrow keys of my keyboard (not keypad arrows).
I use it when i walk alot, on traderuns and such.
Looks like this:
#KEY LEFT {w}
#KEY DOWN {s}
#KEY RIGHT {e}
#KEY UP {n}
I also have a button to disable and enable this and it looks like this:
#BUTTON 8 {!TR} {#T+ DOWN;#T+ UP;#T+ LEFT;#T+ RIGHT} {TR} {#T- DOWN;#T- UP;#T- LEFT;#T- RIGHT} {} {1} {} {Size} {30} {20}
{} {} {} {} {} {} {} "" {} {} {}
In Zmud 7.05 everything worked fine.
But when i upgraded to 7.21 some keys stopped working for me. They are: Down arrow, home, end : Keypad keys: ÷, +, 2 (also down arrow) and ,
The strange thing is: They dont work at all, not even outside Zmud (in Windows itself), not in any program, even after i closed Zmud.
I tryed everything, disable, enable, having Zmud running, close it, uninstall keyboard drivers, press F7 in browsers and many other things.
I ran out of ideas of how to solve this weird problem.
Has it to do with the macros? Do you have to set the arrow keys to their default settings in some way instead of only disable the macro like i do?
I read everything i can find in Zmud help files about this but has found nothing about default settings.
How can a macro in Zmud override Windows settings like this?
After some days, sometimes weeks, the keys start working again. I havent been able to find out why they do.
I can use macro fine for some time, all works, then keys suddenly stop working again.

I know u dont support Zmud anymore, but just had to ask you if you had any experience of a problem like this from the past.

I would very much appreciate some help in this matter even tho Zmud is no longer supported.

Note: I run Windows XP, SP3, on a P4 3,2Mhz processor with 3GB ram

Many thanks

ZMud doesn't mess with anything low-level like keyboard mapping. If your keys broke, zmud wasn't the cause. Try restarting your computer.

Hi!
Well if it was that simple i wouldn't have to post this note from the first place.
Like i said in my post, i tryed everything, and i never had any problem whatsoever before installing and using Zmud 7.21.
Isnt that a bit odd? The only thing i can think of is keyboard getting old, its from 2004, but been working flawless since.
Strange thing is, like i said in post, keys work from time to time, as long as i dont use Zmud and enable that macro.
It must be the macro who cause the problem. But i wont take up your time with this problem, i know u dont support Zmud anymore.
I just wanted to know if anyone had heard of a problem like this from the past and had any experience of it, guess they didnt't.
Thanx for your time.

I didn't post in this thread before because I don't use remap keys but yet on a couple of occations I have lost numpad directions. I've got no explanations for it though.

Usually it happened when something breaks in my triggers when i turn off the mud's HUD. It's only happend 2 or 3 times. Restarting Zmud fixes it though.

So in your circumstances, no I'm afraid I have no idea. :(
