I remade my keypad macros as such:

#KEY KEY4 {#IF (@movement=sailing) {sail west} {west}}

Along with all the other cardinal exits.

Worked fine, until i rebooted.

Then my new macros no longer overruled the English Keypad package variants.

And as if one unexpected result around this wasn't enough....

Once i realized this was the issue i went in to remove the English Keypad Package from the session.

Instead of removing the highlighted selection 'English Keypad' in the package list, it would remove the top Package listed, which for me was 'English Directions'.

I realized this after canceling changes several times, then verified by testing with the package list of another session.

I had to remove both, and then go back in and re-add English Directions.

Confirmed and added to bug list. You shouldn't need to remove the English Keypad from the package. You should just be able to re-order them so that your own custom keypad package is added *after* the English Keypad, or you can just go into the Settings Editor and click on your Window object and in the list of enabled packages, uncheck the English Keypad package so that it is not used by that window.

Technically the macros were part of my main package settings, if that makes a difference.

If the macros are within your session window settings, then they will always override the English Keypad package. Perhaps you put them into a Module that wasn't marked as Global or just had then within a different window?

No, they were in a class of my main settings, but still in the main session settings.
Thats why I posted in the first place cause i know they should have overridden them.

I only have one separate module and thats for my color scripts.
None of my windows need separate settings anymore.

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this then. I have some keypad macros in my main settings and they always override the English Keypad macros. I even tried putting them into a class and they still worked. Can anyone post a step-by-step procedure for reproducing this problem?
