LAPTOP Users ** Keypad issues fixed in next release **

[jpkoester1]

Why not get rid of that keypad and just use the normal keyboard? Or give us an option to select if we want to use the keypad or not, just a thought... [;)]

Unfortunately the existing keybinding code in Harpoon 3 seems to be rather whacked. Having completely customizable keybindings in high on our wishlist but in order to have that the code will have to be completely rewritten so it will have to wait for the GUI replacement.

Cheers,

I just downloaded and installed the 3.7.1 beta patch for H3:ANW and tested the num keys on my IBM T40 Laptop. Unfortunately, I have found that the beta patch has not corrected the problem with the Num keys not being recognized.

The only keys that will function are:
/ - Toggle paths
* - Toggle datablocks
+ - Increase time
- - Decrease time

I have attached a copy of the Keyboardlog.txt file for you to review. It shows the results for each numpad key with both the NumLock on and off. Hope this helps.

Just to repeat, I have Harpoon3 version 3.6.3 installed on the same laptop and all Numkeys function normally for that version.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to the devs and ask if they had any thoughts on whether the numpad problems described in this thread can be corrected. Not being able to group/ungroup formations can present some real challenges...

If it isn't feasible to correct the numpad problem, would it be possible to add some of the critical commands to the drop-down menus?

Thanks,
Mike

I know that they are working on it. They might add dual hotkeys and other bonus items. I have no more information than that at this time.

JRyan,

Great News! [:D]

I'm happy to simply hear that they are continuing to work on the issue and that a solution hasn't been written off... I look forward to see what those smart people at AGSI can come up with [&o]

I just received word that some keys (numlock mappings) have been added that should fix the issues that some laptop owners are having.. I have not had a chance yet to try it, its Beta, but from the sound of the fix, it will work fine. I am not sure when the public release will come, but its definitely on the radar...

That is good news JRyan. Thanx for the heads up! [&o]

Ok I tried out the 'fix' over the weekend and it works. So some of the laptop users who were having issues will not have this issue anymore. In brief, they will now work no matter if the NUMLOCK is on or off. It was a mapping issue. We need to test and see it the fix caused any other unknown issues, but so far I am very pleased. It makes a heck of a difference with my style of play anyway. Stay tuned.[:D]

That is even better news [&o][&o]
