ALT-<Every Key> gets pressed when I move or switch win

jblow · Post by **jblow** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 1:20 am

Quite often in EQ when I move or switch from one window to another, The screen will go black then take me back to the character select screen. When I log in, it looks like ALT plus every key got pressed as all my menus are all over the screen and my HUD is gone. I basically have to hold down ALT then press every key one by one to get things back to normal. I'm sure I'm getting dropped back to the login screen due to ALT-X getting sent when this happens rather than a crash. Anyone have any idea why this happens?

It has something to do with MQ2, but we havent found out what exactly

Same thing here. Should we discuss which plugins and such we're all running on MQ forums then to help track the bug down?

Thats not the cause. It happens even when using WinEQ for EQ2

Possibly somehting in the code lax has been adding to fix sticky keys?

Nah, I have a guess and it may be fixed in the next version

This is happening to me as well with WinEQ 2.0 in EQ.

This problem is still occuring, Lax. Is it still being looked into atm or was it supposedly fixed in this latest release?

I hadnt gotten any more feedback on it, so I assumed it was fixed. I'll see what I can do

I get something like this everytime I 2 box in EQ1 using wineq2.05
Often keys seem to get stuck and i can see an "AC" like for Alt and Ctrl up near my mem usage. if i hit my alt and control keys again it goes away. But if not I end up switch toons or opeing up some setting save option or even opening 1-5 new windows of EQ. This is very annoying to the point I want to cry! I am running winxp pro and have switched some hotkeys in eq but nothing really special that i think would effect this.

Any feed back would be great!

What you're experiencing is completely different from the problem they are having with MQ2... but sometimes the Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win keys can get "stuck" when switching sessions. If you can figure out specifically when that happens, then it can probably get fixed. Right now, it should automatically release them when you switch to a session (the other window will still show them being held down until you switch back to it)

This happens to me a TON, but I use MQ2 and quite a few macros with /nomodkeys as well as plugins that do something like:

Code: Select all

// nomodkeys
bool KeyboardFlags&#91;4&#93;;
*&#40;DWORD*&#41;&KeyboardFlags=*&#40;DWORD*&#41;&&#40;&#40;PCXWNDMGR&#41;pWndMgr&#41;->KeyboardFlags;
*&#40;DWORD*&#41;&&#40;&#40;PCXWNDMGR&#41;pWndMgr&#41;->KeyboardFlags=0;	
SendWndClick&#40;foo,bar,baz&#41;;
*&#40;DWORD*&#41;&&#40;&#40;PCXWNDMGR&#41;pWndMgr&#41;->KeyboardFlags=*&#40;DWORD*&#41;&KeyboardFlags;

Due to my setup there's a very high chance of these type of events going off at any given time. Could this be adding to the problem? Is there a better way than the code above to implement "/nomodkeys /notify xyz"?

No, that's the best way to do that.
