Application error with globalbind

Post by Blazer » Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:04 am

Running Everquest 2..
Ok i set up a global bind on my 2nd session, i.e

GlobalBind Test ctrl+1 "press 1"

when i press ctrl+1 on my 1st session, i get an application error.
The instruction at blah blah referenced memory at blah blah. The memory could not be "read"
and consequently my 2nd session closes

Hmm am I doing something wrong? do i need to set something up prior.
What is strange tho, if i had the consol up on the 2nd session, the number 1 gets sent to the console and doesnt crash:)

Nope you're not doing anything wrong, it shouldn't crash from anything so simple ;)

It looks like EQ2 is set up to not accept keyboard input from background sessions. I'll have to make some changes, but I'll have a solution for you by tomorrow

Globalbind

Hrmm, well I am at work atm so cant test it out, but i tried yesterday, and it was not working. Even though it did not crash anymore, the bound key would do nothing. If you had the session with which you bound the key via the console in the forground, it would not do anything either.
I thought this was broken, because of the problems with win32i.

Well, I tested it myself and it worked ;) I did an update today (IS 0.83) which also fixes some problems in both Win32I and in global binds, so let me know after you give it a shot with 0.83

Still doesnt work for me:(
It just doesnt trigger the key in the other window.
Tried to play with it a bit more, so maybe you can tell me why its not working. I did a Globalbind Test 1 "press 7" on my session #3
If i tried pressing the '1' key on session #2 , it does absolutely nothing, on either sessions. If i pressed '1' key on session #3, then it actually presses the 7 instead.
What am i doing wrong?:(

Well, nothing particularly. EQ2 itself is programmed to ignore any keys if it's not foreground (which is kind of dumb since it wont get non-emulated keys unless it is foreground). You can get around this in IS 0.83 -- in the "Games and Profiles" window, under EverQuest II, Window System, set "Lock Foreground" to ON. Apply changes, and restart EQ2 (or launch it the first time). It should work then :)

Thanks it works now... BUT.....
The ctrl, shift and alt keys now seem to get stuck. So I have to press them a few times to release that 'pressed' state. Real wierd, and annoying.

Actually its not even from the press command. I havnt done enough tests. It seems it happened because of the locked foreground.
When im switching between sessions, ill just notice the ctrl, alt and shift keys were held down, without me doing anything. This happens without using the globalbound keys i set. It happens all the time.

Did some more tests today. Its definately 'Locked Foreground' set to ON, thats causing this problem. If you switch between 2 sessions, then start trying to switch hotkeys with shift/ctrl keys, they are randomly becoming pressed. Well Ill leave it upto you Lax to figure out why:)

They shouldnt stick anymore.

I'm slaving away at this trying to get certain things to work with EQ2's input system. For example, correctly binding "alt+1" when you press "ctrl+1". It may work for hotkeys in the game, but it wont correctly work in the chatbox (if you press alt+1 or ctrl+1 in the chatbox manually, it will put a "1". If you press ctrl+alt+1, it puts nothing).

Anyway, for the most part you should be able to use it fine now. Let me know
