Strange limitation or bug?

[Rattenmann]

I use the following Key for questing:

Code:

<Target Slot {SLOT}> -> all other
<Assist Target> -> all other
Video FX: 'somename' -> all
H -> all

This KeyMap is actually working, assisting the active Toon and hailing his target to start a coversation with any NPC. Also a Video FX gets loaded so i can see all conversations on one Screen.

Now if i want to add a mouserepeater to this KeyMap it gets funky. Want to add the following line:

Code:

Repeater mouse On -> self

Goal: being able to save time and not click every Dialog on my own.
Problem: If i put the repeater on the last line it does not start, at all. Just like it wasn't there.

Things i tried:
putting repeaterline ahead: the "H -> all" line gets ignored then, the repeater works tho
putting repeaterline in Step 2 and trigger it by pressing the KeyMap twice: Same result, just like it wasn't there.
deleting the "H-> all" line: repeater starting just fine
deleting the repeater: the H gets send just fine
putting either of the two in differend KeyMaps: working as it should,... but needing two keystrokes of differend keys.

This is of corse not THAT big of an issue, but quite annoying, because i keep thinking i must be missing something obvious. Why would these two lines hate each other and insist on not being in a keymap together?

I reproduced the Mapped Key you described (as close as I could given I'm not sure exactly what you are doing with Video FX). I did not get the behaviour you described. Mine works as you intend yours to work, i.e. targets, assists, hails, shows a bunch of Video FX viewers and turns on mouse repeat.

At this point I'd share your configuration for troubleshooting purposes.

Sorry for replying so late, got the flu and did not manage to get up and turn on the PC over the last days

Here is my current profile: click me

I got quite alot of teams running and the file is pretty large i guess. I removed the Mouserepeater due to it not working for me. Reentered it for one (Duo-)team, so you can check it out tho. You can find it on the Keymap: "Special Disci - Bard", the Key is then named "Dialog Open - Close". The usecase for the Video FX is simple to show the Questdialogs of my other toon in the duo. Since i am playing both toons activly sometimes i got it set to show on both, as i never know in advance which toon will be active when i turn in a quest or go get a quest (love this variable keystroke stuff, really).

If it works for you that is great news. Then i might just still be missing something that interfers with my desired result. I just can not seem to find it tho

edit: updated the profile, forgot to actually add the "problem" back in before copying to privatepaste... done now.

I'm not sure why it works for me but not for you. Things that you have set up differently to me are:

1) I don't load a Video FX set, instead I just show some Video FX viewers that already exist. Those viewers get set up when the Character Set is loaded.
2) I use unmodified H for hail, not Ctrl+Alt+H.
3) I didn't include a Repeater Target action in that Mapped Key. I just relied on it using the same Repeater Target that already exists.

All I can suggest at this point is changing some of those things.

regarding
1) So you activate your Video FX on startup and let it run the whole time? Only hidden? I was under the impression that was bad for performance, so i load and destroy the Video FX as needed.
2) I actually had H as my hail before, switched it because of funky behavior while chatting (other toons then hail whenever i write a word with h and the h send via mapped key is slightly slower then me typing, So id get words like "tihs" instead of "this")
3) I did not have that repeater Target before, copy pasted from the default "Activate Mouse Repeater" and forgot to delete that line. Did not change anything anyways in this case

Will try to alter all 3 points to match your approach tho to make sure.

Thanks!

I'll take #2...

2) I actually had H as my hail before, switched it because of funky behavior while chatting (other toons then hail whenever i write a word with h and the h send via mapped key is slightly slower then me typing, So id get words like "tihs" instead of "this")

Most people disable their Key Maps (SHIFT + ALT + M) when they want to talk to someone but... If you change your Mapped Keys to execute on 'pressed" rather than "released" then this would fix your H key typing "slow"; but if you had turned off Key Maps before typing to begin with, then you would not have experienced the slower typing behavior.

Good point. Guess i just want to hit as few keys as possible, and turning off keymaps is a keypress!
