Number- / F1-F12 Keys not working correctly

Postby moRtem » Sat Jan 02, 2010 5:56 am

Since 1.1 it very often occurs, that SG doesn't notice that i pressed the numbers from 1 to 9 (and 0) on keyboard (the ones below the F-keys)

Very often means, that it basically almost always needs 5-10 tries until SG notices that anything was pressed.


Same occurs with the F-keys (F1 to F12), but there it occurs a lot less frequently.


In every other game and within windows itself those keys are working fine.

Actually, it happens to me in 1.0 too. Both numbers (binded to buy weapons) and F-keys (binded to change team action etc). For example: when i want to buy two weapons at start of the BR round I have to wait few seconds after buying the first one or switch weapon to make these bind-keys work. And if I want to change team I usually have to press it few times before it works.

Please read Submitting bug report and feature requests thread before reporting such problem. We are missing a lot of information if you really want we take time to understand your problem. I know moRtem you are using a different SDL.dll, did you try with other libraries ?

Thanks for pointing out - i remember to have read it when it was posted, but forgot about it in the meanwhile.

We are missing a lot of information if you really want we take time to understand your problem.


1) 1.1b3 on Windows Vista 32 Bit

2) see my first post

3) see my first post

4) won't help to understand the problem

I am using the "original" SDL.dll again which is delivered with your 1.1b3-package.

One stuff is missing. Can you provide your q3config.cfg or at least the lines starting with "bind", and at least for the keys related to your problem ? And eventually the bind commands you're passing for your own setup if they exist ?

@dowoshek: I need the same stuffs.

Does any one else has the same kind of problems ?

Here you are:

Code: Select all
bind 1 "say ^1Bye!"
bind 2 "say ^3Hi!"
bind 3 "say ^1|>> ^0S^1o^0rry"
bind 4 "say ^1|>> ^0N^1o^0P^1r^0oblem"
bind 5 "say ^1|>> ^0G^1ood^0L^1uck"
bind 6 "say ^3nice"


and

Code: Select all
bind F1 "vote yes"
bind F2 "vote no"
bind F4 "stoprecord"
bind F12 "screenshotjpeg"


And eventually the bind commands you're passing for your own setup if they exist ?


don't get what you mean by this.

Some servers have sv_floodprotect "1" when prevents you from speaking too often. Could this be why your chat binds don't work?

There is a timer on the buy items to prevent people from buying the same item twice by double clicking on the menu. Unfortunately, this makes buying weapons from binds a pain.
Aslo, you cannot switch teams for 10 or 5 seconds (cannot remember which). Could this be why your team binds don't work?

Good idea, but i can say for sure, that this isn't the case here.

It even needs various tries when i didn't "say" something for minutes.

WinXP SP3 with bindings like below:
Code: Select all
bind 1 "buy weapon_schofield"
bind 2 "buy weapon_peacemaker"
bind 3 "buy weapon_shotgun"
bind 4 "buy weapon_sawedoff"
bind 5 "buy item_boiler_plate"
bind 6 "buy ammo_bullets"
bind 7 "buy ammo_cartridges"

bind x "buy weapon_dynamite"
bind z "buy weapon_molotov"

bind F8 "team red"
bind F9 "team blue"

Binds for x and z are also affected.

So it's one of those "developer knows better what's good for you" features :lol: I can take that pain :wink:

I know about those time limits. But it happens also at the beginning of new map or simply when I want to change during match (balancing teams) - the first switch in at least few minutes. But, imho, this is really not a big problem at all... There are more annoying bugs for me, like during switching to akimbo mode in 1.1b3 (I described it some time ago).

Can you make a test from the console and report your console output ?

Firstly, set in_keyboardDebug to 1.
Secondly, close the console, then hit one time each keys from 1 to 9, than 0, than from F1 to F12.
Thirdly, try again from key '1', but this time, hit as quickly as you can 3 times each keys.

After that, you can set back in_keyboardDebug to 0 and report your console output.
Tell us if you think the engine missed a key.

Thanks.

[19:06] <moRtem> Tequila .. i just tested that in_keyboarddebug
[19:07] <moRtem> and every key-press gets recognized fine
[19:07] <moRtem> now i believe, that pardner's guess might be right -> floodprotect serverside
[19:08] <moRtem> but it wouldn't feel right for me, if all the "troubles" are caused by floodprotect
[19:08] <moRtem> is it possible, that there's a little bug in the floodprotect code ?
[19:09] <moRtem> like i said, even right after connecting i sometimes can't say "Hi" ... and it needs various tries until it works once
[19:09] <moRtem> "right after connecting" means a few seconds after i arrive on the server

Floodprotect ain't that strict, at least if the code has not been changed since the last time I've looked at it.
Described behavior sounds very much like packetloss.

Good point /dev/random
moRtem, did you set "cl_packetdup" to "0" ? If yes, try again setting it back to "1", its default.

that was my first thought too -- but i don't suffer packetloss on the servers i play

cl_packetdup is default for me (set to "1")
