All you have to do is go into your macros and add a new set of macro functions for the decimal and 0 through 9 keys (hit them on the numpad with the numlock on).

I was also frustrated about this for a while, but then I finally figured that out. You won't have to do the divide,multiply, etc keys because those are no different when numlock is on/off.

It sounds great, but I think it could use a little more cow bell.

Ya welcome! I'm also loving macros right now..if ya have any questions on them too, shoot me an e-mail. I've got alchemy down to hotkeys, so it's so much easier now ::grins::

<<Stormfront is the only program I have ever run on any computer I have ever owned or operated (dating back to the Apple ][) that changes the numlock setting without input from the user. We shouldn't have to do workarounds for what is obviously a bug, and quite an annoying one at that.>>

StormFront turns your numlock off/on?

I start StormFront with the numlock on. After StormFront is running numlock is still on. I press the keys and get numbers.
I start StormFront with the numlock off. After StormFront is running numlock is still off. I press the keys and I move to different rooms.

Seems to be working correctly to me?

>I was IMing with him after that...

Ooo, you little tattletale! ;)

I can assure you both, as I did Brady in the aforementioned IM's, that it is not an effect of XP, since I log off on average about once every six weeks and I do not use any accessibility features, remote or local. I keep my computer searching for alien civilizations 24/7 ;) I also am very strict about what processes I let run on my computer.

The only time I notice my numlock on an unexpected setting is when I run SF and hit the direction keys. Perhaps I was hasty in laying the blame on SF, since I have not specifically noticed the exact moment the setting changes from what I expect. So yes it's possible I am mistaken that the buggy numlock behavior I am experiencing is caused by SF. But it most definitely ain*'*t caused by XP. I'm going to watch it like a hawk from now on and see if I can nail down the exact moment it gets wonky.

Hey folks,

I was just wondering where the script database is kept in stormfront. I can edit via the feature in game, but when i want to bring a script up and edit in my editting program i can't find where they are stored. I really like the feature in the wizard where it has a seperate folder for scripts. i tried creating a folder and putting all the scripts in it but that does not seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nuich

Thanks for the reply Kyn. I was afraid that was the file i was looking at. Guess I will do it the hard way and write the script in my editor and then create in the game.

Thanks again

Nuich

>Write it in Notepad and then paste into Stormfront. Much less painful.

That's what I do, too. It's the least painful option, but still something of a pain nonetheless.

I write mine in editpade lite and then save them as a .cmd file and import them into stormfront, works pretty good for me, less hassle.

Are you using any plugins that watch StormFront? When I first ran Strata (a plugin), my stormfront experienced the same problem.

But you don't have any hair! Where are you going to put it? Don't answer that!

Make sure that all your settings are set to local, not server...that is probably your problem. Disable strata until you verify this setting and then you can re-enable Strata and it should work.

The XML data feed received from the server at log on kills Strata, and therefore your connection to the game. If everything is set to local, this won't happen.

For reference to how to change this, go to options -> settings -> location and make sure everything is set to local.

A thread in another board reminded me that I had not repeated my Stormfront issues and bugs post in 6 months. So, therefore and herewith, is an update.

No weather/compass window - Solomon says no GM was working on this. Does that mean you need an on-site GM (in which case it just won't happen) or is it something that can be done by an off-site coding ninja?

Room window - Real-time updating bypasses vision-blocking states (like unconsciousness, fog, or darkened rooms) and makes it very obvious when someone hides (bypassing perception checks). This is very serious, I think. Perhaps it should only update on a manual "look"? (Rather than deal with rewriting how a dozen systems work with the window.) Is there seriously no GM response or defense of this ridiculously easy mech abuse? Less important, but worth noting, is how it erroneously displays certain things like home customizations.

Thought window feature - people've been begging to have the SF thought window work like Wizard's with a shortened display. "[Person] thinking" or somesuch.

Known bugs acknowledged and currently being investigated:
Story window hang on dialog box exit and script execution/abort
RT error - RT counter is often off and erroneously will not accept commands when it should

Known bugs waiting on a motivated GM:
albredine thinking echo badness - albredine messaging in thoughts window is awkward

Known bugs requiring on-site work (a.k.a. TBSS, Too Bad So Sad):
ESC clears line on script abort
Bugginess in group icons
Beep on idle warning

Bugs heroically fixed with minimal loss of life:
ECHOCOLUMN - not as originally described, but very useful

>>is there a way to make the move verb default to sneak in SF when you are hiding already?Like it does for eScape.

Short answer, No.

With Strata you can set it to do so, but this has its own set of problems because it processes the command when you enter it and not when it is queued up, so fir you type unhide/north, it will try to sneak even though you stopped hiding before you actually tried to move.

Also, Strata has a number of other issues, including a myth about transmitting password/PIN information to its creator for the purpose of hacking your account. Also, the creator is kind of a tool about keeping the sourcecode secret, presumably because he was intending to charge for it in the future.

Wow. I didn't even realize I had used the term.

To my knowledge this is not possible in Stormfront. It is, however, possible with Genie. You can create any number of custom output windows and send whatever you want to them. For instance, I currently have windows for: deaths, arrivals/departures, ranks gained, environmental stuff (weather messaging, moons rising and setting, changes in lunar mana levels), and speech (including whispers, yells, racial languages, NPC speech, etc.). Its a nice program, I highly recommend it.

http://www.genieclient.com

If you want a very very good program for tracking things like speech and what not, Genie is your solution. You can even have the window blink if text appears in that window and the window is not focused (great for a peephole-like program for watching for speech).

There is a peephole program for SF and Wizard that I've got on my computer somewhere. IM me Huldahs-Pal and I'll try to find it.

But yeah, repeating what Vien said about Genie, it's a gr8 program. Tons of features, and a very flexible scripting program. Triggers are so nice.

I don't believe there is one...for most people who want triggers nowadays, Genie Pro is the answer.

http://genieclient.com is where you can get Genie Pro. There is a basic version, but I don't believe it has the triggers. Pro costs $30 and is the best $30 you'll ever spend. Goes to support good people :-) Also I believe you can get up to 3 accounts per license for $30. See site to double-check.

A trigger is basically a script that's looking for a specific line of text, and upon finding it will automatically execute. No need to ".script" on the commandline or use the menu to execute a travel script.

J'Lo, no that other one

<<can issue game commands:

<<action put quit when ^\[You're.*smashed up
<<action put quit when ^\[You're.*terribly wounded

these examples of this kind of trigger would be agianst policy though since combat logging is mechanics abuse.
