Direction bug, please help.

kicker · September 25, 2011, 08:23

Midway through a game of 3.3.0 the 4 diagonal directions stop working, and I require 2 direction keys to move once.

For example I press left and up and the character moves diagonally once.

Apparently I've set some interface mode, and it moves with the save file, not the prf file. I started a new character, and he wasn't affected.

Any idea what's happening?

No, but here are some questions to narrow it down:

- are you using the roguelike keyset?

- does toggling NumLock make any difference?

- what OS are you using?

- how do you start angband? (double-click? command line arguments?)

- are you using the roguelike keyset?
I tried turning roguelike keys on and off.

- does toggling NumLock make any difference?
I tried this as well.

- what OS are you using?
Windows 7.

- how do you start angband? (double-click? command line arguments?)
Double clicking the icon.

I was confused right before it started happening. Is it possible the confusion screwed up the key mappings?

I had this happen when playing the current competition. Apparently the savefile had movement delay set to 2. Setting it back to 0 fixed the problem. See the competition forum for comp 111 for the related thread -- I had never messed with movement delay and didn't know what it did.
