Okay, so back in the day I used to play this game a lot. I used Nexus since I frequently would log in from various computers other than my own, but when I played on my computer I had particular keybindings that I used. It's a laptop, and I would hit the NUM LOCK and use the 'keypad' as macros. I recently started logging in again every once in a while, and my keybindings don't work any more - when I turn the NUM LOCK on it just enters the numbers into Nexus instead of recognizing my macros. I've tried re-making the macros but it still doesn't work. This is making me sad. Anyone had a similar issue or have ideas how to fix it?

Only thing I can think of is turning off numlock and trying it, but that wouldn't work on a laptop I don't think. Numlock on should have made it read it as numbers, numlock OFF should have made it read it as bindable keys...at least as I understand it.

No, numlock on used to make the righthand half of the keyboard read as a keypad... it's got to be something to do with the new version of Java or something, I can't think why else it would change.

Mighta been a glitch with the system itself that got fixed?

EDIT: Tried it out myself. I can set them as keybindings, just don't work. Then again, my Mac is buggered up when it comes to keybindings. No options that I could see to turn it on/off either...I'd guess it is bugged.

If you have a Dell, you generally have to hit the function key in conjunction with the proper key with the number in the background in order for number lock to work.

I have a mac, and it's the same machine I used to use when my macros worked.

Flash Nexus is your problem.

Use the old java client

Circumstantial evidence suggests he is talking about the Java Nexus. Considering how different the Flash client is (which is called FMud), I expect he'd have mentioned something about it.


This isn't really a solution, but you could put MUSHclient on a thumb drive and use that at any computer you want to log in at. (It helps if you can mount the thumb drive as C:\MYTHUMB or something on the computers you use, so you don't have to change a bunch of directories every time you switch...)

Also, what's with that signature?

Its a man, being hit in the face with a shovel, while poking his head through a hole.

It makes no sense.

My signature is superior.

It reminds me of 'Critters'

Also: nexus sucks.

Heh, circumstantial evidence such as my hypothesis that it might be related to the new version of Java?

Anyway, I'm not going to switch clients; I'm not planning on playing enough for it to be worth my while to write or even learn a new system. I'll just make do without my macros I guess.
