/ commands? Not able to use them.

The / commands (such as /sit or /startlog) do not work for me. I know of a workaround for /sit with Ctrl+7 (which I have been using for quite a while) but that's it. Yes, I did map talk to a different key, to no avail.

Essentially, the game seems to be completely ignoring / commands.

Also, I'm still getting that "Unable to access game files" crash back to GameTap. I completely reinstalled the game too, apparently for naught. :lol:

Are you using some strange charset or keyboard configuration? What are your language and keyboard settings?

It seams to me a keyboard layout problem, like myself. I have a brazilian layout keyboard and cannot type "/" or "?" in game. There is a workaround though, but you have to start typeing anything else just to open the "type line" in your KI first. For the "/" you press right Alt+Q and for th "?" press right Alt+W. Or you can change the keyboard layout in Control Panel to an US-keyboard layout

.

The current version of URU is very picky and doesn't like non American (non ASCII) characters. It doesn't display extended codeset characters (German umlauts, Frence ´`^~ ...) and you can't send a line with a non ASCII character.

You have to make sure that you use an ASCII / to start a command. They are some unicode characters that look similar to /

Despite my name, I'm 100% American (whatever that means), and I can type the / and ? in game.

I do have files installed for various languages so I can see them, but don't have IME installed (that's a little icon in your taskbar which usually says EN and can be changed to let you type in other languages). According to my Control Panel, everything's American English, and the keyboard is a standard 101/102 key model.

silly question, maybe.

are you typing /sit or / sit

there should NOT be a space between the / and the actual command.

Ed Oscuro · **Posted:** Tue Feb 06, 2007 8:33 pm

/sit of course

I tried everything except /sit inside a chat window (that seems silly although in retrospect I should have tried it).

Anyhow, I just opened four tickets (two for relatively minor graphical problems), so we'll see how things go.

Have you tried other commands? Try /wave /cheer /dance and /go. Make sure you have no characters in front and after the command and press enter.

Ed Oscuro · **Posted:** Tue Feb 06, 2007 11:15 pm

Just tried 'em. Nope.

OH! Foolish me! All I need to do is open up the chat interface first. It works brilliantly now.

:lol:

Still, the chat interface should open automatically when you type /

Here's the official word on this behavior:

"If you have the start chat option configured to a button then that will happen, if there is no key mapped for start chat then it is a bug."

Start chat was automatically (I think) mapped to t when I started the game, but perhaps I bound it there long ago (wouldn't surprise me since 't' is the same key used for chat in many FPSes).

/ commands? Not able to use them.
