Using Tab to pickup items

[mir2pion]

After yesterdays reboot my sin developped a glitch when picking up item from floor using the tab key - after I have done so, mouse click to get going doesn't work, I have to release mouse button and press it again to get moving.

Last night I made another acct and made warrior on it and it doesn't have the problem. Loging on my sin today I still have that glitch. Makes it awkward to play the char, I'll have to dump it if it doesn't go away. On sin I use mini interface, on warrior I am at default classic interface if that might have something to do with it.

On sin I use mini interface, on warrior I am at default classic interface if that might have something to do with it.

Have you tried switching these?

I am gonna try it now and let you know.

Tested, now on classic interface and it doesn't make a difference - it seems that if I have my bag window open and pick up via pressing tab key I can't simply run off clicking right mouse button unless I release and press it second time. I am gonna do some more testing yet

More testing, it is only when I pickup with tab key and then press right mouse button to run off. And it doesn't matter if the bag window is open or closed. If I click just the right button briefly, like only as clicking it to make a step, it works, I make a step to next item (like if you got more items around) but when I press it and hold to run off after tab pickup I don't run, I stay in place till on second try with right mouse button. I will relog on my second char and see if its the same on that one.

OK my nooby warrior is the same, and it is playing in the smaller res, I think 800x600 whereas my sin in 1024x768, so resolution or interface doesn't make a difference.

I throw say three items on ground and then I pick them up with tab key and move from item to item by right mouse button - just clicking it briefly with mouse farther off char as if you wanted to run... that's usually how I go about picking up drops in caves, by moving from item to item using right button briefly pressed, like just clicking it, and it makes your char move one tile. It seems sometimes it works but mostly you need to click second time to move to next item and it hardly ever works when after you picked up last item and want to run away.

So if you had items which are not next to each other but more spaced and you'd want to run to next one, you can't till you release and press the button one more time. Left button works as it should but mostly nobody is using it, we all run and use the right button to move from item to item and pick them up pressing the tab key and when we have picked up what we wanted, we then press the right button again but this time hold it to run away.

At least I think that's how pretty well all of us play? Wonder nobody complained yet. Its a pain in caves when you want to pick items with mobs atacking you, slows you down so much you can get killed. Anyway it is a good policy to move about only using right mouse button because that way if you click on guard you don't get killed or on mob and instead of going to item to pick it up, you move towards targeted mob...

I completely don't understand the issue?

Item on floor
Right Click
Stand on top of item
Release right click
Tab
No item?

OK item in your bag, next right click and hold to run and you don't move. Actually it seems that sometimes after first item pickup you can right click and hold and run off. But mostly on moving to second or third item and picking it up with tab key and then trying to run away doesn't work and you got to release and try runing again. This second time it always works.

To recapitulate, using brief right click to make a step to next item and picking it up works but if you are done with picking up and want to run off you don't move from the spot and have to release the right button and press it again, and then you run away. I sometimes am able to run away after picking up first item but when I use that right click to move to second item, then right click won't make you run or do anything.

And I am talking about all right clicks done at a distance from your char, the distance you click so you would run if the button is held down. Brief click (down and up) move you one step, holding after clicking down makes you run (after the initial couple steps before you break into run)

I am still confused...

Just performed the following fine:

Scenario 1:
Item on floor
Right click
moved to item
tab
picked item up
repeat for other items

Scenario 2:
Item on floor
hold left click
tab whilst moving
picked item item(s)
repeat

It is the scenario one.

Scenario 1:
Item on floor
Right click
moved to item
tab
picked item up
repeat for other items
---
sometimes after using tab to pick first item I can then run off but pretty well always if I move to second item that is usually on next tile and use tab to pick it up, then I try to run away (press and hold right click) and can't, I don't move and have to release mouse and try running again and it always works this second try.

So basically what I am saying is that whenever I press right key and the cursor is farther away from char, I expect to start moving (couple steps and break into run) if nothing is blocking my way. After picking up via Tab an item, I expect to be able to be on my way, running off, by pressing and holding the right mouse key. After picking second item (when two or more items are on neigbouring tiles as they typically are) I pretty well always can't do that.

I am now on my lev6 warr in Mizu village and am suffering from it, same as lev15 sin in Oma. And I started noticing it after last reboot which was I think yesterday 17pm UK time. But for all I know it might have been like this prior to that reboot although I doubt it or may not have noticed.

I have tested in town throwing down two or three tele scrolls, candles, whatever, moving over first item with right mouse key, press tab to pick, then use right key to step over second item and use tab to pick, then I press and hold right key to run off and my char stays on spot till I release hold and press the right key again. But the same happens with items dropped from mobs.

I don't believe anyone is/has experienced this issue, and its certainly something that we wouldn't store against your character...

Can I asking you to just walk around by using the right click button (with no items or tabbing).

Using right button, when cursor is near character I can only orient which way I want to face.

When the cursor is further away and I press right button I make couple steps and break into run.

I think that's how it should be.

Sometimes throwing teleport down and moving to it and use tab to pick up, I can then run off but now always, but when I throw down two or more items and pick the second or third up and then press the right mouse key and hold I don't move while I should start running (of course the cursor is far enough from my char to run)

I tested it right now in BW on pion char just west of central SZ

I play from win8.1 but the same thing happens in win7 virtual machine (vmware) on win8.1 host.

---------------
throwing down one item and moving over it and using tab to pick up sometimes works (meaning I can run off subsequently) but about every second or third time I do try that I don't run and while I don't and am holding the button down I can move it around char, near of far and it doesn't do anything. When I let go of the button and press it again I can run away from the spot just fine. I would put it this way - after single item pickup, it is likely I will be able to run away (maybe 25% chance I won't be able to) but picking up two (or more items) in row it becomes very unlikely although sometimes it works (the ratio seems to be like 75% chance I won't be able to) I will run away on subsequent press of the right mouse key.

Is not the TAB buttom, all the keys if pressed, while u walking with the mouse's right buttom, stop u walking,
Think is a key command trasmission problem…

No, I stand still, I drop tele scroll from my bag and it falls one tile away from me. Then I press and release the right mouse button to make one step that places me over the item, I press Tab and items goes in my bag, then I press right mouse key expecting to run and bingo, I don't run and I am standing in open space on the tile where the item was picked from. I tried right now again and it seems first time I pick up single dropped item I can then run but if I repeat it, chance is the 'run key' will not make me run.

I am not talking about some specialties like using tab to pickup items on the run or . When I press mouse right key button and expect to run, I no longer hold the tab button. I talk about tapping the tab only briefly to pick the item up, I don't hold tab or any other key down.

I talk about very standard situation - like you find a drop of two or more items, you move item to item using right clicks of mouse and tapping the Tab key to pick what you want or press right button repeatedly to move over to the item you want to pick up, and when you are finished picking what you want, you press right mouse button (while the cursor is far enough from your char of course) and expect your char to start running away in the direction of your cursor - and I am saying that most times my char remains standing on spot and I have to release the hold on the button and press it again to make my char run from that spot... very basic gamplay I should think, I imagine that bulk of pple play like that if not all of us.

This doesn't happen if you use left mouse click to move to item, tab to pick up, and left key again to walk away. It happens when you try to run away using mouse right click - that you find out it doesn't make you run on first try.

I will try copying mir client to another PC and see if I get the same glitch.

!!!!!!~~~~==================================~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!

I copied the chronicles install to different PC and the problem is not evident on there, so it must be that particular laptop that exhibits the bug somehow. It is weird really, not in wild dream would I think it could be related to a particular machine.
Sorry for false humbug. I'll play more tonight on that other machine and if by tomorrow I don't get the glitch, then it is clearly my PC fault somehow.
