Macro keys being replaced by other keys upon login in again

Macrophage

Hello,

This is a long time bug, it's been here since I started UO.

Whenever I record a macro with a key that is different between qwerty and azerty configurations the key is changed randomly when I log in again.

For example, if I set a macro to "a" then upon login it may be a or q.

For m, it will be either "m" or "," or ";"

Any help on fixing this?

Regards

Yoshi

“It’s a US keyboard you’re using? Or another language?
Also, what client?”

I am using the classic client and an European keyboard.

“Okay i think it’s problem with European keyboard.
I don’t know the fix though at this time, I’ll ask some euro friends”

You could try editing the keynames file found

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Classic

and make sure all the keys match your keyboard, (if this does work you would have to copy this file somewhere as it gets replaced when you patch the client)

But this is something broadsword needs to fix for europeans"

Thank you for your answer. What do you mean exactly by editing the keynames files so it matches my keyboard?

This might help, it's old, but I think still valid
