Rotate and Translate Don't Visually Appear to Work

[longiron]

Have the settings set to: usenNumPad = true

If I choose an object via SELECT and ROTATE commands, then try to use any arrow or numpad arrow keys (or any keys), I cannot get the highlighted object to visually show any movement - around, up down or sideways. However, when going to exit TSRE, the window shows the tile name as if I had made changes to the object - even though visually nothing happened.

Any suggestions? Am I missing something really obvious? Like is the spelling of the command switch correct??
Thanks in advance

I will assume 'usenNumPad = true' is a typo in the post, and not in the config file.

Is NumLock on? If it isn't, the num pad arrow keys won't work

First, I'm using v6956. I'd like to get this working properly. BTW, Terrain editing works fine as does track placement and TDB modifications.

"usenNumPad=true" is not a typo, without that typo NONE of the arrow keys work (Home, PgUp, etc) four arrow keys and arrow keys in NumPad - for even navigation.

I've attached a screen shot to show that I've activated the Rotate mode - but nothing happens no matter what key I press

Hi Chris
I have never had the problems you are finding. I have not used v6956, I went from v6951 to v6963. Also I have learned something new looking at your image, I have never rotated this way. I select the object, press R to rotate or T to translate on the keyboard, and use the numbers above the letters to get the object to move. The objects move on screen each time a key is pressed.
I have just found that it also works using the numberpad as well, and also by the method you show in the image!
As to why it doesn't work for you, I wonder what happens in other versions of TSRE, have you got an older version that worked OK? It might be worth giving that another go. If it works you know it is a problem with your current version, either in the program or the installation.

just backdated to v6946 and rotation and translation work fine. So now I need to see which update broke things for me.

[longiron]

Just tested each version moving backwards - v6955 is the last version that numpad arrows or any other arrows work on objects for me.

Running Win7 SP! + latest updates. Until Goku suggests some course of action I will be staying with the functionality at that release.

Try .6963 first.

Unfortunately, I get this image using that version:

This version has a difficult installation method. It is explained somewhere at this forum.

Got v6963 installed correctly. All is not well. Rotate and Translate do NOT work via numpad arrows or any other arrows. Rotate does not work with mouse, but Translate does work with mouse. Go figure. Love the additional features, so I'm bummed that I have to keep to v6955

It works for everyone else, so can't help.
I don't think that anything changed here.

going to try some Windows USB keyboard fixes to see if that corrects the issue.
