Razor Hotkey Glitch?

Post by Anodyne »

I'm having a bit of trouble using razor hotkeys for primary and secondary weapon abilities. The hotkeys work perfectly for classic weapons (Longsword, Staff, Mace, Dagger, etc.) but when I try to use them while I have a Samurai Empire weapon equipped (Nunchuck, Samurai Sword, Fans, etc.) I get a message that says I'm activating disarm or paralyzing blow (the unarmed abilities). When I attack enemies I perform neither the weapon's ability nor an unarmed ability. Anyone know what's up?

That's been a documented problem since Samurai Empire came out. It seems that Samurai and Mondain weapons use a different method that Razor doesn't understand. You can set up a macro in the client options on the paperdoll for primary or secondary abilities which seems to work. The tab looks like a rounded arrow.

This bug has been reported by me 2 years ago (August 2008):

To wich Colibri posted:

One year and a half later(Marsh 2010), I mentionned the bug again:
fingers wrote:...For an exaple, this weapon (butcher's war cleaver) has a special move called "bladeweave", it doesn't work. Short magical bows have lightning arrow and an other special, doesn't work. I haven't tried the elven long bow, but I would doubt that serpant arrow works...
But this time I got a different answer:
+Colibri wrote:This is basically a feature request, but as this takes time to code and isn't a big drawback, with the loads of work on my hands i'm afraid i'll discard it.
So it seems that there is no plan at the moment to make thoses special moves work. I still mentionned it again yesterday in the suggestion thread. Making thoses special moves work would be nice for the crafters, because as it is now, thoses weapons are broken and are pretty much useless for an advanced warrior. Seing that the problem hasn't been adressed in two years though, I would not hold my breath until it's fixed! :lol:

Thanks for the help, I've assigned the hotkeys within the client and they seem to be working for all weapons now. Also, does anyone know why my client (not razor) hotkey setting are being reset every time I log in? I have to delete all the defaults before I can play otherwise option menus and paperdolls go flying around the screen when I'm trying to fight.

I am happy you got it fixed. I thought you were talking about the special moves of most Mondain Legacy weapons wich don't work neither in Razor or in the client hotkey. As for Samurai Empire weapons, i think only nerve strike is broken atm.
