two-byte language keyboard input, lose archery and walking

[dorni]

On Japanese keyboards, there are two keys for switching from single-byte input to double-byte input (for Japanese characters such as kanji, kana, emoticons etc). When you're in two-byte mode, letter entries are only the first of two steps to get the character onscreen.

In M&B, if I inadvertantly hit a key for double byte entry, letters appear in the top left of the screen (strings of "wwwww" for example as I charge the horse). After that, the targetting of archery disappears, and if I shoot an arrow, it flies backwards out of my bow. If I'm on foot, I can only move straight ahead or straight backwards (I cannot turn, nor can I walk at any angle).

I wonder if M&B can disable alternative character input methods, so that only single byte input would result from pressing the a, s, d and w of locomotion. (ANd yes, I wonder if I can stop hitting the "switch" buttons on my keyboard )

sounds like you were able to enable the console

Not sure what that means I'm on a Japanese computer.

The only way out is to Save&Exit, Exit to Windows, and restart the game. Switching back to single byte input doesn't change the unexpected behavior of arrows or mobility.

in most games there is some way to open a console were you can use debug codes (read cheats)

Uhm, no there is no console in Mount&Blade.

dorni: That's quite the strangest of problems. Unfortunately I have no idea about how to disable that feature on japanese keyboards.
