[SOLVED] Some function keys do not work anymore

[Cryborg]

Hi there, I'm currently facing a very strange behaviour with my RMMV. While F4 and F5 keys work, F8 and F9 do not. With a new project there is no problem, this only happens in my game. Here is what I tried, and nothing worked :

• disable all plugins
• reinstall RMMV (I removed all keys from the Windows registry and manually deleted all remaining files)
• tested on an empty map with nothing in it (yes, I'm this lost )

What is even stranger : I am using a plugin from Yanfly, the Doodads one. When you press F10 it opens a menu. This does not work anymore of course. So I changed the key mapping and put it on an unused letter (Y) : still no luck... Of course I tried with only the Yanfly Core and the Doodads plugin enabled...

Another strange thing ? I also work on a Mac, and the function keys works, so it is a problem on my Windows version...

I can live without F8 or F9, as both are overrode by some of the plugins I use. But not Yanfly's Doodads, that I extensively use. And I am sure it is related to the F8/9 keys not working...

Does somebody have an idea ?

I tested it and F8 still works on projects made with 5.1 running on 6.1 for me. You could also try f12 because it's the same and that one works. (I think somebody mentioned that they changed some keys to f12 for those using plugins.) As for yanfly plugins, I'm not sure. I would probably suggest that you ask Yanfly on that.

You can always try f1 through f12 to confirm which keys works because sometimes plugin updates and mv base updates can change stuff. (That's what I did anyways.)

When this happens, then you have updates the editor to 1.6.1 but your project is still in an older version.
You'll need to update your project to 1.6.1 as well for the debug functions to work again.
Don't forget to make a backup before updating.

Thank you for your answers ! I have never updated RMMV, it was already in 1.6.1 when I started learning it, but that was a good try

For the F8 key yes, I forgot to say that it has been remapped to F12, and it works, I have the JS debugger window.

For F9 and F10 I still have no idea... I can maybe ask Yanfly, that is a good idea, though I doubt it can come from the plugin or the core as it still does not work when I disable all plugins. But I'll try !

I'd still check your project versions, as 1.6.1 is a very recent release. You can do this by opening a core .js file in that project and seeing the version number on the top of the file.

You are magic sirs ! I checked the JS files, and they were 1.5.2 ! So I wanted to know why I was sure to be with the 1.6.1 version and discovered that I created my project less than 1 hour before Steam update, so in my mind I have never been on 1.5.2

Moreover all Yanfly plugins were updated version to work on 1.6. This was a tricky one

Everything works great now, thank you @Andar and @bgillisp !!
