Lock Picking Bug?

[Baddcog]

Well, I decided to give Fuchards another run tonight.

 

Earlier today I realized I had not even updated to 1.07. Still using 1.06. 80

 

Anyway, so I'm up to date. I did instal the starter map again today to check out water.

 

-------

 

So I'm playing Fuchard's and I climb into top room, go to pick the cabinet in the architectures room. Neither pick works, OK, gotta find a key...

Try to pick same style cabinet in Fuchard's room. Picks don't work. Find chest, picks don't work.

Melan, you are EVIL, where's are thye damn keys... lol

 

So I look at the thread, and there's no clue but a vid. Which someone picks that first table with the snake pick. OK, so I'll try again.

 

When I pick, they don't light up red or green, they just say click NO.

 

I've tried to keep my game install as clean as possible, and I've never messed with the picks in any weird way. Modding them OR for a map.

 

Re update and TDM says it's up to date.

 

What am I missing?

The only thing that comes to mind is that lockpicks have a different distance to frob so you need to move closer. I can't remember off-hand what happens to the highlight. And of course, its the use key not frob. Sorry to be stating the obvious but just in case - I've done it myself occasionally. I can't think what else could affect this unless there really is a bug in the map that was introduced later.

And of course, its the use key not frob

 

You can use both, can't you?

[Baddcog]

Well, OK. I admit I haven't played for awhile.

 

Using the Use key does work, but that seems really foriegn to me, I'm sure I used to use the mouse button. Did something change in the last update or two?

 

Also, there is no menu button choice for that, should there be?

[Springheel]

You should be able to use either "use" or "frob".

[lost_soul]

You can even use your attack key to defeat the tumblers while holding the primary use item key.

[Baddcog]

Use works, frob doesn't. Don't know about the tumbler thing..

[grayman]

Make sure your Settings->Gameplay->Use-By-Frobbing option is set to "Enabled".

[Baddcog]

But won't that set other things to use by frobbing also, like health potion in inventory?

[grayman]

No. It's my normal setting, and I have no problems frobbing other things into inventory w/o using them immediately.

[Serpentine]

Yeah it really should be a default imho, had taaaki asking about this too.
