Weird Behaviour of the Armageddon Game after installing the latest update

[Ayrios]

Hi all, i got a question concerning Worms Armageddon.
The camera does not attaches itself on the worm who is active, moving.
It remains on one palce and i have to move the mouse to follow the worm, even my own.
Thats really really annoying. Does anyone has a clue how to avoid this? I couldn't find a key combination for this.
And, in addition to this, there is another conundrum.
I have a light keyboard, which lights up the keys by pressing the scroll key.
And everytime it's my turn, the state of light switches in the opposite. If it's off it turns itself on and vice versa.
I want this issues stop so badly, please tell me what i can do...

thanks for answering

When Scroll Lock key is on, the camera will lock and will not follow any active objects.
You will have to fix your computer or keyboard so Scroll Lock is only on when you want it to be on.

well, the problem is that the light comes with the scrollkey and only with it. but i need the light otherwise i cant see where my keyboard is...
is there any possibility to change the keyboard layout?
if not, i could press the key above the usual shift button, but then all my chat-writing would be in capital letters...

What about the light that comes with NumLock?

Out of curiosity, how dark is the room you are playing in? If it's not well lit it can do damage to your eyes in the long run.

[Ayrios]

no, actually it's not the room which isn't well lit, it's the keyboard's keys.
there's no problem with daylight, but if its dark outside and i have only my artificial light, the keys don't reveal their imprint. then i need the light which makes them glow...
it's a little bit weird, i know...
but i konw the position of most of the keys by heart, so it's pretty much ok... i just confuse the F8 key all the time with the F9.. that's the major problem... but i think im gonna get a grip on this...
thaks for helping!

ah so your keyboard is like semi transparent with a backlight behind all the keys?

[Metal Alex]

This is the most strange problem I ever saw. No idea how to help, though, sorry.

[CyberShadow]

Why don't you use Num Lock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Num_Lock)? I have it on all the time, personally.

[Muzer]

No! You misunderstand! He said his scroll lock key enables a backlight behind the kb that lights up ALL THE KEYS.

[CyberShadow]

Ah, well bad luck then. You could try using one of those key remapper programs.

Let me see if I've got this straight. At the start of every one of your turns, the scroll lock key toggles between on and off.

When it's on. Your lights come on, but the camera doesn't move.
When it's off. Your lights go off, but the camera works fine. Is that all correct?

Are you able to reconfigure your keyboard to turn the lights on\off when a different key is pressed?

[CyberShadow]

The scroll lock key's state is only cleared (turned off) at the start of your own turn, to prevent accidents in case you forget to turn it off.

[bloopy]

What a joke... the keyboard should have its own switch instead of using the ScrollLock key.

If WA only turns ScrollLock off at the start of your turn, then why does that sometimes switch the keyboard light on? Surely if ScrollLock is already off, then WA does not toggle anything, and the keyboard light should stay off.

[franpa]

the guy obviously turns it back on at the start of every turn or something.

[Ayrios]

well, actually the scrollkey and the lightkey are one key :)
and there is no possibility to change it.
because the lightthing is a mechanical issue, but the scrollthing isn't.
so i did what cybeshow suggested, i downloaded a programm which allowes me to changes the arrangement of keys and i laid the camera/lock key on a key which isn't used in WA.
so, thank you I guess this solved the problem.

[bloopy]

Maybe you could also cut your ScrollLock key in half to solve the problem. :D

buy a new keyboard. period.
