nwntoolset on Windows 10 - Copy and Paste shortcut?

[Baaleos]

               

I used to be able to ctrl + c and ctrl + v  to copy and paste in toolset (to paste placeables or creatures)

However, since using Windows 10 - it doesn't seem to work.

Anyone else see this?

you could try clearing your clipboard:

and make sure that you have your 'windows updates'.  I believe one of them was a driver fix that was related to this issue

 

oh there is work-around hotkey:

On my work computer I have Windows 10 with NWN and I can copy and paste objects in the toolset using the keyboard.

I actually found the cause of this issue.

It seems that it is a symptom of not having the registry keys associated with nwn installation installed.

I guess it uses the registry keys GUID value to store context sensitive information such as placeables/object data on the clipboard.

So without the GUID entry in the registry, it didnt know how to copy to clipboard, or paste via the ctrl +c or ctrl+v options.

 

Once I added the following registry options in : 

"Location"="H:\\NeverwinterNights" 

"GUID"="{7C503E58-B2BC-11D5-978A-0050BA84F5F7}" 

"Version"="1.69" 

"Language"=dword:00000000 

"Path"="H:\\NeverwinterNights" 

 

It let me do Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V

That's good to know, just in case. As I got to thinking more about it, on my Windows 10 machine I upgraded from Windows 8.1 with NWN installed on it. It was not a fresh install, so I'll be keeping this info ready in case I ever need to reinstall it.

I was just tolerating toolset, every time I started it up, it would cry about registry keys being missing, advising me to run the updater to rebuild them.

I ended up having to do it manually, because the updater didn't seem to be able to access/update my registry.

Once I added the registry keys (I suspect it was the GUID one)

Suddenly ctrl + c and ctrl + v worked like a charm.

 

I remember hearing a while back that the registry has a GUID entry for most/all applications - and I suspect it uses that GUID entry for saving contextual clipboard information.

 

After all - A Placeable is going to be useless to Microsoft Word etc.

 

So without the GUID entry, it had no way of saving/retrieving via the ctrl+c / ctrl+v shortcuts.

It was most likely trapping the keystrokes, and sending the data to nowhere land.

Hey, I'm experiencing the very same problem. Could anyone explain me step-to-step where do I add those things in registry?

I created the new category (Bioware/NWN/Neverwinter) Toolset was screaming about, but what comes next? Where do I put those:

 

"Location"="H:\\NeverwinterNights" 

"GUID"="{7C503E58-B2BC-11D5-978A-0050BA84F5F7}" 

"Version"="1.69" 

"Language"=dword:00000000 

"Path"="H:\\NeverwinterNights" 

 

(And obv H:\\NeverwinterNights should be replaced by the path to where the game is located on my drive, right?)

               
               

               
            

[Baaleos]

               

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare]

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare\NWN]

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare\NWN\Neverwinter]

 

These are the locations in registry that must exist

The keys described in your post, must be under the Neverwinter one.

I don't get it. Importing nwn registry was the first thing I did when switching to win10. Yet toolset still reporting registry not found.

 

I double checked it and those registry are there on correct path. I tried running toolset with or without admin rights/compatibility win xpsp2 but it didn't change anything. Also toolset is not the only app that can't find nwn registry, SetEditorB085 can't find them either.

 

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Is it 64bit?

If it is - then it may need to have the keys duplicated to the Wow6432Node   in the registry.

I think thats where 32bit programs have their keys stored, for the 64bit system to find.

 

Once the keys are in the right place - the message will go away - It did for me anyway.

Thanks that helped.
