How to fix Windows "Default Beep" for an ALT key shortcuts with other keys pressed?

[ReFresh 3169]

Hey guys,

someone got an idea how to fix "Default Beep" for ALT key shortcuts? Try to run with your character ingame with pressed ALT key, you wil get: "Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep" sound, which is really anoying and I got no idea where could be a problem.

I will be really glad, if someone got a solution for this problem and can share it with us, because it's problem of 99% clients.

Thanks for possible answers!

Sincerely,

ReFresh

I may be wrong, but that's a windows issue, not a metin2 one.

@VegaS™It must be a game problem,  because it's not happening in Windows at all. It's happening only when game is in windowed mode. So problem must be somewhere in the source idk. I had chance to test it on one server and there wasn't this issue. So I believe it's a game problem.

Ok, I just tested right now with a default metin2 client and that's not a real 'beep', it's an 'Asterisk' sound from Windows and it comes from PythonApplication.cpp:

unsigned __GetWindowMode(bool windowed)
{
	if (windowed)
		return WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX;

	return WS_POPUP;
}

If you remove WS_SYSMENU from the style, you won't get the sound anymore but you won't see the buttons and icon too.

 

UPDATE

Alright, after some debugging:

Here is a fast fix and should work fine, I didn't test it so well.

• UserInterface\PythonApplicationProcedure.cpp

LRESULT CPythonApplication::WindowProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT uiMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	if (wParam == 0xF100)
		return 1;
  
	[...]
}

 

 

I've tested it and it seems fine. Gonna test it further more.

I just prefer it like this:

	case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
		if (wParam == SC_KEYMENU)
			return 0;
		break;

 

Edit: I've changed the return 1L to return 0. Even (TRUE) should be fine (which is 1).
