Keypad system
Today, I was leading my squad when someone called out a grid coordinate, I marked it on the map, since he said keypad one I put the marker on keypad one, but he said no, thats keypad seven. He was using a telephone keypad system, while I was using my keyboard keypad.
So, just wondering, what does everyone here use? Telephone or number pad on the keyboard?

Re: Keypad system
im sure the official is the keyboard for one reason..
if you look at the top right corner or your map, a1, on some maps, it is corded
789
456
123
on others there is nothing.
i allways use the keyboard numpad for my keypads.

Re: Keypad system
Its the keyboard system, or at least that is the standard in PR. As bloodthirstty stated above, you can see (barely on some maps) the numbering in A1.

Re: Keypad system
I agree with everyone who replied to this thread that said the official keypad designation is the numpad on the keyboard. If someone told me that they were using a telephone keypad I would have kicked them out of my squad. What is he playing on, an Iphone?Tricky45 wrote:Today, I was leading my squad when someone called out a grid coordinate, I marked it on the map, since he said keypad one I put the marker on keypad one, but he said no, thats keypad seven.

It is suppose to be like that on all maps, the numbers are just hard to see sometimes.bloodthirsty_viking wrote:im sure the official is the keyboard for one reason..

Re: Keypad system
Everyone I've encountered has used the keyboard system like this:
789
456
123
I'm certain that's the correct one.

Re: Keypad system
Not a good idea to screw up the two systems when flying transport choppers. Haha. But yeah the default should be the keyboard numbers.

So you would kick a perfectly good player just because he though you were supposed to use telephone keypadcharliegrs wrote:I agree with everyone who replied to this thread that said the official keypad designation is the numpad on the keyboard.

Re: Keypad system
He was a perfectly competent player, better than most regular players, but he just used a telephone system. we fixed the problem and moved on

also, i was a pilot once, and the sniper used a telephone keypad for drop, and he called me a noob for droping him off at the numpad keypad location, and the entire server stoped playing to argue about it =D
