Glad I dont have to do this. My hotkeys save themselves if I change channels or whatnot. =D

Until you close your client.

Quote from Jiihae;904703:
For me at least (I'm using winxp), without using the python webserver, my hotkeys only disappear when I close my client. Switching between characters or changing channels doesn't reset my hotkeys.

Now, with the python webserver, I can close my client and restart my computer without losing my hotkeys. Also, the client saves the hotkey file everytime I log out and requests the hotkey file when I log into my character the first time after starting up the client. This means that if I don't need to change any hotkeys, I only need to start up the webserver before opening up the client and logging in and can exit it until I want to save my hotkeys or need to load them again after I close my client.

Also you can just copy the webserver.py file and hotkey folder if you want to use those hotkeys on another computer.

I just want to copy this quote as well because this is EXACTLY the functionality of how this works and is a perfect explanation. Please read this if you don't understand.

Okay, I don't get it, it's still not working. No message came up after it started the server. I followed the guide to a T and even re-did it just in case.

Ugh, why do I get my hopes up about these things...

It works for a lot of us though...what OS are you using?

Quote from Osayidan;904804:
After looking at the source of the server it looks like all it does is accept a connection and make it think it's uploading to the right place. Which means someone could make a .htaccess and a php file to accept this and have a centralized hotkey server for people to use. The only safety concern is it shows your character's ID number, which as far as I can tell is irrelevant since it doesn't really link it to character names.

I don't have the time to fiddle around with that but if someone else feels like trying it, and it works I don't mind hosting it on nation.

Yes that would work, people would only need to edit their hosts to redirect to the external server instead of their own computer. And of course, you would have to set something up to accept mabiui.nexon.net requests.

Wow did you really put it in a write protected directory? My laziness is showing...

That's all it should do when you start it. The rest of the messages are logs of the connection.
1) Start server
2) Run mabi, log in, select character
3) Logs appear in console

Meh I dont mind fixing my hotkeys everytime I log in. Helps me in fact cause I realized how many hotkeys I had that were...well plum useless!

The hotkey resets have made me realize how very few skills I actually use.

So, I have Python 2.6 (for Blender and Gimp) on Win7. Will this fix work with that version at all?

Also, I had to change to Avast AV when we had the problems with AVG, so when I ran Netsat to see if port 80 was clear, Avast is sitting on about 15 entries all using port 80. Should I try to convince Avast to use a different port? (if so, how?)

I have win7 and avast. I'm not sure about python 2.6, I just installed 2.7.3 for it, but if it works...I'd give it a try. Since I can run both at the same time, why not try it without messing with the AV?

I don't think Desktop is write protected on my computer. I could be wrong though. Having it run as administrator fixed the issue for some reason though.

There were no logs & it wasn't saving any hotkeys...

2.6 should work fine, I didn't do anything too crazy. Yeah it won't be able to host if Avast is doing that. I don't know anything about the software, though.

Well that failure was actually in my lazy exception catch for the mkdir. It was unable to make the hotkeys dir which likely means it didn't have permission to. But only likely, it could have been literally any reason which is why it's lazy. :<

Be sure you did the hosts part right. You can verify by running nslookup mabiui.nexon.net in cmd. If it still says "Address: 8.31.99.84" then you didn't do the hosts part right. I think it should say 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.something.orother or maybe your external ip (whatismyip.com), I don't really know and I don't have my VM running to check.
So far I've seen people make a hosts.txt, somehow rename it to "host", and add a comment marker before the line. zzz
Claudia wrote on 2012-07-10 15:38

Yeah, you're right, it's still 8.31.99.84.

I did notice in my hosts file (I did save it right, btw) that there is already a 127.0.0.1 already there under 'localhost', but I added the mabiui line under all of that.
Kadalyn wrote on 2012-07-10 16:03

Having two lines using 127.0.0.1 is fine.
Now try: dir C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

The result should look something like this: http://pastebin.com/49GRmfHi

Oh also your entry in the hosts file should look like this: http://pastebin.com/DepA2C6M
Your saying that strikes me as you having put a # at the start of the line. Those are comments.
