i can't find the UV thread (if there is one), so i'll just post it. Through a lot of thinking i've finally figured out the problem with the "use torches" not working properly, and it's caused by UV. Not sure if anyone else has run into the same problem before, but i'll just sort of describe it. Basically, after assigning a hotkey to the "use torches" misc item (which came from OOO). when pressing the hotkey, the torch (a lot of times) don't light up. So the animation sort of shows the torch equiping and unequiping rapidly, flashing torch light in the process). And similarly after a few quick taps of the button to finally light up a torch, the same happens when trying to unequip the torch. So basically, the actual usage of the drop lit torch still works, but the equipping/unequipping becomes unusable from hotkeys, rendering the function pretty much useless. What causes this problem is the UV feature of "hide shield when weapon sheathed", which is the one where as soon as you sheath your weapon the shield disappears, which i'm assuming that it's being unequipped during gameplay (of course it's still equiped when going to inventory menu). But this feature causes the offhand weapon/shield/item to unequip and equip automatically (the intention was that an offhand weapon will show up on the back of the char sheathed in a scabbard). And so basically, something screws up the equipping torches function, which is causing it to equip and unequip rapidly. I disabled the feature in the ini and then it worked fine. This is just something i found that might be useful to some people and i'm quite certain the problem is with UV.

From the UV FAQ:
Q: OOO hottkey torches don't work.
A: Known bug. Will be fixed for the next release. For now, disable FFP in the INI, Disable weapon on back in the INI, Disable Bow Autoswitch in the INI, open the console and type 'StopQuest ptFakeFirstPersonQuest'

nvm, delete thread. thanks.

edit: where is the faq........:S
