Windows v6 beta test

[Tim_Rocks]

Not sure if this is an Era bug, but it only happens on my laptop..

When i try to double click an item in my inventory it changed to Equipped Item: (none).. This only happens on my laptop (windows 7) and I tried to see if the bug happened on my desktop computer (windows vista) and it didn't.

I haven't had this problem on any of the new clients, Windows or Mac. Have you tried quitting/reopening the client?

Happens ever single time I log in.

I sometimes experience weird highlighting behavior with TextEditCtrls, a good way to reproduce it is to use the GUI Editor Tool in Scripted RC, and change values (text is a good choice).

Specs: Win7, Intel Core2Duo, and ATI GFX

So does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Edit: if it helps I'll list computer specs.
Windows 7
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) II Ultra Duel-Core Mobile M600 2.40 GHz
System Type: 64 bit

openURL (on v6) opens without prompt, that's probably more of a security concern than performClick.

I've noticed this on Mac as well.

Something else I've noticed is that particles blur and have issues with small green artifacts showing around the edges in v6.


There is no zoom, spin, or anything else that should make these blur. They work fine (solid edge) in v5.

According to Stephen on Windows 7, images (text) won't bold correctly in v6.

PHP Code:

with (findImg(200)) {
  text = "Pie";
  style = "b";
  zoom = 0.65;
}
//IS THE SAME AS
with (findImg(200)) {
  text = "Pie";
  zoom = 0.65;
}

This is also the case on XP

While on topic with the text can it be drawn as the same font size (or at least the option added) as the V5 Client? A lot of the text drawn using findimgs, and guitextctrl's are off and clipped on Zodiac because of this.

I agree, it would be a good idea to at least shrink the size a bit to emulate the old fonts.

I was talking to Skyld about this once a while ago.

Its like it's too big for the GUI's but in V5 they';re fine same with most other font related things everywhere
(10:57 PM) Skyld: Right just so you know. That's how those GUIs have looked on Mac and Linux ever since Graal v3. The font rendering on Windows has been changed to use the same rendering as Mac and Linux and iPhone so that GUIs are design once use everywhere. I don't think there's an option yet for changing font, but the client will happily use other fonts for showtext and stuff
(10:59 PM) TSAdmin: hm, so weird.
(10:59 PM) Skyld: To be honest I always thought the old font rendering on Windows client was terrible
I like the Mac/Linux font rendering
(11:00 PM) TSAdmin: Even though it was cut off? I'd hate that rofl
(11:00 PM) Skyld: Well it's not cut off if people design their UIs properly

Sounds more realistic to create a emulation mode for old font than to have hugely self-righteous expectations.
