Windows v6 beta test

[TSAdmin]

-"Full screen resolution" option in F3 doesn't save your choice anymore. Other F3 options seem to change and retain fine.

• When moving (on all defined movement controls) if you Alt and Tab out of the window your character won't stop moving in the direction you were heading in. Much like the Ctrl/Alt bug I mentioned earlier with IJKL movement.

I sometimes use it to copy/paste the level name I'm in... though such a thing could probably be better implemented by servers themselves as staff tools than a window that is pretty much otherwise useless.

On the note of character's not being read properly, I notice this in the Game Messages & Engine Log:

Couldn't open C:Windowsfonts empsitc.ttf for writing!
File download: head983.gif (size: 3978) done
File download: microsoft sans serif.ttf not found
File download: idle.gani (size: 7988) done
File download: segoe uibd.ttf not found
File download: segoe ui.ttf not found
File download: tempsitcbd.ttf not found
File download: ariali.ttf not found
File download: arialit.ttf not found

Notice the first entry, it doesn't have any backslashes, so it's not finding the path to the fonts folder by the looks of it.

I'll try to fix these soon. The second one is actually a problem stefan may have to fix with the "flickering" boolean.

Alright, I have improved the time it takes to update but it should never have been 30 seconds, the timer was on 2 seconds. Perhaps you mean that the playerlist wasn't updating but that's a bug that's already on the main page (guitextlistctrls not updating).

Are you sure you're using the profile system from "Login 2"? I remember fixing both of those things.

Make sure you're using the profile and playerlist system from Login 2.

[TSAdmin]

Hmm, not sure if this is fixed with your login2 stuff or not, Tig. I've mostly been using the login2, but just noticed one thing without them:

-F2 messages (sendRPGMessage(); ) do not update unless the F2 window is already open. Noticed this while levelling on GK and using /skills

Yes, I've noticed that too, I think the problem with that is that it's not logging messages unless you open it at least once (then you can close it again and experience no problems). Maybe I can get that fixed.

These are fixed now (on Login 2 only).

I noticed something on GK with the boats where the script is trying to update the players location in relation to the boat but it doesn't seem to be working in v6. Perhaps there's a slight downfall in support for this. As with 90% of my bug reports, here's a short video to show you the bug in action:


As usual, if you get An error occurred. Please try again later, check back again after 5 or so minutes. The video may not be "Live" yet.
Also, sorry about the MSN and Trillian sounds in the background!

All I see is the captain wanting his booty. Yes, I really just did that.

i disagree, it can be used by players to report bugs on a level and other stuffs.

That is not new and not a bug. Scripts are not meant to be able to read from the root Graal folder.

That is Windows-specific, Windows is freezing the process. The only way to solve that would be to create another process for the player list, but that would be too complex and not really worth the effort. So it is not planned to add that anytime soon. In newer generations of Windows it is fixed.

The font rendering has been changed, but that particialy problems seems to be more that specific font. Tempus Sans somehow displays different, will check sometime if that can be improved.

Sounds similar to a problem we had on Mac before. It would be good if someone could reproduce the error and check if it has to do with the recreation of the RC window - connecting to a different server and then opening the RC again or so.

About F5: it's now a scripted window (-Serverlist_LoadLevel) and can be improved to display more stuff or so. It's meant as quick way to see the current position and can sometimes be helpful.

The scripted F5 window always bugged me. Way too large for the tiny information it displays.

Yeah, I was using the login1 playerlist because I didn't see the updated opening post, so forget the profile errors. Here are some bugs on this one though:

• The ability to see your buddies/guild members online that aren't on the same server seems to be absent, but it does work in the login1 playerlist.
  Update: I see the option is unchecked in my playerlist options, but I can't seem to check it? Along with other options.
• The guild tab (second along) doesn't display people online and on tag that are in the guilds once you've expanded them, even when refreshing. One person showed when I didn't have their guild expanded, and another was always there but at the bottom of the list when I hadn't expanded any guilds.
• When you open up the server tab (third one along) and expand some servers, the players don't appear under the server that they're from, they just list at the bottom.
• If I scroll to the bottom of both the guild and the server lists (using page down or arrow keys) it will open a PM for the last person on it.

BTW..

This also happened to me when I first started playing with the client (told Skyld) but I can't replicate it anymore. I'm on Windows 7.
