beta 3.7 Wrong icon placement, shift-select not working
« on: October 02, 2010, 04:14:58 am »
Hi,

I have just downloaded the Beta and startet playing around with it.
The new fonts and explosions look great, however there seems to be something wrong with the Icon order (see image below)
plus I find it rather difficult to read the Text on the Tabs that are currently NOT selected.

- The selected Starting Position is not beeing highlighted
- The Auto Remains Builder Control Node is gone?
- Adding Units to a selection holding shift is broken

Regards

The selected starting position not showing seems to only be when you start the game without selecting a  specific player color. Or something along those lines; selecting a color manually in the lobby can let you get around it temporarily, but we obviously need a better fix longterm.

The tabs for the buy/tech buttons being unreadable is a known issue.

None of the control nodes were removed, so it's some sort of display issue. Might be related to the display order issue from your screenshot, not sure.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!

I looked at the image, but I didn't spot what's wrong; can you help the dense programmer? :)

Actually the whole top row of a 4-row buy menu was gone, that's already been fixed for the next version :)

Will go take a look at that, thanks!

Ok, just fixed the lobby color initialization and changing bugs for 3.701 :)

I don't have any further confirmed bugs for this thread, though I may have missed one since it's difficult to pick apart multi-bug reports.  The only one I'm not sure about is the icon-order thing, if you tell me what's wrong I can try to take a look :)

By icon he meant game button. They'd been slid to the left on the top row in his image. Fortress on top of he wrong column, etc.

Ok, gotcha.  I had fixed that at some point but maybe I missed something.
