0.3.0.13 First Bugs
« on: March 03, 2006, 03:32:29 am »
All right ... I couldn\'t resist trying the client once I got it downloaded ...

And here are the first bugs I could notice (at least on my configuration)

- The shortcutbar doesn\'t draw correctly. There are only 4 shortcut buttons and I cannot modify them through the .xml file as I used to.

- The chatwindow is transparent and remains transparent allthough I chat or go over it with the mouse.

Now let\'s help Dfryer by continuing the bug hunt ... please do post bugs only once.  8)

For the chatwindow: have you tried to open the file planeshift.cfg and see the settings of the chatwindow? Usually in that file the transparency settings of each window are defined.
They might have been wrongly defined there to make the window always transparent.

The new version is much better, but my sound does not work. I have enabled it in pssetup.

Earthlink, that is unfortunately a known issue. The sound renderer has been changed with this new release, and the macintosh support is still behind the others (which instead have other cosy problems like big memory leaks :|)

All right,

the chat window  issue is solved by opening the planeshift.cfg file in textedit and changing in the bold part below the values to 0:

PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.Visible = true
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.PosX = 468
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.PosY = 454
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.Width = 330
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.Height = 146
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.MinTransparency = 200
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.MaxTransparency = 200

PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.FadeSpeed = 8
PlaneShift.GUI.ChatWindow.Fade = true

Thanks a lot AryHann  :]

Aznakh, you should be able to access those settings in-game by right-clicking the chat window (in the part where the text displays).

The sound is gone. pssetup.app doesn\'t help.

Hermeneus: known problem, check other threads as well.

@Cha0s, sorry I forgot that the \"aux\" menu of the chat window doesn\'t appear any longer if you right click it...

You could just edit the transparancy settings of another window by rightclicking on it and then click \"apply to all\".

That is what Cha0s said, basically ;)

Before there was a special window that was appearing when you were right clicking the chat window - and now there is not any longer for some reason. I just forgot about it, that is why I was suggesting the manual editing.

sound bug or not
« Reply #11 on: March 05, 2006, 07:16:46 pm »
I have to question the accuracy of the fault for the sound not working on Mac.
dfryer disabled the sound while configuring psclient because he couldn\'t get it to work right on his computer, but what is the real cause the new renderer not working on his system?

From the information I have at this time: sound not working in the first place--on fryers system--could be due to any of the following.
1) The reconfigure on 10.3 caused the client to be directed to a file that is not available from the renderer.
1a) ...to be directed to a file to coordinate the sound card with the renderer--but it is not in the driver [because dfryer\'s last driver update was for 10.2? slim]
2) The renderer was configured on 10.4 so it is asking for a file that is not with 10.3.  [Like now with psclient on os10.2]
3) The renderer is not compatible with mac (slim).
4) 10.3 is manifesting one of its sound bugs that were oh so popular with online games when it first came out = miscoordinating required files between what it wants, the card uses, and the game is requesting.

My bets would be on 1 or 4.
